You have been the biggest inspiration for me to become a mechanic when i can get a job. Every video you make makes fixing cars look so easy and by following every step of yours it actually is. When i help my dad fix his car when there is something wrong with it, then I will bring out the knowledge what you have given me. My dad was pretty impressed when i found the problem. I am really grateful for your videos and you truly deserve way more subscribers than you actually have.
same im only 13 and you got me into cars and when i told my dad (he’s a mechanic) he got extremely happy so yeah Chris you just made a family happy doin what you love keep it up
I love how you take a scary and intimidating job, and turn it into a super simple process that's not daunting at all. I've rebuilt my suspension, engine, transmission, new clutch, rebuilt my diff, etc. All cause of you. My car is track ready BECAUSE OF YOU. Thank you Chris❤

Hey guys ChrisFix here and today I'll be showing you how to rebuild your transmission. All you'll need is some warm soapy wooder, medium strength thread locker, and a potato... 30 mins later And that's how you do a complete transmission rebuild. Me: damn this guy is good Lol love your videos. very thorough
Hey Chris! I’m 16 years old and just took the transmission out on my fwd car and it’s my first time doing something this into the motor thank you so much for encouraging the next generation!!❤
I'm sorry I didn't catch all that the first time, could you please go over it again but this time use my 98 ranger as an example? I promise to watch more closely!
Rangers are pretty easy to replace the clutch, just did my 93 3.0, i didn’t remove the y pipe thinking it wouldn’t be in the way so i unbolted the transmission and found out I couldn’t lower the transmission enough, should’ve removed the y pipe first and would’ve made taking the bell housing bolts a lot easier too
I appreciate all the efforts you put on to make this video available. I can't imagine how you did read many instruction materials, how many hours you've spent behind the screen to collect many many footage to create this ultimate guide. Greetings from Iraq...
I'm not a gear head but this was the best instructional presentation I've ever seen. I deliver technical training in an unrelated field. The planning, the script/ copy, the lighting, camera angles and quality, tips and tricks and your delivery were simply outstanding. You've given me some ideas for my own training presentations. Thank you!
Just wanted to share that because of you Chris I was able to do this job on my 01 Silverado. I’m no mechanic by a long shot but you put it in a manner that is understood. Huge thanks for these videos and the amount of organization that goes into them. Keep doing what you’re doing sir!!
I was going to try this on my '03, but being my only means of transportation, I was absolutely certain there would be some part or tool I would need in the middle of the job, thus stranding myself.
@@thzzzt that's why I recommend watching the whole video first, then doing the work. Sometimes Chris forgets to mention something before he does it. Because of this, I tried to take my radiator cap off my subaru while it was warm and it didn't work out well...
Great video Chris! One super important thing to note for many modern vehicles, if there is a tone wheel for the crank position signal on the flywheel you MUST clock the flywheel properly or the car will NOT start. Learned that one the hard way and I've seen professionals make the same mistake. Like/Pin this post so people don't make the same mistake!!!
Some other tips to supplement this great video: 1. Even with the alignment tool, if it’s a plastic one, the clutch disc will likely sag a little. So before you tighten the pressure plate bolts, make sure the alignment tool is centered in the pilot bearing and level. 2. Some transmissions will have a small amount of play at the input shaft so do some research before buying a new tranny if yours has end play. 3. Another trick to lining up the input shaft to the splines, is manipulating the gear levers and put it in gear then rotate the rear tailshaft until it lines up and fits in. This causes the input shaft to rotate. Then put it back into neutral as you push it in. 4. Don’t hammer in bearing pilot bushings!
My car isn't even broken, but after watching your videos it makes me want to go out there and take things apart since you are so in-depth and great at explaining things I could never understand. You are literally the best car DIY fixer on youtube by far!
How you can remember to explain so many steps and details is amazing. At my age, (64) this would overwhelm me. I’m also a woman, and did not grow up working on cars. This is why boys AND girls should start learning mechanics as CHILDREN!
I just want to say Thank You to Mr. Chrisfix for his very informative videos. I have been a backyard mechanic since I was sixteen and am 55 now. Chris has opened my eyes to the "better" way to tackle car repair. Everything from brakes to valve cover gaskets. Thank you Chris.
While my clutch is a little different and my transmission way smaller, this definitely gave me some useful tips for replacing my clutch! Just got done putting it all back together
Thank you so so SOOO much for this!! I’m learning automatic technology right now and my instructor already shows us your videos but I’ve been having issues with my 2000 Mustang V6 for years, most recently issues with having to replace my clutch.

