I'm not gonna lie, watching your videos are kinda therapeutic and informative. I wish u great health and wisdom. Peace..
When comparing his old videos with his newer ones the camera quality and quality of information is the same but you can tell how different his energy is. With his older videos he is seldom and serious but with his newer videos he is very enthusiastic and entertaining.
Now it's "HEY, GUYSSSSS!! CHRISFIX HERE!!! AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO FIX YOUR MF'ING CAR!!!"
youtube forced him to do so, otherwise they would demonetize his channel
Bro said this 4 years ago and still true today
Lost his virginity
@@Hide_and_Tweakthats not true in the slightest
My car works because of you.... You are awesome
you make some of the most helpful video's on the internet
Steve Richardson Thanks a lot Steve! I do my best!
I second that.....great stuff.
I learn more watching his videos than I did at my trade school.
I LOVE THIS GUY!!! Ground-level, simple to understand, very thorough. Well done!!!
i can't thank you enough for the way you keep things simple and not have to hear yourself over talk. I recently watch a video for a 3 minute fix that was 14 minutes long. to much blah blah blah(which seems to be the norm). Obviously, your vids are not for the completely inexperienced, but for most of
diy, perfect. Thanks again and keep up the good work
I like that he doesn't spend the first 10 minutes of every video lecturing the audience before showing us anything and that he actually shows how to do it with mostly basic hand tools to prove that it can be done when so many videos go right to the impact wrench assuming that everyone has one. I love my air tools and they were a great investment but not everyone can afford a set nor can they be used in every situation.
I gotta tell you Chris, I love your videos. I love how you explain things. You are among the top 3 people I enjoy listen to here on youtube. You're a good man Chris.
I couldn't stop laughing when the mount hit him he soullessly said ow
Me too man 😂😂. He is funny.
Same!! Hahahahah
@@alastair_the_lyon minute?
i only came to the comments after that happened
"Ow" is said by me every 5 minutes when I'm fixing things on my own car!
Chris Fix you are awesome dude, you give a person the knowledge that they can do it themselves with a little discipline I really do appreciate all the videos you do for everyone. thanks again
I like these instructional videos. I do have some doubts about when you say if you can change one, you can change them all. I do think certain vehicles have differences that can make them substantially more difficult.
Thank you, the wrench trick is something I never knew about before. I’ve gotten by on tapping the wrench with a hammer, but often there’s barely any room to do that. Going to double up on wrenches from now on.
Very well explained! Chris is an excellent instructor.
Love it! You saved me $500.00 that the mechanic wanted from me.
+Hamady Ba Awesome! I am glad to hear it!
Mine wants over $1,000. Luckily, I have my Chris fix Batman light I shine onto the clouds when I need help! Thanks Chris
Fantastic, you have a gift for demystifying this stuff mate. So many times I've read things like '"Oh, just remove the motor mount and drop the engine down" - but if you don't even know what a motor mount looks like to begin with you can start descending down a never ending rabbit hole and forget what problem you were originally trying to solve lol :-)
I love that you don't just show how to replace a mount - but WHY you might need to as well and what could happen if you don't. It's important information often missed by others. Money was tight growing up with just my mother and we only ever took our car to the mechanic when it was broken. I thought 'maintenance' was an oil change once a year. Best wishes from New Zealand, 2021.
Chris, you and realfixesrealfast are the only one's I've seen work on windstars, which is what my wife drives. I now have a clear understanding and confidence that I can do some of the work myself, AND I'M NOT EVEN A MECHANIC!!!! Thanks so much for putting in the time to show great instructional videos for guys like me. Keep up the great work! Take care.
moneygeewtee Thanks a lot man! I am glad my videos have helped! That windstar has 300k miles on her so you know it is being maintained lol. I will have a new video soon on how to replace the rear window defroster switch and also how to diagnose what is bad. New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
Looking forward to it. Thanks again Chris. Take care.
I will probably never do this in my life but I really enjoy this video and your other videos. You are very knowledgeable and talented both as teacher and cameraman. Very interesting to watch! Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I am glad you learned a lot!
