This is a top notch video, excellent work on both the videography and the mechanical work as well. What year is this car? I have a 2000 corolla and I will eventually have to do this job and you sir have given me the confidence to do it due to the quality of this video. Thanks for putting this together.
Grant Burton sorry, one question ...I noticed some people support the engine before removal of gearbox...but i don’t see how you did it in your video? Did you also have to remove exhaust piping from exhaust manifold?
Hi Jaun, I left all the exhaust piping and manifold in place. I also supported the engine before removing the gearbox... I did this by inserting a 18mm piece of wood between the sub-frame and bottom of the sump. Then removed the final bolts holding the bell housing. (Apologies for the delayed reply)
Hi Minura, thanks very much. I have another improved clutch repair video ruclips.net/video/25Kv6D6sXsc/видео.html Not sure if you have seen it yet? Were you just interested in how the job is done or are you planning on doing a clutch repair job yourself?
Hi Bill, thanks. It sometimes can be a little tricky working by yourself. I had to make another cradle when replacing the clutch on the Hilux and it worked very well. I have a video on that. I definitely wouldn't have been able to easily remove the gearbox without it.
Hi Abar, awesome, thank you very much... 400 and counting. Also I'm no special mechanic, just the average guy wrenching away in the workshop. Thanks again.
I searched a how to replace clutch video, and then realized probably 0% of results would be from American creators lol. I'm in the United states now, but lived my whole life in Africa, and keep forgetting that most cars are automatic here. Great tutorial! I miss south Africa..... :(
Hi Gunnar, thanks for the feedback. I'll be posting a better guide on another vehicle next week Friday... busy editing it at the moment. Would you move back to SA? or just miss it but happy in the US... I think I'd like to move to the US.
@@GrantBurton I lived in Mozambique my whole life pretty much, but we visited SA a lot for various reasons. I don't think I could move to SA because I can't get a job there, and visas are getting hard to come by, but I definitely want to visit frequently.
Hi, It might be a good idea to plug the car into a diagnostic computer to check if there are any fault codes that come up that relate to your issue. I don't know much about automatics but have you checked the fluid level of the transmission?
Hi Alfredo, apologies for that... it's one of the things i don't like about this camera... its battery sucks, and it catches me out every now and again. But not to worry... it's pretty simple to unbolt and remove the left side and rear engine mount, speedometer cable and the two gear linkage cables... I'm sure if you are attempting a clutch change, you'll manage to remove that stuff without having seen it before.
Hi . Very god video. Thanks. Do you have any idea where i can find torque specification for flywheel, clutch, axle etc. for Toyota Avensis T27 . I can even buy , but is very hard to find it. I have everything for Toyota Avensis T25 (previous model) in PDF but not for T27. There are programs like : Autodata or Alldata Repair, but they are for mechanics and companies, they are too expensive.
Hi Dawid, unfortunately I don't have the torque specs. for that vehicle but I'll keep my eyes open and if I come across anything, will post here. If you come across them, let us know... possibly post here for others to see.
Good video. But I don't think a good idea for DIYers. I replaced my Corolla CV drive axle a couple of times. Very difficult to get it out, mainly because of limited space under the car.
Hi windyelm, thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the video. I also have an updated clutch change DIY guide video for a Toyota Hilux if you interested in that ruclips.net/video/25Kv6D6sXsc/видео.html. Working without a hoist / lift does make the job a little more difficult but with large enough tressles / jack stands, its not that bad. I Purchased larger stands to make the clutch change on our pickup a bit easier.
Hi, I sent the flywheel into one of our local machine shops for skimming. Basically skimming involved cutting a new flat surface into the running face of the flywheel. Back when the vehicle was new, the flywheel had a smooth and flat running surface. Likewise were the clutch plate pads smooth and flat. Over time, as the clutch plate wears, it can also wear shallow grooves into the flywheel surface or cause the flywheel to wear unevenly (even though by eye it may look flay, it may not run 100% true). If we were to install a new clutch plate without skimming the flywheel, there is chance that it may shudder when engaging. Sometimes you can get away with not skimming the flywheel but most (if not all) manufacturers will only warranty the new clutch plate if the flywheel was skimmed before installing the new clutch. Hope I've explained it correctly. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Norbie, it doesn't seem so. This is the first time the gearbox and clutch has been removed and there is no spigot bearing. My Hilux has a spigot bearing as i'm sure many other bigger vehicles have. I'm guessing the engineers at Toyota didn't deem it necessary to install one on the Tazz.
As luck would have it... I’m already working on another clutch change video for another vehicle, a Toyota pickup. Hopefully it’s an improvement. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi, thats not an easy question to answer as 'expensive' is a relative term. I suppose it depends on where in the world you are and how readily available the parts are, and also if you are able to complete the job yourself. Generally speaking, I would think It would be a mid-range cost repair... For example, Its more expensive than replacing brakes but it's not as expensive as doing a complete rebuild on a motor.

Was very helpful thanks
Hi Keyvan, it’s a pleasure 👍 super awesome to hear back from people that find the videos helpful 😁
Brilliant video. Great idea with the jack.

Great you are good...............
Hi Elmer, thanks very much. Soon to come is a clutch replacement on a Toyota Hilux Pickup.
Gear slips to neutral.. Toyota auris 07 automatic. After off n on the engine,it will engage. What should i do
Hi, It might be a good idea to plug the car into a diagnostic computer to check if there are any fault codes that come up that relate to your issue. I don't know much about automatics but have you checked the fluid level of the transmission?
great video, but some of the stuff I was hoping to see the most has been skipped over due to the camera battery issue.

What causes noisy in the gearbox when starting up the vehicle
Hi Hubert... what type of noise is it?

my your alone putting down that gear box
Can you explain what you did to "skim" the flywheel? Thanks for the great video!
Hi, I sent the flywheel into one of our local machine shops for skimming. Basically skimming involved cutting a new flat surface into the running face of the flywheel.

What engine is in this corolla?
Hi NZ, its a Toyota Tazz and the engine is a 2E - 1.3 litre 4 cylinder.
@@GrantBurtonis this process the same for the starlet 1.3t
@@Zaqaryy I'm not 100% sure but I guess if the process is not exactly the same, it will be very similar.
Curious; there's no pilot bearing for the transmission shaft?
Hi Norbie, it doesn't seem so. This is the first time the gearbox and clutch has been removed and there is no spigot bearing. My Hilux has a spigot bearing as i'm sure many other bigger vehicles have. I'm guessing the engineers at Toyota didn't deem it necessary to install one on the Tazz.
Make video again with details and also charge your camera
As luck would have it... I’m already working on another clutch change video for another vehicle, a Toyota pickup. Hopefully it’s an improvement. Thanks for the feedback.
Please I have a question is it expensive to fixed the clutch
