How To REMOVE GEAR BOX. Step by Step. TOYOTA Echo, Yaris. Transmission SWAP. EP. #1

[@GraemeRobinson]

I've watched this video many times alread and today I started my clutch replacement. Thankyou so much for sharing this.

[@carsonmcginness3652]

Sir, this is the finest explanation of everything to be done to remove the transmission. Completely informative step by step video that misses nothing. It absolutely made removing my transmission seamless. A thousand (and more) thank yous for making this task simple. Please continue to make more great videos for major Echo repairs.

[@PistonShack]

Thanks Carson! I am so happy if it helped you out to get your Toyota back on a road not get to the scrap yard. If you have any questions plz, let me know. BZW, thanks for subscribing and watching. Cheers Brotha!

[@518Regulators]

Thanks for the video. Going to be doing a clutch project this weekend with my daughter on her Echo. Hopefully it goes at least half as smooth as your video. Should make for a fun father-daughter wrenching project.

[@PistonShack]

Hi Nick! That's awesome to hear) So glad to help you guys. I hope vid will become handy. Plz let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers)

[@glezzzz]

How did it go?

[@518Regulators]

Grant Leslie went good. Had to adjust fire a little for having power steering so the lines had to be disconnected before dropping the subframe. Also my subframe (2000) didn’t have the long trailing bars as pictured in the video. So it runs great now. And we just finished replacing the shocks on all four corners so it rides great too.

[@wittywilf]

An excellent video. The only one I've seen that didn't have access to equipment a diy mechanic wont have, such as a car lift.

[@PistonShack]

My pleasure Brotha! I am glad it helped you out. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

[@stevelambert6689]

A brilliant video. My daughter in-law is having gear box trouble with a Yaris. I've done a few clutches on rear wheel drive cars over the year's, basically you can do them sleep walking. To save my son a bit of money thought we might have a go at this on her car. I haven't done this for year's, might give it a go. 🤔

[@chrislloyd0830]

What a life saver, could not have done this without him.

[@PistonShack]

Hi Chris! So glad to know it helped you out) Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers)

[@turblown]

OMG this video should be called "the hardest longest way to take out a manual transmission in a Toyota echo".

[@PistonShack]

Haha, pretty much! If you do it right there's no short cuts.

[@turblown]

@@PistonShack Are the 2007 Toyota Yaris different than this because it was the first fwd clutch I ever did on Sunday Nov 3 '19 and I didn't have to do any of the things done in this video 😂. I didn't have to drop the subframe , did not take out the radiator or cut the swaybar endlinks. I'm so glad I watched this video after I actually did mine. Would have totally screwed myself LoL. Took me 7 hours only because I tried to buy a pilot bearing (learned these cars don't use one) and then I couldn't figure out how to get the dowel pins out of the flywheel so I tried to buy those too (nobody had) then my friend told me the Visegrip and 2 prybars method , pins were out in seconds. Probably could do it in less than 4 hours easy... Cool video tho 😎 maybe Echo different or you need to kill the person who gave you those instructions 😂.

[@PistonShack]

@@turblown Yeah, that was challenging learning process you went through. Well, up to 2005 models you need to drop the sub-frame to get gearbox out. There's no other way around. I tried to minimize amount of parts taken off. I done gear boxes and clutch before on different vehicles, but this project took me around 15 HRS to get everything done. I am glad this vid helped you out with your repair. BZW, thanks or sharing your experience ) Cheers!

[@gmcg97ftw79]

Ive replaced 4 gearboxes on my yaris its a 1.0 1szfe, gearbox oil out then shafts next do the gearcables, and unnolt any ancillaries on the gearbox such as the slave cyldiner and cylinder pipe retainer, jack on the engine to take the weight back mount undine aswell as starter then do the top bell housing bolts leave 2 in the bottom take the gearbox mount off at the front let the jack down an inch then take bottom bell housing bolts out shimmy shimmy out to fuck lol

[@joeidaho5938]

With this Echo, you have to take down the sub-frame. The part absolutely not necessary is taking out the radiator, rad support, idle air control, throttle body, hood latch and so on. You also don't have to take out the sway bar. You can leave it in, attached to the tie rod ends, and just unfasten the swaybar bushing brackets from the sub-frame. Also, on the transmission mount at the right front, all you need to do is remove the 3 bolts into the transmission. The rest can be left in place. Watch Uncle Tinman's video on the same subject....and he does a much more efficient job at replacing the clutch on this car.

[@DamionStLouis]

Thanks for posting this! I just finished doing the clutch on an 2001 Echo. The video was a huge help.

[@g.t.539]

Good detailed video mate. Is this is a 1.4 engine? I'm surprised of the amount of work for a clutch change in this relatively simple car. You've disassembled almost everything in the engine bay. Never seen a radiator has to be removed for changing the clutch.

[@PistonShack]

No mine is 1.6L engine. I think 1.4L should be pretty much the same.

[@Ganzzo309]

How long did this take you?

[@alinutzalin6346]

I really like these Yaris's oil filter placement. Most of other cars have them placed horizontally, which is a bother to change...

[@PistonShack]

Indeed, way better filter orientation!

[@tyronegabalebogwe5778]

Hi. My 1sz manual gearbox doesn't have a base plate so it makes a sound when releasing clutch. Can you show me the base plate? Black in color

Hey brotha! What's a base plate? Did you mean flywheel or pressure plate? I don't understand your question.

