I have a tune only truck with a bad clutch, once I get the funds I've been dreading doing the clutch since I've never done one, this video makes it seem like the hardest part is the trans itself

[@TattsForLife]

It pretty much is the hardest part

[@jonathanstockwell9318]

Awesome video very detailed! Going to do mine soon. Was turning the crankshaft with a wrench to get the starter to catch and it broke off the end of the starter today. Thanks for posting this

[@gearhead9347]

I had one fall off on me one time and knock me slick out. I learned the hard way to never take my hand off until I get atleast one bolt started

[@TattsForLife]

yes never let it go to a bolt is started and is in the threads a good way

[@tracyhill7960]

Aah! I get it now! Your single mass flywheel came with the pilot bearing in already! Awesome. I was so confused

[@TattsForLife]

Pretty much!

[@rudolfdiesel7.3version31]

Right on. I'm doing this tomorrow. That was clear, thanks.

[@treeofliberty4407]

Great video but I sure wish someone would show the full process. I got my clutch in and everything bolted up right, started my truck and it would not go in any gear. Re dropped the trans and my clutch fork seemed to be installed right but had two big gouges in the metal on my slave cylinder side. Something was locked up

[@johnshurtleff5131]

Doing the worx clutch flywheel pressure plate, oil,pan rear main seal.I put84 cab on 91 1ton super duty hoping 3 inch body lift will save me as far as the cab is concerned pulling oil pan

[@gatorftbllvr]

Can Anyone Help me figure out why my clutch is hooting? I've had my clutch assembly replaced twice in less than a year and it still "hoots like an owl" and yes they've replaced the throwout bearing both times. Is it possible there's an issue in the pedal instead? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

[@tracyhill7960]

Just curious, but I've heard the dual mass flywheel does that just before it separates

[@gatorftbllvr]

@@tracyhill7960 We FINALLY figured it out! It was the slave cylinder. Praise the Lord it wasn't anything catastrophic! Thank you!

[@sethwoot]

Thanks for the vid..all my research on 7.3 is showing only 47 to 49 ft pounds for flywheel as well as manual with my clutch kit

[@TattsForLife]

Thanks for the info!

[@tracyhill7960]

Be careful! The dual mast requires 49 and the single mast is like 89 or 90

[@jesusgastonspiropulos741]

Could you indicate what brand it is. And the part number. Thank you.

[@ej7431]

Good video...attention to detail is much appreciated....What part of the country are you from. I would pay you to do mine.

[@TattsForLife]

them 7.3 are hard to work on, lol I get sick just thinking about changing a part on one lol

[@montanahosler]

My 95 F 350 7.3 has a dual mass flywheel. I am not sure what year yours is, but do you know if our rigs can use either type of flywheel?

[@TattsForLife]

They can

[@dustinblackburn6962]

Good work

[@TattsForLife]

Thanks

[@christopherschafer2628]

Thanks for the video, that was easy to follow and helpful. Did you do this on the ground or on a lift?

[@TattsForLife]

sadly I had to do this on the ground, as no lift I know of could lift my roll back lol

[@drmanny2827]

On the ground and in rocks but put down big rug and half sheet ply wood for jacks to roll ... But 2 days later got it in .... Wish I would've used the 6in bolts as quied pins in the begging but hey u learn but its in how what a diff it makes totally diff truck 7.3 turbo 5spd. All bout can't wait to turn it up n lil more boost

[@mattm3492]

Does the cab need to be lifted to take the top transmission bolts out or no?

[@TattsForLife]

No it does not

[@justme3853]

I have a '90 F-250 7.3 non-turbo with the zf5, the ring gear on my dual mass flywheel is bad, would you suggest I just convert it over now to the solid flywheel? And I'm guessing it will be the same as you show in your video? Thanks for the time and effort in your video, very informative.

[@TattsForLife]

I like the way the solid flywheel preforms, but I use mine to tow alot

[@tracyhill7960]

I've heard Reusing a dual mass will sometimes get your feet cut off when it blows apart at modern highway speeds

[@TattsForLife]

@@tracyhill7960 Idk about that, but the solid is just stronger, I think a dual mask flywheel is their to help with vibrations and driver comfort, I drive alot old cars so vibrations are a normal feeling for me lol

[@buddymoney2418]

Do you have a video of you taking the transmission out?

[@TattsForLife]

I sure don't

[@Arizonahwy10]

Great video. Do you get any grinding noise after installing the single mass flywheel?

[@TattsForLife]

only in reverse but that is caused from the transmission gears for reverse and not the clutch

[@Arizonahwy10]

@@TattsForLife awesome, what year is your powerstroke?

[@TattsForLife]

@@Arizonahwy10 I would half to look lol 😆 😂 I don't remember off the top of my head

I order that same kit but it didn’t fit for my f350 1992 4x4 manual do you know which one would fit

[@TattsForLife]

I am not sure on that year truck

[@Jacksonkellyfreak]

Did you take the transmission completely out or remove the driveshaft and slide the trans back?

[@TattsForLife]

Can be done either way, I fully rebuilt my transmisson so it was already all the way out when I installed my clutch

[@HotMannaMinute]

What is the name of the spline alinement tool? We're can I order one? Thanks bro

[@TattsForLife]

I think its called clutch disk alinement tool, mine came with the kit I ordered

@@TattsForLife awesome thanks bro, there's no Way you still have a link for that kit is there?

[@chinncannon]

Did you record removing and reinstalling your transmission? Break in period suggestions for the new clutch?

[@TattsForLife]

just drive normal for a few 1000 miles for the break in on a clutch, and no I did not record the install

[@garyolp7125]

When you were tightening down the pressure plate to the flywheel, did the fins move on it??? I am having troubles with mine.

[@TattsForLife]

Not that I noticed, but the pressure plate does put alot force on to the clutch plate so it could, if its moving alot you could have something on wrong, or a bad part

yes its always best to double check

[@lenarddallas2436]

Having an issue getting truck to go into gear after new clutch. When i was tightening down pressure plate the fingers were moving which seems odd so I exchanged it for a even better clutch assembly and same thing now truck wont go into gear while running. I also replaced master/slave cylinders. Out of ideas now

[@TattsForLife]

any trouble before the swap? and as your tighten the clutch down the fingers will move some as the disk puts pressure on to the clutch

[@tracyhill7960]

Could be a bad slave cylinder

[@brandoncain91]

So it stead of pulling my trans cause I bought brand new upgraded transmission. I just pulled my motor cause I’m doing performance upgrades. Would it be same thing

[@APOffroad]

Yes lol

How much does something like this cost after everything is done

I did it all myself was just out cost of parts, was under $400 but it was a few years ago, cost for parts may have went up some
