I always wonder to myself, wasn't easier to use a shovel dig a little dirt and drag the transmission out, rather than making your life miserable, disassembling more truck components, just my thoughts....!!!
That's alot of work, but you make it look easy. Thanks as always for yet another in depth, easy to follow how to truck maintenance/repair video you took the time to share with all of us wanting to know how its done
Make sure to free up and check all clutch linkage rods. Also a good idea to make sure the rear engine mounts are in good shape. A lot easier to do with the trans removed! Good job!
Usually the rear structure will start leaking oil not long after a trans has been removed and reinstalled. Then you have to pull it ALL apart again. It's a good idea to just replace that gasket while your in there. It's a bunch more work but so is pulling a trans twice.
Great video Ryan greetings from st Thomas UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS in the CARRIBBEAN US TERRITORY i am new to your channel and these videos are very helpful to a journeyman Rookie heavy equipment Mechanic like me my dad was a diesel technician he taught me about heavy duty trucks and earthmoving equipment repair before he passed away so i am PERSUING this dream to become a certified diesel technician and get my CDL for TRACTOR TRAILER TRAINING THANKS FOR THE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION I ALREADY LIKED AND SUBCRIBED THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I like your style and your video. That's called a structural housing. I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job but, You should have ran a dial indicator around that structural housing before you installed that seal. That would tell you if it needed to be replaced that it was running out of square. Due to a lot of torque they can warp. Again in 10 years.I feel pretty certain you'll be one of the greatest mechanics of the greatest. Medicine man retired.
Ryan, to increase traffic, you can add hashtags AFTER your long description, making a space between description and hashtags. Also perhaps add X15 to title. Great job on a big job btw :)
Dumb question ....I have seen videos where they pull the transmission and the clutch out together they rotate the engine and separate the clutch pressure plate thru the access hole ....no idea , maybe something I don't get but it seems easier???
Good job Ryan. I like the way you explain as you go. Straight forward no fluff. One question. Why didn't you just run the truck up on some ramps to get it off the ground a bit. I've seen shop guy use just 2x6 stacked 3 or 3 high and staggered, Drive right up give you 6 to 8 inches clearance.
Good question. Someone asked me the same question the other day! For me, a relatively thin guy, it was enough clearance for me without a ramp. Rising the truck height will make removaland installation of the transmission a more dangerous work.
I didn’t use it for this job. Because there is enough clearance. Plus the higher the truck, the more risky when removing and install the heavy transmission.
Why did you use soap and water to lube the seal? My general rule of thumb is whatever fluid I’m sealing is the lubricant I use on reassembly. This a big truck kinda thing?
Hey Ryan question. Recently I went to turn on my truck and it doesn’t want to go into gear. Any gear , any idea where I should start looking? Solenoids? Clutch? Fly wheel? main seal? Thanks again keep it up super informative. I’m subscribed.
Mate invest in Milwaukee impact wrenches, fart arsing around with air wrenches lol. 3/8 driver will bang those bellhousing bolts no sweet! Always remove the clutch with the box 10x easier!!!
You need to wear a respirator bud dealing with all that clutch dust. It will give you cancer . Been a truck mechanic myself for 13 plus years you need to take care of yourself no one else will.
The main people need to understand is how long it took this guy to do this job. Doing this in your front yard on the ground as he said is not the way to do this.
Enjoy your videos, seems like a big investment to do it yourself unless you own your own shop. I learned a lot watching you !
Dude, thanks for the video. This is exactly what I was looking for

It's just heavy work but not hard . I have replaced many heavy trk clutches. Good job and keep up the good work.
Make sure to free up and check all clutch linkage rods. Also a good idea to make sure the rear engine mounts are in good shape. A lot easier to do with the trans removed! Good job!
Well video one explains all that but you seem to know your stuff too , I’ll take it , knowledge me up .. talk some more 😂

Me encantan tus videos, ya que los entiendo porque apenas estoy aprendiendo inglés.
Muy buen trabajo.

Thanks for video. How many hours to do the job? Just wondering in case I need to give someone a price. Thanks.

Always love to hear your suggestions! And thank you again to point out the mono audio. We look into it and fixed it.
Hi Ryan where can I pick up a jack like that?
Nice job, I 👍 liked
What is the name of the machine you used to bring out the gear and how can I get one?
Love the video Ryan your doing a great job 👍 😉✌️💪✝️🚛🗽🦅🇺🇲
Thank you Tim!
What model clutch caddy do you have? I cant seem to find the one that also has the flywheel plate adapter
Dumb question ....I have seen videos where they pull the transmission and the clutch out together
they rotate the engine and separate the clutch pressure plate thru the access hole ....no idea , maybe something I don't get but it seems easier???
I want to know torque of flywheel and flywheel please?
How do I get the torque specifications for the bolts 🔩 when reassembling?
Good job Ryan. I like the way you explain as you go. Straight forward no fluff. One question. Why didn't you just run the truck up on some ramps to get it off the ground a bit. I've seen shop guy use just 2x6 stacked 3 or 3 high and staggered, Drive right up give you 6 to 8 inches clearance.

Link for input shaft seal tool?
How many hours was that job?
Did you use the handy dandy truck ramps you made for maximum clearance? Great video. 👍
I didn’t use it for this job. Because there is enough clearance. Plus the higher the truck, the more risky when removing and install the heavy transmission.
How much would a job like this cost?
How much is a job like this? Replacing the clutch
ur dpfdp tube look kinck sometime u can have some trouble with this !
what kind of “floor” are using? plywood, sheet metal?
Sheet metal
What's the name of your shop
Fox Truck & Tractor LLC
Why did you use soap and water to lube the seal? My general rule of thumb is whatever fluid I’m sealing is the lubricant I use on reassembly. This a big truck kinda thing?
Your general rule is okay for other seals. But for this specific seal, Cummins specify soap and water.

Sorry for the long delay. Is it a automatic or manual?

Always remove the clutch with the box 10x easier!!!
I am trying to remove the two hoses from my semi manual gear box l remove the two plastic clips but it won't come off
Sorry, I am not exactly sure what hoses and clips you are referring to. Please email me a picture, so we can help!
Hey rayan what kind of catty is it. Which brand and where did you get it. I want to do my rear end and that would be a big help
It is Kiene Diesel brand, bought from tool discount.com

Call the tow truck to lift the truck, or next time put wood under the front tires
Type of engine has nothing to do with removing a gearbox mate, it depends on the truck! Cabover, short nose or long nose.
You don't need any worker's
Good video but this guy talk too much
