Thanks for the video, hello from Ukraine!

[@Fred-tz1ox]

Great explanation step by step, thank you so much, please continue the great work, these videos are really helpful. I have a Toyota FJ Cruiser 2014 and the engine is starting to sound like a cricket, and when I depress the clutch pedal, the noise is gone.

[@mateuszskorupski2887]

My FJ has the same problem and I was told that its a bad throw-out baring. I hope that helps you

[@cowboyceo1]

Thank you for this excellent video! It was clutch for my clutch install! I did a few things different. (Removed center console, left bother towers alone. Had both shift arms out in minutes).

[@jacksonxiong1161]

Thank you very much for your excellent video and sharing your knowledge. This is really helpful for me to changed my 07 fj cruiser. 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 🌟 for your videos...

[@noahcooke01]

its no wonder why my dad is a master tech. he and I have done this job 2 times now on my 07 cruiser both times never dropping the transmission. hell yeah

[@MrRazcob]

Thanks, for this detailed video and included torque specifications. This will serve as a reference for anyone interested in replacing their clutch.

[@fishonnelson2353]

Excellent Sir! I left the transmission shifter tower , only removing the knob since it will clear the shifter hole, unlike the 4x selector.. Also, I believe that I could have left the rear u-joint of the rear driveline connected. Thank you greatly again!!!

[@campeon266]

How long did it take you

[@one100billneoone4]

Awesome !!!

[@767dag]

Good vid

[@Kana0211]

My fj got a Clunk in driveline everytime I shift 3rd and 5th syncros gone while it takes great effort to shift into any other gear. Throwout bearing squeals and chirps louder than my phone on max volume. Jesus

[@hymtlali8720]

How did u install the 4x4 shifter tower . I tried and attached all the bolts it's fit perfectly but when I try to move the stick with out starting the car it doesn't move to shift position . Any tips in that

[@kboylas9127]

Question. Is there time the rodaj Clutch and flywheel?

[@callofdutyguy9]

Is that transfer case compatible with a 2nd gen Tacoma?

[@miguelmendez6656]

excellent!

2:41 RIP Bolt.

[@stephenowens3687]

I just had a new clutch fitted to my 2013 fj, and it is now noisier to drive than before. The noise seems to be coming up through the gears tick. No specific noise, just louder in general than it was. Any ideas?

[@ziengbe]

Thx for this video. Could you show the wire connections on the transfer case

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

+Bright Obasuyi Sorry, the best we have is already in the video. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@nnaves13]

how long did it take in total?

[@samjhoseph8089]

Hi guys , can use 4×4 clutch on my dodge fwd car ? It's same size and same oem number .

[@oldowl4290]

I have a 94 toyota pickup that is mostly a weekend warrior and not a daily driver. I want to make it more offroad / hauling capable so is installing a ceramic clutch with 1600lb load rating a good way to go?

[@jakestech28]

Jeff Chartier Yes, I have a 1200LB rated kit on my 85. If you are doing lots of heavy hauling, re-gear your differentials. These old Toyota transmissions don't last that long if used for towing stuff. Never do wide open throttle in 5th gear.

[@thomasrikala4421]

Curious why you applied threadlock to clutch cover bolts (13:30). Official Toyota Service Manual page CL-23 does not call for it.

[@thomasrikala4421]

Also specifically says not to apply grease to input shaft housing (11:30) page CL-24

[@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI]

Thanks for the effort, video and useful info :) It's a real pain in the @$$ I wonder how much this process cost at the dealership/random workshop (only hand work = parts not included) ? Here in Saudi Arabia : Non 4x4 manual transmission (without transfer case) : dealership = $350-$400 / random workshop = $200-$250 4x4 manual transmission (with transfer case) : dealership = $500-$600 / random workshop = $300-$350 Are we being ripped off or these prices are considered standard ? How much does it cost (where you live) if I may ask ?

[@turducken665]

Ahmad I had to get mine done this week and it’s about $1200.00

[@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI]

@@turducken665 Wow dude, that's lotsa Benjamins ! Well, I guess I ain't gonna complain no more if that's what really costs somewhere else :)

[@joisresolvendotudo5853]

eu troco disco de embreagem da minha l200 , tirando o motor, e é muito mais pratico.

[@4lexccs]

the truck does not use a bearing on the crankshaft? between the tip of the transmission and the engine?

[@MUHLMEDIA]

Did the loaner vehicle suffer from the infamous throw out bearing chirping?

[@JD-et2ph]

What does this do? I had my engine rebuild and clutch kit replaced and now is making this noise when releasing the clutch

[@dustinmoreno8657]

How much?!

[@nebulae87]

I was thinking of doing this myself and no way do I have the ability to do this here at home. :( bummer. I dont think i'd have enough clearance if i just had it jacked up.

[@muhammedmansoor5873]

What is extra benefit of ceramic clutch

[@767dag]

Heat

[@noorblooch9876]

I am changed all redy this ger opan and fiting this is very ezi just I am one parsnd changed this gera

[@hymtlali8720]

Noor Blooch how did u fix the 4x4 stick the one come on top of the gear with 4 bolds . After I fix it I try to move the stick but it's not cutching .

[@MrMundher44]

why is your fj so rusty .. mine is 2008 and almost rust free

[@lowrangeoffroad1]

We borrowed this one from a local used car dealer to use for instructions. Sadly, here in Utah a lot of vehicles look this way. They use a lot of salt on the reads in the winter and if the owners don't do an under car wash regularly they can really look bad in a hurry. I am glad your 08 looks so good. That is nearly ten years old. I am guessing you either wash regularly or you live in a mild climate or both. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MrMundher44]

lowrangeoffroad yes i live in the desert (MiddleEeast) the weather is very hot here almost 50 degrees Celsius .. also i want to thank you for this video its very detailed and easy to follow really appreciate it
