1999-2004 Mustang Clutch Replacement TR3650 Transmission

I started to sand down the mustang prep it for a bedliner paint job! Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp7PlI2vfdJ1erM

I’m a full time auto mechanic and own a 2002 GT I wrench on. I replaced my beat engine mounts and you have to remove starter for passenger side and even I struggled with that bolt. It’s a pita Good job Edit: don’t worry Ford techs all the time call that the “extra” starter bolt and many guys don’t put that bolt back in. You should if you can but if the other two are tight the starter is fine.

I was wondering what ya'll even were talking about! Well my "extra" bolt was missing. No wonder it was so easy 😂 It also was missing 2 bell housing bolts. Two more were barely finger tight, and the the other two were so over torqued my 450ftlb electric rattle gun wouldnt budge them. I got them out with a big ass air gun but I about rounded the heads off. But I had to order a new bolt kit anyway so no big deal. Good to know I probably don't need to worry about that starter bolt tho! This is exactly what the internet is for! 💯 Also for all the dumb people like me, you won't find a 6 sided socket that will remove your 12point drive shaft bolts without destroying them. Go buy yourself a 12 point socket or you'll be replacing those bolts as well! My git-er-done attitude often wastes both my time and my money haha😂 Ebay has all the bolts you will need cheap. Had to get used drive shaft bolts tho.

I know the bolt u talking bout when I tell u I almost beat the shop up 😂😂over that I was like why would y’all put it the there damn they y’all put the bolt to the transmission with the starter🍒🫠

[@aaronwilson4898]

I know this is 3 years ago but you need to invest in easy outs and a proper tap and die set. It will help in those bolt breaking situations. Good video

I’m 4yrs later, but still prayers for your grandmother. ❤

[@JayRee33]

I did my clutch in high school in a tech class where we had access to a lift and was still stuck on that bolt for 2-3 hours. If I recall correctly, I used a 3ft extension and multiple wobbly sockets.

[@Christopher_R]

I find that the best way to drive in a new bearing is to grind the outside of the old bearing down a little, and then use that as my driver. Grind it so it can’t get stuck in the hole it came out of, but that works better than a socket (for wheel bearings anyway)

[@jamesa6272]

Thanks for the video. I watched a Chris fix trans removal video he has. I have no idea how he was able to get a ratcheting wrench from behind the engine bay down to the top trans bolts. I can’t even get my hand in anywhere to even reach the bolts.

[@AutoMotivate]

Undo the lower trans mount, then snake it up there! It’s tight but possible! Wish you luck my friend!

[@jamesa6272]

@@AutoMotivate I think I might just get the extensions and lower it like you said.

[@jodog1360]

I looked up the torque specs on the transmission to bell housing bolts and the book I had specified 45-65 foot lbs... but I broke several bolts doing this, I'm not sure if my info is accurate, even 45 sounds extreme. May I ask where you got your specs from?

[@336wrenching3]

Why is the audio so far off from the video?!?

[@joecarrasco3381]

I'm glad you said something cause I thought it was my phone

[@chrishuckaby6184]

Mine is lined up perfect

[@brandontelleria2230]

Sorry for your loss 🙏🏼, hopefully making and editing videos helps you get through it easier. Keep up the good word 👌🏼.

[@AutoMotivate]

Its alright man. Thank you. Making videos definitively helps keep things off of my mind

[@reneewillocks6716]

I know all about that 3rd Bolt, it's a M EFFER... But, with a quarter inch ratchet and a 13mm socket, it will come out.

[@AutoMotivate]

Man, that bolt was by far the worst. You forgot about patience... you need patience 😂

[@vicb5962]

Lmao yes I’m glad we can all relate on that

[@BullettGuy]

Very sorry for your loss. I have a question. Did you use 3 ton (17 in Height) or 6 ton jack stands (23 in height) to slide the transmission out?

[@AutoMotivate]

Sooooo sorry for the late reply. And thank you for your condolences. I used 3tom jacks from harbor freight. I since then changed to 6 ton jack stands from Amazon due to the crap quality the harbor freight jack stands were.

[@BullettGuy]

No problem with the late response. Looking to having the 3650 redone. In the meantime change the clutch. Thanks

[@lil_goob_sadboii969]

Thanks man 🙏🏻

[@Super-qv2lf]

Good job bro 💪🏼

[@AutoMotivate]

I appreciate it! It was a lot of work

[@bluudlung]

is all of your equipment brand new or rarely used? looks like you just took that jack and stands out of the box

[@AutoMotivate]

I take care of my stuff.

[@nicholasbutsch4857]

Please sync the audio and video.

[@ulisesc4388]

That’s interesting too much fluid mine came out of gear like that and thought synchros but never grinded thanks

[@mickeygaines302]

Sorry about your loss bro, just continue to stay positive. And also the word "abot" is spelled ABOUT lol.... but u good I,m just kidding around. Awesome video though.

[@AutoMotivate]

I noticed that too 😂 I appreciate your condolences. Thank you. I hope you are doing well

[@i_amthespeedhunter]

The pivot ball, he was tightening lmaooo

[@AutoMotivate]

I was replacing it and installed a new one, so yes.

[@calebbrady7792]

You need some safety glasses ;)

[@AutoMotivate]

That’s probably a good deal 😂 they get dirty and fogged up so easy!

[@TheJosephayal]

i replace my clutch with no help... what a pita

[@AutoMotivate]

I applaud you. I needed a hand a few times.

[@blaness13]

yea what god did you pray to that let you pull that off.
