Clutch School All You Need to Know

[@rickrogers2649]

Old school trick to remove pilot bushing or sealed bearing- pump grease into the cavity behind the bushing then find a punch that fits close in the center of the bearing. A good rap with a hammer will pop the bearing out by the hydraulic pressure of the grease. It works. Really like the school type videos. Big fan of your channel.

[@johnobrien6052]

I use Irish spring bar soap, easier clean up AND it smells great😂

[@martindoyle766]

I liked the video I was interested about the oil leak and the seals I lot of stupid people would have missed the oil leak or ignored it and just fitted the new clutch which would have been a rubbish job nice job top man 👍🤔💯

[@alphathefirstone1222]

This is the best video I have ever seen on how to installed a manual transmission.. I didnt know the clutch fingers had to be adjust on the pressure plate. i did not do that and now my truck will not engage the engine .will not go over 20 mph. (ls swap to sm465 k5 blazer on 40 swampers).. motivated to tear it apart and make the adjustment..,,great video .Trade school level for sure...

[@johnwar4586]

Very good and clearly explained information for those of us that didn’t quite understand how the clutch works. Thank you

[@jackschiveley7684]

GREAT job explaining the process. I am teaching myself to do all the work on my car. I have read sooo much and practically read the entire Book on my car. However because I’m not a machanic, diagnosing things is tricky… this was a perfect video explaining exactly what my car is doing and how to fix it. Along with some extra tips. So thanks I will definitely be watching this as I tear into my car this week. With me luck!!

[@ItsMe-fg2jn]

Finaly a video that has good explanation in everyday language, thanks, great work.

[@patriciawilson4192]

Awesome job Brian! I love watching your videos. One of my favorite channels. We have learned so much from these.

[@zozo71zozo71]

thanks very much

[@NebukedNezzer]

when I sold my 71 blazer the original clutch had 173k miles on it and was still working great. proper driving makes a big difference to clutch life.

[@beechwood619]

Good Job the way you explained how a clutch functions, even a rookie would understand.

[@nowthenad3286]

THIS IS A BRILLIANT VIDEO - great camera work, great explanations. It was superb how you identified problems and showed their physical causes.

[@MrYazzi2009]

Trafic goes in all 6 gears with no engine running but can't get any gears when it is running ???why

[@xracerx115]

The way you explained everything and allowed us to try figure out what was wrong made perfect sense. Great job man love your videos.

[@CookieDoughBoy]

Didn't learn anything about clutches while getting my degree, you did a great job of filling that gap. Great work man.

[@DreamingAboutDreams]

Best video I’ve seen on clutch install, helped me diagnose where I went wrong fitting my last one

[@robertoswalt319]

Great video and format Brian. I feel these are helpful even for the customer so that they can see what is being replaced as well as why. In the IT industry we refer to it as setting expectations. Keep up the good work.

[@MsMrhawk]

Love these kind of videos...excellent insight to us wanna be mechanics!

[@NvrGiveIn]

Outstanding video!! Thank you for your expertise, and a MAJOR shoutout for also taking the time to film it!

[@briansmobile1]

Thank you very much!

[@habibali3106]

VERY FASCINATING AND INFORMATIVE...HAVE MAZDA2 2010 1.3....CLUTCH SLIPS 2/ 3 GEAR. IF U GIVE EXTRA GAS...I KEEP GAS PEDAL LIGHT. ..STILL DRIVEABLE..SEEMS OK WHEN ENGINE IS COLD...DONE 106 000 MILES...COST SEEMS TO BE OVER £400. ..I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO...from Glasgow..

[@williamcrowe1591]

Hi Brian. I have done a lot of work on cars. It is so nice to have videos. I really like your format and the way you explain everything about how to do things and why. On my clutch job the clutch fork pivot busted out of the bell housing, or I had the wrong fork.

[@GG-xo1zr]

Thank you. Great lesson. Helps to understand what's happening and moving.

[@lebronjordan802]

Great job and thanks for sharing 👍!

[@haroldlm64]

Good job, Brian. I have a 91 Celica. I've had to replace the twice. Mostly because some people don't know how to shift. It can be a simple job.

[@miriamvivo4279]

234,000 miles wpw. Excellent video. Good to know. Much appreciated.

[@ollyjoeperry]

Thank you, it was a brilliant tuition going through the workings of a clutch step by step. It explains the noise I'm getting from the release bearing of my LDV sherpa camper. Cheers Mike 😎👍

great video 👍 quick question! i have a problem with my clutch, its makes a tinny mild rattle when car is idle with engine on, but the sound dissapears when clutch pedal is pressed, i was thinking it to be the throwout bearing?... what do you think??

[@jorgehetnandez1696]

Excellent video. I learned so much. Thank you ..

[@Avatheskibidiaplphadog]

Best sum up of a clutch I've heard.

[@SE45CX]

Wow, what an great lesson on clutches and seal installation. I don't know if you ever did a video on crankshaft pulleys/harmonic balances. I recently learned that they're not just for driving alternators, power steering and what not, but also act an a balancing part for the crankshaft itself.

