Here we go again! 3RD Gen TACOMA throw-out bearing replacement!

[@runDATrun6]

For your sake, I hope nothing else goes wrong on the truck. For my sake, I hope you keep showing us all of the ins and outs of the Tacoma so I can learn more about mine haha. Love the content man

[@mikes4x4garage]

😂👍🏻 thank you!

[@JoeyMeyers]

I always work on my own vehicles and I almost considered taking my truck to a mechanic to get the clutch done but now I want to do it myself this video was very motivating

[@mikes4x4garage]

Glad I could motivate you! Just take your time and you’ll have it back together in no time

[@DH.Maker.Artist]

Man that pan flute song when you pull into the garage gave me some flash backs of a dark classroom with a TV getting roles in on a cart. Had me searching for where I had heard it from for a good part of an hour. Took me all the way back to the 90s, a bangin into to a BBC educational show "Eyewitness".

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yes! Super throw back!

[@snoshorts]

Third payment in on a used 2017 Tacoma...and my throwout bearing is starting to make the squeak...dammit.

[@ksypolt]

My auto shop teacher used to always say, whenever you are ANYWHERE near the throwout bearing (say when the engine is out) you should always replace it! What a PITA to replace. But then, you wouldn't have had such great content! 😅

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yeah, I guess I didn’t make it clear enough in the video but the throw out bearing was replaced 5,000 miles before this video along with the clutch and flywheel

[@CouchSlouch-]

Man, you need to make more content. I’ve watched this whole series and enjoyed it all.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Working on it!

[@AscendingBliss]

Dude, I freaking love your videos. They are so damn informative and entertaining!! Don't stop doin your thang!🤘🤘

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you Taylor!

[@Pajaroloco_Trips]

I love what you’ve done with the taco. Your an inspiration.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you 👍🏻😬

The music in the background is so diverse! Dope!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you, I listen to a little of everything.

[@sirreyvlogger5883]

you said you never done it before, but the way i watch seems to be you do it professionally with little goofiness but its all good in way like having beer while you working it..🤣🤣👍👍

[@d.r.807]

Watching his gives me terrible flashbacks. A friend of mine and I were hired to do a transmission swap on a Toyota Previa. We did the whole job without a transmission jack and that was the most awkward, annoying thing we ever did. We were only 18 and 19 and had limited tools. We decided never to undertake repairs without some semblance of proper tools and equipment. Keep up the great work!

[@jjcruz17]

got all the jams playing in the background and caught me off guard with atmosphere! rig lookin mint!!!

Love your videos, Mike. btw at 10:52 you'll notice you forget to tighten one of the exhaust bolts. Hope you got that and we just didn't see it on camera.

[@mikes4x4garage]

I got it! Camera tomfoolery!

It sucks that something keeps coming up but at the same time I love it cause you have the best content! Lol

[@leadpilled5567]

I love your stuff. Reminds me of me and my friends back in our 20s working on stuff. Now everyone has a wife and kids. This summer I was able to steal them for a couple weekends and we did a build on my f150. Kings 35s bumpers chase rack. I think I might of been having a midlife crisis but god it was fun to be wrenching together again

[@mikes4x4garage]

That’s awesome, luckily I have a few buddies around living that bachelor life for now!

[@tradeMark182]

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yessir!

[@youtubeguy345]

watching these videos makes me want to go and fix my tacoma up but nothing is wrong with it. 🤣

[@jrigs30]

Well done. Had my 2007 bearing replaced 3 times before just selling it to get a 2017 when I heard it again. Can’t believe now with 120,000 on my 2017 I am hearing that cricket noise once again😩😡. Hate to have to pay for this small part again.

[@van_dutch]

Great content, always excited to see something new pop up, perfect ending "let's go get a beer". I just put those Morimoto lights on my Tundra, fogs too, and they are spectacular.

[@mikes4x4garage]

They’re super bright!

[@Medallo2706]

Man I just binge watched the whole Taco journey and I'm just now seeing that you don't have as much subscribers as I taught originally! I hope that changes soon bro you are really entertaining to watch and I wish you luck with everything! 💪🏼

[@longrangelauber]

As always, you're providing great content. I hope you continue to grow here on KZbin!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you!

[@DeadBaron]

Same truck as yours, but only hearing squealing while in gear and only while moving with the clutch released. Not in neutral or when clutch depressed. Greased front u-joints, someone said it could be the sealed u-joints, but I really don't think so. Sounds clutch related

[@tymotoboy53]

Also, is that a 94 cr250? Very nice. I did a 2000 CR250 build for vital mx a few years back and I always love seeing old cr’s still being ran

[@williamtiernan1105]

I like how you tackle different projects than most Toyota related stuff. There’s so much pointless overpriced off road mod stuff out there so it’s cool to see this kind of content which can actually help and it’s fun to watch! Although the music is cool be careful for copyright protection. YT is strict on it. Better to just use non related royalty free stuff.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yeah it’s just what plays in the background and I haven’t had an issue yet, but you’re right it’s just a matter of time ⏰

[@BSTYTCO3]

I love the Tacoma content, you make everything look so easy! 😅

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you!

