Sometimes when ur broke, u have to do things yourself and ur video helped me the whole way thx

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it helped

[@danzdoinz8000]

Thanks for taking the time to make this vid! I'm working on a 2000 S10 today! This is definitely going to help! Edit: I have the Chilton manual and for the 'pressure plate to flywheel bolts' it says the torque specs are as follows: For years 96' and later it's 33ft lbs for the four cylinder model and 29ft lbs for the V6! Not sure why it's less for the larger motor but that's what it says... This is in regards to the NV1500...

[@huachis]

Hola Hola, Im from México, Im a woman AND a love my pick up S10 2.2 2000 and a love make mechanics. Your video for me Is wonderful and i learn so much. (Sorry my English 😳😳😳) thanks AND please you make More videos. Adios amigo.😁😁👍

[@melindaortiz9741]

Good engines !!

[@jacqueharvey4496]

Glad your happy.😂q

[@huckcasto6120]

Just wanted to thank you. Your video is very detailed. Watched this 2 years ago when I helped my brother. Still running strong.

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

Great video it was a big help in replacing my clutch on my 98 4 cyl. Took me 12 hours total but i never pulled a trans before.

[@miker-s7219]

How long did this repair last you ?

[@jturner3030]

Gotta give a thanks for this video! I’ve got a 96 s10 so some things are a little different but this video helped me out a ton today, got clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and both the master and slave cylinder changed out. Ole work truck is happy again!

[@christianroubideaux8203]

LOVE THE VIDEO HE HELPED ME ALL THE WAY! personally I didn't have to remove the shaft I just disconnected it from the rear and slid it back. I only had to unbolt the 6 bolts that take off the catalytic converter. Maybe i was just being lazy. But I got it done in 1 day

[@Hunter-kz6os]

Definitely saved me with this video. Best one so far I have found that goes through absolutely the whole process. Disassembly and reassembly.

[@MichaelLewis-tf7he]

Video well done brother!! Thank you for saving me hours of unneeded throwing of the tools lol!!!

[@5beerplan100]

Super helpful video with all the bolt sizes and tips, thanks for the help.

[@mattstoker8375]

Thanks for the video Jabo! Was great information replacing the clutch/flywheel/pressure plate/slave cylinder on my GMC Sonoma. You're right definitely put the right bolt in first. I had a couple issues with the exhaust bolts on the exhaust header but learned how to heat up the bolts for easier removal. I'm not sure if this is for all applications but I learned you need to use synchromesh oil instead of regular gear oil. It was great information that you listed what size bolts and tools you needed. Just wanted to say Thank you and this video was a great help!

[@ModernBeastx1]

Hey I have a 98 s10 I've been researching like hell and cannot find the size of the flywheel bolts do you happen to know?

[@dhonnoll78]

One thing that helps and is pretty cheap is all thread or a longer headless bolt. Run them in 2 bolt holes use it to guide the transmission in and have something to rest it on while you work the transmission in. Once you get a couple of bolts in, back the headless bolts out or all thread and put the bolts in, in the all threads place.

[@ralphwatten2426]

I agree with this. I went one step further and cut screw driver slots in them so I could get at them, with the tranny in, with a screw driver.

[@christopherwest5840]

Good ideas. Thanks

[@lincolnblack1406]

Thank you so much, only knowledgeable video on KZbin. Greatly appreciate!!

[@KcGambino]

You're a good teacher bro, I appreciate the video. Still strugglin tho on my 03 sonoma, I have no experience.

[@KcGambino]

Do I absolutely need to take the exhaust off?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes you do. Thank you!

[@brt-jn7kg]

There isn't but one way to get that and that's to wade off into it. Most important thing is is that if you do not know what you're doing ask before you break something.

[@blockheadfxstc0428]

It is recommended to change all parts related, that means clutch, pressure plate, slave cyl/throw out bearing, Pilot bushing, FLYWHEEL and I personally ALWAYS change the Rear Main Seal on the rear of the engine because I have been burned before on those, had ONE that was dry and looked good and After it was all back together 10 Miles on the test drive it started puking engine oil! So I had to do the job TWICE and the second time was for free! Oh Yeah master cylinder too because the pressure from a new clutch will take them out

[@victorwesterlin82]

Thanks for sharing this information. It will help me understand the process…

[@jaybeezy8039]

This video is giving me the confidence to tackle myself

[@Wint3rshad3]

Thank you for this video my friend. Helped me out tremendously, much appreciated.

