This video gave me the confidence to pay someone else to do it! haha

9 years and video is still helping your fellow shade tree mechanic 👍 Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

Just read about your old man passing - sorry for your loss. He lives on in the Jeep community 👍

Thank you for showing the access for the top bolts. Missing this in so many videos.

Thank you for keeping this up, it's a great tribute to Dennis and made this job much easier for me!

Great video Dennis!! I wish I listened from the beginning. Just finsihed rebuilding My 2000 NV 3550 and because I rebuilt plenty of old t 10 and Muncie's I never jacked the rear of a car up. I used to be able to just throw the tranny and then the on transfer case on my chest and just slide em in. Anyway I just finished bolting tranny up to engine and I putting the back on jack stands before putting transfer case back in. If anyone reads this I highly recommend watching the begging and dong what Dennis shows and jack that rear end up.THX

I have a YJ watched all the "pundits" Jeep channels, and none of them mentioned that the top mounting bolts were torx heads, and none of them mentioned lowering the Trans to get at them. I don't think you mentioned lowering the trans either but I could see that the Trans was sagging down out of position. I have everything else apart on my YJ. This was the last piece I needed. Thanks

thanks SOOO much watched vid took notes followed step by step ! an 18 volt impact gun helped a Lot lol . e-12 bolt on top passenger side almost did me end tho..3/8 swivel,2 inch extension and my impact gun did the trick. while trany was out i replaced the upper oxy. sensor.. propane torch and ice water in a bottle 2 times did the trick..impact helped again...thank you for this vide ..Dennis's memory is a blessing...

This is, by far, the best instructional video I’ve ever seen on KZread. My heart goes out to dennis’ family and anyone who knew him. Absolutely badass video, thank you so much for the contribution to the community.

Best video on the internet. Dennis, may you rest in peace. To the son, this video has helped me fix a jeep for my boy. Thank you!

Used this video to change my throwout bearing and clutch. Thank you for keeping it up!

Finally the perfect answer I've been looking for. I just put in a new clutch and everything was good, then TO bearing got chewed up so I replaced it. Ever since the TO bearing replacement, I've had this strange rattling sound coming from somewhere in the trans...had me worried. You would not believe how hard I searched online forums and at local 4x4 shops to get to the bottom of what was causing that noise. So glad to know it was that little spring on the release arm. When I push the clutch in it stops. Must have just not put it back on...Thanks so much for the clear explanation and wisdom! Excellent video. Neal, your dad sounded like a great man. So sorry for your loss brother.

Thank you gentleman for a great video, Yoyr father working with you is definitely a great memory, just as I will be doing this with my son for his jeep. Thank you for an awesome video.. May your father forever rest in peace knowing he's still helping people and bringing Fathers and sons closer together. Thanks again

Very Good video. I am very sorry to hear about your dad passing. He obviously was a great guy and his legacy lives on in this video. Thanks for the Great Video!

No bullshit talk, no waste of time. Tells what to do very clearly and gets the job done. BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO EVER. THANK YOU VER MUCH.

The best, most in-depth video of this task. I am about to do my clutch and throwout bearing and this is my go to resource! Thanks!

One of if not the best DIY vehicle maintenance videos I've watched. Thanks!

This is by far the best video to get the job done. No nonsense, straight forward information.

Best video I've found for pulling the trans. I especially needed to know how to remove the shifter from the top of the transmission. Thankyou for the video !

Very concise Video! No funny talk, no wasting time . Thanks for posing!

Thank you very much. Will be pulling the tranny, t-case and engine here when it warms up a smidge. Love wrenching on my own stuff, because it is much cheaper and builds better skills. Thanks again for the video and have a good one!

Great video. I will be doing a clutch and the throw out bearing replacement on my 06 Wrangler, soon but this is very helpful. Thanks!

Best instructional ideo I've ever seen. Thanks

Exactly the video I was looking for/ needing. Thank you guys for showing this.

