Decided to video a typical throwout bearing/clutch replacement pull. The whole job can take anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on your skill level and tool availability. I have pulled hundreds of transmissions, don't expect your first one to come out this quickly.
Tools Used (not all necessary):
1/4 Drive Snap-On Ratchet
1/4 Drive Snap-On 10mm Socket(for battery terminal, 10mm box wrench does the trick)
3/8 Drive Snap-On Flex Head Ratchet
3/8 Drive Snap-On 3" Wobbleplus Extension
3/8 Drive Snap-On 14mm Socket
3/8 Drive Snap-On Electronic 14v Cordless Impact
3/8 Drive Snap-On 10mm Impact Deep Socket
3/8 Drive Snap-On 12mm Impact Deep Socket
3/8 Drive Snap-On 14mm Impact Deep Socket
Snap-On 14mm Open End Wrench
Snap-On 12mm Open End Wrench
Pittsburg 14/12mm 12 point slanted end wrench(used on the driveshaft bolts)
Gear Wrench 14mm Ratcheting Box Wrench
Snap-On 2ft Braker Bar
Snap-On Hose Tool
Snap-On Long Clip Tool
Mac Push Pin Pliers
1/2 Drive Pittsburg 30mm 12 point socket(for putting in back of trans)
1/2-3/8 Snap-On Conversion (used to plug the 30mm socket)
1 Can of PB Blaster
Harbor Freight Pogo Jack

It doesn't always go this easy. Even with this car, from a new unfamiliar customer, I had to deal with bolts that usually take 10 seconds to remove, and they ended up taking 5 mins, because someone installed the front pipe incorrectly. The dowel pins on the block were also slightly seized, but nothing too bad. Attempt at your own leisure.
Always impressed with Technicians that work
efficiently with such care, much respect! Some commentary on what you’re doing and things to look out for in future videos would be very helpful, thanks for the video!
Thank you!
I love how the video is clearly around 20 minutes long and he shows the process 100%. He really does mean 20 minutes!
One stuck bolt and a rolling tool tray away from a 10 minute job...beast mode engaged. Nice work.
Sure would be nice to have someone like you do a full DIY video of a trans pull, clutch/flywheel/throw out bearing replacement with trans re-install. I’m in the middle of doing it myself right now and it’s a bitch from the garage floor on jack stands.
says hes out of shape then solo pushes a car in the shop lol
I'm still strong, I just also like to consume donuts!
on a slanted surface at that
This car is very light and insanely easy to push around solo. I'm 5'9 and 155lb have no trouble pushing mine around in garage lol
"how to remove a transmission in 20 minutes" spends 10 minutes removing one bolt 😂
Lmao I know right this was hilarious. He could have literally done a clutch job in like an hour, hour and a half?
His 20 mins are all crapped up. 😆 It takes like 3 or 4 mins to remove the the starter motor , 😀
@@sobizzr Not with power tools it doesn't. 😆
Classic
Great video! just blew my throw out bearing at the Roval few days ago. About to tackle this job and this helps me plan ahead on what I need to do 👌
My throw out bearing is starting to go bad, but I definitely don't have the confidence to pull this off
Nice, I just got done doing a clutch and throwout bearing, and pivot fork in my garage. No lift, used 22" jack stands. Exhaust, drive shaft...its all gotta go...yay
GREAT video dude, I could feel your frustration with that damn exhaust bolt. That's why I used antiseize on every exhaust....it takes 5 seconds.
That's some idiot putting SAE thread nut on a metric stud. Happens all too often when you let shadetree work on your car.
I wish all mechanics were like you!
The POV perspective and heavy breathing do it for me 💯🙌❤️ love the video !
Amazing car. Easier to work on than an older Wrangler.
Like the lay out of your work shop small and simple
Thank you! I spend a lot of time here, so I wanted it to be perfect.
You should get a small rolling cart so that you can keep your most needed tools and bolts and things with you under the car so you don’t have to walk back and forth so much
I've got a couple carts actually, but at the time, they were full of other crap!
Damn bro, your driving car from outside with engine off skills are BEAST MODE. A+++
How did you pull this without removing the center console and shift knob?
Trvpstar he disconnected the shifter from the trans before he took it out.
My FRS almost killed me with this issue , Toyota really needs to issue a recall due to this problem. The clutch fork and throw out bearing are incredibly weak and not properly lubricated from the factory. I have a video on my channel explaining this more.
What happened? Also where's the video I wanna know more
Thats a sick shop space
I just love how this video is presented in real time even losing ten minutes to that F'd up exhaust bolt that wasn't your fault.
Beastly!! Thanks for the clip!
