Thank you so much for your great videos. I am not a mechanic but have always tried to learn everything I can about my beloved and trusty Toyota pickup. It is a JOY to gain more knowledge, so thank you for your patient explanations. 🙂 1992 6-cyl 4WD Xtracab; 2nd motor (1st one went at 326K - head gasket), 3rd clutch; 430,000+ miles and I'd happily drive it coast to coast tomorrow 🙂
I never changed the clutch fluid in my 1992 Nissan pickup, but now I have 2019 Nissan Frontier with manual transmission and I don't have to worry about forgetting to change clutch fluid. The clutch fluid system is part of the brake fluid system.
Had this issue with the previous generation pickup. I had replaced the transmission oil in the summer with the correct weight oil, everything was fine until the temp got below 40F. At freezing you could barely shift into second gear. Toyota calls for a gl-4 oil, I used gl-5 because that’s all I could get locally, and the manufacturer recommended it for gl-4 and gl-5. Long story short, use redline mt90 for Toyota manual transmissions.👍
@jimrossabrena7955 you know there's only four synthetic base oil companies on the planet right?? Use 100% synthetic base oil doesn't make any smoother it's all in your head
@@bigdaddymak1439 eats the yellow metals, yep. All my toyota manual transmissions have been happy with Pennzoil GL4 stuff or even better the Redline MT90.
Nice job. When I had manual transmissions, I used to change the clutch fluid every spring whether it needed it or not. It only takes a few minutes and a small amount of brake fluid.

Thank you for the insight. I have an '04 manual Tacoma. What do you recommend for clutch fluid change intervals? I have just been changing it when it gets dark. About every 50-60k miles. I love that truck and I hope she goes for another 20 years. Best regards
My 2006 Tacoma doesn't have a separate reservoir for the clutch fluid for the slave cylinder , what is the proper way to flush the fluid, last time I only flushed the bcake lines?
I have same 02 Tacoma 5spd manual with 268K and same noise in neutral that goes away when i push in clutch. I thought it was input shaft bearing of transmission. Are you sure thats the throw out bearing?
I have a 96 V6 mt with a very similar noise. It's been there for as long as I can remember. Currently at 452k miles and I'm on my 2nd clutch. The original lasted 318k.
@@riddmkidd Thanks thats what i am thinking too something in trans and should be ok for a long time. My clutch still good shooting for 300K . 318K would be better !!!
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I thought the throwout bearing makes noise when clutch pedal is pressed down. And if it's all the way up and it's still making noise, that's input bearing
I agree, the throwout bearing should only make a noise when the clutch is depressed. When the clutch is not depressed, the throwout bearing is not rotating and will not make any noise (whether it is in good condition or not). My Toyota Hilux makes this noise, I understand it is the layshaft bearings. In gear it makes a howling noise except for a lot lower noise in 4th gear as it is 1:1 gearing and no power is going through the layshaft. It's been doing it for 10+ years. I have changed the gearbox oil a few times over this time to hopefully prolong the bearing life.
Now i just need to know why my automatic does the same thing. Spill and filled twice already and no difference! Fluid comes out RED! When cold though also of course. When at temp it is just like this one and fine!
The clutch fluid in my clutch fluid resinous is black and the clutch works fine l am going to flush the black hydraulic fluid out soon and put fresh new fluid in the reservoir but l have no trouble changing gears in my 1997 Toyota Hilux
Synthetic gear oil in the transmission? Unless it's safe for yellow metals, I wouldn't do that. Usually to hit the GL-5 spec, the additive package is not compatible with systems employing copper alloys. In which case filling that transmission with standard synthetic gear oil... will damage the synchros over time. I do see that product states they are ok for use in pretty much everything... but I don't see anything to back up that statement.
Petr, I am green with envy when I see this authentic Tacoma. I hope you can help to keep it on the road for another 22 years.

GL4 and GL5 same viscosity GL5 has double the EP additives and can damage the synchros.
I agree! I also use Redline MT90 and shifting is a lot smoother than whatever fluid was in before when I got my Taco

An '02 Tacoma! Awesome.
Have you had any luck finding a new garage?
Any update on the Tundra?

When you have one of these trucks you can never come up with a reason to get rid of it. I have a 1998, same color.
even when it become all rusted rotted roached out from the winter salt monster you STILL Really Wanna Keep it going a bit longer lmao
I Have a 1994 Toyota pickup with 22re. Do you know where you can purchase OEM parts for these older vehicles?

The clutch fluid is black because the rubber seals are deteriorating.

Stumbled on this video just now, and maybe it'll help me figure out my own clutch issues on my RX8.