I do the same, probably wont ever do it but its fun to watch and learn
same to me, will not gonna do it by myself but sure it is helpful to identify the problem and deal with the workshop
I did it looks good
Chris Fix your video was very helpful. Going in I didn't have a clue as to the complications I would be facing as a DIY job. You showed very clearly what has to be done and now I need to decide 1) let a mechanic do it and pay through my schnoz or 2) do it myself. Thanks again,
Al
Watching his new videos, compared to this older one, his camera style and presentation styles are similar, but quite different at the same time. His enthusiasm is way higher in his newer videos too. But great work. I have to replace the motor mounts in my wife's VW Routan. This should help.
Thanks!
Great video, well done. Laughed when you pried out the mount and yelled ouch.
Thanks Brian!
marvel
Lol *wap* "ow, little painful there but"
I died 😂😂
Wap lol
Lol
Love that you torque everything and you don't drive in all your nuts and bolts with an impact wrench. Those things save time but they put too much pressure on the nuts and bolts.
Thanks! It also makes it impossible to get off if when you tighten them with an impact wrench!
If you over-torque them then yeah, that's why I specifically bought an impact wrench with multiple settings so that I could use it to remove bolts and drive them back in but drive in just enough that the torque wrench is used to finish the job. I've also found that I've less likely to break the head off a bolt with the impact wrench than with a breaker bar, never broken one with the impact driver and if I'm worried just start on the lowest setting and work up until it finally starts turning.
It would be cool if you made a video on how to maintain your tools. Like the floor jack you got.
Just came back only to review 2-open-wrench trick! Saved me time, nerves and money! Thanks, you're a real pro!
ChrisFix Great video!! At this point I'm just watching your videos on how to fix things I don't need fixed. Thank you, hope to see more of your quality work!
thanks Raul. I'm glad you are learning a lot. Now if you have a problem then you will know what what to do!
Thanks for the video man! I just brought a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe to Costa Rica and it had been vibrating and knocking like crazy especially when the tranny is in D. The mechanic jacked it up and it was exactly the same thing. I enjoy your videos very much.
Scott Cabrera Glad the video was helpful Scott!
good point on not jacking up on oil pans... they will cave in and can destroy seals.
got it
So where do I jack engine from bottom so I can take weight off the mounts to loosen bolts 🤦🏾♂️
That was an excellent instructional video. Clear, concise without a bunch of needless (the ow! was definitely needed!) chatter.
Glad it was helpful!
you are a very good mechanic I am 56 years old but don't know a lot about cars you make it look so easy.
Filmed, explained, and demonstrated perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad the video was helpful!
Great tutorial, as all of your videos. Everything is straight forward and clear for the vehicle you are working on. I am going to lift 1-2 inches the engine on RX 350, 2015 to get access to the one of ATF pan bolt, which is blocked by sub frame. Unfortunately, I don't have that solid place to put my jack, and I would never place the jack under the ATF or oil pan, despite there are a lot of videos with the jack under the oil pan. My question is can I jack up a bit the engine by placing the jack under the transfer case. It looks for me like a solid place.
you're videos are very helpful,makes me work on my car from now on thanks.
very educational video. I love it. Everyday I learn something from u. Thanks you very much!
Thanks and perfect! Glad it is educational! Love hearing this!
Nice to see a very clear video accompanied by very clear instructions - thanks from the uk!
This is exactly why I love TH-cam. I googled how to change motor mounts, and it brought me to this video. I have a silver 1997 Ford Windstar that is silver, a carbon-copy of the one in this video except for the rims. I am looking to sell mine but I have a few issues (one being the motor mounts), the others are the rear AC fan seems unbalanced (makes a loud humming sound), the drivers door glass rattles when you shut it (probably a plastic clip or something), and the speedometer fluctuates. ChrisFix What's your opinion of the speedometer and the rear AC fan?
***** Great! Glad the video was heplful! The AC fan probably has debris in it which is why it hums. That is an easy fix and I am publishing a video on that next week. It is on my other ford, but it will be the same idea. The speedometer can be a bad sensor or a bad gauge.