Yo man this video Save the Day also I ratchet strapped the motor back so it helped me put the transmission back in easily I put a dual friction Puck Style eBay clutch in since this is number 5 and I'm only at 30,000 miles.. whole Job 3 hours and I was driving.. glad I didn't pay Subaru 1200 again
Hardest part was getting it up on jack stands and I did the whole thing on my back thanks again my friend
What the crap 5 clutches in 30k? that's nuts
12:17 i know the feeling
Really appreciate the tool listing, subbed my man! The pov works.
Neal is a Master of this Platform!
took me 3-4 hours, but I only had jack stands 18inches off the ground and not a lift where I can stand under it
Thank you for this. Doing this today 🤪🥸
great video! thanks!
Nice weathertech floor mats just ordered some
So you can essentially drop the transmission without taking out all the trim inside the cabin for the shifter? If so that's great!
Edit: just saw that someone had already asked that. That's good to know now
daaaaaaamn you fast !
Appreciate the video brotha !
GOAT
For anyone confused about how he dropped the transmission without taking apart the interior and shifter: th-cam.com/video/ipQOjL4Z-Mw/w-d-xo.html
Finally audio again lol how long were you cussin dude out? Geez. But I feel you brother
Hey boss I’m about to do this tomorrow what’d you throw into the back of the transmission when you were about to drop it and took out the drive shaft ? It looked like a socket
Great looking content. Think you did a lot of your very own coding.
It would be awesome to get a response, but I am late to the party.
The object you stuck into the tail housing, was that a plug you had on hand to stop the oil from leaking.. Or is that the a stub shaft that came off of the drive shaft?
Also, how many miles were on that car that the throw out was so wrecked? I am getting some concerning sounds from my clutch area but the car only has 50k miles on it.
1/2 Drive Pittsburg 30mm 12 point socket(for putting in back of trans)
1/2-3/8 Snap-On Conversion (used to plug the 30mm socket)
This car had around 60k Miles, which is typically the standard I am seeing for failure on these cars. The cause is from a poorly spec'd OEM bearing with grease that cannot handle any heat. The 2017 updated bearing is supposed to be a fix.
The Racers Line
That's awesome news (kind of) I have been feeling like the car has bee getting hard to drive and the bearing making some shitty noises.. I'm right at 60k miles too.
Guess it's time to pony up and do the swap, thanks for the reply!
If you ride the clutch you're killing clutch and throw out. Riding clutch makes lots of heat! Which kills throw out.
doing this in a couple weeks... i noticed you didnt remove anything interior to disconnect the shifter? just disconnect it from underneath?
It can all be done from under the car! Just two pins in the shifter carrier and one clip in the shifter itself (under a rubber cover normally, this car was missing that)
The Racers Line I just watched a Chris fix video and he wanted us to remove stuff from inside the car. Interesting that on the twins it can all be done from under the car.
Eeyup. Here is a video showing those 2 pins and the clip. th-cam.com/video/ipQOjL4Z-Mw/w-d-xo.html
Hey man great work on this video. at 16:48 what did you pop off on the driver side of that trans. On the passenger side I see the clip you popped off and pulled out. I assumed there was one on each side but my car has an Allen socket on the driver side opposite that pin. My car is a 2013 BRZ. Let me know if you have any insight.
Hey Paxton, there is a clip on each side. The allen you are referring too is likely the detent spring retainer.
Could you give a little more detail? I am doing mine right now. These two tabs simply rotate up an out of the way correct? Then you pull the rubber boot and pin off the back. Is there anything else I need to do to release the linkage? It's hard to tell how it all goes together by just feeling around. So far this job seems supper easy compared to others I've dealt with.
Never mind.. I just took a look at the manual and see you simply rotate these tabs up and then a pin slides out. Why would anyone bother with taking the interior all apart? Mhh
But you can't get that rear pin off the linkage without removing that boot. To remove the boot you have to take the interior apart. Yeah your video has omitted about 20mins of work. Hahaha
You don't need to remove the interior to remove that pin. You just slide the boot down the shaft, and remove the pin.
Any tips on unmating it from the block? Mine seems so damn stuck. I see you used a pry bar but when i try, it only ends up moving the whole damn engine with it. Doesn't budge.
Spray some penetrating oil on each dowl pin on either side of the trans bell housing, and then smack each one with a punch. If its crusty and corroded that will help break it free!
@@theracersline2953 I ended up getting it off a few hours ago. Did exactly what you said, used pb blaster and smacked it. Thanks!!
6:50 the part of the GT86 that has been manufactured by satan himself 😂
Takes me 4 hours crawling around my garage cursing at the car and all my 14mm sockets and wrenches just out of reach.
haha, 4 hours on the ground still isn't bad
Alright. I am doing my clutch soon for the FA20 WRX. It's mostly similar but minus the front axle removal and transmission fluid flush. I saw you pop the shift cables off like nothing. Any tips on how to remove them carefully and not break them. Thanks !
nice video dude! I'm sure you could have been faster if you used your impact or air ratchet instead of all the elbow grease...also that damm nut really slowed shit down
what is the tool he that plug in to propellershaft end after he removed.please if some one knows tell me.thank you.