[@SweetT1013]

I’m sure you’re doing your best and have a regular job outside of KZbin but I’d love to see you upload more often

[@TheHuckHD]

Nice video. However I had to do this on my second gen and the issue isn’t really the bearing. Let me explain. URD sells a kit to repair the sleeve the throw out bearing rides on it just bolts over the old sleeve and they include an oversized throw out bearing . By just replacing the bearing I think after several months you might have the same issue . Maybe I missed the part if you felt that sleeve for any fine gruves . It eats those bearing for breakfest . Hence the repair sleeve.

[@Eugenvector]

Respect for this job in the garage 👍🏿😁

[@xeicv]

Truly inspiring, for real.

[@edgaroso1403]

That’s insane! My 2017 Tacoma is doing the same thing! Glad I found this lol. Gotta order that throw out bearing now

[@ryanfay1]

That’s an incredible video buddy! Happy wrenching.

[@isaiahcurran7826]

What you should do next is a vanagon syncro! (A vw van that that had a 4x4 option for in the late 80s) so fun!

[@mikes4x4garage]

I would even like a vw bug. Those things can be cool

[@jacksprrow]

i cant get enough of these videos!!!

[@christophertripp7922]

I've got the same issue with my truck. I haven't been able to justify spending that much time to get rid of a squeak though lol,

[@Patriot-tx3cf]

Great video. Mines starting to slip with 155k on stock clutch.

[@jremeee1599]

Man my vehicle is doing the exact opposite. Making a horrible squeaking grinding noise when I press the clutch. I thought it was the throw out bearing so I ordered a whole clutch kit with pilot and throw out bearings. Will be here tomorrow. Hope that fixes it

[@mikes4x4garage]

I’m sure it will, it just will take your time!

[@blkcoupequattro]

Just noticed no pilot bearing on this model ? I just did my clutch on my 2001 Tacoma 4x4 the pilot bearing took a shit, new clutch only had 50k on it, wondering if the previous owner forgot or decided to not change the pilot bearing for lack of a tool to do it? Fortunately was able to get the old pilot bearing out, but it could have been a real hassle if the bearing came apart, would have need to to put a weld on the bearing race to to shrink it so the race would drop, but all went well with blind hole puller. We are at 240k on our 3.4L with a brand new ASCO clutch ....!

[@absolute.freedom]

Pretty impressive my man!

[@TheJmich2001]

Excellent choice of beer, and truck...thx for sharing....NJ

[@BlueSharkRides]

That Eyewitness theme is SLAPPIN!

[@alabamafbfan1985]

I remember on my old first gen you can do everything right installing the new clutch and sometimes the dam throw out bearing still squeaked. I almost expected to see it squeak at the end of the video after everything.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yep. It’s annoying being that the bearing was brand new as well.

[@IsraelGonzalez-dt6hy]

I knew you can fixed it you been doing great job for this Taco! Salud for every beer !

[@mikes4x4garage]

Cheers!

[@johnathanrlindsay]

I've had this squeak too in my 5spd first gen and was searching forum after forum to find the culprit and I read nothing helpful. This video popped up on my recommended and I decided that I would watch it. I always assumed when you depressed the clutch and it made a squeak THEN it was the throw out bearing. I never would I have thought of it differently had I not watched this video.

[@tymotoboy53]

Damn dude you earned my subscription for this one. I gotta do the clutch on my trd offroad and you showed exactly how to do this perfectly like a professional tech would. Great job man. Did you torque the bell housing bolts though? 🙈😂

[@warsword2538]

Excellent work. You have done a great job with that tacoma!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you!!

Same thing happened with my Tacoma but I love these damn trucks! Nothing else will take you as far out into the mountains with 300,000+ Miles on the clocks! Will never sell my 2002

[@mikes4x4garage]

Indeed.

[@Rcfreak57]

My 21 is doing the same thing. What brand bearing did you go with and is it still holding up?

What’s up with the cr250 in the garage and car under the tarp in the driveway. Can we get a video?

Good to hear my friend!

[@JB50713]

Oh no! Did you forget to tighten that bolt on the first exhaust piece? Lol that is a ton of work for such a small repair.

[@mikes4x4garage]

I knew someone would say something! Yes I just cut it out of the video haha!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Good eye!

[@bonespur2728]

Ah yes, the throw out bearing squeak. It will most likely come back as the issue is wear on the aluminum shaft it rides on. Love the music🤣

Probably…

Bought it on Etsy 👍🏻

Thanks Jim! Usually I think people quote around $1500 for a job like this ? Plus parts

You going to keep the 3rd gen Tacoma or sell it to fund another project? Sticking with Tacomas, a first gen might be a cool project. They’re relatively affordable in my area even in decent shape. The ones that have been super well kept are expensive as hell. That being said, you can still make videos with this truck though!

How many miles on your 3rd gen? Strange your throw out bearing took a dump on you already. I have a 2012 TXPro 6speed still on the stock clutch at 135K. Actually debating on swapping in a 3rd gen 6speed because the 2nd gen trans is clunky as hell. I have deleted my clutch accumulator and which help a lot with shifting and getting rid of the vague clutch feel.
