I’m a flat rate tech and you just saved me so much time man thank you. Great video 10x easier on a lift but I respect the fact your on your back and not making any excuses. Made 8.2 hours in 3 hours . Cheers !

One of the most serviceable cars I've ever worked on.

Great video, thanks for posting. I did this on a 2005 Vue to replace the clutch slave cylinder. One tip, disconnect the steering rack from the steering shaft with one bolt. The steering rack drops with the sub frame.

I thought the slave cylinder and master cylinder formed a closed system. Why did you have to take transmission out?

I changed an engine in a Vue last year. I disconnected the steering, exhaust and a few other things, then dropped the complete subframe engine/transmission onto a couple movers dollies then rolled the whole thing out from under the front. Piece of cake.

thanks for your work. its so much easier to watch the first time. back in the day you would go to and old motor head and ask how to do it. you have become the old motor head. thanks

Actually I was wondering how to figure out snap out the my transmission cable for a replacement and your 6 first minutes on the video answer my question, thank you buddy ❤❤

You have no idea how much this video is appreciated. Thank you very much

Thank you for the video !!!, I'm replacing clutch in my 2004 VUE.

Great video. Thanks for posting. I am seriously considering attempting this job myself.

Great job and great video!!! Thanks a lot man! It was very helpful.

Thx for sharing this. Gonna make my job much easier! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for this video. I think yours is the only one out there with regard to a Saturn Vue manual tranny removal. Still not sure if I want to tackle this beast of a job in my garage, but at least I know it's possible for a DIYer to do it. I'm guessing putting everything back together was a pain in the arse. Taking things apart is the easy part, getting everything lined up to reinstall is the hard part. Thanks again. P.S. This same job at most shops is going to cost you $1300 to $1500 in most shops, I know because I've had it done 3 times in my '05 Vue.

Pop the ball joint off instead of the steering knuckle bolts. Once those are removed it usually means an alignment is needed.

thank you for fantastic video

Great video! Very informative!

Thanks. I will be giving it a try next month.

Thanks this helped me out a lot!

Dude, you are BRAVE

Would be pretty cool to have a video for the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing.

Those are a bit more generic. I.e. you could watch videos on how its done for other cars and it would be about the same

Great Video Thank You

Hi, when you said there's a lot of work to remove the transmission. The first thing came to mind is the TUCKER 48. You can remove the engine and transmission out and put another back in 30 minutes. The dealer would have installed a loaner in your car, in 30 minutes.

Good video.👍 The only thing i didn't see it marking on the struts with a marker paint on a screwdriver.in order to save money on new alignment .. the will be out off alignment when put back together not a big deal since Good explanation on your video...

Great video. one bell housing bolt not shown in the video is up on top of the starter. I got all the bolts out shown in the video and the transmission would not come down. Pulled that last bolt out and the transmission came right down.

Buen trabajo amigo q Dios te vendiga

Helping me in this tough Time..least this guy is good with a camera

Awesome job 🎉

You dont have the video for the clutch?

Nice video, very informational! Do you have a installation video? ...definitely SUBSCRIBED!!!

On my 2003, that starter bolt doesn't go thru to the transmission bell housing. However, the starter has to come out because there is an 18mm bolt hiding above it that has to come out. Just an FYI.

Thanks for the tips 😮

Good video

Thanks man it is a great video, which is the right oil for this transmisión? F23? Something?

What I'm not seeing is are you doing both sides when it comes to the wheels axles and suspension?

Excellent video. Getting ready to do it on my son's '03 vue. Any special alignment tool required for the clutch or can you just use a broomstick or something?

use an alignment tool, like he mentions in another video about the timing chain, the vues engine is more delicate than most. So exact alignment will make your repairs last a lot longer.

Hello do you have video to change the motor on 2006 saturn vue

How did you diagnose your no crank no start after your clutch replacement

Important question for the comment section. I have a 2006 saturn Ion 2.2l 5-speed that has no hydraulic line from master to slave cylinder. (Discontinued part) But the part (slave and hydraulic actuator line) for the Vue is still in production, the bolt pattern looks identical between the two. Will it work? Because I'm planning to buy the two parts next week to attempt to get this vehicle running.

Is it safe to place a jack lift under the oil pan? The film is very good and detailed. It would be good to see more films like this one on more simple car repairs.

Please share the hydraulic bleeding procedure.

I should have that video up and a few others in the next couple of says.

Is this method possible on a 2007 Hybrid with a 2.4 engine?

Bagpipe music near the end of the video! Who would have guessed?

How bad was it stabbing it back in there? Were you and a jack able to do it or did you have to find some help to literally lift the transmission to get it back into the motor?

I am also having a problem putting it back together. The trans. will not go completely in.

Had 1 bolt right above the starter that I didnt know was there until I started pulling on the trans, 05 vue. Didnt see it because it was covered in gunk. Just incase anyone else has the same problem

You say stuff like 'there's a bolt right here and here and another one there' and the camera is so close, people have no idea where you're referring to. How about referencing where the fasteners are you're talking about in relation to other things like "to the left of __this___" or "about a foot behind the ___that___" ? It's a helpful video in some regards and entirely frustrating in others.

"When you're done with that one l have another one waiting for ya🤔" Great video, great help for us, Thanks!

You keep calling a breaker bar a "cheater bar". A cheater bar is a pipe that u use to extend a Breaker bar or, any other wrench...to cheat & get extra leverage!
