Jeep Wrangler Clutch: How to install new clutch

[@shanerr857]

I'm doing my YJ and your videos really help, thanks

[@dougharlow6037]

Dale, Just a word of caution, always test fit the pilot bearing on the end of the transmission shaft, no matter what don’t trust the part number or book information before installing. I also use a touch of thread locker on all bolts. Good content. Thanks

@dougharlow6037: True true- Words of wisdom sir-thanks for sharing.

[@craigfarndale4260]

You do great vids, can tell a lot of work goes into it. Well appreciated. Very informative. Clutch looks great.

[@mefistofer]

Great video Dale! I am sooo jealous of that electric ratchet of yours, I refuse to do any more work until I get one!

[@natalioguido2362]

Great vid! really wanted to see that throw out bearing install

[@JeepSolid]

Throw out will be coming in a video soon.

[@mechanicmotorvehicle7083]

Use old top Gear shaft for removing & refittint clutch assembly. Loose the bolt nuts diagonally. Use drift for placing the holes properly of flywheel refitting

[@Itiswhatyoumakeit]

Thank you for your helpful videos

[@TheGentry34]

Thanks for making these videos I changed my oil pump after watching your video on that main bearing next I guess

[@Tom-ik5sc]

You said Mishawaka correctly on your first try haha. I actually live in the South Bend and Mishawaka area ... Just a couple miles from SB Clutch, actually

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! That's awesome. Thanks

[@ClintonSnow]

Excellent Job.

[@kansaspatriot2051]

I’ll be doing mine on the CJ this winter! Another great vid!

[@JeepSolid]

Cool! Hope this helps ya out

[@mitchellcrager9933]

If it's a Toyota miles don't matter 😂😂 had a Tacoma with 220,*** miles and still had the original clutch, and it was always climbing hills or digging in mud. Still caught early and worked like the day I got it. But now I have burnt a few out on the late 80's little S10s 😂😂 But I was also young and dumb then. Great video man !!

[@kylekelly3843]

like all your videos man you do good work

[@JeepSolid]

Hey! Thx Kyle

[@theoutdoorswithsundown4576]

Great video

[@restrallete007]

Great video. Thanks!

[@ja4476]

thanks, useful video... Wouldn't it be easier to remove the front exhaust pipe to do this job ?

[@JeepSolid]

If it’d come off easy. But sometimes that’s a battle on its own

[@ja4476]

@@JeepSolid indeed.... !! btw, your vidoes are very appreciated....

[@2006derald]

Good videos but it would be nice if you would tell us the size of the bolts and nuts.

[@boldlord6937]

Pressure plate bolts are 13mm

I replace my clutch. Judging from a bunch of videos on KZbin I did everything correctly. It’s a 06 TJ with a 6 speed. Now it’s rattling when the clutch is disengaged. I have read that the clutch fork could be rattling due to the retaining spring being faulty. I replaced everything in there except for the that spring,the fork and the throw out collar. The noise goes away when I engage the clutch/step on the pedal. I’ve also read this was normal but the old clutch was not noisy like this one. I might end up removing and inspecting it again. Damn

[@mefistofer]

Dale, would you please elaborate a little on how you used a screwdriver to hold the flywheel? I can't prevent it from turning...

[@JeepSolid]

I wedged it on the stud on the back of the engine and the teeth of the flywheel. But if it's giving you trouble, just get a wrench on the front on the engine on the vibration damper. You can stop the crank from turning over by holding that Bolt.

[@petergosinski3967]

I have a 1995 wrangler with a ax5. Sometimes it just completely lockes me out of gear when it gets warm i didnt know if it was a clutch

[@JeepSolid]

Could be that the clutch isn't releasing properly.

[@MrMrsregor]

@@JeepSolid maybe what they call the "throw out bearing" ( i am not positive, just a though )

[@justus9802]

Thanks for all the videos. Good work. Are you changing the seats on the project 92?

[@Hawks_Perch_FaW]

I have a 89 wrangler, it’s clutch often gets completely stuck. Like locked out of every gear when on, and when it’s free it releases on the top of the petal. Like almost all the way released, could it just be out of adjustment? Or something else?

[@ujayet]

Is it possible to replace the clutch without removing the transmission from the jeep?

[@JeepSolid]

Yes. It's possible, but it would involve removing the engine instead. The clutch is pinned between the transmission and engine. Only way to get to it is remove one or the other.

[@stuartglenn4407]

When reinstalling the flywheel and clutch, did you use the old bolts or get new ones?

[@JeepSolid]

Reused original bolts 👍

[@garymarlett7843]

How did the Jeep shift after you installed the south end clutch? I was told they don’t shift smooth.

[@JeepSolid]

Works great. No issues.

[@sidewaysfishify]

Clutch went out on my Jeep, absolutely no clutch but when I push the pedal hard enough, it rubs something and inches forward. Sounds horrible.

[@rinconsgarage3264]

What tool did you use to remove your pilot bearing?. I'm to that point and can't figure it out. Thanks!!!!

[@JeepSolid]

Check out my video on pilot bearing removal. Super slick trick to get it out 👍🏼

[@Thatthingisfalling46]

Slide hammers work magic

[@jacobshields6942]

My sign was it went from a slight noise to a god awful squeel over night

[@kennethhudson8013]

That always hurts. I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS 😒 😑 😫!

[@pranays]

some times they bit you.