ChrisFix your videos are beyond professional T.V. grade quality. I can't believe how much time and effort you put into making them. They are TOP notch!! Do you think you could start adding in a ROUGH estimated time needed for the jobs (ex. 4-6hrs, 1 day, a whole weekend, etc)?
Yes, I agree the only thing missing is the time spent. Considering this took two separate videos I am guessing at least 16 hours or two days. It is a huge job and expensive if someone else does it for a reason. Amazing job.
@@chrisfix No, thank you! I am a bit of an amateur car enthusiast who just moved to another country so there's not many people I can ask for assistance around here. When I need to do some repairs on my vehicles, I ALWAYS first come to your channel as it us by far the best (in quality and content). You have saved me heaps of time, money and frustration. Luckily I do have an extra vehicle so time isn't that much of an issue but think it will be extremely valuable to have a rough idea of time so my wife don't get pissy when I tell her it's a 30min job and then only emerging from the garage after many days? Weeks? Months? Oh shit, it's been 4.5 months, gotta go, cheers! And thank you!
Tyler Rough estimates don’t really work well. I’ve done work that was estimated to take the whole day in half that and other times where it was supposed to take an hour or two takes half a day. It’s all up in the air really and for some reason customers get frustrated when it’s out of your control. Shit sucks.

Ill be uploading a new video every Saturday.
Who else remembers back in the day where this man @ChrisFix had trouble installing a windshield? I love being able to see his improvement over the years.
I just want to thank Chris Fix for adding in kg conversions for the rest of us in this universe! Edit: Oh my! Thanks for all of those like, most I’ve ever got
as a mechanic, the organization and cleanliness you maintain while working in your DRIVEWAY of all places, is truly beautiful. puts my coworkers to shame😂 keep up the great content.
Im a teenager and i am a big fan of cars and drifting and every time chris uploads a video i watch the entire thing i love these vids its just satisfying to watch
Chris fix if you can hear this. I’m on the last stage of my engine swap. K24 to BrZ. I went to school and watched your videos. My teacher have been the machine shop and engine builders. I had to fight for information. It is amazing that I come back to your video for the last step in my build. You are so kind for putting these videos up
@noah wolfman its a late upload so you can clearly see the civic. Try to follow his ig because he has a lot of update regarding his drift stang and other car related review. Lol
@@GX2re on his instagram he showed selling the civic. If you want to follow him, it is in the description. You can see it in the video as the filming length was so long.
I’m pretty sure 95% of your regular viewers already know how to do most of the tutorials or have no intentions on ever doing doing it. There’s just something so meditating about listening to you explain things haha
Chris, your attention to detail is second to none. If an individual has problems understanding your videos then they have no business messing around with any machinery...especially a car.
Hey Chris, I just wanted to say thank for all the time and money you put into your videos. You have taught me so much and saved me money. Your videos are always high quality and very descriptive. You have helped many people.
I just wanted to reach out and tell you how awesome you and your videos are for Diys. Being a female , mechanical skills normally are not on my resume but repairs are so expensive I have learned to do many of them myself and finding a video that breaks it down well enough for this to be done is more times than not very difficult , and leads to many trips to the library or hours of searching on line with taking bits and pieces from each source and tackling the job. Your videos always break it down to where I can understand it and you show every step many times I will search your videos and I do it with your video kinda like we’re doing them together like hands on lol. Like the clutch video , it saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of stressful searching. Thank you so much and don’t stop teaching guy it is your calling. .
@brendasmithazgirl2 Kudos to you for repairing your own car! My brain can’t keep up!!! Maybe if I listened ten times and transcribed this video, I MIGHT be able to do what he did!!!
I have a 02 Camry, 2.4 ,high mileage, 5 speed. Have to replace clutch, still use it carefully. I am disabled, I don't have the equipment (what little tools I had were stolen)to do it as I see you do which is fine. I have the parts, just need the rear engine seal. A mechanic was going to work on it, am about 25 miles from Houston. A veteran(as this Veteran referred me to this mechanic, which doesn't call him with updates on car,)friend went to this mechanic for his 07 Infiniti, been there a month so far with this mechanic, though on mine, $ it be workable, now, I don't know where to go, as honest mechanics are rare. Other mechanics/shops are outrageously expensive. I don't have the financial means to do it other than pay it out. That's the main repair I need. You have good videos, easy for me to understand. So I'm praying and looking. So Praise the Lord Jesus. Thanks. Have a blessed day
just buy the books, teachers don't cover most of it anyway. just gotta make sure the writer isn't a dumb a$5; its gotta read like a good scientific study.
I love your video series... each one you breakdown the job at hand in chronological order and in simple language... Thank you for sharing your expertise with great knowledge and enthusiasm.
After watching your video, now I can brag to my friend about how I repair my clutch...even I do not even own a car yet. Looking forward to repairing the speedometer
Bro you legit have single handedly taught me more about fixing my cars in less than a month than my mechanics teacher did in a whole year in high school.. I only knew basic things like spark plug replacement and big easy to reach things like radiators, fans etc.. Never once did he show us how to actually take apart an engine to get to things like the pistons or crank shaft or even bothered lifting any cars to try and show us transmission work 🙄
Wow, I actually have to replace whole transmission on my SAAB 9-3, since it's leaking, noisy and not smooth at all, and what a luck, your video came up and it's so helpful, so thank you so much for that Mr. Chris. And i can see that you put a lot of effort into this video and i really appreciate it. ❤️

