Don’t forget the blue loctite on the flywheel bolts.😂 The clutch disc will not fit both ways so it’s dummy proof. Also clean the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces with brake clean unless you like a chatter grip starting from a stop in 1st gear. 😊 Check for a binding clutch disc on your input shaft while the transmission is on the floor. One tiny burr will ruin your day. A tiny tiny bit of grease on the splines helps too. Since I remove the bell housing I also use guide bolts with the heads cut off on the top 2 mounting holes on the bell housing to help guide my Muncie transmission in straight so you don’t bend up the clutch disc. Lastly do not pull in the transmission the last few mm with the mounting bolts or you may break off a mounting ear. It’s binding so push it in because it will go in eventually. Remember when I mentioned about trial fitting the clutch disc while the transmission is on the floor, ya that’s the reason.😂

Hi Ray, I am an old time mechanic from Australia and now retired but still working on everyones cars. I noticed the trouble you were having with removing the spigot bearing from the end of that crankshaft and thought you might like to try something that I was shown as a kid. If you fill the cavity with grease and then find a bit of wooden stick or anything close to the inside diameter and insert it, then hit it with a big hammer the hydraulic pressure will pop that bearing out easily. Give it a try next time. I really enjoy your videos, makes me feel younger! Cheers, Rusty

Well I've been working on flying saucers in New Mexico for 96 years and Ray its good to see you mature.

I found a set of temporary installation studs I made years ago in the tool box. They are the same thread as the bell housing bolts but longer with a large chamfer. They make the alignment a lot easier and help guide the transmission onto the dowels. Driveway mechanic tooling but it sure makes the job easier when wrestling with a transmission while on your back.

Awesome watching you resurrect the jeep back to better than factory.

Got quoted $2500 to change out a worn clutch on a Isuzu Trooper/Holden Jackaroo by the dealership over 20 years ago (parts were $300 retail), so instead I took 2 days off work (without pay) and did it myself and still came out well in front 👍

25:00 Ray, the way you remove a pilot bushing/bearing is NOT to pry it out. You pack the hole with grease and then push a ID-sized pin into the hole, thus ejecting the bushing/bearing. Good God.

I replaced a clutch on my 95 S10 a few years ago, but I didn't have the benefit of a lift. That job was 8 hours of misery on my back lying in transmission fluid and dirt trying to hold my head upright. My neck was so sore for days afterwards. Great video!

Like watching your garage. But disappointed that you didn't torque the fly wheel down. Uneven torque can cause crank bearing damage. Eric O torque the flywheel down. Now saying that I do love watching your show

I love seeing the old YJ getting the love it deserves. Another great video Ray.

I often see you re-greasing a new or used part without knowing whether the grease you're applying is compatible with what is already in the part. Incompatibility could cause the greases to react with each other and turn into a worthless putty. And a 10-12oz brass hammer would be useful taping little locating bushings into their homes.

Hey Ray, you forgot to brake clean the flywheel before you put the clutch parts on!!!

The jeep is getting it's shape. Nice work.

Hey Ray, just had a customer with a jeep renegade, with a failed clutch. These jeeps are made in Italy, with Fiat parts. It's a 6sp manual, mated to the 1.4L multi air, using a dual mass flywheel (which looks like it fits a go cart). These clutches are tiny and weak, and like Fiat in general, prone to failure with everyday driving. This customer is a big rig driver, so they are adept with standard transmission driving, so there's no excess abuse. The kicker is the flywheel is disposable. Being dual mass, you can't resurface them, and because it's two pieces that move independently, with spring dampeners, they are designed to fail from the drawing board. Replacing the flywheel comes at a cost upwards of $1,000, plus a matching disc and pressure plate for another $250-300. There is one company online that makes a single mass clutch kit, but that creates an issue of future service with only one company available to supply replacement parts. The disc is likely the same, but the pressure plate is likely built to accommodate the single mass flywheel and not the OE DMF. What a POS company, to build a Jeep from a Fiat 500!

I love how you explain things and I've learned so much from you

Been missing "it's a Jeep thing". Nicely matching lift and trans stand!

