Sir, this is the finest explanation of everything to be done to remove the transmission. Completely informative step by step video that misses nothing. It absolutely made removing my transmission seamless. A thousand (and more) thank yous for making this task simple. Please continue to make more great videos for major Echo repairs.
Thanks Carson! I am so happy if it helped you out to get your Toyota back on a road not get to the scrap yard. If you have any questions plz, let me know. BZW, thanks for subscribing and watching. Cheers Brotha!
Thanks for the video. Going to be doing a clutch project this weekend with my daughter on her Echo. Hopefully it goes at least half as smooth as your video. Should make for a fun father-daughter wrenching project.
Grant Leslie went good. Had to adjust fire a little for having power steering so the lines had to be disconnected before dropping the subframe. Also my subframe (2000) didn’t have the long trailing bars as pictured in the video. So it runs great now. And we just finished replacing the shocks on all four corners so it rides great too.

With this Echo, you have to take down the sub-frame. The part absolutely not necessary is taking out the radiator, rad support, idle air control, throttle body, hood latch and so on. You also don't have to take out the sway bar. You can leave it in, attached to the tie rod ends, and just unfasten the swaybar bushing brackets from the sub-frame. Also, on the transmission mount at the right front, all you need to do is remove the 3 bolts into the transmission. The rest can be left in place. Watch Uncle Tinman's video on the same subject....and he does a much more efficient job at replacing the clutch on this car.
A brilliant video. My daughter in-law is having gear box trouble with a Yaris. I've done a few clutches on rear wheel drive cars over the year's, basically you can do them sleep walking. To save my son a bit of money thought we might have a go at this on her car. I haven't done this for year's, might give it a go. 🤔
@@PistonShack not bad at all, thanks for asking. I'll certainly tune in to your clips if I get stuck! Many thanks again and look forward to your updates etc. All the best👍
@@PistonShack I tried removing the the gearbox fluid empty bolt 24”nut it is supper tight. I stopped avoiding stripping it. How can I get loose with basic tools?
You're very welcome, brotha! Well, I raised the vehicle up about 12'' inches. Just enough to pull the sub-frame and gear box out. If you have any other questions please let me know. Cheers!
Hi i have a toyota yaris too but its the t sport with 1nzfe engine, im struggling on removing the subframe as there power steering fluid cables attached to it
Hey, Tom. There's two ways to go: 1) leave power steering hoses hooked up and undo the steering ruck from the sub-frame. Check the video: VW Golf MK3 gearbox removal - you can do exactly the same on Toyota; 2) flush power steering fluid and disconnect return and pressure lines from the rack. Let me know what worked for you or if you have any questions. Cheers!
Good detailed video mate. Is this is a 1.4 engine? I'm surprised of the amount of work for a clutch change in this relatively simple car. You've disassembled almost everything in the engine bay. Never seen a radiator has to be removed for changing the clutch.
Hello iv took lots of parts off my yaris an nearly ready to lift the engine out. Can you give me any advice to dissconwct the fuel line please ? I moved the nlack pladtic housing off but i dont know to to dosconnect the line itsel ?
Hi Jack! Are talking about fuel tube connector (quick type)? There's few steps: 1. Remove the fuel pipe clamp. 2. Check if there is any dirt like mud on the pipe and around the connector before disconnecting them and clean the dirt away. 3. When the connector and the pipe are stuck, pinch the retainer between the hands, push and pull the connector to free to disconnect and pull it out. Okay, for the metallic type of connector you need to get one of this tools: OTC 6509 Fuel Line Disconnect Tool or similar type. Cheers!
Pistonshack. Hello. Thank you for sharing the videos. It's very helpful. I have a question concerning my Toyota aygo 2006 double gear box.(manual/automat) there is a beeping sound coming from the dashboard. Been told that it is my double gear clutch box. Very annoying beep sound. Could you help? Thanks
You're very welcome Martin! What kinda beeping sound is that? I don't understand. It could be number of things. Can you record the sound and send me the link to your TH-cam) Thanks.
Hello mate i have now brought an engine crane to take out the enginr on my yaris. But found that the emgne doesn't have any lift hooks. Any ideas what i can do ??