Me: **walks into the kitchen to grab bread**
My wife: "ohhhh no no no not the my favorite bread again"
The amount of effort you put in and how in depth your videos are is mind blowing. Greatly appreciate you and your videos
Thanks and I’m glad you recognize the work that goes into it!
Who else remembers back in the day where this man @ChrisFix had trouble installing a windshield?
I love being able to see his improvement over the years.

I actually have to replace my clutch in my 05 suzuki grand Vitara, so this vid hits home, thanks chrisfix😬
Perfect! Glad the video was helpful!
Hey guys crisfix here! Today we will be doing open heart surgery using common hand tools!
Everyone: You can't replace a clutch without specialized tools
Chris: hold my b r e a d

Only pilot bearing need tools.
Clutch can be replaced without them.
I just want to thank Chris Fix for adding in kg conversions for the rest of us in this universe!
Edit: Oh my! Thanks for all of those like, most I’ve ever got
Of course!
Yes i am from europe(UK)
@@chrisfix Can you also add Nm when you mention the torque? Much obliged :D
as a mechanic, the organization and cleanliness you maintain while working in your DRIVEWAY of all places, is truly beautiful. puts my coworkers to shame😂 keep up the great content.
Thanks a lot!
Chris, you should make a 'dont ask me how I know' video showing us how it is you know
Hahaha that’s actually an awesome idea!
Im a teenager and i am a big fan of cars and drifting and every time chris uploads a video i watch the entire thing i love these vids its just satisfying to watch
Thanks for the support
Still don't own a car. Still watch your videos.
Chris fix if you can hear this. I’m on the last stage of my engine swap. K24 to BrZ. I went to school and watched your videos. My teacher have been the machine shop and engine builders. I had to fight for information. It is amazing that I come back to your video for the last step in my build. You are so kind for putting these videos up
it's 4am, i have no car, nor am i old enough to drive, and this is what is am watching. perfect 👌
Did you enjoy the video though?
ChrisFix yes.
same here , mostly
It’s weird but I’m in the same boat as you
Same man
How are the Honda's holding up? Can we get an update on them.
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He sold the civic that his neighbor gave him. (I've seen it in his ig story) but yeah. He only has a del sol now
@noah wolfman its a late upload so you can clearly see the civic. Try to follow his ig because he has a lot of update regarding his drift stang and other car related review. Lol
I would like to know too
@@GX2re on his instagram he showed selling the civic. If you want to follow him, it is in the description. You can see it in the video as the filming length was so long.
I’m pretty sure 95% of your regular viewers already know how to do most of the tutorials or have no intentions on ever doing doing it. There’s just something so meditating about listening to you explain things haha
Me who just bought a Mach 1 that needs a clutch cable and throw out bearing 👀
Chris, your attention to detail is second to none. If an individual has problems understanding your videos then they have no business messing around with any machinery...especially a car.
Friend: “Dude, why do you have bread in your tool box?”
Me: “Bro... pilot bearings.”
Friend: “Gotcha.”
Where the fk does he learn this stuff?
thats too good bro im dead
@@RatusMax Something called... THE INTERNET
i visualized that
I've done the grease trick, never used bread though...
I went from not knowing how to replace blinker fluid to being able to replace transmissions and clutches.
with bread that is
🤣👌🏼
With bread and medium strength thread locker, to make sure those bolts don't come loose from vibrations.
That's hella funny
MomFix- Where’s bread?
ChrisFix-In my clutch
😂
And for his next trick, Chrisfix will show how to use a pizza as a spare tire. (deep dish works better....more tread)
@@junkstough6622 soup as transmission fluid
@@junkstough6622 Dr.Pepper as coolant
Club soda as brake fluid ha ha just kidding u shouldnt do that. That would destroy the engine.
I’ve worked on cars for 35yrs and never seen or heard of that grease and bread method to remove bearing. Amazing you can learn some new everyday!
Pilot bearing: You can't defeat me
ChrisFix: I know, but he can
*bread comes crashing in*
Loool

