Toyota Yaris Clutch Replacement

Here is a great starter tool kit amzn.to/3JWU7iH
Watch Marc replace a clutch kit on this Toyota Yaris.
replacing a clutch isn't as daunting as you might think.
remove the battery and begin stripping down everything that is attached to the gearbox.
this includes wiring looms, pipes, gear selectors, starter motor, electrical multiplugs and the slave cylinder.
slave cylinders can differ in design, this one however is mounted outside the gearbox ( the easier design ) this means we can detach it without introducing air into the system. this means we dont have to bleed the clutch fluid later on as we are able to just move it to one side.
you can remove bell housing bolts but make sure to keep them organised, some are different sizes and lengths so it pays off to be organised here.
i always leave one bolt in the bell housing until it is ready for removal.
once everything has been detached from the gearbox, drain the gear oil and remove the driveshafts. support the engine and remove the rear stabiliser bush, when you do this the engine will tilt slightly. making sure your engine support is fitted properly will soften the force of this tilt.
again, once you are happy your engine support is adequate, remove the gearbox mounts and then with the transmission supported (via T/jack or your own strength) loosen the last remaining bolt and remove the gearbox.
while the gearbox is on the bench its a good opportunity to clean it up and swap out the thrust bearing.
using a screw driver to lock the flywheel in place, you can undo the clutch plates, clean the friction surface before fitting the new clutch.
Always refer to your Tech data and procedure manuals on how to correctly install and torque these plates.
when you're happy, re fit in the reverse order in which it was removed.
don't forget to re fill the gearbox with gear oil (commonly 75w 90)
Every wheel that is removed must be properly torqued before you test drive.
i hope you enjoyed this video!
i hope this helped if you were looking on carrying out this job yourself.

These kinds of DIY videos are the best thing on the Internet. Thanks a million! We just did rust repairs on the chassis (of Yaris) and now the damn glutch is gone! So it goes... always..

[@envoycdx]

Rather enjoyed that. Sadly I'll be doing this job on my back, but it's certainly less daunting now than it was in my head.

[@scottyfroula4818]

how did it go. thinking of doing the same

[@envoycdx]

@@scottyfroula4818 being brutally honest. Got as far as splitting the box from the engine and couldnt clear the rear box mount (jap built 1.3) to get it out. After 3 hours of swearing, cursing abd almost breaking a finger it went back to together and off to the garage. Was not a happy chappy, but i would give it another go if i could get the car a but higher and such i would give it another go if i needed to and didnt have a single day to do it in.

[@TomO-xf8mk]

Hi Marc. Thanks for doing the video. I successfully managed to change my first clutch on my 2002 Yaris using jack stands. I nealy gave up when I couldnt get the gear box to line on as i hadnt centered the clutch plate properly. After the car wasnt running properly, problem sorted. Vacuum pipe for emission control had come off when engine was tilted. Running good now. Cheers.

[@mecabrico]

@@MTMMotorServices : Glad to see I wasn't the only one using this trick. :-) I had started doing this when I worked part-time in a motorcycle workshop. Often, it was necessary to wait for the delivery of the parts to reassemble and it was my colleague who had to finish my work. Or, I who had to finish his. To simplify his work, I made a drawing of the fairing of the motorcycle and drove in the screws. As I practice mechanics less now, I continue to do so. It's all the more valuable as I work on more diversified things where I haven't acquired the automatisms of yesteryear. Thanks for your video. It's very clear. If I can make a suggestion, it would be to add the dimensions of each tool used. It would be reassuring for an amateur with little equipment to be able to check that he has all the tools necessary to start the job.

[@lawts1240]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I’ve just finished doing the clutch on my daughter’s 2003 Yaris. ( On my back. On the garage floor.) It was great to have you talk us through the task. One thing I would stress though is just how difficult it can be to remove the driveshafts! The driver side is not too bad, but the near side was a pig to do as it’s really difficult to get something behind the inner cv joint to tap it out. I ended up actually pulling the inner CV joint apart by pulling too hard on the driveshaft to try to remove it. Apart from the driveshafts and the rear gearbox mounting, the job isn’t too bad. It took me about 12hours in total working alone. Thanks again!!

[@MTMMotorServices]

Really glad this helped!

I just love how it comes out of the wheel hub so easily for you! Always the case on KZbin videos but when doing it in reality it’s never that easy!

[@MTMMotorServices]

Although that is also my complaint when watching videos on KZbin. In this case.. it did actually come out nicely 😅 But that being said, i understand why people cut out the additional 45 mins or more of extra grief they get from seized parts. If there is a problem I get with certain parts of jobs, I will explain any issues I get but most of the time.. if something is stuck, you've just got to persevere.

[@connorparker1249]

It’s not necessary to remove the left hand driveshaft from the hub. Just tie it up out of the way once the inner joint is out of the final drive.

[@k4piii]

Depends on how rough you shift, and usually a clutch is change in half of the life of the vehicle, so I will not spend much on a clutch, only ~90 for both clutch and housing. But that's my opinion

Good job bro..