Hi Jack, There's two ways to do it: 1) install engine hangers, what Toyota recommends,one at the front above the alternator, second one at the back of the engine near to 4th cylinder - I don't have them, it means it won't work for me; 2) get strap hooked up how I did on the video to support the engine at the back near the bell housing; second one run at the front of the engine. Kinda like that. Let me know what you figured out or if you have any questions. Stay warm!
Hello mate i really dont like to keep bothering you. But i look on ebay an the chery pickers are afew hundred pounds. After i took the engine out of car, i was going to take it apart an rebuild it anyway, so would it make much difference , if i just take apart an remive it from the car, instead if buying a cherry picker ?? Thanks
Hi, Jack. No worries. You're welcome!You can use almost any type of lift but to match engine and transmission could be challenging. I thin you can get it done. Yeah, let me know how your progress is going. Cheers!
Very nice video...I wish you could show the new clutch installation and re-install gear box with motor in one video. Also did you adjust the throttle position sensor when putting back the throttle and how you adjusted? I guess your Iddle air control valve was good as well?
Hi, Jack! Yaris has three engine/transmission mounts. One behind, one on the gear box side at the front and one front of the engine. You might need to remove crankshaft pulley to get enough room to pull the engine out. Cheers!
@@PistonShack ok thank you very much mate . Do you think its pissible i can take out the engine in bits , instead of buying a crane an pulling it all out in 1 block ?
The 1NZFE Yaris automatic is easy to maintain long term. Just drain and replace fluid if the environment is not too dirty or the vehicle wasn't abused.
Hi Bruce! Yeah, FWD vehicles little bit more time involved due to design) I'm glad this video became so helpful to so many people around the globe! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers)
Hi Dave! Yeah, if you have warm and dry place to get it done, that's way to go. Well it took me good time to replace the clutch. Little bit a work involved) Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello Halide, Thanks for sharing your situation. Also, to separate O2 problem from the lean condition check if your Short fuel trim showing ECU adding extra +30% fuel to correct value. Add propane to the intake right after the air filter to see if your sensor responding to the extra fuel added. If your voltage went up to 1000mV sensor is responding but you don't have respond at your O2 sensor (shows 0) this is not lean condition. We have a bad sensor. It could be wiring problem down to the sensor, check signal wire for shorts to the ground will pull signal down. Bad ground on sensor will run voltage up. Replace sensor always with factory made one. Cheers brotha!
@@funposting8912 Oh, that's fine! You do it quick as possible plus save part you need and leave good parts for other pickers as well. Thanks for watching.
I guess you would need to do all that and much more to remove a manual transmission and replace with an auto transmission? Used parts would be cheap but unless you do it yourself it would cost a bundle I think.

@@PistonShack Here is my video th-cam.com/video/FhRDleas2zI/w-d-xo.html As you can see i didnt even remove the driveshafts from the car and the shock absorvers are off cause i wanted to change them too , its not necessary to remove them for the gearbox.Also i removed the throtle body and the radiator fan cause i have a custom intake manifold and couldnt unbolt the starter,if i had the oem manifold that wasnt necessary either.It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to take it out
I dont understand ; WHY remove all that , wasting time and what you removed unnecessary. Drain cooling, removed idle t , and so . It’s very easy to access the gearbox without removing all . 🤦🏻♂️
Hi Kamal! Have you change your clutch without dropping subframe? Interesting point, it probably depends what engine do you have under the hood. There's literally no room to remove pressure plate and change release bearing. Thanks for you feedback. Bzw, make short video how did you do it.
Agree with you. The radiator, rad support and hood latch, throttle body definitely did not need to be removed. It's easy to work from under vehicle, once on jack stands. The sub frame removal might be necessary. The rest is a waste of time and energy. Also, not necessary to remove tie rod ends or swaybar. The cv axle comes out simply from removing strut bolts and wheel hub bolt. This repair likely took way too long than was necessary. The bushings on the sway bar ends can be reused, if not cut. Not bad to replace them, but there is really no need to cut them. They can be removed easily without cutting them.
