Testimonials
A few of the many testimonials from people who have purchased and used the videos to repair or rebuild their automatic transmissions and/or rear ends are listed below. Bad Shoe Productions thanks all who have purchased videos and we are happy you have enjoyed them and put them to good use.
Hello Ken Jim Sullivan here, I purchased your 8.8 dvd repair video I got
one thing to say awesome! I own a fox mustang and a hands on car guy and
this video takes the mystery out of rebuilding an 8.8 rear end which I
plan to rebuild in the near future, from the great step by step procedures
on the video to the bonus spec sheets what a great package. I plan to
purchase the C4 and 5 liter swap video soon, thanks again...Jim

Ken, I just finished rebuilding my first C6 transmission and it went
really well! I have begun to work on my second C6 and tearing it down was
a breeze this time now that I have a little bit of experience. I am
looking forward to getting this second one up and running too. I really
couldn't have done it without your video! It was so good that I will
definitely be picking up the AOD video next week so I can try fixing my
Mustang too! I will be recommending your video to anybody that is
interested in trying to work on their equipment. Thanks again! Joel

Ken: Just finished a complete rebuild of my 8.8 IRS using your disk set. I
made my own case stretcher and replaced all seals, bearings and set up the
shims exactly as you directed. I now have a new perfectly functioning 8.8
in my Explorer with a total cost of about $500. You may be interested to
know that one of the carrier bearing races was very corroded, apparently
causing the wining. My friends were afraid to even consider tackling a
differential rebuild. But, with your disk set it was not that difficult.
This was a great project. Thanks Pete

I had originally found BadShoe Productions on google over a year and a half ago when I was looking for T5 transmission info and I clicked on your web site and was amazed with your videos so I bought the T5 video and my son and I have watched it many times, your videos are great and you’re a great teacher! You explain in terms me and my son both can understand. You’re a true car guy and I would not have got through my T5 without your help! I will own the whole BadShoe video library shortly!