[@AndrewShawS187SH]

Great well made vid. I have bit of a phobia about disturbing wheel bearings. Could it be possible to remove steering rod end from NS hub and just pull NS shaft out of box, pushing to one side like other one? Also, OTT maybe but poss a blast of air to remove all crap before pulling shaft our of box, which might fall onto shaft or into box? Rubber glove on end of shaft Then duct tape over box entries to stop anything getting in box while worked on? Hope that helps, I have a bit of prob with my Yaris - clutch really strong when engine cold, when hot and accelerating in 2 or 3 gear revs pick up and stay steady at 3k ish, just like an automatic kicks down. Is this a prob with variable timing or clutch? Thanks

[@josephjameson7716]

Big fan...car question for you: my gf has an 07 Yaris 5 speed w/180k miles. Great build drives nice. Weird issue I can't figure out. During warm weather (70f +), when car is cold, the car hesitates out of 1st gear specifically uphill. It feels like a chatter, like power is not getting to wheels smoothly. Only in summer and only when car is cold. Ideas?

[@SANTACRUZKITESURFING]

Nice video, but you forgot to mention greasing the pivot point on the release arm.

[@maj6150]

Do you need to adjust the clucth peadal to the right biting point? Like on a Aygo or hyundai i10 older model? Or not?

[@maxdargence6911]

Great video! Although if I were going to do the job, I would replace or resurface the flywheel, especially by the looks of that one it got hot and will likely chatter and prematurely wear out that brand new clutch and it will have to be done again in half the time.

[@sajidkhanmahmood]

Hi mate i recently had my clutch changed in a 2003 yaris tspirit do you know if this model has a dual mass flywheel or single because the mechanic told me its dual but i thought the older models had single.

[@ElleyElley-et4ky]

Good video. Real world replacement labour time?

[@gryphon123456]

Very good video. Other videos make it look way more complicated. Is there a way to tighten up the shifter to take the play out of it? Just picked up a 2005 and Mine has allot of slack it seems.

[@colepritchett4331]

Mine does the same I think that might just be a general thing for Yaris’s

Hi Marc, thanks for this video . im having a littel problem with my Yaris vvti when weather is raining hard to shift gear to 2 and Reverse gear. any idear .please .

[@soldiersvejk2053]

The transmission cable really stuck to the gear linkages, and I ended up damaged one of the rubber grommets of it when trying to pull it off.

[@brianbrown4965]

nice one m8

[@sonofachef1470]

Can you recommend a lighter clutch as my current one is hard to press down

[@rayamaro9963]

Hard to believe that you would take all that apart and not remove the flywheel and replace the rear engine main seal since it's the easiest time to do it. I also noticed that you didn't remove the clutch fork and inspect the pivot bolt for wear and put a dab of grease on it to keep things smoothly. From experience, I know it's easier to do it right rather than having to take all that off again just because I cut some corners. Thanks

[@LVJANISLV]

Out of interest how much do you normally charge for this on a yaris?

[@Juyaskills]

Hi, i have Toyota Corolla 2007 1.6 mmt transmission car. 2 questions i have .

[@wittywilf]

The vibration you are feeling through the pedal it's not just the abs coming on is it?

[@taylorlivingston5963]

Run a thinner fluid in the gearbox. The factory Toyota gear oil isnt that great. I went from 75w90 to 75w80 and the lighter fluid provides a pretty smooth shift. A slave cylinder would be more at fault if the clutch pedal was sinking too low to the floor and sticking coming back up.

Hi Mark and thank you for sharing. Can you or anyone tell me if it is ok to use Copper grease on the input splines and release bearing sleeve ? Im getting conflicting advice on this,Some say not to grease at all.Would appreciate some guidance.

[@MTMMotorServices]

Some clutch kits actually come with a little pouch of grease. This is mainly for the splines for ease of fitting. Grease isn't essential so that's why some people use it and some don't.

Because the slave cylinder is external on this set up, you dont disturb any of the pipes which means you don't introduce any air into the system, so no, I did not have to bleed the clutch

[@karolkarol2761]

How to place the clutch without this special alaign tool?

[@MTMMotorServices]

Some kits (very rarely) come with disposable plastic alignment tools for fitment. I would reccomend buying a tool. If it isn't aligned properly, the shaft on the gearbox won't engage and you'll be there struggling with a gearbox that won't go in. It's worth the £10 for a basic tool to save the stress

[@JOHNMINKA]

this the same on 2009 automatic box

[@MTMMotorServices]

I've never had an automatic yaris in the workshop so i couldn't tell you without seeing it. The automatic gearboxes are internally different so you wont have the same clutch set up like you see here.

@@MTMMotorServices and the buggers changed some gearboxes on the automatic 2009 are a standard plate clutch with the same as you have on top is the clutch change unit push pull . mine is slipping slightly so change the oil first . but i dont think this is the problem only done 48 k miles its either clutch or the dear push pull unit. get the obd unit and set the clutch clamp before dismantle.

@@JOHNMINKA slip normaly occurs due to wear on the clutch friction surface or possibly contamination on the surface. Unfortunately you'll need it out to inspect.
