Higher than normal rpm readings per gear and loud noises on acceleration and delayed acceleration are big time signs of a bad clutch. Excellent video.

This really needs more views. Very plainly and clearly explained. He delves right into the reasoning behind the diagnosis. Thank you.

very good explanation

One of the best, most concise full explanation videos on clutch systems I’ve seen yet, great job

Hey, dude. Just wanna say that you honestly make some of the best educational videos out there.

Thank you, I like to watch several videos of the same subject to get a variety of views, and more examples and stories for clarification. You are the first video to even mention the pilot bearing, and the first to use the term "throw out" bearing, which is what my dad always called it! Also, +1 for crush pedal!

Thanks man. I've been working on cars all my life and had my first clutch car in the 80s but sold it soon after. I never bought another clutch car again, even though it didn't give me problems. I got another clutch car now and it appears that the throw out bearing is going out so you finally taught me the science behind how a clutch works and how to troubleshoot it. Thanks again and keep up your great work of instructing us about cars.

I watched this even though I have an auto. trans. You deserve a LOT more subscribers!

Thank you very much for this video, I never quite understood how the fingers worked on the pressure plate before watching your video.

Best explanation of every part of the clutch system. Heck you even cover the good old throw-out bearing. Awesome. Plus you've got some humour in the thing. Awesome work!

This is a great descriptive video! I posted a clutch problem video on my ZO6 2 days ago. I got a call from Chevy today and they said it's the throwout bearing. But after watching your video it could be the pilot bearing as well. I sent the message to them. If you don't mind I'm going to post it in my description on the video. Thanks for the description of the clutch!

I really appreciate If you keep the video short. Straight to the point.

Awesome video, super thorough, awesome flow of explanation and great troubleshooting tips. Thank you for also including information about how the computer is tied into the systems as well. I learned a lot from this video. What was especially surprising to me is that when you kill the car in a manual, I always thought it was the engine just not having enough power to turn the wheels which made the engine die, but instead its' the computer sensing an overload and shutting down, so interesting. Anyway, good vid, thank you.

Very educational, thank you SO much. Just had a master cylinder & clutch assembly replaced, but the culprit, $1000 later, was the $31 throw out fork, lol! Gotta take it back in because when I release the clutch pedal, about halfway back up it sticks, then suddenly "pops" the rest of the way up. It's actually an audible "thump" sound too as it pops back up. I wish this video would have given me a clue as to why it's doing that. I just can't figure it out. Just spent 2 weeks without my car (2002 Subaru Forester), living in the country and a full time single mom, whew! I'm loathe to take her back in, but I don't want that thousand bucks to multiply! If every driver knew the basic mechanics of how their cars work, I don't think we'd be in the shop quite so much, lol! Thanks for including your bloopers, I was laughing with you! Comic relief is so very necessary when working on cars, gosh how my dad would swear and throw tools, when he'd make me "help" (really just watch) as he worked on cars out in our driveway. He really needed a son, lol! I'm grateful, I can install brakes, change a valve cover gasket, change tires, change oil and much more cause of dad making me "help" as a tween and teen age girl!

HeyRNW, I found the neatest Hispanic mechanic when I'm lost on my car. Jose has a small 3 bay shop and he's always working with his 2 other guys. He's so nice and informative. Plus he's really open and inviting! I go in his shop and hear his guys listening to the Mexican AM station and working and doing excellent work here in Lebanon Oregon. they did an excellent job on my 2001 water pump and etc timing belt change out. I wanted to try it, but i didn't have certain tools to really do a perfect job.

"god damn it i'm gonna call it the crotch pedal" XDDDDD

This is a very clear description of the operation of the clutch system.

Shared to Facebook. Best video on clutch noises.

I always wondered what those springs on a clutch plate was for.. thank you!

Excellent explanation. Easy to understand in plain terms. Thanks!

I've been waiting for this for so long! thank you SO much! Love your work man, keep it up 👍👍👍

The best video explaining how a clutch works

Wow that was actually the best video I've watched on this topic. Thank you very much

Great video thanks for uploading this! I blew the clutch on my GTR at a drag event a few months ago.. Will be replacing soon..

Best video explaining the clutch operation

Excellent, simple explanation! Thank you!

You are the best. I have looked at different videos where they explain as though they are deliberately intending to confuse! Clearly there is no continous shaft from the crankshaft and the input shaft. This is extremely hard to imagine when one considers that stuff must be continously connected from the engine to the wheels

super informative!!! very educational!!! good job, keep up the good work :)

"It's not slipping on this car" lol i love that part

Excellent, partcularly at the time 2,09 sec to 2,13 sec, with the role of the input shaft of transmission, something that is not so clear in many other videos. For me that is a very signifigant point.Thank you.

Brilliantly demonstrated and explained!

Finally i found well explained version, others tried but failed

great video. explains everything really well. great job!

This guy deserves much more subs, quality video man. Keep it up!!

fabtastic in a word..need to watch it again so i can fully absorb the interaction between flywheel & clutch etc..and are dual mass just the same or bigger clutch etc👍

Great Videos and explanations. Very clear. Thanks !

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Wow, thank you so much for this video. That clarifies a lot :)

Best mechanical video I have seen here. Well done.

Why would a clutch pedal ever get hard as a rock? That happened to me once and I subsequently got robbed by a Jeep dealer alternative shop. Best video I've seen explaining clutches yet

best video out there for clutch diagnosis

Hands down best clutch explainer on youtube

No he's got half of it wrong! How do I know, I have worked for the two largest clutch manufacturers in the world, and in two engine factories, one Ford and one Nissan!

