Brian Sowers

I bring over 35 years of hands-on experience in automatic transmission rebuilding, diagnostics, and parts sourcing. My career began at a young age in a family-owned transmission shop, and since then I’ve grown into a trusted expert in the field — rebuilding everything from classic TH350s to modern 10-speed automatics. I’ve worked with customers across the U.S., built an eCommerce business focused on high-quality kits, and maintained a strong YouTube presence offering teardown and technical videos for DIYers and professionals alike.

My technical expertise covers a wide range of transmission platforms across GM, Ford, and Chrysler, including:

GM: TH350, TH400, 4L60E, 4L80E, 6L80/6L90, 8L90, 10L90, and Allison 1000

Ford: C6, AOD, 4R70W, 4R100, 6R80, and 10R80

Chrysler: A727, 46RE/48RE, 62TE, 68RFE, and ZF-based 8HP/9HP units

I pride myself on clear communication, real-world solutions, and staying grounded in what actually works — not just what’s in the manual. Whether it's helping a customer over the phone troubleshoot a no-reverse issue, walking someone through a stack-up spec, or identifying valve body crossovers, I bring both patience and precision to every call.

I'm now seeking a remote technical support role where I can leverage my deep knowledge base, passion for the trade, and experience helping others succeed — whether it's a fellow rebuilder, a weekend warrior, or a dealership tech.

With over 35 years in the transmission and automotive industry, I bring unmatched hands-on experience in diagnosing, rebuilding, and supporting a wide range of GM, Ford, and Chrysler automatic transmissions. I’ve personally rebuilt thousands of units, provided remote support to customers worldwide, and built technical resources including videos, diagrams, and live product support systems. My background includes reverse engineering, field service, and guiding both professionals and DIYers through complex rebuilds.

I specialize in customer tech support, part identification, failure analysis, and step-by-step guidance—all done remotely with clarity, accuracy, and professionalism.

While my expertise is grounded in decades of real-world transmission rebuilding and diagnostic experience, I’ve also completed extensive technical training and certifications, including:

CompTIA A+ Certification – Operating Systems & PC Hardware

NCR Level II Field Technician Certification – Advanced POS & Kiosk Systems

Cisco ESTQ & SDL Fundamentals – Networking and Systems Diagnostics

Photoshop CS3 – Advanced Tools

Electrical Safety, Lockout/Tagout, and PPE Training

SQL Server & Microsoft SBS Administration

Dozens of specialized NCR, IBM, and Juniper technical and IT certifications

Ongoing hands-on training in automatic transmission design, reverse engineering, and failure analysis

This combined technical foundation supports my ability to provide remote diagnostics, digital support materials, and clear technical communication with customers and technicians.