[@harlembrian3735]

I know it is kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?

[@arijohan3511]

@Harlem Brian try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@justusandre4158]

@Harlem Brian I watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)

[@michaelwayne7887]

Thank you for the video. Very thorough!

[@michaelwayne7887]

Thank you especially for the squeezing the boot thing up through the shifter hole to access the shifter bolts. Saved me ton a headache.

[@bobtoggle9796]

Good information, thank you!

[@donaji1971]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share your knowledge so far the best detail video I've seen in youtube about clutch replacement you are a life sever. keep it up thank you.

[@181green]

Thank you so much for the video!!

[@edwardjcoronado6368]

Nice brother God bless very helpful

[@thomasthorpe6095]

I have to change my clutch in my 97 s10 thank you. It’ll help I’m sure!

[@tommysanders2680]

Good video. Good to have people like you that take the time to help a DIY'er. I would use "this guy" a whole lot less. Use the correct piece or bolts name.....not "this guy". Good video and thank you for your time.

[@BUTGOD-j1x]

gREAT INFORMATIVE video. Thanks for makin it. However, if my shifter is hard to get in a gear as it is cold outside, but gets easier as it warms up, it that a clutch or a clutch cylinder problem.

[@lefato777]

Ordered the kit. Wish me luck.

[@williedavis3966]

Thanks you helped me alot

[@alafrosty]

I'm pretty sure that the flywheel should have three locating dowels in it. I didn't see them in the one you removed, so I imagine that they were stuck in the pressure plate that you removed. You should have transferred them to the new flywheel and then your new pressure plate would have lined up with those dowels.

[@tonyg3573]

Sound like a day care and auto shop in one. :)

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It sure is. Lol

[@mahdiisrael1528]

Awesome Video...... Simply Explained, Thanx 🙌🏿 However, On My 98' 2.2L The Freeze (Expansion) Plug That Sits Behind The Flywheel Is Blown..

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it was helpful

[@geffreygarcia6526]

You saved me 600$ thank you

[@hippificational]

Thanks Jabo for making it less of a pain in the butt

[@performancemiles]

Very good video. Great work!

[@jornellas6060]

Great job and great video. The only thing we are doing differently is replacing the flywheel bolts. I went and looked online and it stated that the bolts are torque-to-yield, meaning one and done. Again, thanks for the great video.

[@jeffwasser9716]

Great video! Thank you!!

[@cheporenteria2549]

Thanks

[@w.w.w.4239]

Big help! Done s10 clutch before. Started a job last October then it was too cold to work outside. So I needed a refresher.

[@Nesmaniac]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it helped

[@markharris4260]

Very good video , great job

[@roadiejay706]

What is the best method to get to the top bell housing bolts? Was told I may have to unbolt 4 body bolts and lift body and suspend it on a 4x4 block to make it easier.

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

I was able to get to those top bolts no problem by letting the trans drop down all the way then using an impact wrench with a swivel socket and bunch of extensions. U dont have to lift the body of anything. There is actually plenty of room

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Great video! 👍

[@birukzegeye2276]

have blazer 1996 changed the pressure pate, clutch and slave cylinder but till have a very stiff clutch??

[@jodygibson1365]

what where the torque spects used on the clutch parts

[@Chulo2303]

What’s the other seal on top of the rear main?

[@photondebuger45]

I just read on Mitchell gm even wants you to like if you have air still that can come out like in the master there to pump the clutch pedal as fast as you can for 30 seconds, i thought that was hysterical but something to note really.

[@josecostoya4316]

I’m missing the internal white bushing of the slave cylinder hose. I am unable to pull it out without cutting it? Any other methods??

