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.

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

Late night watch for me as a question about ChristopherFixtopher piqued my interest… What is your favorite band kind sir?
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.
Bread trick was crazy
I’m standing here in the grocery store, do I need Wheat or Rye bread???
Keep watching and support from Al Khafji Saudi Arabia 👍😊

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
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!!❤
Smooth and clean ❤
18:39 is that separator plate or gasket??
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
Nice job man
Best ,pod cast for DIY Mechanics.
My dad showed me the same trick with water and toilet paper
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.
Officer: sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?
Chris in driftstang: Officer, I have no idea.

Can you make a video about replacing a fwd clutch? There are a lot of tutorials but none like the ones you do
Dude how much for doing this on my car ?
Yoo i’m really love and highly appreciate those tips. It helps alot
Can't believe there's people out there like you putting up such awesome videos!

Ahh so this isint as easy as changing your brakes
where did you get the flywheel bolts? cant find them anywhere.
I love that exhaust tone. Sounds nice.
Don't stick bread and grease in the pilot hole like this absolute idiot!
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 😂
will a DW 9000 series 8 work for a clutch cable? XDdddddddddd
Many thanks CF, always a great video. 😊
How long did it take you to instal it
Thanks
Thanks sir
is it possible to replace clutch without taking transmission completely out?
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! 😎💪
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