First of all Chris, thank you SO much for your videos! You have no idea how much they have helped me! But was wondering if I could ask you a general question? What would make my 2011 Lexus is250 “wander” on the highway? Almost like it’s being blown side to side by the wind? I have replaced everything I can think of and nothing is helping! I thought if anybody knew, it would be you! Thanks again for lending us your skills and knowledge!
Don't need to change out a motor mount. But, I enjoy your videos, they've been very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Would be awesome to see a video on how weightloss in a car would effect mpg, there are a lot of videos on how much performance u gain but i wanna improve my mpg and wondering if replaceing the seats wheels exhaust with lighter versions will make a noticable difference
I love when things go smoothly
Love your videos man, have done some repairs following your videos. Just one thing...your normally a lot more enthusiastic in your videos, that's one thing i love about your videos... hope you come back to your normal self
love this channel, subscribed right away. i2012 nissan sentra SR, ive had multiple repairs with my car, last mount to do is the transmission mount i suppose because i am still having this exact problem. i also have a brake problem now, looks like it could be the rotors because of the steering wheel vibration is severe now when braking, im just hoping it is anything worse like an axle or something. the fun never stops ....
I still think its Kevin Bacon doing these videos. LOL Chris your the man.
Lol thanks!
"So now, I'm just gonna, pry that out- ow!"
😂
This helped a lot on my 01 Taurus. Almost exactly the same except I needed to remove some of the inner fender to get the clearance needed to jack up the motor. Started without an angle grinder and now I have a new corded(ftw) dewalt that will last for many years...and a little less fender. Thanks Chris
Eric Hillesheim Awesome! Glad the video was helpful and nice work getting the job done!
yo, you re vids are the bomb diggy, most of these jobs I thought had to be done in a garage, you're just out there chillin makin engineers look bad...love this stuff duude
Glad the videos are helpful!
Thanks a lot for a wonderfully clear explanation, Chris. I was able to change my 2001 Windstar's front and rear engine mounts and driver's side transmission mount successfully thanks to you. You earned a thumbs UP and a subscriber.
It seems like every time I have a problem i think to myself “did chrisfix make a video on this?” And of course Chrisfix saves my butt again. Thanks Chris
Thank you so much for this video I was lookin at shelling out 300 or more to a mechanic because I had never had to replace these, I was wondering if you had to disconnect anything like wires or hoses before jacking the transmission and/or engine up?
This was my next job,had a bad feeling about it but not now,thanks as always.
This was a great video and really makes me wonder if the transmission shop I went to last week gave me a quote to rip me off because I'm female. The part was $480 and LABOR was $833 - and that was just for ONE mount. This is why I still toy around with the idea of becoming a mechanic and opening up a female employed mechanic shop. Thanks for the video :-)
+Julie O'Neil Hopefully they didnt take advantage of you :( but I am glad the video was helpful!
He makes it look so easy thanks for the info!
How high can the engine be lifted? How do I know when to stop jacking
Pac 84 you want to lift it minimally. Just lift it to where you can get the mount off. You don’t want to break any wires or hoses or anything that’s attached to the engine and frame by lifting it too much. Hope this helps
@Bruce Lee he says that in the video
@Anonymous Anonymous so jack the engine up as lil as possible I’m not changing mounts I jus need to loosen it a lil to get the starter out
Would you suggest putting thread locker on the 2 engine mount bolts + 1 engine mount nut, to prevent them from coming out from excess vibration?
Or should the Engine Mounts + Shock Absorbers prevent any serious vibrations from reaching those bolts?
Also, Love your Videos, they're very informative, keep up the great work!
This video is so helpful for the engine mount replacement I'll have to do on my truck soon. Thank you very much! One question. At what point did you use the jack stands? I may have just missed it in the video. Thank you!
Always use Brakekleen or such to clean bolt threads (and the threaded hole) before applying thread locker. The grease/oil won't allow the thread locker to seize the bolt in the hole.
Clear, voice, tools, actual binds and fixes. Great communication!
Thanks Ed! I try to do that with all of my videos!
Smashing video.