I did the clutch on my 05 Mazda 3,what a pain in the ass but the reward was phenomenal.
This is what I call high quality content
Thanks Hector!
Lets replace the clutch. and the flywheel. And the pressure plate... and this nut.... you know what lets just get a new transmission.
Lmao
😂😂😂
Chris saved my dad $2000 from this video, you know what you can buy with $2000?
4000 bottles of *soapy wooder*

and a lot of bread and grease!

A car. Really, I paid $2000 for my 96 Mustang GT.
I love how many steps you mention safety during, so many times people may overlook something simple and obtain a serious injury.❤
if only it was as easy as you made it look lol, no siezed bolts, no bloody knuckles, no swearing 😂
Right! 😂😂😂
mhmmmmmm
Swearing itself is good and healthy, nothing beats neutralizing an alarming anger level than a well pronounced swearword.

Hey Chris, I just wanted to say thank for all the time and money you put into your videos. You have taught me so much and saved me money. Your videos are always high quality and very descriptive. You have helped many people.
That’s the goal and comments like this make it all worth it! Thanks for the support!
*How to replace your car's clutch*
"OKAY, WE'RE GONNA THROW OUT THE TRANSMISSION AND BUY A NEW ONE"
Lol
That’s what I said!!!
If used sport clutch plate, the flywheel will need to replace soon.
exactly what i thought 😂 because transimission bearing aren't replaceable
but dat shaft has alot of play tho. wat do you there?
The way you set up your videos and take the viewer through all the steps is extraordinary. Thank you.

