installing a clutch in a 2005 2014 mustang easiest way possible

today on this guys garage we install a clutch pressure plate release bearing with slave cylinder in a 2005 mustang ,we give the best information possible without doing any extra work . this is a fairly hard repair and would rate it on a scale of three out of five on the difficulty meter but can be done with basic hand tools.

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Awesome job man. Those plastic lines are murder.

[@thisguysgarage]

They are I didn't even try to get it apart with the transmission in the way. Not exactly textbook lol

[@OnlineMechanicTips]

whoa, that looks like a huge fun job bud..Glad you got er done

[@thisguysgarage]

they be dirty jobs but someone has got to do it lol.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice job Shaun!! I changed the clutch in a Ranger and you sure nailed it when you said this was a tough job!!! Working with all that undercoating over everything doesn't help much either I bet!!! Thanks for sharing and take care!!!

[@thisguysgarage]

Exactly the same job Mike. The engine and transmission are shared with a ranger. That undercoating was miserable lol

Thanks for uploading this bud. I’m fixing to do this job here soon

[@MustangGuru]

I think you may want to fix the oil leaks while your at it, That car changes it’s own oil.

[@andyeckel7195]

It is a self-lubricating chassis

[@Zilxnce]

You guys Are using a lift. Would it work to if I used jackstands and ramps? Or it needs to be higher?

[@thisguysgarage]

i am using a mid rise lift about 40 inches of lift , can be done with a good set of jackstands 100%

[@BruceLyeg]

Those plastic lines give me nightmares. Good job!

[@thisguysgarage]

Me too , I would not even mess with it while the transmission was in.

[@PanzerPlatform]

Is this a different Blue Mustang from the one before? This one looked like it grew 2 cylinders. 10:48 Dash Cam -Chuck

[@thisguysgarage]

One in the same. My cousin is now the proud owner.

[@donaldblackson7811]

I look at your videos all the time I currently have a 2010 Mustang V6 4.0 5 speed I replaced the clutch in everything fly well everything problem is bleeding the system I didn't blanch breathe to throw out bearing how can I bleed it in the car the master cylinder for the brakes is also the reservoir for the clutch

[@thisguysgarage]

i did do a video on bleeding this particular system , pump the clutch 10 times walk away for an hour , pump clutch 10 more times ,repeat this method 3 or four times should be fully bled. let me know how you make out.

[@narc46]

Bench bleed the slave cylinder before you install it. Nevermind the clutch fix that oil leak.

[@thisguysgarage]

It's undercoating... The reservoir for the slave cylinder is combined with the brake master cylinder so there is that. KZbin has room for your video on the topic by the way... Have a good day 😊

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice video Shaun

[@thisguysgarage]

Thanks Antonio 👍

[@johnpettipas3763]

EXCELLENT. VIDEO. /. WELL. EXPLAINED. And. I. NOW. UNDERSTAND. Why. The. TRANSMISSION. Is. So. IMPORTANT. To. VEHICLE 🚗 S.

[@thisguysgarage]

Appreciate you John 🤜🤛

[@ricardoventura3036]

I replaced my clutch on my 2007 ford mustang gt and for some reason, the wrench light came out. It’s not accelerating the way it was before and it only goes up to 3500 rpms each shift.

[@apprananpil]

so you dont have to remove the driveshaft or exhaust?

[@thisguysgarage]

The driveshaft has to come out. Depending on your exhaust system maybe ye maybe no. You have to judge if you have the room to bring the transmission back 6 inches before you lower it. Great question 👍

[@serbia991]

Whys the exhaust have to come down? Looks look theres enough room with it on

[@Axel.3v]

Did you ever attempt it?

[@serbia991]

@dydydddydy8543 ya I did the exhaust has to come off it gives you so much more room you'll want it off

[@Axel.3v]

@@serbia991 gotcha, also do I have to drain my transmission oil?

[@serbia991]

@dydydddydy8543 ya you should to avoid a mess

[@aynjul]

can this job be done in a day

[@thisguysgarage]

If you are ambitious and have all the parts 👍

[@XxTR1CELLxX]

I replaced my clutch flywheel and tob in a 2009 mustang gt. I got everything together and it shifted like butter on jackstands. Soon as i put the car down still running it wouldn’t shift at all. Trapped air maybe? I have a firm pedal just wont disengage the clutch now. The car starts Moving going to first just wont go into gear

[@cadensunsdahl4837]

did you figure it out?

[@XxTR1CELLxX]

@@cadensunsdahl4837 yes i put a spacer in and it didnt need it. Some gt’s have a built in spacer

[@cadensunsdahl4837]

@@XxTR1CELLxX so the throw out bearing was constantly pressing on the clutch basically?

[@XxTR1CELLxX]

@@cadensunsdahl4837 no it would sit normally but on clutch press it would depress and go so far it would disengage

[@XxTR1CELLxX]

@@cadensunsdahl4837 so on clutch pedal the pressure plate would sit against clutch constantly

[@DiscyBoyo3000]

I'm about to get a 2010 mustang clutched changed out !!!

[@Axel.3v]

Do you have to drain the transmission fluid?

[@christianmagana98]

No you don’t it’s in the back

[@Axel.3v]

@@christianmagana98 so I don’t have to drain the trans fluid?

[@DomAZ]

Not an easy job. Well done👍

[@thisguysgarage]

Thanks so much Dom

[@its8bpm554]

Easy asf

[@georgebarrera9881]

What did you sand or scuff the flywheel with? Thanks

[@thisguysgarage]

i generally will use 120 to 180 but what ever you have hanging around will work

[@georgebarrera9881]

Thank you

[@smoke_oguwop]

​@@thisguysgaragedid you use a orbital sander

[@thisguysgarage]

@@smoke_oguwop I did

[@smoke_oguwop]

@@thisguysgarage appreciate it I'ma try this I gotta replace my clutch lol

[@espinoz4]

Does the same clutch kit fit to all 2005-2009 Mustangs 4.0?

[@thisguysgarage]

Yes

[@camerondeastv560]

When switching from the automatic to manual will I need a clutch kit

[@espinoz4]

@@camerondeastv560 yes. You'll need a new one, unless the one your swap kit has its still good. However I'd recommend you to get a new one for better results.

[@espinoz4]

@@thisguysgarage nope, I already Found out that the models from 2005 to december 2006 take an speciffic clutch kit while models from december 2006 to 2009 a different one. My mustang was made on 10/2006. The clutch kit a bought didnt fit so I had to get the exact one. Greetings.

[@Starseed313]

I think I’m better off hiring a mechanic

[@thisguysgarage]

You are not wrong 👍

[@4057hofft]

A lot of oil underneath the car

[@thisguysgarage]

undercoating👍 not very fun to work with lol

[@jorgevazquez890]

Their 8 bolts on the bell housing thank me later

[@chrisbrand714]

Ok so a few things here I'm curious about. Why was the exhaust not removed to give yourself and the transmission room to properly remove the slave cylinder line and transmission itself instead of cutting a $300.00 part?? The pilot bearing needed replaced as well but I guess you couldn't cut that from the back of the motor. Wouldn't it have been a good idea to bench bleed the replacement slave cylinder as well. Going by the dumpster fire you call a shop to work in says a lot about ones work ethics and professionalism. I found your video very amusing and recommend it to anyone for how NOT to do this very simple 8 hour job.

[@squash7751]

Hey Chris, I’ve got an 09’ I’m about to replace with a clutch kit. Do you have some references of better instructions/advice you could give?