Like the overdubbing for extra points and bits not said at the time :)
Cant really get in with a torque wrench in limited spaces, i dont think it matters chris, as long as you "Make the special face" while tightnng the nut, or for older people "The noise" as well lol.
I make the noise when I break bolts but I usually edit that noise out! Hahaha, thanks bud!
“So now I’m just gonna... pry that out, Ow!!!” That was the highlight of the video
I paid a mechanic 1600 dollars and they didn't even last a year after he replaced them. Im going to fix them myself, thanks Chris for showing me how.
Darn! But now you can make sure the job gets done correctly!
This was helpful. I am about to start this myself. Probably won't finish in ten minutes though..... Thanks!
+Bryan Barnash glad the video was helpful
Any more videos featuring your '96 Corvette would be greatly appreciated. Too bad it's a daily driver. You could probably do an entire series on C4 corvette repair and easily have a gazillion eyes glued to your videos (well a gazillion more I should say). Thanks for all the information you've provided to date. TCOY! Happy Thanksgiving!
Damn you make things look easy. I hope I have this much ease with my Taurus
Hey chrisfix must a pain working on cars with all this rain we've been gettin, we feel like a washing machine here in New England wash, rinse, repeat lol keep up the great work.
a well-edited video !! very good instruction.
Great Video! You provided very clear information and I feel more confident about attempting to tackle this challenge.
Eric Cross Thanks Eric! Glad the video was helpful and made you more confident in fixing the problem! Let me know how it goes! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
Burnt the hell out of my hand now i can't service my car. Going through your Vids is getting me excited to get back at it. You da best
😂 you can tell he's more enthusiastic in the newer videos but the videos are still amazingly filmed and very informative👌🤘
I have jacked up the engine trans combo with using the pan as the jacking point in just about all cases, just threw some wood up in there to spread the force. Never had a pan fail before.
Thanks for the info. I was always taught not to and so I dont have people destroying their oil pans I recommended not to do that lol
Thats cool, we all have been taught to do somethings different from another but take a moment and look at a transmission jack, it mounts right up to the pan.
Haha good point. Yea, I guess if you distribute the weight correctly you can do it that way too!
Excellent video. Thanks for producing it. And I love the double open end wrench tip.
Joe D Thanks! Glad you learned something new!
Very nice and clear good work thank you Chris Fix
I have a 2003 Honda Accord V6 and It has two transmission mounts at the bottom of the driver side that are both a very tight fit. Damn Honda's usually have a lil room to work with lol. I got some useful information from this video. I'll be doing the work possibly tomorrow. I can't find any how to videos for my car either.
super tip extending wrenches for leverage..real nifty...thanks.
Good job on these videos. Very informative and easy delivery.👍🏻
This is scary to even think of doing at home!! Well done!
thanks for the video. you just helped me fix my 3.8L lincoln. major props.
+scott koepp awesome!
Just awesome i don't have the same car but this help so much!!! Thank you !!!
great vid when that transmission mount came off tho made me LoL xD
Hey Chris what happened to the old mazda? I liked those videos because they were similar procedures to my Ranger. Do you do videos on how to fix things as the problem arises? But never the less I love all these videos. You get the general idea on how to fix things. Which improves my knowledge on the mechanic side and decreases the money on my wallet side. Thanks for everything!
I still have the B3000. I fix my cars and friends cars as they break. So sometimes it will be the Mazda or the Corvette or this Van or my friends BMW or whatever the case. I am glad you are learning and the videos are helpful. Thanks for the feedback!!! It is great to hear when viewers find my videos helpful!!! I have a few good Mazda videos in the loop so stay tuned!
Chris you make it seem easy like I can do this! Thank you man. I appreciate you.
great simple easy to understand...thx for making point of jacking engine/trans on solid part not the drip pan
zzgolf Thanks and no problem! I try my best to give solid information (get it, solid haha).
Thanks again chris, you inspired me a lot. I saved thousands of dollars fixing my car.
Awesome Riiaq!!! I am glad the video was helpful!
Great video! Do you recommend aftermarket motor mounts or OEM?
+Kenyon Hicks thanks. If it's a lot cheaper, aftermarket is fine in most cases.!