Hello again Ken !!
Here's my payment for the 8.8 rebuild DVD !!!
I can't wait to get it !! ,,,,,Your series on the 5.0 into a Fox Body is Excellent !! ,,,in all aspects. Visual, factual, Video Production.
---You know, some of the greatest times growing up as a car guy were learning new things about cars with my friends !! -- It was like "on the job" training ,,,,,,Fun and Easy !! -- Your DVD's make it fun and easy !!!. You made it seem as if I was listening and learning from a friend.
-- I've never rebuilt/setup a rearend before,,,I am looking forward to doing the 8.8 I picked up last week for $50 bucks. Yesterday I scored a "used" set of Ford Motorsports 4.10 gears with only 11,000 miles on them from a buddy for only $60. Tomorrow I pick up a 31 spline TracLoc carrier for $40.
-Thank you again,,,,,,I feel like I'm 20 again, waiting for my next Car Craft/Hot Rod mag. in the mail !!!
~ Mike Benjamin
Ken, All I can say is WOW, this was by far the easiest video to follow and you described every step in great detail. I can't begin to thank you enough! Without your video this could have been a nightmare. This was my first rebuild and it went very smooth. With the ugrades i put in the transmission it shifts nice and firm and should last a long time. I had so many people tell me not to try and rebuild it myself saying "an automatic is way too hard and that i'd never get it right". Im glad i didn't listen to them. It was a great learning experience for one and now i know exactly what is in my transmission. I will be doing any and all future rebuilds myself. Thanks again Ken and keep up the good work; your knowledge is appreciated by many!
~ William West
Ken, Carl here. I just wanted to thank you for the excellent job you did on the AOD trans. Video. I am just about ready to put the transmission in (the TV cable came off of my AOD as well). I could never have done this without your video.
~ Kenneth Carl
I finished rebuilding my 70’ C4 a few days ago and I wanted to send you my thanks and complements. Your DVD is outstanding! Every detail fully explained, photographed, and presented extremely well. I would call myself a pretty competent hobbyist mechanic, but I had never even seen the inside of an automatic transmission prior to this experience. After I saw your DVD I had the confidence to go ahead a give it a try. Well the C4 is back in line and running perfectly, she shifts like a dream. I only wish you made DVDs for the 1930 Ford Model A Coupe my father and I are restoring!
~ Christopher Hall
Ken, Just went through the t-5 video, it is excellent! The photography and oral instruction are outstanding. If you have never rebuilt a t-5 transmission this dvd is invaluable. Thanks for a quality product.
~ Pete Rudanovich
I just spent the weekend with my C-4 Trans and your DVD. It was way more than I expected. I had the trans taken apart and cleaned after watching your first part of the DVD. This weekend I put it all together with your help. I will start on my 9 in rear next. I never reply or comment on products, but I just had to say thanks for this one. Keep up the good work. When will you have a DVD for small block engines ? Thanks Again
~ Tom Jervinsky
I just finished watching your DVD on the Ford 9" and all I can say is WOW!! That is, hands down, the most complete instructional/how-to information on the Ford 9" I have ever seen. I am the kind of person that really takes pride in doing my own work. I wasn't sure I wanted to tackle my rear end alone, but now I have the confidence to dive right in and get to work! Your diagrams made it so easy to understand. I can't thank you enough for the fantastic job on that DVD!! I look forward to buying your other DVDs soon.
Thanks again.
~ Curtis Blankenship
Thanks for the fast response and I can't wait to get the DVD's. I have many of your other
DVD's on the AOD, C-6 and Ford 9". Your DVD's are some of my favorites.
Professionally done, easy to follow and real educational. I have received
videos from others that were a real joke. Thanks for all you have done for my confidence Ken and I
hope you have a great day
~ Bob Focht
That is by far the most informative training video I've ever watched. The filming in your garage was so unique. I felt like I was standing there watching and learning. It's down to earth and very easy to understand.
~ Fred Dawson
Hi Ken, Thought i'd let you know I think your DVD is fantastic. You put everything across so well, it will make my job so much easier when I rebuild my trans. Reading a book is ok but you can't beat seeing someone actually do it really can you. I will be sure to pass a link to your website around over here in UK. Thanks again mate.
Cheers,
~ Daniel
I received your C6 Rebuild DVD yesterday. Excellent job on the video!!! I watched 1/2 yesterday and your DVD answered most all the questions I had pertaining to the rebuild and inspection. I have the factory shop manual and two other manuals but none of them go into detail on inspection. I can't say enough about the video. I have two C6's to rebuild and the local shops want $1,400 each to rebuild out of the cars.
THANK YOU!!!
~ Tim Boyes
Hi Ken:
I watched both DVDs and wow! You did an awesome job explaining everything. I feel alot more confident about working on my C6 than before. I studied those Ford overhaul manuals over and over, and your video now makes everything fall into place. Thanks again.
~ Geoff Mackendrick
Awesome Video!Eliminates the Mystery of the Automatic Trans.! A Ton of Info! A++++
~ Mickael Koselansky
Good Morning Ken,
I have just finished reviewing your DVD. Simply put, it's Fantastic. Thanks for putting this information out for folks like me looking for Good instructions that are understandable. Well done,
~ Pat Hopf
Great videos and can't wait to tear into my transmission. Thanks
~ Larry Smith
Ken - I am very impressed with the video! The lighting, sound, angles, and instruction is top shelf stuff. I particularly liked the way you explored several different methods, like the different way to measure the case spread, the ways to press off a bearing, and the tips like use the old bearing innards to assist in pressing the new one all the way down. I have not tackled my job this weekend like I want to, but that was based on a few things I learned from the video.
~ Ken and Audra Brown
I would like to thank you for the 9" and C6 dvds you sent me one more time. I watched them both with great enthusiasm, they are absolutely fantastic. The way you speak is very easy to listen and to understand. Your professionality really shows on the videos, I appreciate you to share the knowledge and information. After watching the videos I feel pretty confident to overhaul the rear and trans myself. The best item(s) I´ve bought through eBay so far! I will definitely recommend your videos for any Ford guy.
~ Aatu Holma
Very Informative DVD's, Shipped quickly, Well Worth the money spent. A+++ Seller
~ Vernon Palmer
EXTREMELY HELPFUL DVD'S thank you very much A+
~ Kevin Barbaro
Recently I have added Bad Shoe Production owned by Ken Collins. Ken offerd videos and DVD's on "How-to" for Ford C4, C6 transmissions, 8.8, 9 & 9.75 Ford Rears. I actually got hooked up with Ken on Ebay where he sells his DVD's. I bought the 8.8 DVD early in the summer and was totally fascinated with it. It is very informative and well done. I recommend them to you. Ken is hooking me up with a C6 and 9" read DVD so I'll be able to do all of the work on my Fairlane properly.
~ Doug Bender
Fast shipping. Excellent video! You will not be disappointed. A+++
Received the video today and I think it is excellent! I have read a lot of material on how to rebuild a 9" differential and thought I could do it with no problems. Your video clarified/covered a lot of info that was missing.
~ Jerry Wilson
Great DVD, good communication A+
~ Monte Harris
I ordered the C4 DVD set from Ken last Saturday morning and the mailman delivered it Tuesday morning, great service. I just finished watching the last of the three disks a few minutes ago and I can say that they're impressive. I don't have any trans problems at the moment, but with these DVDs to guide me I wouldn't hesitate to overhaul my C4, and I've never been inside an automatic trans in my life.
~ Ed Boone
Good stuff you can't get anywhere else. Highly recommend.
~ Robert Bergen
Once again, professional DVD. Great presentation. Accurate step by step info.
~ Gerard Carvalho
Gm ken.. i got the videos couple of days ago, and all I can say is WOW!!..Exellent job. I feel like I can very easily tackle the job of rebuilding the ford aod trans with few problems. My girl friend watched part of it with me, and even she said, that she can understand how to do it.. and she's not any kind of a mechanic.
~ Grant Robinson
Just viewed the C-6 rebuild video last night and it looks awesome. Very informative.
~ Matt Jorae
Great looking dvd . tons of information . thanks
~ Darryl Noal
Recently I came found a video on EBAY that show how to install gears, bearings and rebuild the trac lock posi rear ends in every vehicle that has the 8.8 axles and 9.75 axles including the aluminum IRS that is in the 4x4 front models and mustangs. If you are planning to change gears yourself then this is very much worth the $35.00 and free shipping that I paid on Ebay. The 2 DVDs are about 1.5 hours or so. Mine came with a sheet with all the torque specs and tool lists. This is the best video I have came across on the 8.8, and 9.75 axles. I emailed him with my truck and he helped me lots.
~ Jason Rightmire
Excellent dvd,full of information,very pleased, a must have for the beginner!!!!
~ Tim Arnold
Professional DVD in every way. Don't hesitate to buy from Bad Shoe. Your knowledge along with the detail and examples are the best tools I could have to rebuild my C4. I brought my laptop into the garage with me and "WE" rebuilt my C4 together.
~ David Gallinger
We never would have been able to accomplish this project without the assistance of your DVD. The books and video tapes we looked at just didn't have the detail needed for someone that has never done a rear before. You DVD on the Ford 8.8 is worth its weight in gold!
~ Jim McKeever
Fantastic product and excellent service. Shipped quickly. Highly recommend.
~ William Troth
