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

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.

4 years later and this video still hits. LOVE YOU CHRIS. You inspire me to be a mechanic when I get older

Just wanted to share that because of you Chris I was able to do this job on my 01 Silverado. I’m no mechanic by a long shot but you put it in a manner that is understood. Huge thanks for these videos and the amount of organization that goes into them. Keep doing what you’re doing sir!!

You have been the biggest inspiration for me to become a mechanic when i can get a job. Every video you make makes fixing cars look so easy and by following every step of yours it actually is. When i help my dad fix his car when there is something wrong with it, then I will bring out the knowledge what you have given me. My dad was pretty impressed when i found the problem. I am really grateful for your videos and you truly deserve way more subscribers than you actually have.

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...

been keeping bread in my toolbox ever since i found this tip. i don’t use it much but it’s developed this nice, blue and fluffy patina.

I love how you take a scary and intimidating job, and turn it into a super simple process that's not daunting at all. I've rebuilt my suspension, engine, transmission, new clutch, rebuilt my diff, etc. All cause of you. My car is track ready BECAUSE OF YOU. Thank you Chris❤

Thank you so so SOOO much for this!! I’m learning automatic technology right now and my instructor already shows us your videos but I’ve been having issues with my 2000 Mustang V6 for years, most recently issues with having to replace my clutch. Your videos are so fool-proof, easy to follow along and help give me the confidence to take the proper care of my own car. Thanks again Chris!

I'm not a gear head but this was the best instructional presentation I've ever seen. I deliver technical training in an unrelated field. The planning, the script/ copy, the lighting, camera angles and quality, tips and tricks and your delivery were simply outstanding. You've given me some ideas for my own training presentations. Thank you!

Chris is so detailed I feel like a pro mechanic even though I've never fixed any cars before
-
While my clutch is a little different and my transmission way smaller, this definitely gave me some useful tips for replacing my clutch! Just got done putting it all back together
-
When you buy 2 pilot bearings.. just so you can show the viewers both extraction methods. We love you Chris. 👍🏽😎
-
The amount of effort you put in and how in depth your videos are is mind blowing. Greatly appreciate you and your videos
-
The way you set up your videos and take the viewer through all the steps is extraordinary. Thank you.
-
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.
-
My car isn't even broken, but after watching your videos it makes me want to go out there and take things apart since you are so in-depth and great at explaining things I could never understand. You are literally the best car DIY fixer on youtube by far!
-
I actually have to replace my clutch in my 05 suzuki grand Vitara, so this vid hits home, thanks chrisfix😬
-
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!
-
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos man, keep it up!