Incredible video Dennis. Thank you to you and your father for the very clear and specific instructions throughout this tutorial. This is giving me the confidence to take out my transmission. I’ll follow up once I complete this job!

Dennis thank you so much for this! You saved my brother and I HOURS! Can't thank you enough!

I want to thank you guys for this video. I pulled the transmission from a 1999 Jeep Wrangler to replace a release bearing due to a retaining clip failure. It went a lot smoother knowing about those two bolts on the top of the trans and how to remove the shifter clip.

One of the best mechanic vids I've seen so far!!! Thanks for taking the time to upload that one.

Great Video, just finished my TJ clutch. It was very helpful and made the job go well having a video like this to use as a reference. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Great video. Finally somebody explains what is making that rattle noise in my clutch. It's not a loose throw out bearing in as much as that darn spring clip in the fork! Thank you for making this video. It will help me come the day that I get up for this task.

Got a 97 TJ last July, clutch just went out. This was by far the best video I have found, thank you for doing this. Now I just got to find this illusive clutch fork spring somewhere, no parts houses here have it

Great video . Thank y'all so much for taking the time to make it!!!

Wow what a great video--this really helped me get the job done. So sorry for your loss. Sounds like your dad was a wonderful man. He was clearly a very gifted mechanic too.

Awesome video!! This is a very big help. Just ran into the E12 bolt heads and need to pick up that socket tomorrow. Tranny should be on the ground tomorrow. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for making this video. It's by far the best one I've seen.

Thank you for this excellent video. I got my transmission removed today because your video made it very clear on what to do.

That is one of the best videos I've seen on how to do something properly at home well done

Essential video. I'm pulling my automatic transmission (99 TJ) and this video is so helpful Thanks, gents!

great video man. thanks to you i removed my transmission without a hassle. if i had more thumbs i would raise them all for you.

This videos gave me the confidence to tackle my clutch install! I had the iPad playing the video as I went and there were no surprises following the step by step! I’m posting the day after, to which I’m still fighting getting the transmission back in haha.

great video, super helpful when removing my transmission to do clutch job on 2002 Jeep TJ/ 4 liter engine, sorry for your loss, I also lost my Dad to cancer.

Don't forget to mark up your driveshafts....they're balanced and must be put back on in the same position.

you guys are life savers, thanks a million, for taking the time to make this video,it was priceless.

Thanks Joshua, glad it helped you out.

Just great. Video and the explanation were outstanding. Thanks so much. Used this as my primary reference source for pulling transmission.

Thank you a lot for the time you (and your son) took to film the whole thing. It's really clear and video is really steady. Very informative. I just subscribed to your channel ;).

Awesome video! It's good that he got a chance to share his wisdom with so many people.

Thank you. This is the best DIY video I think I've seen so far.

Hey, Waterdog. This is Holton345 from WF. I have watched this video like a dozen times over the past year. I have all my parts now, including the spring clip AND the ball (just in case mine is worn) AND the shift fork because if I don’t have a backup part I will find a way to break it! ;-) I will be pulling my tranny (NV3550) this week. I am hoping the teardown is essentially the same as your AX-15. I am replacing my stock engine block brackets and the motor mounts with some from Brown Dog Off Road. I could *not* get to all the holes to clean them in prep for accepting bolts. They are threaded, but this block is dirty, surface rusted and abused. I am going to pull my fenders to give me more access, and I plan on doing this BEFORE the clutch job so that the motor is as light and easy to wiggle around as possible. I am hoping this will allow me to get these block brackets installed. Once that is done I will do the clutch. The issue is that I will have the tranny off the jeep for upwards of a week. Can this harm the tranny or the exposed flywheel? The bottom edge is open, so I am imagining that if I store the tranny on some thick plywood and cover it with a tarp that it will be fine in the covered carport. Do you see any issues with this? The skid, shafts and transfer case have been off for some time now. The TC project is pretty much done and it is together and sealed up. I just have to reinstall it. So that just leaves the tranny itself to disconnect and pull. I am hoping this will go right the first time. Your video has helped me with this a lot. I was just wondering what you thought about the sealed transmission sitting on the cement on some 3/4” plywood, covered up for like a week. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you!

