How to Replace a Clutch in your Car or Truck (Full DIY Guide)

How to Replace a Clutch in your Car or Truck (Full DIY Guide)

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.

Rodrigo Díaz says:

I love brake cleaner!!

Peter Falzone says:

Using anything petroleum based on rubber parts or parts that come in contact with rubber will dry rot the rubber. Make sure the brake cleaner you’re using does not have any type of petroleum in it.

Radoslav Ivanov says:

potatochobit says:

back in the old days when your air conditioner changed from R12 to R134a we had problems with light flywheels.
because the flywheels were already lighter and required more RPMs to keep the engine going when you did a R134a conversion which was much higher pressure and required even more revs in an R12 system, your car engine could stall during heavy braking if you had the A/C on and you pressed in your clutch, lol.

Sean says:

What about a FWD, or is it basically the same idea?
