Nice work! Thanks for watching!

I just did this. This is a great guide, but I'd like to add a few tips. I would add that at least for a 2010 V6, you do NOT need to remove the exhaust. We removed the O2 sensors only, and had no clearance issues. Driveshaft bolts (12mm, 12 point) are typically installed with locktite red, which must be heated to release. Butane torches are warranted for driveshaft bolts. Once heated, they release easily. I also did not disconnect the starter wiring. It can be tucked up into the suspension until you're ready to reinstall. The hydraulic clip can be tricky. Pic tools are the best way to go. It removes toward the driver's door. Put your finger on it and press against the pick, or it will likely go flying across the garage once it releases (ask me how I know). We had a hard time getting the new hydraulic line to come out far enough to recoup the hydraulic line on. Ended up grabbing it with pliers and pulling it through farther (careful with the O ring). That proved effective. Be very careful with the shifter bolts. They are cheap pot metal and shear easily. Always use penetrating oil first. That linkage is no longer made and is expensive if you can find it on Ebay. Note nearly every bolt is metric EXCEPT the flywheel bolts. They are 3/8". If you try to use a 10mm, you'll likely strip it (one of the few mistakes I didn't make).

You sir just made my life soo much easier. Thank you!! Also little tip, I recognize you were probably being generic on purpose since not everybody has this car. However since you titled it as a clutch replacement for all 05-09 Mustang GT’s specifically, I wish the torque specs and nut/bolt/socket sizes would’ve been mentioned as you went along. Thanks🤗

Was very worried at the thought of having to do this on a 2009 Suzuki GV diesel to replace the leaking rear seal but this has been like a friendly uncle who guides you through it step by step ... I am eternally grateful!

Thanks for this video. I would not have been able to do this repair without it. Just back from test driving my Mustang (2005 v6) and car works great again. Sections of the video were different (ex. starter on drivers side held in with 2 bolts). I used four 3-ton jack stands. I did not have to remove any part of the exhaust (except 02 sensors). It did make getting the upper two bolts on the transmission a little bit more difficult. I needed a friend to get the transmission on the transmission jack because we had to put it on the jack under the car.

Very nice video, thank you for the upload. Just replaced the clutch assembly on 2010 GT, The two top bolts on bell housing were quite a challenge. We didn't remove the entire exhaust as themiddleclamps were quite seized, but had unhook both of the Cat.Converters and pushed the aside, as well as the 02 Sensors. The clutch was not slipping at all, only the shiffting got really hard, but ours surprise the old clutch it was ripped apart and split intn two pieaces Cheers

While this is a great install and I will be using it when I go to do my 2006 Mustang V6 repairs, he makes a lot of oversights. When you remove the pilot bearing, do it BEOFRE installing your brand new shiny flywheel, as any mishap in this stage could gouge your new flywheel and set you back a lot of money and steps. Also there is no reason not to put the guide into the clutch before installing the clutch and pressure plate, this will make alignment much easier. Finally when installing the transmission back into the engine DO NOT use the bolts to tighten the gap. Make sure the transmission is flush with the engine block BEFORE installing the bolts to ensure no warping of the ALUMINUM transmission case.

Great guide. Just heads up, never set a new clutch on anything dirty like the old one. Thanks for this guide.

In the middle of this job now on my 2006 Mustang GT. I have fitted the transmission in and taken it back out twice now because while we get the input shaft lined up and through the clutch, there is still about 3/4" before it meets the back of the block. We can't manually push it any closer. I suspect it is simply the hydraulic throwout bearing that is preventing us from manually pushing it the rest of the way. (?) Should I just use the bellhousing bolts to pull it in the rest of the way?

Good call on that steel braided clutch line Michelangelo Hamato. My factory line blew out while doing some "SPIRITED DRIVING" sucked the clutch pedal straight to the floor. Brake fluid caught fire because it sprayed onto the exhaust headers. I also added a ISO clutch remote reservoir to solve BRAKE FADE problems.

Heh heh my clutch line popped out on the on ramp to the highway when I was at 4k rpm in 2nd gear. I pulled over and had the car towed home. I already had the braided line at the time, but one of the metal clips backed out slightly where the line connects to the plastic elbow by the transmission. I just used a dab of black silicone to make sure everything would stay together next time...

Excellent video, thank you! I know my throw-out bearing needs replacement because I can hear it, but I had no idea what that actually meant until now. Didn't know what U-joints were either, though I've heard them referenced a lot. Now I know! Thanks again, the video is very well done!

Doesn't matter. Probably a little easier to get the spline to slide back into the engine if it's not in neutral though. Sometimes twisting the tranny back and forth helps get it to slide in. If you were in neutral the spline might turn too.

Last step, we like to keep the exhaust mid pipe clamps pointing down so that the customer can have the joy of tearing the exhaust off over a speed bump. lol

Good video, everything you did looked good to me. I just had a question about using the type of silicone you were using in this video. This was the first time I have seen somebody use the type of silicone that you would find in a home depot for windows and doors (GE brand rain ready). I have only ever seen somebody use the RTV you buy at the autopart store. It never crossed my mind that you could even use that stuff instead. I suppose that stuff works exactly the same as RTV. Also, I am sure the price of that big tube of silicone cost much less than the little tube of rtv you find at the autoparts store (that stuff is expensive). If this stuff works the same I will have to start using that in the future just because I know it is a lot cheaper. Well thanks for the great video. I will be subscribing to your channel.

The biggest mistake is a pinched wiring harness at the block and transmisson. Please note that you need to be careful and make sure the harness is pulled up over the engine and NOT get pinched.
