You're a godsend dude. Seriously, so much help on so many different things. Can not thank you enough.

Bro.. Ur videos r awesome. I have a 2g and reference them a lot. Keep up the good work and long live DSMs

Still a great walk through 9 years later! Awesome videos man

Hey Jafro, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to record and upload this process. It made clutch replacement so much easier. Your videos helped keep a DSM on the road and not in a scrap yard.

I can't get the traxns separated from the enginb\

So crazy to not need to use the torch on every bolt. Also almost no rust. I need to move to where you are, being a mechanic in the north which salt and winter sucks. About the video very good job, Informative and helpful to those who have no idea what to do.

Jafro, Got my trans and clutch yanked today with major help to your vid. Thanks for going so in depth and being available for questions regarding things! After two afternoons (today ran from 11am to just about 6pm) i got the sucker out and got the clutch out of the car. HUGE props to your awesome video journalism skills! and thanks for all the tech help you've given the DSM community! Ben

Great, Professionally Done, The Use of Time-laps and Additional Graphics Makes This The Best I Have Seen From Home Shops. The Video is as Professional as The Work on The Car Have You Considered a Carrier in Film Making. You Should ! Thank You JED

Dude, your channel kicks tail!!

Thanks a ton! I love your videos. Knowledge is power and this is where its at. Keep it up!

Thanks for making this video. I'm in the process of replacing the identical transmission with a new TRE one.

Keep up the good work jafro. Your videos are adicting to watch.

Hi man! im just want to say that you made a great and clean work down there. Nice!

your videos have cured my cancer!!

Wow thanks for the quick reply! I will keep trying it's just reassuring I wasn't doing anything wrong like missing a bolt to take off lol...once again thank you!

Watched this to start working on my 98 GSX trans, thought I had a throwout bearing clutch / fork issue, ends up the center section on my 6puck disc snapped the rivets and came lose, hence me not changing gears. Thanks for the vids and following to come, been a ton of help.

very good video. Nice picture, nice sound, nice explanations. Best I saw on this matter.

oh thats great news :D i want to thank you for your videos , they have helped me a lot! :) thanks again for answering so quick :D happy holidays!

I'm particularly impressed by the time & effort in post-production to make these videos easier to follow. There's a few things I'd like to change, like having graphic overlays of a diagram of the car, to clarify where the camera is pointing & to repeat (in text) the name of a part that's mentioned. Unfortunately all of that would be expensive, and I'm guessing that you're not paid a lot to do these videos (which is a shame, because they're a huge help to folks like me). Thanks for making them.

Fantastic channel...many thanks.

Subscribed. Looking forward to more videos.

Best video ever help me install my new clutch saved me money

@Jafromobile Yeah I found that out after about 7 minutes of posting. I'm ready to drop the trans now. I always refer back to your videos for doing something. Thanks for making them and keep it up man!

it took me a month but i finally did it. my 95 AWD talon is ready for cruising the beach. thanks jafro!

Good video man!

Looking in to putting a new transmission in my 05 scion tc, removing an engine looks pretty damn intense. Think Ima go for it though. Thanks for the vid man

Really it's easy. You've got an in and an out for air, coolant, fuel, electricity (wiring harness + grounds), and just un-bolt the AC and PS pump so you don't have to drain them. Pull the throttle and transmission linkage, pull the motor mount bolts and yank it out of there. If it's auto, you'll have some ATF lines to deal with, but they're easy enough. I pulled the engine out of my Dodge Colt back in the day in an hour and 20 minutes including my clean-up. It's not that bad. If you have access to a 2 post lift, you could shave even more time off by pulling all that stuff and lifting the body off it leaving the engine and front wheels/subframe on the ground. Easy access to take everything else loose that way, but it only _looks_ intimidating. ZipLock write-on bags, masking tape, and Sharpies are your friends.

@Jafromobile Awesome man, thank you! I do have a 2ga AWD, so your videos are extremely helpful. Thanks again, Cj.

Great Videos!

Hey Jafro first of all much thanks for all your help I am currently doing a clutch job and your vids have been awesome! I am having trouble getting off the passenger axle I wedge and wedge and nothing you make it look so easy...lol. So any suggestions or tricks this thing seems to be stuck!

AWESOME, I am going to add your build to my thanksgiving day blessing at the dinner table. right up there with good health and loving family...BAM Jafro vid...

thank u soo much for these vids dude ur awesome

Its sooo fun watching in fast motion

Witness my OCD. lol Dang squirrels! It's good to have a sense of humor when doing this stuff. I find it helps keep my anger in check when things aren't going well (stress kills) and I don't get "burned out" as easy from doing this kind of work. Nice vid. Thanks!

turkey baster works good for sucking out excess fluid.wow u had a whole lot more things to remove than I did on my 03 elantra.Good job u work really fast! LOL

Thanks for the video mam, help me out a lot :)

I've been searching for a guide to take the sst out, have not found one yet! Super hard to find, but I was wondering wether it's smarter to pull the full motor out, or go in through the bottom to the trans

@Jafromobile

6 жыл бұрын

If you drop the drivetrain out through the bottom, you have to disconnect the AC, power steering, fuel, coolant, exhaust, intake, upper strut mounts, timing side mount, transmission mount, and wiring. Again, I don't know if an EVO uses a wiring harness bulkhead connector or if it's all hardwired like a DSM, but several wires like the alternator, starter and ground straps would also need to be removed. If you drop the drivetrain out the bottom, you will need a lift to raise the car up off of it. You can pull a Honda down like this in about 2 hours, but doing it fast without breaking stuff takes practice. Remember that you've got an in and out for coolant, oil, fuel, air, and electricity. Take all the in and outs loose and be methodical. By the way, I googled "EVO X Service Manual" and my top hit gave me free PDF's of the entire thing.

