changing a hinge clutch brake TT538

In this video I show how to replace a hinge clutch brake on an Eaton 8LL transmission. I attribute my successes to god and give him the glory.

[@OriginalCoalRollers]

Sitting next to my tool Box now with a clutch break in one hand and phone in the other learning how to install it lol, this is new to me, I just put a transmission in this truck, new clutch and resurfaced the flywheel, now it all need to go back together

[@johntorres6726]

Thanks for the video, It did help me understand how remove and install the clutch brake.

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

No problem. Thank you for watching.

Im under my truck right now typing this😂 Thank You!

*That part at **5:45** was great. The whole video was informative but that part at the end really showed the operation of the clutch brake in way that transcends words. Thank you!*

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

No problem glad you liked it. I thought it would be interesting to show how It worked. Thank you for watching I appreciate it.

Thanks buddy

Great video

You ever hear a rattle from the 1 piece torque limiting clutch break?

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

Not that I’m aware of.

[@dulian08]

You have a big play in your input shaft pilot barring maybe that’s why your going through them so much .. My best guess is that your pilot barring is bad and is causing play in your input shaft . By now your input shaft neck barring is worn out causing it to flop around .

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

This is actually the truck from my flywheel housing replacement video. The pilot bearing was good the problem was the driver was pushing the clutch all the way and engaging the clutch brake while still moving. Its been fine since I asked him about it. It’s understandable when plowing you get in a hurry plowing intersections and it’s a lot of back and forth while dodging traffic. I appreciate your help though. I’ll keep that in mind if it comes up again. Thank you

What are the symptoms of a bad clutch brake?

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

It won’t stop the transmission so you can put the vehicle in first or reverse without grinding the gears. If the clutch brake doesn’t work the transmission input will keep spinning and from a stopped position it will grind going into gear. If you can spin the clutch brake disk on the input shaft then it is bad.

[@jasonlightbearer335]

Thanks for the quickest reply ever dude . Yea my truck gives issues with going into gear when trucks been running for a while . I’ve changed everything and nothing

[@vontaetownsend2858]

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic how do you know the difference from a bad clutch brake and needing a adjustment

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

The clutch brake should not spin on the input shaft if it does it’s bad and not an adjustment issue. If it doesn’t spin on the shaft then with the clutch depressed fully you should be able to put a .010 feeler gauge between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing and it should get pinched between them and be held in there when you depress the clutch. If it doesn’t then the throw out bearing isn’t traveling far enough and needs to be adjusted.

@@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic my mechanic is telling me i need a new clutch but I haven’t had any problems with up until today

[@bob75819]

mine fits in loosely also

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

The quality of things these days is just not there anymore. It’s getting disappointing. Thank you for watching.

[@stevenrice5049]

Right on, didn’t know it was that simple. Thank you for the video

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

No problem. There are a few different styles. This is just one type.

[@marcvalliant8131]

Thanks for showing how it works at the very end. Wrapped my mind around the concept now.

[@dulian08]

Happened to me already that’s why I know about it . I couldn’t keep one one for 2 months. Good luck .

[@edwardgduran3957]

thanks for the video!!!

[@jesusayala2593]

Good job, thanks.

[@steventeran4213]

I got a peterbuilt with an 8LL. Do all 8LLs use that same clutch brake?

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

It depends on the input shaft size. Also there are a few different types so the one you have may be different but I believe they are interchangeable.

[@johnsonberry6750]

Whats the thickness of this clutch brake u just install ?

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

Im sorry I’m not sure the thickness and I don’t have an extra one to measure. The clutch being out of adjustment can be a reason the. Clutch brake doesn’t work also. With someone holding the clutch pedal down it should be able to hold a .010 shim between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing. I have a video on how to adjust a clutch and it goes over that.