Hi Chris, really wish you'd do some work on some bigger German cars, like BMW/AUDI/MERCEDES. SOME PEOPLE have these cars and would love to see these kind of videos so we can work on our own cars. That'd be amazing?
Thanks man this helps a lot 👍
Hello Chris I really appreciate the details and how you explain things in your videos! New video you said your vehicle has 300000 miles on it I want to ask you if you take care of your vehicle keep up the maintenance can you put 1,000,000 miles on a vehicle? Chris can you please do a video on how to change the transmission fluid on a c4 corvette? You for your time you have a great day!
Thanks a lot! Essentially you can keep a car running for as long as there are parts for it! Diesel engines can last 500k+ miles and gas engines can last around 400k miles but usually after that they need to be rebuilt. But essentially, you can have a car forever if you take care of it! I wont be changing my tranny fluid in my Vette any time soon I dont think. Unless the fluid is dirty (not pink) or smells burnt I was always taught to not touch the tranny fluid because the tranny is touchy and likes the original fluid! But if my buddy needs his fluid changed (or I need to eventually) I will make a video!
I think this video is one of the few videos that you did not use a wire brush or sandpaper😋.
Great job on all your videos. Now to go get the parts and tools 😅
man you are so helpful I solve 90% of my car problems from watching your videos.
Well Done Chrisfix I have been watching almost all of your videos. I find your videos the best than anyone else on TH-cam. The video of painting the wheels from project police interceptor helped me and I too painted the wheels on my chevrolet beat (called beat in India and spark in other parts of the world). I would wonder how you could work on the car and make nice videos yourself. And yeah you have a nice set of tools. I'm following your videos!
Thanks a lot man, now I have a tutorial to refer to when I give it a go. Do you have any idea how much this would cost for a mechanic to fix?
Connor Harvey Glad the video was helpful. As for mechanic costs for replacing an engine mount, I would call places and ask for a quote because it varies based on where you live and what car you drive.
How is this 7 years ago and crispy clean footage
Awesome video. I had a question for the upper bolt on the transmission mount? what would be the correct tool? to use for torquing to specs instead of just winging it tight? I did notice it would be very tough to put a socket in place on that top mount for twurking 😎 Thank you Chris 👍
I have saved £100's because of you Chris, keep up the great work bro!!
yet another apparently impossible task for a basic skills Diyer to achieve - clearly explained and clearly recorded - Well done Well done Well done
Thanks Robert. It really is not hard with the right tools and know-how.
Interesting...
My Camry tends to move to the right side, also feels not so stable on road curves, sometimes it feels like fliping on me.
Is it Engine mount ? Tie rod ? Shock onserver ? A mix of them ?
Car agent recommends changing the whole car parts !!! Cheaper to buy a new car than taking to car dealer garage...
So what you think it might be ?
Thanks man
Your videos are great.
This was super relaxing idk why.. btw was your car on an incline at any point in the vid?
Great stuff.Very Well Explained.Edified !
Blessing, Chris
you are Teacher
+marcelo encarnacion Thank you!
+ChrisFix i got a 1963 plymith and a 64 chrysler new yorker both need new mounts but i rev the big v8 in the chrysler looking at the mounts thare good but the engine still twist alot more than the car.
is thare anyway i can fix it without welding it soled
I used to have 60s vintage Mopars with 318 engines that broke driver's side engine mounts a few times. What worked for me, was the next time I changed the mount, I used a scrap of chain about 8 or 10 inches long, bolted one end to the frame, (using one of the same bolts where the engine mount attaches to the frame), then twisted the chain to make it the right approximate length so as to allow the engine to lift slightly, but not too much. I then bolted the other end of the slightly twisted chain with the big bolt that travels from front to back through the mount.
I never broke another mount after that. The regular mount allowed it to flex like it should, but the twisted chain kept it from traveling far enough to break the mount.
What a great car owner, 277k miles on the vehicle and still running strong.
Well done....this is simple way of replacing...
Great video Chris! 277k on a Windstar is nothing short of a miracle though 👀
Chrisfix for President👍🏽🇺🇸
You made that look very easy. How much time did that take?
