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.

  1. Don’t have a standard transmission and still love your educational video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Chris.

  2. Man, you did a great great job A lot of work on this vid. I can tell. Good job and thanks for sharing. And I watched all the ads, cuz your work deserved it.

  3. I have just had clutch, bearing and flywheel replaced. I now have a strange sound when pressing in the clutch and the sound of the road seems amplified when driving. Any ideas of what is wrong?

    Thanks.

  4. my rear main seal leak got pretty bad recently… great video and I suppose I might as well preventatively replace a few other things while I'm down there

  5. Hey Chris! I’m 16 years old and just took the transmission out on my fwd car and it’s my first time doing something this into the motor thank you so much for encouraging the next generation!!❤

  6. Chris what about the two bolts on the tranny you have to get from the front? When do you tighten those bolts ? That would seem kind of annoying to have to go under the car than go back down and back up lol

  7. Brilliant video. I watched as I like to know how things work ! It helps me in my current job. I literally had NO IDEA how it worked. Your videos are SO Helpful and well explained.

  8. Mechanics= input shaft is wobbling sir.

    Chris: lets replace whole transmition

    Mechanic: sir bearing is not coming out

    Chris: bring a bread piece and some grease, ill show 😂

  9. I don't know if there's any relatively new ChrisFix viewers like me out there, but no matter what car/truck Chris is doing a demonstration on, the general knowledge is much the same across the board. Only some terms may apply like in this case cable driven clutch vs hydraulic clutch(es), but even in this scenario he said a lot of the processes are the same between hydraulic vs cable and linkage clutches. Thanks again for the national treasure level content and knowledge, Chris! 😎💪

  10. I purchased a 2007 Toyota RAV4 limited 4×4 in early October of 2023. After I had it for a week or so, I realized I had a shudder when going over certain specific road areas. I had some work down on it less than 10 days after purchasing it. When they test drove it it didn’t do the rattling sound, so this was not addressed. I started researching and thought it may be my torque converter. I finally had the mechanic at NTB test drive it again and it did it this time. I have only driven it about 1400 miles so far. I don’t keep how long this was happening before I purchased it.

    The mechanic said it was the torque converter and that it would be best to replace the transmission because it could be damaged. It has about 181500 miles on it I believe. It also burns oil, which the seller did tell me. I add a little oil after every gas fill.

    I am wondering what is the best thing to do to fix the torque converter issues. The mechanic said he is quitting his job and going somewhere else, although they can’t do that kind of work there anyway. He said he would try to find some place he could do the work or someone he trusts to do it for me.

    My brother has a friend who has his own shop, but isn’t very reliable for doing repairs for me. I have a hard time getting him to commit the doing work. I purchased this because my car kept having issues and I was afraid even though it only has 70k miles it may not last. I am a single disabled mother of an 18 year old autistic son who can’t work. So I need someone trustworthy to do things for me since I have limited resources.

    My brother contacted me yesterday and suggested the following options, I wonder what you would recommend? My brother talked to his friend he found a transmission with 78k miles and it’s 1650$ he will change it and everything for 2500 including transmission.

    Or he can change your torque converter for 1000$ and change fluid in your transmission he does a lot of transmissions and hardly has any problems sis I’d go for converter because it hasn’t been making noise long enough to hurt transmission.

    I asked him Will he be able to tell if the torque converter is ok on it before it gets put in?

    He said He could change the converter on the 78k one before it’s installed for 200$ more dollars

    What would you suggest, and are these fair prices?

    My other car is not drivable right now, the clutch sticks to the floor and I have not been able to get his friend to fix it yet. This happened on Christmas Eve, so 6 1/2 months.

    I appreciate any advice. Thanks so much
