Dear Sir, I just watched with great interest part one and two of the clutch replacement in the Colorado and firstly a GREAT job. I also have a 2009 Holden Colorado with 140000klms on the clock and the clutch is now due for replacement ( my Colorado has the 3.6 litre petrol engine in it and not the diesel engine ) I have just booked my Colorado in for the the clutch kit replacement next week, so therefore your RUclips video was timely. I simply do not have the space and the required equipment at home to do it myself, ( mostly the space ) also my clutch slave cylinder is leaking and that has to be replaced also. Given that I am not doing any serious 4WD with my Colorado and rarely tow anything with the car I have been advised just to stick with a standard clutch pack kit. Thank you for posting this video, I learned a lot
Done a engine replacement on the petrol v6 colorado it's a bit easier to access most things Top bellhousing bolts are a bit tight but if you angle the gearbox down its easier to get tor them
But definitely understand not having the time I'm falling short of that myself lately hence the major lack of posting videos the last year haha Good luck with your clutch replacement 🍻
Good work, this really helped my son and myself to do my Colorado, I hope you can help me with a new problem…. when I shift into first the reverse lights fuse blows , ??!
Hmm not to sure where the reverse sensor is but maybe have a look while to gearsticj boot is off for any harness that it may make contact with when shifting into first possibly 🤔
@ thanks for responding, yes they are all good, both sensors are new too , we thought it might be the trailer plug patch loom…. which turned out to be a 7 pin , I’ll keep checking , I’ve used over 20 fuses checking so far haha
Great Video mate, plenty of helpful step by step instructionals and tips along the way. Question for you, which im sure could have plenty of possible problems/solutions. 09 RC Colorado 4JJ1 Manual 280k km. Under load (hill climb) RPM alot higher than normal with minimal increase in power/speed. Just trying to narrow down possible causes. Clutch feels normal. Thanks in advance.
Mine was slipping intermittently, turns out the input shaft bearing on the gearbox was leaking oil into the bellhousing. Oil came out of the inspection ports on the bellhousing. Clutch is shagged unfortunately even though it doesn't appear to be that old. Perhaps make sure your bellhousing doesn't have any oil in it. Or you could just have a shagged clutch that's due for replacement.
Nylon bush on the gearbox end of gear shift is likely worn. There is also a grub screw you can tighten inside the top of gearbox housing where gearshift attaches.
Hey mate if it's shuddering will more then likely have hot spots which will yeah need a quick skim I do it regardless as it's only Like $70 to get done It's not worth the risk
@@OUTBACKDiscovery Oh yes. Next out-of- my-own-workshop job could be fuel injectors. I have some 225 000 km in the ODO and the engine runs nicely, but uses quite a lot of fuel. Might try cleaning the intake even though it requires some work on the fuel lines. Afraid of letting some dirt in the injectors. Keep up the good work :)
Appreciate the video mate. Wondering what attachment you used to pull the spigot bearing? Looked like something on a slide hammer? Also taking your advice on the transmission jack, I was going to try without one
@CaptainBlackbeard-hx4st hey dude it's just a internal bearing puller kit off ebay all the attachments came with it aswell as the sliding hammer section If u search inter bearing puller you will see what I mean also if your in Australia repco and supercheap will sell them
Hey Ben can't remember the name sorry If you download the app shazam and play the song in the background while the app is running it will tell you the name of the song
This has been done completely wrong. I did many of these seals as an isuzu tech. There is a pulling cup to remove wear sleeve and a pressing tool to fit the seal. The rear main carrier gets fitted first then the seal gets pressed in via the tool. All dry. No oil or rubber grease. The chances of this leaking or having a reduced service life is very high
Great job mate, got me inspired to do my aging clutch. start slipping after almost 600,000 km. Isuzu really rocks!

Great video Ryan

Clutch feels normal.
Thanks in advance.
I'd do the stall test like at the beginning of the video sounds like your clutch is slipping to me

@OUTBACKDiscovery any update on how that seal is holding up? And the clutch?
@carlbengtsson8233 25,000 km later and yeah all is sweet 🍻
Same truck over here, just bought it with 200k, quick question. Does the gearbox stick moves like a jelly? Its so unstable, but seems to be normal?
Can't remember to be honest sorry mate 😅
Pretty sure it wasn't super sloppy
@@OUTBACKDiscoverycheers man!
I got an RC and my gear stick has alot of play but shifts like a dream
Nylon bush on the gearbox end of gear shift is likely worn. There is also a grub screw you can tighten inside the top of gearbox housing where gearshift attaches.
Just got an 09 RC with 120,000km. It has a bad shudder on the clutch. Flywheel machining I assume will need to be done
Hey mate if it's shuddering will more then likely have hot spots which will yeah need a quick skim
I do it regardless as it's only Like $70 to get done It's not worth the risk
@@OUTBACKDiscovery thanks for the response! Will get it done then!
Quite a workout. Had my Isuzu D’Max 2011 changed at a local shop. It would have been to much a struggle. Cost me some 850€
Yep sometimes it's definitely worth paying someone else sometimes 🤣

Seal needed to have rubber grease rubbed into lip.
Hey Jeff I didn't use rubber grease but did use engine oil

The rear main carrier gets fitted first then the seal gets pressed in via the tool. All dry. No oil or rubber grease. The chances of this leaking or having a reduced service life is very high
@@SkidsUpNZfound out the hardware a special tool is required for this seal. Hired one, made life easy.
Might be a part 3 when the tranny is pulled again to fit a new rear main!
