  • Transmission removal, replacement, and installation. Learn how to remove a transmission so you can replace your clutch or flywheel, or so you can rebuild your transmission and install a new one in your car or truck.
    In this video I show you the 10 simple steps on how to replace a transmission. I am doing this on a rear wheel drive 98 Mustang but the process is very similar on other rear wheel drive, front wheel drive, and even automatic cars and trucks. Each detailed step will allow you to learn how to remove a transmission yourself so you can replace a clutch, flywheel, rear main seal, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, or just swap transmissions.

    To answer the most common questions in the comments section:
    1.) Quality videos like this take a lot of time to produce. This and the next took me over 300hrs.
    2.) Follow me on Instagram "ChrisFixit" for daily updates and tips and tricks.
    3.) The exhaust on the car is the performance exhaust, just used on the track.
    4.) The speedometer is fine... it spun all the way around at the last drift event and I havent had a chance to take the gauge cluster out and push it back to the other side of the peg.
    5.) The other red Mustang is from this video: ruclips.net/video/N-exs1iMLFU/видео.html

    Man this is a very useful video, I must replace my clutch, I went to the dealership shop and told me it's going bad at just 35000 km....very disappointed. I think I will replace it myself, I got a friend that is a good mechanic and I will do it myself, the dealership shop will dry my bank account. Normally my car is under warranty, but I've looked up and the other customers that tried to replace it under warranty, but they were refused because it's considered consumable so it doesn't meet the conditions for warranty. Most likely they will blame it on me for "bad usage of the clutch", I don't trust them. I'm better off doing it myself and use the money for better quality parts. I never had any issues in the 2.5 years since I have the car, but this is
    really disappointing knowing how I drove this car, withouth burnouts, driving normally.....these new cars are so far from reliable. This clutch should've lasted at least 150000 km, even more given how I drove it. Alright, the rant is over, your video is really helpful, I hope this goes well:)

    To more fully drain your transmission, remove the transmission cooler line (thin metal line) on the radiator. Slip a hose over it, and run it to a catch pan. Turn on the car and run it until the fluid just starts to sputter out of the hose.

    Just a tip learning from my mistakes! Even if your exhaust is not in the way of your transmission, you probably still want to disconnect it because when you tilt the engine to put in the transmission you could crack your exhaust manifold like I did!

Took like 5 hours but we were a 33 year old with bad eyesight and a distracted 14 year old who just wanted a wataburger when we were done. Also didn't have a transmission jack. Dad was benchpressing the transmission while I shoved it forward to install. He knew what he was doing, but I lacked the skills to be of any real use. Wish I would have taken it all more seriously at that time and appreciated the time spent together. Thanks for the memories

He said they got into a fight and he went out and removed and replaced the transmission in like 2 or 3 hours and told them to leave.

    I don't even have a car, but is so satisfying to see Chris Fix repair it.

    The mark of a good video maker is the inability to click away. I didn't intend on watching a 28 minute auto repair video at 1 am but that is what happened. Good video as always Chris!

    I absolutely adore the fact that you cover all steps, even if you already did another video on it. You have the highest quality content I've ever seen. No joke.
