Learn how to replace a clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, throw out bearing (aka release bearing), pilot bearing and rear main seal in this video!
My clutch was fine but my throwout bearing was bad so I decided to show how to replace all of the wear items while the transmission was off. This includes replacing the pilot bearing which the transmission input shaft goes into, the throwout bearing which engages the pressure plate via the clutch fork, the flywheel which I upgraded to an aluminum light weight flywheel, and finally the rear main seal because that is a common wear item which causes oil leaks in higher mileage motors. With the transmission out, it is worth it to replace all of these parts now instead of having to do this all over again. Most clutch kits come with the throwout bearing and pilot bearing so you just need to buy a rear main seal.

What am I doing here at this time (12pm, France) while I have work tomorrow at 7am…
Well, it's a great video, so worth the time. I kinda remember how you had to wait for the new transmission to arrive to finish the video
We always used wet paper towels to push pilots bearing out same process just no grease mess
Throw out bearing is NOT supposed to be in contact with the pressure plate springs when the pedal is fully released, thats how you get messes like the destroyed bearing you pulled out from the car, and also why the clutch disc outlasted the bearing. I see this constantly in the late model mustang scene and absolutely no where else. I have never found an issue in any of your other videos but honestly this surprised me. I thought you were smarter than that mr chris fix. Of course ive also heard this is factory procedure… makes me wonder about FoMoCo's motives back then. Other than that, great video very thorough and informative.
great vid ..watched it again after a few months as I enjoy these car repairing vids…keep up the good work Chris.
Kerja anda sangat rapih bung?
Too bad you aren't in Maryland lol. I would pay you to work on my clutch/transmission. Don't want to pay 3 grand to the transmission shop here.
Hey Chris. I have a Mini Cooper and wanna rebuild my engine. Where can I buy all the components from? What store, site? Thx
Excellent video. Would love to see another version doing this with long tubes and that T45 😉
I use the wet newspaper sheets instead. Less mess to took out the pilot bearing.
Good looking out for us shade tree mechanics ?