4:58 - sounded like an aircraft landed and throttled down outside your garage, the pilot needed a quick engine maintenance after a compressor stall.

Great vid,.... now I know why I still drive a front engine rear wheel drive, this looks very intimidating

I SO WISH you would do a 2g AUTOMATIC - FWD - rebuild. I have two. The one in the car now acts up some times but NOT all the time. I would love to JAFRO rebuild my trans just like you walked me through the MOTOR REBUILD.

Great channel and awesome vids!!! Getting ready to do a comp stage 3 in my GSX. This was helpful as I'm used to FWD lol. Thank you.

Exelente ! ; gracias ,desde argentina.

my Dad is trying to figure out how to disconnect the hydraulic line from a standard transmission on a 1999 ford ranger xlt. He is having a heck of a time getting the line off. Oh and he said he wishes he could move as fast as you do in your video :) lol I said your a super manchanic :)

Hey jafro, I have a question. I just did a trans swap and put brand new clutch pressure plate and flywheel in my 2g gst. Everything was put in fine. For some reason when I take off in first gear when it's initially starting it gives a little shake. Do you believe it's bad motor mounts? Or possible alignment? I tried changing the ball joints and still does it. If you can help that would be awesome!

Hi Jafro, what kinda oil would you use an Evo IV transfer case? I cant find the OEM diaqueen one in the UK

You're my hero

Yea I believe they're also called hammer drills, or rotary hammer. I was just using one to bust out cement underneath my shower tile and realized it may work really well to put in the center of the axle and just keep hammering it until it busts loose. Maybe to much power, but I dont know.

What camera and program is this??? Very nice quality

hey man, getting ready to tackle this on my own for the first time soon. :( Do you drain all of the fluids? or just the trans?

Kind of a weird question Jafro, but could you use a roto hammer on the seized axle. Just get a pointed tip that can be used for chipping out concrete, and put that in the end of the axle. Thoughts?

Hi, Thanks for doing all these videos, they're Great! Can you remove the clutch cylinder push rod part without bleeding? Sorry im a complete novice

@Jafromobile Thanks for the reply because i just spend alot of money for a shop to fix my transmission and second shifts fine but kind of clanky and I want it to shift better but not mess anything up. OH what forums do you use because i would like to join whatever site you use.

that car is insane

LOL at the peanut you found

How universal would you say the actual removal of the trans is? I need to swap out the one from my 87 S10 Blazer, and am trying to get a basic idea of what I need to do, since I have very little familiarity with transmissions and suspension and such

curious when dissembling the fwd manual transmission... theres this "dished washer" that came out of mines. where in the hell does that washer go to? nothing on the forums indicate the location of this piece. Any clue jafro? its not in first gear box.

I'm looking at a 97 GSX all original w/ 116k miles. I'm not sure if I should get it though. How easy and cheap are the parts on it? Is crank walk a huge issue? I've worked on a ton of SRT-4's before and those were a bit of a pain. (Why I have V8's now). Just curious if I should get back into the sports compact game, especially with the new GT's running mid 12's, lol.

@Jafromobile

6 жыл бұрын

It won't run 12's stock, but it won't take much to get it there. AWD and styling is what sold most people on the second gens. Some parts are starting to become rare (like transmission parts), but actual cases of crankwalk are extremely rare. The majority of the crankwalk cases are caused by improperly performed maintenance, or improperly adjusted clutches. In other words it's owner/mechanic-caused damage from misaligning the engine and transmission, or from pre-loading the clutch. You'll find lots of information on this channel about that. But as with any 20 year old car, if you buy it, you're on the hook to maintain it and ensure things are done properly. It's a classic and in 5 years it's going to be an antique. Anyone can go out and buy a new GT and run 12's. Some people like to be just like everyone else. ;P It's a tough call. You'd need to add a lot of technology if you expect it to do the things a new GT does, but that GT will never be AWD. It's definitely nothing like an SRT-4. Ultimately I can't make the decision for you, but it boils down to the kind of enthusiast you are? What challenges you're willing to accept?

Yea I've worked on many types. Japanese, Korean, American, German, Italian, and British, and street on off road motorcycles, quads, and 3 wheelers. My preference are German cars because I think they are the best engineered. Have owned numerous European cars but my favorite is BMW (which I've owned 9) and Mercedes (my 5th one so far).