[@xaviercb4491]

Did you change the pilot bearing as well? If so can you provide me with the part number

[@dannystubblefield5478]

thanks i needed to know how to undo the clutch line-

[@genedavis1807]

Is a 96have to be done like the one your doing now or what I got to do my 96ok

[@jesuscortes3651]

Eres el mejor

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Gracias mi amigo!

[@carlprestwood5874]

Can you tell me the bolt size for the two on the driver side ....are the standard or metric

[@dannyfrederick3515]

Hey, I was wondering how much torque I should apply to the fly wheel

[@itsSpecialSteve]

i have a 96 gmc sonoma 2.2 rwd manual sls. im getting ready to put my tranny back on but forgot where the long bolt goes.. i have 6 bell houseing to engine bolts. also how the ground wires go on . i found a nut that fit. can u go into detail where each bolt goes? thanks t yu19

[@sp1d3r420]

What would u charged for a clutch replacement..

[@tdav312]

“Smells like chocolate lollipops” 😂😂

[@Not_Loading]

Anyone know if the process for replacing a clutch on his 2003 is much different from a 1995 Sonoma? I'm gonna have to do a clutch in my truck and I don't have a ton of experience with this type of thing

[@jasonlanney9905]

i have a 96 and its similar

[@rickyricardo666]

I followed this video but I’m not able to shift into first gear even after bleeding the break fluid, any advice?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

3 things either you didn't connect the line or there is to much air. Are you closing the bleeder screw all the way. Are you using a plastic line to help you with the bleeding

[@tylerfrankel5374]

I have a 94 s10 which is advantageous because it's before they added a center console lol. Nothing to pull there.

[@carlprestwood5874]

I have a nv1500 missing two bolts on driver side

[@huckcasto6120]

How long did this job take? Great video by the way.

[@SmokeSome40]

Thank you so much! your fucking awesome man saved me!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it helped.

[@therandomreview6841]

Seen this dude driving his Tacoma in Oceanside a few times.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thats one of my customers cars!

[@anchorguy8497]

25 mins in what’s that part called?

[@donaji1971]

Hi do you know what is the torque for the flywheel bolts, I'm working an a 2003 chevy s10 4 cylinders which I think is the same engine you worked, thank you.

[@roberthollon7240]

I have same question

[@frankmcgovern9773]

Haynes repair manual says 55 ft lbs

[@johnnyturbo8460]

How long did it take you? Not counting your video time

[@jefferyknight9279]

Do you know if it's the same for a 93 4.3 s10?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It might be similar

[@ceciliakelly5053]

Are you anywhere near the coast in Virginia I got a 1998 GMC Sonoma I had a high performance clutch put in and then driving home from work the clutch dumped on me and bleeding doesn't do it but do not or do you know anyone in the Portsmouth Norfolk area that can help me cuz the mechanic won't own it even though I told him I'd be willing to pay him for any do-over and what was needed and I met a loss here I don't know anybody that I could trust any recommendations on any KZbin buddies that work on sonomas

[@Worst_Part]

What would cause really bad vibration after doing this job? Gets worse with each lower gear

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Did you resurface the flywheel

[@Worst_Part]

@@JaboTheMechanic a new one was supposed to had been installed. I’m thinking the guy did a sh*t job. He pinched the wires you said to look out for in this video. I got 3 or 4 other cars so my s10 sat for a couple of years while I chased that problem. I’m thinking he may have gotten grease or dirt on the flywheel. Would that cause it?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yeah that could have happened. But it sounds like it's chattering

[@junitorivera]

87Qleen the vibration comes from the drive shaft,, before is remove you got to put a mark on it and went you put it back you got to line it off with the mark the you put on the drive shaft at The beginning., I have same problem with my 03 S10 and that eliminated the vibration .

[@junitorivera]

Before removing the drive shaft put a line in each side with white paint and when you put the drive shaft back make sure the lines face each other, that will stop the vibration.

[@kevinfoster1138]

Damn it nooooo! I do recommend loctite but probably blue I don't feel like people should even have red in their toolbox if anyone tries to take that flywheel off again they're going to be pissed. Just my opinion remember red is forever.