Why you would put a thumbs down on this I would not know. Incredible explanation.

Expert and concise!

Best explanation I've ever watched....

Great video, much appreciated.

Wow. That was excellent Thank you . This Mechanic Rock's

Great video bud!

This video was so helpful! I never knew how the clutch assembly worked, and I always wondered. You explained it all so well, and I really like the careful demonstrations. Also, I'm afraid I'm also going to start calling it the crotch pedal now hahahaha.

Thanks man. I loved your videos and your voice 😅 Besides you are funny. Keep going ✌

Thankyou for your video, I just bought a car I knew needed a clutch replacing, but I didn't know there was a noise from the clutch being pressed til I bought it, and I am planning to fix it myself with a friend's help to save labour costs, but I am not sure what was causing the noise, thanks to your video I'm pretty sure it could be the pilot bearing, I like your detailed explanations evn though at first I was like, huh he's explaining manual transmission problems with an auto box? Lol but you did explain a lot. You got a new subscriber and a like =).

Crotch pedal......LMAO. best blooper ever. Great video my friend.

Best explanation ever!

VIDEOS NEVER DISAPPOINT

good video and explanation! makes me wonder how long it will be until the manual transmission with a clutch will be a thing of the past in vehicles, at least passenger cars.

love your vids.

Great video

Awesome dude.

great video

Awesome brother..

Awesome job...

Thankyou So much. Excellent Explanation 👍 Really I understood very well 👩‍🔧

Good video!

educational again thank you! im interested to see the issue

Great tutorial 👌 video it helped me to understand car engine theory thanks.wish u more success and good luck 👍.

Good video 👍

I appreciate your in depth explanation! How do you diagnose clutch judder / shudder? I used to have a dual-mass flywheel and now I have a single-mass flywheel and clutch kit, CDV removed and brake fluid flushed. I get an intermittent judder.... and I have no idea why.

Finally someone who can explain the inner workings of the clutch to a dummy.

Thank you for offering free education for mechanics. Shops pray on peoples lack of mechanical knowledge and education will force a shift in this model hopefully.

enjoyable, thank you ...

Wow, Ratchets and Wrenches has 605k subscribers now? Make America Great Again, man! Nice work!

So when shutting of a vehicle, is it a good idea to clutch down and then shut it off or? Also the same for starting it, clutch down or not?

Very nice

What if I hear a clicking/beating sounds that goes away when pressing and comes back when I remove my foot from the clutch?

Good video

thanks for this video , i have a polo playa 2001 model my car gears goes high at high speed when above 3000 rpm when pressing gas peddle down to floor , is it slipping clutch ? also i checked at bottom of fly wheel look like theres oil ?

I had a keychain rattle noise when the clutch pedal was NOT pushed in. Once you push the pedal in all noise stopped. Also, the car was kinda shaking when I pulled away from a stop. It turned out the flywheel was warped and burnt on 1 side. Resurfaced it and all issues are gone.

So if the get a woooop noise as you lift the pedal to pull away is this the release bearing (throw out) or the pilot bearing (in the crank)??

I have a question. I have a 05 mustang gt put in a new clutch kit with new slave/throwout bearing. From the beginning the clutch engagement wasnt linear. Ive bled the system many times and sometimes pumping the ckutch helps the engagement feel. So then i put a new ckutch master cylinder since the one i had was used but the pedal feel is still the same. Theres days that the clutch pedal feels great but usually after a few minutes of driving it starts to feel like the clutch pedal is not linear any ideas??

Thank you

Can you test the clutch by stalling on thrid gear to lessen the jump? Also, does stalling do any type of wear and tear or stress anywhere on the driveline?

Pl;ease advise. Cant put gear into gear. However cannot change gear at all. Noises can be heard from the engine when stationary but cannot hear anything on the move. The last thing that happend is I could not release the gears at all. Jad to remove the gearbox then pull out of gear. Is this a sign of bad bearings or personally feeling the Fingers have warped or become to fatigued and no longer respond to pressure from the pedal.....

There's video editing and is a real thing you know!

I have a 97 silverado 4x4 5 speed. With the clutch depressed a little or all the way it sounds fine. Release the clutch in neutral and it sounds like it's coming apart. Not a grinding of gears but a loud machine sound. Any thoughts?

when i changed the clutch assembly of my volkswagen polo and had it installed with a used clutch release bearing, the clutch did not work? my mechanic told me that something is wrong with the transmission which caused the clutch not to work. what do you think happened?

Thanks a lot

question: when I start my car, it makes a whole lot of screeching right after turning on. It also does this noise when slowly crawling in gear, being more noticeable in second gear from a stand still. What could it be?

Story to tell I'm 24 yrs old I bought my first manual car almost 2 yrs ago the clutch went out when I had 3 months with the car apparently the previous owner rode the clutch pedal all the time at first it started making this really bad noise when I would depress the clutch pedal throw out release bearing and then it wouldn't go into gear if the car was on and then the clutch pedal lost all of its pressure lol it went down all the way to the floor with no pressure had to replace it it's been by far the biggest expense I've had to do on my car I'm a DIYer but wasn't too knowledgeable on clutches but I do know for sure I will be replacing the clutch myself when it's time

Great info as usual .I'm thinking of replacing my vw dual mass flywheel to a single mass flywheel. Anythoughts .take care and thank you for the great videos

Nice!