Is there any difference in a 1g transmission install and a 2g? I am having a heck of a time... I bought it from an individual and the transmission was already out. Mine is all wheel drive and the transmission case seems to be hitting on the rear crossmember and the input shaft of the transmission on the clutch. I have no mounts out except the one on top of the transmission. Any ideas?

Lol this is funny to watch you do this... walking around tap tap tap tap tap tap tap lol

Hey jafro, im stuck on the lca's riht now. Got them unbolted but for the life of me I cannot get them separated from the knuckle/hub. Any ideas? Ive tridd pry bars and even a ball joint separator ( as im replacing the lcas and ucas on this job as well)

@Jafromobile Thanks for the reply because i just spend alot of money for a shop to fix my transmission and second shifts fine but kind of clanky and I want it to shift better but not mess anything up.

Sorry for newb question but is the cv axles on manual 4g63 same as the automatic 4g63/420a's?

At 4:20 its not OCD its called being smart! I just did my clutch for the first time on my 98 civic and put the bolts back in whenever I could. Made everything much more organized. Less guessing, more working

If it were OCD, I would have drawn a photo-realistic picture of the transmission. ;)

How did you get your transmission so clean? Mine has what looks like oil spots embedded in it. I have tried simple green, engine cleaner and pressure washing. so far nothing works for me. Yours look new.

can this method work on a 2007 eclipse gt? i cant find a video anywhere for that car

Hey jafro. I have a 96 gsx automatic, having a trans problem, when the car is in 1st 2nd or drive it will take off, second you give it some gas it slips almost like a clutch us severely slipping, any ideas?

nice video! can i use this same procedure in my 95 gst?

@Jafromobile AWD! man, thats the best of both worlds! and more fun!

How can I get shiny parts to my Toyota Corolla E2 engine 1988? How can I polish the cylinder head, heated exhaust shield and transmission from outside?

@Jafromobile If you have a chance, could you get me a list of the bolts that hold the trans to the engine? When I bought my GSX, it didn't come with a trans and almost all of the bolts were thrown in a bucket. Thanks, Cj.

I wish there more videos like this for other cars.

One more... how did you get the driveshafts out so quickly?

Does the transfer case need to be drained also?

@Jafromobile hey would you happen to know where i can purchase the Shift linkages or cables shown in 4:25

How did you get driveshaft out of transfer case?

Is the removal the same as in a fwd minus the awd component?

Yessir. The transmission codes are even only one letter different. It's all the same.

is your charcoal can removed because i can not get to my back trans mount that easy

the last comment... I hope your memory is like mine, because you will need to use it in order to remember where each bolt goes to... okay.. you use the technique of keeping them in their holes or together with the parts they came from, but still, some of them get lost.. and that it when the short-term memory comes in action.

i love how he threw the wood on the floor. omg idk y but i laughed so hard

Dude were did learn all this! Do you how to fix a transmission leak! I need help

"couple blocks of wood." *throws some random 2x4s* "need doze"

Would this apply to a 91 Galant VR4 as well? Thank you.

Hello Jafro! I have dropped my transmission in my 98 Spyder before just wanted to ask if I left it supported by a jackstand and piece of wood for a week it should be OK correct? Last time we took it out, checked what we needed to, installed again same day. Also If you have an email I would very much appreciate your opinion on a trans issue I've been having lately. 98 Spyder manual swap and awd swapped. Thanks much sir hope to hear back soon!

I don't give my email out because people will use me as a resource to be their free DSM tech support, and there's nothing on the planet that can motivate me to want to do that. I don't wrench on other people's cars, and I don't have the time to support 846,000 20+ year old cars. That's the job of the people who own them. I'm flattered by those who value my opinion, but in order to keep production rolling on a channel that pays me less than 60 cents for every hour I work on it or support it, I have to stick to only teaching through my own examples. For the engine support question, if you put the crossmember back in the car, you can put a block of wood between the crossmember and the flywheel to support the engine. If you brace it that way, you can even roll the car around and the transmission stays supported. It's better than using a jackstand for long-term storage, but the jackstand would work just fine as well as long as you don't need to move the car.

The SST is a strange beast. I doubt it has much in common with a W5M33, but the installation and removal procedures shouldn't be all that different with the exception of wiring and a TCU. I would recommend doing the job with your car's factory service manual at hand, and use this video for inspiration more than instruction. It would cover the differences that this old car doesn't have on it.

@Jafromobile

I think the torque specs and bolt locations would be different. The chassis is very different, so the disassembly process might be more involved. On many modern cars produced in the following decade from this one, it's easier to remove and install driveline parts by dropping the subframe with all the pieces still attached. I haven't blown an EVO apart yet, so I don't know how to recommend using this series as anything other than a baseline. I would rather see you follow the procedure in the FSM. Check eBay for it. You can find printed and digital service manuals for damn near everything there.

MakeItTwisted AWD or FWD? AWD cars have a carrier bearing bolted to the block, and removing that axle is impossible without removing that carrier bearing first. Some people use a bearing press to separate that carrier bearing, but I've been lucky and literally had them just fall apart in my hands.

whatching these, make me headache.. but nice work mate,.. i hand it GVR4 to the pro :)