[@tompurnell0601]

Hi i have a toyota yaris too but its the t sport with 1nzfe engine, im struggling on removing the subframe as there power steering fluid cables attached to it

[@PistonShack]

Hey, Tom. There's two ways to go: 1) leave power steering hoses hooked up and undo the steering ruck from the sub-frame. Check the video: VW Golf MK3 gearbox removal - you can do exactly the same on Toyota; 2) flush power steering fluid and disconnect return and pressure lines from the rack. Let me know what worked for you or if you have any questions. Cheers!

[@martindanielhofstee151]

Pistonshack. Hello. Thank you for sharing the videos. It's very helpful. I have a question concerning my Toyota aygo 2006 double gear box.(manual/automat) there is a beeping sound coming from the dashboard. Been told that it is my double gear clutch box. Very annoying beep sound. Could you help? Thanks

[@PistonShack]

You're very welcome Martin! What kinda beeping sound is that? I don't understand. It could be number of things. Can you record the sound and send me the link to your KZbin) Thanks.

[@antoniosilveira3660]

That’s a ton of work I got the same car , hope I never need to do that

[@PistonShack]

Hey Antonio, that was tons of work) If you will need to do the clutch on your Toyota let me know if you have any questions! Cheers!

[@ewcm1878]

The 1NZFE Yaris automatic is easy to maintain long term. Just drain and replace fluid if the environment is not too dirty or the vehicle wasn't abused.

[@PistonShack]

Yeah, interesting point! You don't have to change clutch every 100-150K that's for sure.

[@netovillegas8002]

Hello iv took lots of parts off my yaris an nearly ready to lift the engine out. Can you give me any advice to dissconwct the fuel line please ? I moved the nlack pladtic housing off but i dont know to to dosconnect the line itsel ?

[@PistonShack]

Hi Jack! Are talking about fuel tube connector (quick type)? There's few steps: 1. Remove the fuel pipe clamp. 2. Check if there is any dirt like mud on the pipe and around the connector before disconnecting them and clean the dirt away. 3. When the connector and the pipe are stuck, pinch the retainer between the hands, push and pull the connector to free to disconnect and pull it out. Okay, for the metallic type of connector you need to get one of this tools: OTC 6509 Fuel Line Disconnect Tool or similar type. Cheers!

[@jackjonson2696]

Hello mate i have now brought an engine crane to take out the enginr on my yaris. But found that the emgne doesn't have any lift hooks. Any ideas what i can do ??

[@PistonShack]

Hi Jack, There's two ways to do it: 1) install engine hangers, what Toyota recommends,one at the front above the alternator, second one at the back of the engine near to 4th cylinder - I don't have them, it means it won't work for me; 2) get strap hooked up how I did on the video to support the engine at the back near the bell housing; second one run at the front of the engine. Kinda like that. Let me know what you figured out or if you have any questions. Stay warm!

Very nice video...I wish you could show the new clutch installation and re-install gear box with motor in one video. Also did you adjust the throttle position sensor when putting back the throttle and how you adjusted? I guess your Iddle air control valve was good as well?

[@PistonShack]

No, issues with idler air control ever since. Do you have any problems with cold or warm idle?

Hello mate i really dont like to keep bothering you. But i look on ebay an the chery pickers are afew hundred pounds. After i took the engine out of car, i was going to take it apart an rebuild it anyway, so would it make much difference , if i just take apart an remive it from the car, instead if buying a cherry picker ??

Hi, Jack. No worries. You're welcome!You can use almost any type of lift but to match engine and transmission could be challenging. I thin you can get it done. Yeah, let me know how your progress is going. Cheers!

Hi, Jack! Yaris has three engine/transmission mounts. One behind, one on the gear box side at the front and one front of the engine. You might need to remove crankshaft pulley to get enough room to pull the engine out. Cheers!

[@PistonShack]

Hello Halide, Thanks for sharing your situation. Also, to separate O2 problem from the lean condition check if your Short fuel trim showing ECU adding extra +30% fuel to correct value. Add propane to the intake right after the air filter to see if your sensor responding to the extra fuel added. If your voltage went up to 1000mV sensor is responding but you don't have respond at your O2 sensor (shows 0) this is not lean condition. We have a bad sensor. It could be wiring problem down to the sensor, check signal wire for shorts to the ground will pull signal down. Bad ground on sensor will run voltage up. Replace sensor always with factory made one. Cheers brotha!

I guess you would need to do all that and much more to remove a manual transmission and replace with an auto transmission? Used parts would be cheap but unless you do it yourself it would cost a bundle I think.

[@PistonShack]

Hi Kamal! Have you change your clutch without dropping subframe? Interesting point, it probably depends what engine do you have under the hood. There's literally no room to remove pressure plate and change release bearing. Thanks for you feedback. Bzw, make short video how did you do it.

[@kamalhussein80]

Plenty of room. U almost disassembled every part

[@joeidaho5938]

Agree with you. The radiator, rad support and hood latch, throttle body definitely did not need to be removed. It's easy to work from under vehicle, once on jack stands. The sub frame removal might be necessary. The rest is a waste of time and energy. Also, not necessary to remove tie rod ends or swaybar. The cv axle comes out simply from removing strut bolts and wheel hub bolt. This repair likely took way too long than was necessary. The bushings on the sway bar ends can be reused, if not cut. Not bad to replace them, but there is really no need to cut them. They can be removed easily without cutting them.