Hey! It’s a 30mm twelve point socket in 1/2 drive, with a 1/2-3/8 adapter as a “plug”. Happens to be the perfect size to fit in the output shaft seal without damaging it and allows the transmission removal without fluid loss.
Does the starter not need to come out of the bell housing
Sorry i see it now... i jumped the gun there
minimum 2 hour labor for that god damned throwout bearing
Thats cause he got all that Snap on gear. Lets see him do it with Harbor Freight gear 🤣. Jk well done. K now Imma try and do mine in 2 hours with no lift.
Where's ur shop located? Can I get my clutch done?
Shop is in Concord, CA. www.theracersline.com if you want to get in touch.
We took everything off all bolts the transmission is free but it will not disconnect from the engine we've pried on it and pride on it and shook it and pride on it and it will not move any advice
Make sure the trans is level with the engine. I had same problem and it was due to the trans angle was keeping it stuck to the block. I raised the trans just a little bit and then was able to pry it loose
Really cool video! But talk to us or add some music. It'd be nice to hear you explain what you're doing instead of grunts and heavy breathing. (: all in all, I like the video and I'd like to see more.
Thank you! Definitely will step it up for the next video. The idea for this one came about pretty quickly, and I didn't really prepare well for it. (Go-pro clipped to hat bill) For the next video I'll see if I can add some commentary as well!

The Racers Line when you reach up and pull something from the transmission that connects the shifter fork to it what is it?
No music is good.
@@andrewbutler5569 I assume you are talking about how he disconnects the transmission from the shifter. It's a clip and 2 pins that hold the shifter carrier to the trans. Take a look: th-cam.com/video/ipQOjL4Z-Mw/w-d-xo.html
So you don't have to remove the shifter before hand?
Nope! Just the lower portion, all accessible from under the car.
That's correct. You can disconnect the shifter from under the car: th-cam.com/video/ipQOjL4Z-Mw/w-d-xo.html
What brand impact was that to take off bottom cover?
I'm confused because I thought you had to remove the shift linkage by removing the center console and also, I never saw you drain the transmission fluid??
Nothing in the interior needs to be removed when done this way. I put a plug in the back of the transmission so there is not fluid loss.
Interior does not need to be taken out. Here is a video showing how to disconnect the shifter from the trans from underneath the car: th-cam.com/video/ipQOjL4Z-Mw/w-d-xo.html
What did you stick in the back of the transmission?
A 30mm socket and short extension to keep fluid from spilling out
Sorry to respond so late, but a 30mm should fit snug in the rear seal of the trans.
I did the same thing but I got stuck trying to actually pull the transmission out. Its like its stuck on the input shaft.
That is possible, but it is much more common for the dowel pins in the block to get corroded and stuck. You'll need a big breaker bar on either side and some PB blaster, to free the pins.
If you're "stuck on input shaft" usually your angles are wrong engine leaning forward or not enough support under tranny. Basically input is holding transmission up.
nice helmet camra lol
How did this come out without removing the gear shifter?

where are you in Cali???? I need you!!!!
Concord, CA www.theracersline.com
If you had a tool cart next to you this video would last only 10min, you spend to much time walking, other than that good video buddy, im planning to do the same this week, thanks
what are you unblolting a around 4:08?
The slave/operating cylinder for the clutch.
I seen your passwors....
Where are you located sir?
Concord, CA
Wish you were here in Texas 😂😂😂
The previous installer should not be servicing any cars ever again
you put the pole jack on the header....the fuck.
Done it hundreds of times. It has no effect on the header as there is very little pressure. Without it, the motor will tilt forward and rest on the intake box/radiator fans.
The Racers Line I hear ya I’ve just always placed it on the oil pan with a soft block of wood. Given the cost of a header vs an oil pan if anything were to go wrong I’d rather replace the pan lol. A quality header can cost upwards of 1,000 bucks haha
The headers are thick steel and have a much better point of leverage so a lot less pressure is applied to them. I didn't know to do this on my first one and it made the job miserable.
This video and your work is amazing, very impressed!
David Hettena yeah the factory cast manifold...this is an aftermarket aluminum manifold worth 5x as much. I just would not do it. The stock manifold yeah sure, I’ve done it before. Aftermarket? No way.
Nice workshop. But this is misleading to newies. Time should start from hoisting . Not from prying it out 👎🤓. Out and in with full clutch kit, takes me 3.2 hours inclufing 2 or 3 visits to the toilets.
Not sure what you mean since he started the timer once the car was in the air. Also, you should probably get your prostate checked. 😂
