Bleeding the clutch is a big task. Before installing the bell housing I made sure I bleed the clutch slave cylinder so I knew it was not bad and worked. Then I installed the bell housing without the pipe attached to the slave cylinder(the clutch was bled completely at this point). As I was tightening the bolts for the bell housing brake fluid was squirting out. After installing the bell housing only a few pumps bled the slave cylinder. I did this as the first slave cylinder I bought was bad and malfunctioning.
If you ever find yourself doing this again, you actually don't have to pull the passenger axle at all if you're careful and just pull the trans towards the driver side!
@@jun_1248 yeah there's a few tricks I figured out, if you're just replacing clutch/flywheel you don't even need to drop the subframe entirely... I disconnected the steering rack from the subframe but left the tie rods connected to the hubs, loosened all the subframe bolts so there's just a few threads left... Removed the main subframe bolts on the driver side entirely and just pulled the thing to the side, left me more than enough room to work on the motor side of flywheel/clutch replacement
Did you have any trouble with your gear position of the shift lever when you reassembled it? I can't get mine to go into reverse. And the other gears feel stiff. Any ideas what I did wrong?
I didn’t have any issues with the gears or the shift lever. I only had issues with bleeding the clutch. Did you replace the clutch disc or just the slave cylinder.
@@oneshawnsay I read the repair manual and it says, “hard to shift or will not shift” could be due to 1) wrong oil or 2) oil level high 3) shift control linkage worn.
@@jun_1248 I figured it out. The reverse selector cable had came loose from the braket. Once I secured it properly it worked fine. Thanks for your response.
Thanks for the video by the way... I have been using it as a guide to do the same job for myself.

Here is a small video of my setup to test if the slave cylinder is good before installing everything. th-cam.com/users/shortsSdsfOeMQhqM?feature=share
@@jun_1248 Nice... I already slapped mine together last night. Ibshouñd have done it this way.
@@jun_1248 I tore up my transmission mountain yesterday removing it and need to buy another one today.
@@abrahamhdz if the slave cylinder works and is bled then you should be ok.

Even I thought of this but others suggested to remove both the axles in order to remove the transmission housing.

@@jun_1248 if you're pulling the whole trans yeah it's just easier to remove the axle entirely from that bracket in the back side of the motor
How did you remove the shift linkage from the transmission? Did you just pry it off until it popped off?
Yes but it broke(cracked a bit) in the process. I am still using it as is with the small crack.

@@jun_1248 I replaced clutch and slave cylinder.

what's the plate called that was shown at 9:53 seconds
@@GeisWorks I think this plate can be removed to inspect the condition inside the bell housing without removing everything.
@@jun_1248 Alright thank you, my brake fluid/clutch fluid started leaking out from that plate im trying to figure out how i can make it stop leaking.
@@GeisWorks may be your slave cylinder(csc) is busted.
@@jun_1248yea thats what i was thinking. im gonna replace it
This video is gonna save me thank youuuuu!