[@pluralblard146]

No sir green is forever 😂😂😂

[@cliffordyawn2938]

I will just take the truck to a mechanic.lol

[@dropdoc4927]

Always , Always replace the pilot bearing. No matter if it looks good or not. It will go bad then all that work for a 15 dollar part.

[@schaubgarage1067]

What transmission is that

[@icrashucrash9585]

Nv3500 guessing

[@walterescobar2989]

NV 1500 transmission.

[@jeffrey4547]

try using grease not bread works way better

[@billmonroe8826]

Bread was a new one for me. lol Whatever works though.

[@Logan_Keith]

jeffrey hollenbeck using bread is just a little trick mechanics use with getting bushings out.

[@passion4vintage559]

Hi! Thank you so much for taking time to make all the videos for us. Please help me. Here is my issue. I just bought a 2003 GMC Sonoma SLS 6 cylinder Truck . The truck shakes/vibrates really bad once started. You can literally see the engine moving and shaking. It shakes throughout the drive and also appears to shake even more when at stopped light. Just yesterday afternoon, i was at a red light waiting to make a right turn onto the freeway. Once light turned green as i was pressing the gas and turning my steering reel it became hard to where i couldn’t turn it normally and literally suddenly just died on me. Thank goodness there was no other car making a right turn on the far left lane because when my truck steering reel became hard to turn the car went toward the left side. I tried few times to start car and it started and i went to the left turn trying to turn into the 7’eleven parking lot, right when i went onto the parking it died again. This time it took more times until car started again and this time when it felt as if the car is starting i gas it to help turn on. Then i drove just across to Oreilly and the worker scanned car and a code on his machine detected Cylinder 2 misfire. Purchased NEW: Spark plug wire set 6 spark plugs Replaced it on car. Still not resolved. Upon checking the MAF sensor was no good, the distributor has a line cracked on the number 2 . Went back to Oreilly: Purchased NEW * MAF Sensor *Distributor Cap & Rotor Replaced on car with those too. Again NOT Fix still showing code Cylinder 2 misfire. Issue present: 1.Shaking/vibration on car really bad and loud. 2. Check engine light comes on and off (flashing) I do not want to guess on what it is. Can someone please guide me on what to do next that can fix this. **At this moment writing this comment, i am in the car parked at Oreilly debating what to get. ***also when i moved wire on cylinder 2 to 4 and 4 to 2…it still show cylinder 2 misfire even after moving it to 4. Do i get Fuel filter?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Have you check compression. Also sounds like your injector is at fault

[@passion4vintage559]

@@JaboTheMechanic so this is the update before i saw your comment. Thought maybe fuel filter so i cleaned it by spraying with throttle bottle cleaner on fuel filter. Car still started and upon driving the check engine light came on flashing again and was still vibrating/shaking. ****i do not know why i did the next step But i removed the distributor and the shaft to check if i might have sprayed the throttle bottle cleaner on and maybe might messed that up***(and i just put it back) Now car will crank BUT DOES NOT START! Then upon doing research it appears that i might have mess up the distributor timing. I followed the instructions on the TDC and getting dial at 1 in the end. (Did that many time!) then check the pressure on cylinder 1 and there was compression. Now its showing code P0446 and crank but no start. Car still doesn’t start. FYI i am no mechanic i am just a girl trying to get the truck to work. Please help!

[@glensmithcpa1909]

Great video, helped a lot. One thing, try not to use pronouns when describing parts. For example, saying this or that part while pointing at this or that part. EVERY part has a NAME, SAY the parts NAME! If I go to the auto parts place, I can't tell the clerk I want this or that part! There was a "part" behind the flywheel inside of the rear main seal, you described with a pronoun. You concluded YOURS was OK and didn't need to be replaced. I had to figure out what part you were talking about. I hadn't completely removed my tranny at the time I watched your video, so I didn't know whether I'd have to replace my "that part" once I got my tranny out and took a look!

[@moisescantu7523]

Pinche Google wey.....if you ain't mechanical saby, well let someone else do it! Or Google it!

[@genedavis1807]

By the way my truck is a 4(3v6ok I don't think the one your doing is the same thing ok the book I got it shows other slave thing ok just need to know ok but it going to be truble I think
