  • Learn how to replace a clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, throw out bearing (aka release bearing), pilot bearing and rear main seal in this video!
    My clutch was fine but my throwout bearing was bad so I decided to show how to replace all of the wear items while the transmission was off. This includes replacing the pilot bearing which the transmission input shaft goes into, the throwout bearing which engages the pressure plate via the clutch fork, the flywheel which I upgraded to an aluminum light weight flywheel, and finally the rear main seal because that is a common wear item which causes oil leaks in higher mileage motors. With the transmission out, it is worth it to replace all of these parts now instead of having to do this all over again. Most clutch kits come with the throwout bearing and pilot bearing so you just need to buy a rear main seal.

    Some other tips to supplement this great video:
    1. Even with the alignment tool, if it’s a plastic one, the clutch disc will likely sag a little. So before you tighten the pressure plate bolts, make sure the alignment tool is centered in the pilot bearing and level.
    2. Some transmissions will have a small amount of play at the input shaft so do some research before buying a new
    tranny if yours has end play.
    3. Another trick to lining up the input shaft to the splines, is manipulating the gear levers and put it in gear then rotate the rear tailshaft until it lines up and fits in. This causes the input shaft to rotate. Then put it back into neutral as you push it in.
    4. Don’t hammer in bearing pilot bushings!

    The first solo clutch job I did was on a lift. I didn't have a cart or table so my pressure plate was on the floor by my feet. I installed the clutch plate with the alignment tool, picked up the pressure plate from the floor and as I stood back up the falling clutch plate struck the bridge of my nose while on its way to the floor, where it was chipped against the concrete. Live and learn!

Your videos always break it down to where I can understand it and you show every step many times I will search your videos and I do it with your video kinda like we’re doing them together like hands on lol.

      @aussiebloke609 5 лет назад +7

      Seen it done with a rag also. All it has to do is stop the grease from squirting out around your tool - that way, the only place for it to go is behind the bearing.

      Rag is less malleable, so might be able to do it sooner, and without quite the mess. @@aussiebloke609

    • @aussiebloke609
      @aussiebloke609 5 лет назад

      _Usually_ less mess, but harder to get a good seal sometimes, especially if the cloth is too thick. Remember that it has to fit between the inside of the bushing and the outside of your pushing tool without too much friction, or you'll just wedge it all inside the bushing - but without too much extra room or it just won't work. But it's an option if you don't have bread handy. :-)

I bought it with 400 000+ km on the clock and believe it or not, the rear main seal went. The clutch was already worn down some and with the extra oil flinging around, I ended up burning the clutch. Pressure plate was also bent from the heat. Flywheel was saved with a resurface. Got the parts, followed your instructions and I am almost there. takes a bit longer in between all the other stuff of life, but as soon as it's up and running I will send you some photos and videos. Thanks again for making great videos. Keep at it. I just love watching your videos, can't stop. PS the gearbox on my pickup is F***** heavy. PSPS, the bread works great!

    I have a 02 Camry, 2.4 ,high mileage, 5 speed. Have to replace clutch, still use it carefully. I am disabled, I don't have the equipment (what little tools I had were stolen)to do it as I see you do which is fine. I have the parts, just need the rear engine seal. A mechanic was going to work on it, am about 25 miles from Houston. A veteran(as this Veteran referred me to this mechanic, which doesn't call him with updates on car,)friend went to this mechanic for his 07 Infiniti, been there a month so far with this mechanic, though on mine, $ it be workable, now, I don't know where to go, as honest mechanics are rare. Other mechanics/shops are outrageously expensive. I don't have the financial means to do it other than pay it out. That's the main repair I need. You have good videos, easy for me to understand. So I'm praying and looking. So Praise the Lord Jesus. Thanks. Have a blessed day
