How to Replace a Clutch in your Car or Truck (Full DIY Guide)
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.

The grease and bread method for removing the bearing from a blind hole puts you on a whole other level of wizardry.

Can i use bread and butter so i won't waste it after i pulled out the bearing🙄🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
I've done it with just bread, it looks like it was a lot easier than the grease/bread and less mess!

I don't even own a manual transmission. Why am I watching this? Because now I could fix it just from watching this. You're an awesome teacher sir.
Thanks man

How you can remember to explain so many steps and details is amazing. At my age, (64) this would overwhelm me. I’m also a woman, and did not grow up working on cars. This is why boys AND girls should start learning mechanics as CHILDREN!

@@RatusMax Something called... THE INTERNET
i visualized that
I've done the grease trick, never used bread though...
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!
I love your video series... each one you breakdown the job at hand in chronological order and in simple language... Thank you for sharing your expertise with great knowledge and enthusiasm.
Thanks Nathan.
I'm sorry I didn't catch all that the first time, could you please go over it again but this time use my 98 ranger as an example? I promise to watch more closely!
Hahahaha I need to do my ranger. I don’t even want to bc the exhaust is rusted to bits
ChrisFix even more of a reason to do so my dude
Rangers are pretty easy to replace the clutch, just did my 93 3.0, i didn’t remove the y pipe thinking it wouldn’t be in the way so i unbolted the transmission and found out I couldn’t lower the transmission enough, should’ve removed the y pipe first and would’ve made taking the bell housing bolts a lot easier too

I just wanted to reach out and tell you how awesome you and your videos are for Diys. Being a female , mechanical skills normally are not on my resume but repairs are so expensive I have learned to do many of them myself and finding a video that breaks it down well enough for this to be done is more times than not very difficult , and leads to many trips to the library or hours of searching on line with taking bits and pieces from each source and tackling the job. 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. Like the clutch video , it saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of stressful searching. Thank you so much and don’t stop teaching guy it is your calling. .
@brendasmithazgirl2 Kudos to you for repairing your own car! My brain can’t keep up!!! Maybe if I listened ten times and transcribed this video, I MIGHT be able to do what he did!!!

22:52 "We want the end of the alignment tool to go all the way into the pilot bearing and that will hold the clutch in the middle for us." 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! As always, thank you for sharing and stay safe!
Chris, I can't thank you enough for these wonderful videos. I myself is a student who just acquired my first car, and with not a lot of money on my hands, these videos really help!

You need to put a Chris fix exclusive wrap and a body kit on the driftstang
Yeah a really cool racing livery would be awesome
Bradley_Jemison idk I kinda like the clean look it currently has
imded I like the red but I feel like the body needs a more aggressive look
Bradley_Jemison ya I agree it would look so meannnnn and aggressive
Bradley_Jemison a wrap would be cool but I think the car looks good as is in terms of the body... the only thing is possibly the spoiler but that still looks really clean
Thank you for adding all the cleaning tips- I am going to be replacing the clutch and all pieces on my 99 Miata next year, and wanted to do it on my own. this video was extremely informative simply because the information translates to so many different cars.
I am so thankful for your videos. They're so clear and packed with information while remaining efficient!
When he started pouring bread in that seal, I was like, "wait a minute, it's not April 1st, is it?" But it all makes sense
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.
A bar of soap also works
Rag is less malleable, so might be able to do it sooner, and without quite the mess. @@aussiebloke609
_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 did say "without quite the mess", not "without any mess", for a reason. ;P@@aussiebloke609
Owns an automatic, still watches... great upload.

Dude, your clutch is toast!
Hoping this video helps!!! I'm more familiar with computers/electronics than cars/mechanical stuff..... I mean if this is even what I'm aiming to do.....had my starter replaced last year because the prior winter (& only when it was freezing temps or lower) when I'd start my car (09 civic ex) before leaving work for a brief instant I could hear the starter/flywheel teeth grinding. dude that did the work said he'd recommend replacing the flywheel cuz the teeth were damaged but I could get away with it as long as nothing weird was happening, but within the last month (not super cold weather but on cold starts) I gotta feather the gas while trying to get into 1st gear, it'll be slipping I think....feels like it's trying to grab but shakes the car instead. not hard to get going and only does it in first gear and never from it to second or through any of the lower gears (maybe since I'm already moving and RPM is higher??? Idfk 🤣) however I can only imagine what I'm experiencing isn't good lol and that I should figure it out/get it fixed ASAP. as for mechanical skills I'd say the most in depth/difficult job I've done on my own vehicles was replacing the timing chain, putting on a new harmonic balancer on my old 84 mustang... or replacing pain in the ass side motor mount on current civic (mainly cuz I really didn't have proper equipment/tools to do myself & dropped one of the bolts in my front clip....ended up taking the whole bumper off after an hour of trying to fish it out from above/below anywhere 😡) I think I could do lots of stuff myself just no fancy lift/endless tools, etc 🤣🤣, and never enough time..... however I do got some spare cash since I sold my backup computer to a desperate buyer haha. So we'll see 26:58 uhhh did I miss something?? Lol the mark you made on the alignment tool is the same as every other spline correct??? lol it's a symmetrical piece isn't it? cuz looks like you could just turn till ANY of the splines are pointing up...plz someone inform me
Thanks for convincing me to become a mechanic, even now as a mechanic your videos help so much you make this simple and great, I just love it!

Never once did he show us how to actually take apart an engine to get to things like the pistons or crank shaft or even bothered lifting any cars to try and show us transmission work 🙄
hey chris only thing that was inaccurate in this video was the input shaft play. there are tons of gearboxes that have quite loose input shafts from factory and they center on the pilot bearing on the flywheel. just wanted to point this out as there may be a ton of diyers that will think their gearbox is in need of replacing when its perfectly fine. otherwise another great video.

@@chrisfix Thanks! I worked on this car with my dad 30 years ago, and recently inherited it so it’s very special to me besides the history of it :-) I’m currently waiting for all the parts and good weather because my garage is just big enough to park it in. I’ll let you know how it went!
wow.. worth 30 minutes of my life
Thanks! That’s the goal!
True
So true!
Great video Chris! One super important thing to note for many modern vehicles, if there is a tone wheel for the crank position signal on the flywheel you MUST clock the flywheel properly or the car will NOT start. Learned that one the hard way and I've seen professionals make the same mistake. Like/Pin this post so people don't make the same mistake!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Just one more part added to try and keep the DIY'r down.
Bro, this has got to be the best descriptive how to videos I've experienced. Thank you a ton
Chris your vids are always informative, comprehensive and enjoyable, cheers
I appreciate all the efforts you put on to make this video available. I can't imagine how you did read many instruction materials, how many hours you've spent behind the screen to collect many many footage to create this ultimate guide. Greetings from Iraq...
Thanks so much! It does take a lot of time and effort but the end result and comments like this make it all worth it!
I just want to thank Chris Fix for adding in kg conversions for the rest of us in this universe! Edit: Oh my! Thanks for all of those like, most I’ve ever got
Of course!
Yes i am from europe(UK)
@@chrisfix Can you also add Nm when you mention the torque? Much obliged :D
"It's actually really simple"... hah! I love your videos. Very clear. I'm not sure how you manage that. They actually make me feel better about taking my car to a mechanic. I can appreciate when something is over my head right now.
This was super helpful! I have a bad throw out bearing in my sn95 and had no clue how to fix it. I saw the sn95 in the thumbnail and I knew this was the video for me. I learned so much about my car thanks to this video!