+Holton 345 I sure don't see a problem with it. I would stuff a rag in the gear shift opening just to keep debris out. Good luck on your project. I'm looking forward to being able to work on mine as soon as my broken wrist heals some.

Thank you and I am sorry for your recent loss. I will be guided by you and your father on my 1995 wrangler

Im replacing my clutch on my little 2.4. I have a few things that vary, but other than this video is the single most informative resource. Thank you so much for your time!!

Thank you Dennis, a great video and a real help. My sons 98 TJ has an unpleasant knock in reverse. I am about to become familiar with this transmission...

Great video and thanks for doing it. I'm tackling my clutch starting tomorrow, I found your video to be very informative.

Thank you for posting this great video, fixing to do a 2000 TJ SE clutch job ....

Best transmission video. Thank you!

Just an update..Got the tranny out and yup TO bearing was in pieces..Just want to say thanks again for the vid made life so much easier.

This is a great video! You guys are awesome! Thanks a million!!!

Super informative and helpful, thank you so much for creating and posting this.

Great video. I'll be using it to change the clutch on my '05 TJ. May you father rest in peace.

Exactly what I was looking for thanks guys !!

Well done, one of the best narrated and filmed vids out there. Jeep is so dam easy to work on, like a tractor. Why all cars are not like this baffles me. I will trade you a set of flex head gear wrenches for the Jeep lol. Stay gold.

Great Video. Very informative and detailed. I own an 01 wrangler and appreciate your video highly.

Awesome video...thank you for the detailed information!!!

Awesome video. Also, that last part explains the rattling I'm hearing.

This was an amazingly detailed...Thank you!!

Best vid I’ve seen on how to do this. Wish you had more vids on the tj.

+Chris Farrell Great idea, why didn't I think of that....??

Awesome video. Best info I've seen out there.

Great video! I'll be putting in a clutch tomorrow..very informative

Great video. In my experience the throw out bearing is the weak link in these. Mine is making noise again (with the clutch depressed). 210 thousand miles its been replaced twice.

thank you for your video this is my first ever clutch job and I was trying to help a friend out and it went relatively smooth we like to see one on how to put it back together because that was the hard part LOL

Thanks soooo much for posting!!

Great video, thanks for posting this and the advise given, has been a great help

Nice job. This helps me tackle the ax5 on my 2.5l. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. I've looked at my share of videos, and yours are the most easy to understand and informative. Thanks again...

Thank you! This video helped me out a lot

Oh my, non rust belt Jeeps look a lot nicer under side! thanks for the great video.

great video. Getting ready to do my clutch soon

Great video. This was awesome.

Excellent video, thank you.

very useful video! thank you!

Excellent video! Where was this 3-1/2 years ago when I did my clutch? If I remember, I did everything you did except I was trying to figure it out as I went along. I didn't have a trans jack, so we drained all fluids and separated removed transfer case, then removed trans. Thanks for great video.

Thank you so much! Tremendously helpful.

Great Video!!!

Thank You, great video.

Thank You nice methodical Job !!

You're the man, thanks so much.

Also kids wear glove around that bell housing cover plate it has sharp edges....

Great informative video!

Great video! Hit on all cylinders!

I love that you didn’t show how you twisted that locking piece for the shifter. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the video!

if or when ya get back under the jeep..lower the trans pan and start rust proofing the support holes and the hole rail,,had one come in with rusted out cover support holes real bad areas for rust...just my 2cents....great vid also have fun with the rear shocks is ya bust a bolt...

Great video.

excellent video. Thank you

Nice Video!!! Thanks a lot!