Chris is the best tidy and simple mechanic I've ever seen. Thank you Dude.
I just wanted to reach out and tell you how awesome you and your videos are for Diys. Being a female , mechanical skills normally are not on my resume but repairs are so expensive I have learned to do many of them myself and finding a video that breaks it down well enough for this to be done is more times than not very difficult , and leads to many trips to the library or hours of searching on line with taking bits and pieces from each source and tackling the job. Your videos always break it down to where I can understand it and you show every step many times I will search your videos and I do it with your video kinda like we’re doing them together like hands on lol. Like the clutch video , it saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of stressful searching. Thank you so much and don’t stop teaching guy it is your calling. .
@brendasmithazgirl2 Kudos to you for repairing your own car! My brain can’t keep up!!! Maybe if I listened ten times and transcribed this video, I MIGHT be able to do what he did!!!
Chris is even more useful than wd40 :D , man , i love ur channel , thx for ur works
Bro, you should do a ( how to change a automatic transmission) because some people have auto cars and want to change there transmission.
It's the same process, just minus the clutch components.. But, I agree.
william vaughn what about cvt transmissions ?
it is not easy, you need to get a new computer and do a whole bunch of more things. Most people who do it once, never do it again.
How to change an automatic transmission: Swap it for a manual.
If not the whole auto trans, how about a video on replacing the torque converter. Basically the clutch for an auto...?
Next video: how to install new engine with a banana.
lol
Up next: Using milk as brake fluid (100% works!)
Hella funny
Hes so smart.
@@salteengamer4799 It did work.
I have a 02 Camry, 2.4 ,high mileage, 5 speed. Have to replace clutch, still use it carefully. I am disabled, I don't have the equipment (what little tools I had were stolen)to do it as I see you do which is fine. I have the parts, just need the rear engine seal. A mechanic was going to work on it, am about 25 miles from Houston. A veteran(as this Veteran referred me to this mechanic, which doesn't call him with updates on car,)friend went to this mechanic for his 07 Infiniti, been there a month so far with this mechanic, though on mine, $ it be workable, now, I don't know where to go, as honest mechanics are rare. Other mechanics/shops are outrageously expensive. I don't have the financial means to do it other than pay it out. That's the main repair I need. You have good videos, easy for me to understand. So I'm praying and looking. So Praise the Lord Jesus. Thanks. Have a blessed day
Finally! Been watching them Insta Storie's and couldn't wait hehe
hahah awesome!
Wow my jaw dropped on the floor. Thought you’re doing an early April fool episode while you show us the piece of bread.
I HAVE UR JAW COME AND TAKE IT
I learn more here then in school
I can tell...... *than.
just buy the books, teachers don't cover most of it anyway. just gotta make sure the writer isn't a dumb a$5; its gotta read like a good scientific study.
and thats realy sad when u look at it,
Evidently
@@Baigle1 this is actually what I did my whole high school career. I read the books and listened to music all class.
I love your video series... each one you breakdown the job at hand in chronological order and in simple language... Thank you for sharing your expertise with great knowledge and enthusiasm.
Thanks Nathan.
Chris fix just saved me 1200$
@Alex Cobb Heh thought that too on my first self repair. Follow up repair in the worksop cost doubled to fix the mess i made.
Next video, how to make a new car, it's really simple
With bread, common hand tools, soapy wooder, and medium strength thread locker
and a butter knife.

Blue gloves and *HEY GUYS CHRISFIX HERE* phrase, of course.

anyone else feel like an expert mechanic after watching this?
I can't even drive stick and I still feel smarter after watching this.
Every time too
After watching your video, now I can brag to my friend about how I repair my clutch...even I do not even own a car yet. Looking forward to repairing the speedometer
Haha I am glad you are learning a lot!
I don't have a car
But your videos are worth a watch
Really informative
Thanks Chris, now i can replace the clutch on my non existent project car 😒
same
lol same
Honestly one of the most thorough video's of replacing a car part I have ever seen. Great work man. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Bro you legit have single handedly taught me more about fixing my cars in less than a month than my mechanics teacher did in a whole year in high school.. I only knew basic things like spark plug replacement and big easy to reach things like radiators, fans etc.. Never once did he show us how to actually take apart an engine to get to things like the pistons or crank shaft or even bothered lifting any cars to try and show us transmission work 🙄
Almost thought you were messing around when you said use bread for that pilot bearing now I know !!
Wow, I actually have to replace whole transmission on my SAAB 9-3, since it's leaking, noisy and not smooth at all, and what a luck, your video came up and it's so helpful, so thank you so much for that Mr. Chris. And i can see that you put a lot of effort into this video and i really appreciate it. ❤️
Awesome! Good luck and glad the video helps!
Chris is great. His explanations are so clear and helps build confidence and curiosity about mechanical projects. Thanks Chris
Chris, i do not own a truck as EU citizen, but your videos relaxing me how good you are explaining this, even noobs can fit new stuff on their trucks
God damn this vid is so satisfying.. all the surfaces get cleaned, stuff comes off/goes on the first time, no bolts sheared, it's orgasmic
And theres bread...
Never forget your bread...