[@gorankekich]

Bro you are the man. Thank you for your video. By far you and scotty Gilmore are the best. Truly appreciate you and your time to teach me. Thank you

[@technocrawln4796]

Awesome !!! It's not that hard I guess I'll can do that too , thank you for inspiring me and for tips

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Will!

[@NebukedNezzer]

love all your videos.

[@bdrichardson403]

Easy pilot bushing or bearing removal...fill the cavity with grease, place a spline or dowel just into the center hole, hit it with a hammer once or twice. Hydraulic pressure pushes the bearing/bushing out. Great vid, as always :-) Ben the knife sharpener guy.

[@Daniel-zr9xq]

Thank you Brian- that was amazing well explained clear enough and easy to follow a long you're too good,cheers for sharing.

Great video, what is the pros and cons if installing a light weight flywheel?

[@briansmobile1]

Pros, less weight of the car and faster engine rev up. Cons, easier to stall the engine.

[@miguelmendez4718]

briansmobile1 thanks for the input

[@robby103165]

Thank you for the information. Keep up the good work.

[@theadventuresofjavier8698]

Interesting find. On my old Hyundai accent i would lose clutch function at high revs.it wouldn't go into gear unless i idled the engine (sucked big time getting on the freeway)the pressure plate fingers were damaged. I have 160k miles on the replacement clutch and its still going strong at 290k.

[@drpiv]

As good a video as i have seen. Excellent.

[@clarencebrooks646]

I like your video on clutches. Good stuff!! Please consider doing one on the practice of "double clutching" in either down shifting or upshifting" . I tend to double clutch whenever shifting my 5 speed Toyota Tundra. Am I shortening the lift of the clutch by doing this? Thanks

[@SmudgyContent]

Yes basically... also revmatching down shifting should be avoided... 07 Dakota original clutch still and I'm just hitting 191k miles this is with alot of city driving county driving... I tend to skip gears in the open zone but in city I really cant... also pick a good low gear for slow driving dont lug the motor it builds oil pressure isnt good to be in a higher gear and try to accelerate... no point in double clutching unless you're driving an 18wheelher that's beat to hell and kinda have to.

[@Milkmans_Son]

@@SmudgyContent Well what is wrong with rev matching, professor?

[@SmudgyContent]

Milk revmatching causes strain on a transmission I'd add the research but it wont let me paste it.

[@Milkmans_Son]

@@SmudgyContent It probably won't let you paste because there is such an overwhelming amount of it, I'm sure.

[@tdlaustralia7791]

My wife always drives in the city and she uses her clutch a lot. In spite of that when I changed her clutch the mechanism was still good and only the clutch was worn out. Her clutch has a hydraulic activation on a Mercedes w203.

[@AndyOtt]

Well done! Very informative!

[@MarkWerner-Gillum]

Good video. I learned a lot. Going to do my 01 Toyota Celina gts as soon as it comes in the mail. What were you riding g at the end. It looked as if you were flying. 8i just hit a mid life crisis and for whatever reason I’ve become obsessed with wanting to fly. I looked up hang gliding which looks like a huge learning curve. I want T O fly with the least time and effort possible.

[@jamiebrown9590]

Love this video man. Seriously film more. I have a question though , I have 2005 Chevy Colorado 2.8 4 cylinder with 5 speed manual transmission. It won't go into any gear while it is running. But when the engine is off it will g o in every gear and you don't even have to push the clutch in. I figure uts most defiantly a clutch issue so I have already ordered the parts. I seen this video after I ordered them but am I correct in it being the clutch or is the transmission in jeopardy of being bad as well?

[@nicknarcowich5040]

This was nice Thanks

[@samtsotetsi537]

Hi Brian I've got a Isuzu kB 350 LX and have a problem with clutch, it doesn't take gears when engine is running. I've managed to take out the pressure plate, clutch and flywheel for recon and skimming. I want to assemble it back. Called about 3 mechanics and they failed. Now I've decided to DIY following your video. It's a pulling clutch towards the transmission when engaged

[@TheWwbartman354]

Thanks again!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great bonus footage

[@anthonygaunt8974]

Smart analysis 👍

[@bicycle697]

Always informative and useful Brian. Thanks much! I recently bought a 2001 911 Carrera. I had the IMS bearing replaced and the mechanic showed me that the clutch was at about 50% left. I opted to saving $1000 and keeping the clutch. The car had 21k miles. I'm fairly easy on clutches. Did I make the right decision to keep the existing clutch?

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Rob. Only time will tell, but I would be tempted to keep if it was my car and I was driving it too.

[@stephenmras8519]

2005 Honda Accord. Lot of noise from clutch which disappears when clutch is depressed. I assume throw out bearing, which was dry, but spinning freely. Replaced engine seal, flywheel, clutch assembly and thrown out bearing. 157K miles and clutch disc was almost worn to the rivets.

[@Jordan-ym5gf]

Roll head pry bars are the best for seals. Sometimes it's easiest to use a roll head against a regular pry bar when the seal or opening is that much bigger than the roll head pry bar.
