Jamie; thank you for all your work recording, editing, and whatnot. I love seeing the details of how things are done. The stuff Full Custom leaves out. Ian; I am new to fabrication, and you are such an inspiration to me. I would love to get a chance to work with you.

I have the perfect tool for that. Has three little fingers on the end of a stick. Just right for times like these

What a rookie move. I would never make such a mistake. Until its full of oil.

[@larrysorenson4789]

I love your channel and the two of you. I collected oarts of my custom car for twenty years. Shortly after I retired the doctors descended with their stoic and grim opinions. I feel great but cannot leave my bed for the bext 60 days while they get ready to do something. I have forced my wife and son to make me a work bench and tools as a part of my bed. I can grind, sand, clean and fit all the little stuff. I will start the conversion of the 6 volt dash to 12 volt soon. The bench over my bed is large enough to draw out the wiring disgram. The fed-ex guy is fully on board and comes in to see how I am doing. I beat most panels into submission but cannot weld from my bed. So I work on perfecting everything else. I August I will be welding even if I am in a chair. I have already confirmed that the welding will not interfere with my pace maker. I have a year left on the Clipler “B”. So that shkuld be just about right. Love you, love cars, love America.

[@GregoryBamber]

Glad to hear you haven't given up Larry. Too many do on doctors advice. I'd be on a mobility scooter except for an honest older doctor telling me to keep riding bicycles. I have physical problems now due to a life of hard and/or heavy work and bike riding is the only exercise I can do that doesn't hurt, well not too much anyway, lol.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you for the comment. We hope you get to feeling better soon and back in the shop doing things you love.

[@abelardocastillo6683]

What makes you a step above others is that your well rounded,great fabricator but also chassis and engine. A one stop shop.

[@Kahuna54]

That music when Ian was putting the engine and trans together made me think of my grandfather (Pa) who was a master mechanic back from the 30s thru the 70s!

[@javman03]

Goodness gracious Jamie! Looking fantastic on the click bait thumbnail! Wowza.

[@ZonDog]

Hey Ian, I guess you forgot the throw out bering.😊

[@rickyvidahonative]

Ian watching transmission install and did not see throw out bearing install on clutch arm. The bearing drives on sleeve so that it has solid mount for that back-and-forth movement. Turn bearing so large surface is touching pressure plate arms. Pinion is sometimes longer than the bellhousing so it can get into the engine crankshaft bushing. New bolts will allow you check on bearing and replace bolts.

[@donh.5557]

I really like the Jeep project. Take me back to my own Jeep project years ago.

[@RootBeerRacer]

I once had a roommate that dropped a tiny bolt down the timing cover on a modern 4cyl. His brother bumped the starter thinking it would shoot the bolt back out. It didn't. Your super magnet screwdriver method is way better. Thanks for a fun Monday!

[@stuartmarkman769]

Great videos and Jamie makes you answer the questions that many of us might ask if we were there. She is a treasure and a keeper. You too are a great team.

[@tims8603]

Good job with editing Jamie. Ian, you need to get a magnet on a stick. I made one out of an old telescoping antenna and a cylindrical neodymium magnet glued on with superglue.

Great job on the assembly of the clutch to transfer case ect. Looking forward to seeing Jamie's big smile as she drives the jeep around the area. Hope you can fish the clutch cable into the housing without too much heart ache.

[@jasonshaw9240]

I use to rebuild clutches when I was 18, trucks,Army tanks ,drag cars those were great days ,but there was possibly 2 things were missing on the thro out bearing that attaches too the thro out fork .their should of been 2 spring clip type things that holds the thro out bearing too the clutch fork so that both thro out bearing & fork stay together ,I also noticed that there wasn't a spring that holds the fork over the ball that the clutch fork pivots on too. But what I know I only rebuilt the actual clutch itself. Ps. I hope you don't have to pull it all apart, cause that looked frustrating 😒 😂👍

[@bruceharkness4497]

Yes, nice way of pointing it out.

[@johnt.848]

I noticed the same things.

[@Darrelas]

I am biting my nails hoping the input shaft bushing was installed in the flywheel. It seemed to go in too easy without a clutch alignment tool. Love all the builds. Good clean filming.

[@jack002tuber]

Glad to see some progress on the Jeep. Hope to see it done soon. Perfect car for the desert

[@mikeskelly2356]

It's great Jamie is learning about her vehicle. I showed my Wife how to change a tire, then she called me complaining that she couldn't get the spare out of the trunk because my tool box was too heavy to lift out of the way... I said, why don't you open it and take out the heavy tools so you can lift it?... she hung up on me... Some of us are just not mechanically inclined...

[@stefantrnacek1394]

Thank you 😎♥️😎 ~ Jamie

[@oldgeordiegeezer3086]

Ian - I've watched all different versions of "your" KZbin videos and as a systems engineer who has been working on vehicles for 40 years it's great to see you laying into cars with hammers and sawzalls. Watching you batter panels into shape and create almost from scratch steering and suspension systems is impressive, but there's one thing I've seen you do that I've never seen attempted by anyone else. I've seen tee-shirts, sweatpants and even underwear, but you're the first person I've ever seen use a sock as a cleaning rag! Keep it coming dude!

[@Kahuna54]

I got a good laugh when the light stuck to the magnet! Thanks!😂

[@daveboatman4024]

Great video! Love Jeeps! My first vehicle was a 1946 CJ2A, my second was a 1960 CJ5. Spoiler alert, have no illusions, all vintage.Jeep tranny/transfer cases leak. I believe it was a Willys plan to keep them from rusting 😂!

[@paulsasso1650]

The flat side of the throwout bearing goes to the fingers on the pressure plate it’s hard to tell looking at the video, but it looked like you had it in their backwards that would suck on fire up and make a lot of noise .

[@jamesgrill6016]

I think he assembled it without the throw out bearing.

[@johnjacobs4625]

yep

[@davegallucci9327]

It's coming together. Make sure you fill the gear boxes. It looks great!😊

[@habel5501]

Release bearing may be on backwards ?????? In the 1950’s International trucks had the same set up, bearing goes almost all the way on the collar then a hammer and block of wood seats it the rest of the way. then only the outer part of the bearing rotates. The complete gearing shouldn’t spin on the collar………….Love your show…..

[@notajp]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The wide side of the bearing has a hardened face. That is what is designed to press against the fingers on the pressure plate.

[@johnjacobs4625]

looked backwards to me too....I'll rewind it a few times and watch again

[@johnjacobs4625]

I watched it three times....never saw a throwout bearing installed

Should be a slight press fit?

Hi Jamie and Ian !! Man the jeep is getting there ! Gonna be Cool , Cool ! Always a bummer when parts don't fit the way they should...I wouldn't have figured jeep would be that way , but it is what it is. Years ago I did a few restorations on British motorcycles. A lot of the aftermarket parts were made in India. They were awful ! You wouldn't think it would be more expensive to make parts that fit than one's that don't ! Can't wait to see the old Willy's in action !! Take Care !

[@johnjunge6989]

The throw out bearing has a hardened face to press against the clutch forks. It should be press fit to assure the bearing spins on forks but not on the release bearing housing. Older clutch linkages usually are a rod that has a ball ( for pivot ), and not cables, all mechanical. The ball pulls against the fork and releases the pressure plate.

[@jackbrown7895]
