If you have never had ur transmission out, dont have air tools, do it alone and have no transmission jack, plan on 6 hours. If ur adhd add 2 more to allow for lost tools, trip to auto parts, phone etc. So 8 hours minimum but give yourself 3 days so you can work a couple hours a day, so you dont destroy the jeep to teach it a lesson. Good luck.
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...
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
Used your video to removed my manual tranny a week ago. Very helpful. Had a quick question, does the vent hose thats located on top, connect at both ends? or just the one side you pulled off?
If that little spring clippy on the clutch fork throwout lever goes missing and the lever rattles--will that cause damage? is that something I need to deal with ASAP, or just something to mindful the next time I have the transmission out?
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. 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.
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
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 !
I was reading your comment in the wrangler forum and seen the link to this video. It is well done. Thank you. In the comment you mentioned not needing to pull the transmission for a 6 speed. Can you explain this for me?
ive got a question.im changing clutch, and doin sye kit and drive shaft change.you guys nailed that change and great info on everything from tools to quality job.very good job.My question is how high did you raise your jeep.i have 4 6 ton jacks so on the frame that gives you 24 inches roughly.Shoul i put stands on axles or frame.i guess i need all heigth i can get and using same type trans. jack as you.thanks for any info about heighth
What if your trans is stuck in neutral? Well I say neutral. It will roll anyways. It got hung in 4 gear and when I finally got it out. It’s stuck in neutral. Any help on removing the shift lever?
I have a 99 Jeep Wrangler 4 cylinder 2.5l. I was driving down the highway in 5th gear and suddenly I lost 5th gear. I shifted down to 4th and it was fine shifted back up and nothing. I also have no 1st, 2nd, 3rd or reverse. Would you have any idea what is going on?
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
This video is very informative and helpful, thank you for your time and shared wisdom.

Thank you for showing the access for the top bolts. Missing this in so many videos.
Ten years ago. C'mon TH-cam...

Used this video to change my throwout bearing and clutch. Thank you for keeping it up!
Awesome!!
I love that you didn’t show how you twisted that locking piece for the shifter. Any suggestions?
Used your video to removed my manual tranny a week ago. Very helpful. Had a quick question, does the vent hose thats located on top, connect at both ends? or just the one side you pulled off?
Great informative video!
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 👍
If that little spring clippy on the clutch fork throwout lever goes missing and the lever rattles--will that cause damage? is that something I need to deal with ASAP, or just something to mindful the next time I have the transmission out?
Thanks for the video!
Exactly the video I was looking for/ needing. Thank you guys for showing this.

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

I started taking the 6 bolts out on the skid plate and now I can’t get them to tighten

Hi Is there a collar on the shift level for a 2004 Jeep Wrangler sport? Think it's an NV3550 transmission... thanks
This is a phenomenal video!! Thank you so much!
I was reading your comment in the wrangler forum and seen the link to this video. It is well done. Thank you. In the comment you mentioned not needing to pull the transmission for a 6 speed. Can you explain this for me?

I’m pretty sure my spring clip is missing because I get that raddle while driving.
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!
Awesome video. Also, that last part explains the rattling I'm hearing.
Thank you so much! Tremendously helpful.
Great video, thanks for posting this and the advise given, has been a great help
I have a 99 Jeep Wrangler 4 cylinder 2.5l. I was driving down the highway in 5th gear and suddenly I lost 5th gear. I shifted down to 4th and it was fine shifted back up and nothing. I also have no 1st, 2nd, 3rd or reverse. Would you have any idea what is going on?
This video came in handy halfway through the job that would have been a lot easier if I watched this first
Great video.
I liked the part about transmissions. Take a shot every time he says transmission.
This video gave me the confidence to pay someone else to do it! haha
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
Awesome video. Very detailed.
Great video! I'll be putting in a clutch tomorrow..very informative
