Cyberdrive Automotive - Instructional - 4.0 SOHC Mustang Clutch Replacement

[@RH0DI]

Very cool! When the driveshaft wouldn't come out my buddy dumped the clutch at 6100 with all of the bolts off!

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

Hah, now that sounds dangerous.. kinda dont want a driveshaft whipping around freely lol

I have a 2010 V6 4.0 replace the whole clutch system including the flywheel throw out bearing it still has trouble going in reverse and sometimes second I think I have air in the system it's all the way in the car so how can I bleed this system without having to pull it out the car? And then again 2010 v6 Mustang 4.0 ... the reservoir is in the master break cylinder. How do I bleed this system without tearing it back apart?

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

It's a self-bleeding system, you just have to pump the pedal a ton.. there's no actual way to bleed it other than that. If you're having trouble getting into reverse, you may have bad synchros or other issues internal in the transmission A bad clutch wont prevent you from going into reverse

Good thing i used to do this for a living because if not I would be lost as hell 😂. No hate but this video is confusing for your average Joe and will make you dizzy lol. It's good you are making this video for my Mustang, with a little more filming experience you will get better. Thank you for the info before I start my doing my clutch.

idk what year that mustang is or if it even matters but im changing a clutch in a 2007 4.0 I didn't have to remove any part exhaust. I did have to remove 2 lower exhaust o2 sensors.... I see that your flywheel bolt pattern is different then then the one i am doing, the flywheel im doing has 6 bolts like 2in apart with stud or a guide pin between the bolt holes and the auto part store can't even give me the right pressure plate they gave me a pressure plate similar to your flywheel.

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

Yeah mine is a 2007 as well. I'm unaware of the bolt patterns being different, call Exedy as they will be able to answer any questions like that and should be able to point you in the right direction. In retrospect the y-pipe probably didn't have to come out, but it was pretty trivial to remove so I didn't even bother giving it a 2nd thought.

Nice video I'm thinking of changing my clutch on my 4.0. I have problems shifting from 4th to 5th gear at over 65MPH there is a grind. But when shifting from 4th to 5th under 65MPH its ok.. all other gears shift perfect could it possibly be the clutch?

[@ThomasShelby-uq8cz]

I have the same issue in mine. It isn't the clutch it is the synchronizer. Switch from 4th to 5th slower until you can get it rebuilt and 80% of the time it won't grind. Mine has been doing it for a few years.

[@ThomasShelby-uq8cz]

@@CyberdriveAutomotive I just seen your comment. You are right but I would just ride it out until it doesn't work anymore and get it rebuilt. It cost me $500 if you take it out and put it in yourself but a junkyard transmission you never know what you are getting, it is a common issue with these mustang transmission's so you take a chance of the junkyard one doing the same to you.. also on mine if I'm racing and switch from 4th to 5th I make sure I shift really hard and fast and it will go into 5th.

[@jenwoolee3215]

Is that easy to install the pilot bearing?

[@jenwoolee3215]

I can only force it half way in.

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

might need to tap it in with a wood dowel, sorry didn't see this comment I know 3 months is a bit long to reply lol

[@LAAN1111]

hey what clutch did you used? i changed mine and feels so hard

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

Sorry for the 2 year late reply on this, I thought I answered your question but must have gotten distracted. All the parts I used were from Exedy

[@nbnknowledgecourse6568]

how did you get to the top left exhaust bolt on the header?

[@CrazyIvan1337]

Getting to the outlet flanges is sometimes a little awkward, more so on the V8, but a certain combination of socket extensions and u-joints or swivel sockets (DO NOT USE A 12-point SOCKET, ONLY USE A 6-point) will make your life a lot easier. Also, do not hesitate to use a crap ton of heat from a propane or MAP torch on the nuts/studs, especially if you live somewhere with snowy salty winters, otherwise you greatly risk snapping the studs in half, like what happened to us on the lower right one here.