I’ve been watching Mr. Ray for a while now and I’ve been waiting on bigger jobs like this. One thing that I’ve found out after working in a private shop and now working for valvoline, the retail shops won’t do headgaskets, transmissions, and bigger jobs like that. So now that he owns his own shop I hope that I can see more of that! Love your videos sir keep up the good work

this longer repair, with the multiple parts, really has me invested. im loving the detail you go in to over whats happening and how much your sharing the journey with us

Great video. I learn a lot from your casual banter while working. I've only done one clutch job in my life and that was when I was young and foolish, literally 50 years ago, outside, one the ground on a British Sunbeam Alpine sports car. I cannot imagine now how I got through that.

Ray, here is a thought for removing pilot bearings in blind holes: Fill the entire hole with grease. Select a punch/drift the diameter of the First Motion Shaft and push it into the bearing. One swift whack with a hamster will usually pop the bearing our by hydraulic action. This is usually the only way to remove the old fashioned Phosphor Bronze / Oilite bushings. Hopes this helps

Thanks for all the great videos and explanations as you go along.

Tip to new DIY'ers: never drive a dowel pin/bushing in with a steel hammer. They should go in without hammering, and if you DO need a hammer, use a brass hammer; if you deform the bushing with a steel hammer, it will make it very difficult to install the part....in this case, the trans...on the dowel. Also, be SURE to clean the flywheel's friction surface thoroughly with brake clean before putting the clutch plate (friction plate) in place. I'm surprised Ray didn't do this.

I'm so glad you have your own shop... the video's have been better.. and it reminds me of when I had my shop open to the public... I still have the shop and all the tools just need a new back and I would be able to open it back up.. I've thought about hiring a mechanic but just never did it...

I would think there are torque requirements on the rotating assembly. I not a mechanic but it seems that would be a must do.

For heaven's sake Ray when using a reciprocating saw push the anvil (the head) hard against the object and that way just the blade moves and not the saw body making cutting 100% efficient. It's basic mate. All you are doing is taking more time, ruining blades and damaging the tool not mention the physical dangers.

Had a91 Cherokee Laredo and it was great for going anywhere and easy to repair. The straight six is a good engine 😊

Again a nice Video, pls dont Stop what you're doing. You're 1 of the reasons Why im learning to be a Mechanic and watching your Videos is 1: Entertaining and 2: something i can learn on. PS: Like the new Intro

Did you clean off the flywheel with brake clean before installing? Like when installing new rotors? If so I missed it. I love these types of projects.

Great vid as always. So much info during work. Gives me confidence to have a go myself.

I feel for you! I have an 87 YJ that I completely rebuilt! New engine, 4:10 gears, but mine had a pilot bushing not a bearing. Took forever to find the correct one!

20+ years in motor trade I never used a can or brake cleaner, just petrol or paraffin on a rag, to clean the friction face, maybe I'm just deficient in my cleaning things. By the way love your videos, reminds me so much of setting up my last workshop, on my ownsome for several months before getting someone to work with, and that I truly regretted, he was more trouble than the help he gave.

Thanks for the memories... The last manual transmission I pulled and replaced was a Subaru Brat back in the 80s. I just recovered from 4 months of being bed bound and your videos kept me sane. The only problem is now I want to work on all my projects piled up around the place, and my family is basically having to tie me down to keep me out of trouble. Really admire your work, hope you can keep your balance with all you have going on. Best of luck.

Pro tip: Use bread! No, seriously! If you don't have a pilot bear puller attachment for the slide hammer, just start packing down the inner cavity with bread, and then use a hammer and chisel to pack it in until it's so tight, it pushes it out from the inside.

i was told grease works also with a hammer and a shaft that just fits so hydraulic pressure pushed the bearing back same idea more messy i guess

@@gpsguidedsimpson It does actually, and I thought about mentioning grease, but that's super messy, and bread is easier to clean out with a blow gun.

@@gpsguidedsimpson Blue paper shop towels can also work as well for this.

glad to see your not clutching at things and thrusting ahead with the job

So much fun .. I had to do this in my driveway when I replaced the clutch in my '93 YJ LOL ... Luckily my Jeep has about a 6 inch lift, so getting the trans out and in wasn't that bad. Just had to do it on my back :)
