I’m a flat rate tech and you just saved me so much time man thank you. Great video 10x easier on a lift but I respect the fact your on your back and not making any excuses. Made 8.2 hours in 3 hours . Cheers !
Great video, thanks for posting. I did this on a 2005 Vue to replace the clutch slave cylinder. One tip, disconnect the steering rack from the steering shaft with one bolt. The steering rack drops with the sub frame.
I changed an engine in a Vue last year. I disconnected the steering, exhaust and a few other things, then dropped the complete subframe engine/transmission onto a couple movers dollies then rolled the whole thing out from under the front. Piece of cake.
thanks for your work. its so much easier to watch the first time. back in the day you would go to and old motor head and ask how to do it. you have become the old motor head. thanks
Actually I was wondering how to figure out snap out the my transmission cable for a replacement and your 6 first minutes on the video answer my question, thank you buddy ❤❤
Great video. one bell housing bolt not shown in the video is up on top of the starter. I got all the bolts out shown in the video and the transmission would not come down. Pulled that last bolt out and the transmission came right down.
Thank you for this video. I think yours is the only one out there with regard to a Saturn Vue manual tranny removal. Still not sure if I want to tackle this beast of a job in my garage, but at least I know it's possible for a DIYer to do it. I'm guessing putting everything back together was a pain in the arse. Taking things apart is the easy part, getting everything lined up to reinstall is the hard part. Thanks again. P.S. This same job at most shops is going to cost you $1300 to $1500 in most shops, I know because I've had it done 3 times in my '05 Vue.
Hi, when you said there's a lot of work to remove the transmission. The first thing came to mind is the TUCKER 48. You can remove the engine and transmission out and put another back in 30 minutes. The dealer would have installed a loaner in your car, in 30 minutes.
On my 2003, that starter bolt doesn't go thru to the transmission bell housing. However, the starter has to come out because there is an 18mm bolt hiding above it that has to come out. Just an FYI.
Important question for the comment section. I have a 2006 saturn Ion 2.2l 5-speed that has no hydraulic line from master to slave cylinder. (Discontinued part) But the part (slave and hydraulic actuator line) for the Vue is still in production, the bolt pattern looks identical between the two. Will it work? Because I'm planning to buy the two parts next week to attempt to get this vehicle running.
Is it safe to place a jack lift under the oil pan? The film is very good and detailed. It would be good to see more films like this one on more simple car repairs.
Good video.👍 The only thing i didn't see it marking on the struts with a marker paint on a screwdriver.in order to save money on new alignment .. the will be out off alignment when put back together not a big deal since Good explanation on your video...
@@freshfoodforfun9060 you're very welcome and thank you for letting me know that I got to grease my shaft. I am going to be putting one in my 02 Saturn Vue . Lot of Automotive technicians told me that they're hard to get back in.
@@matthewcoats3995 it's not going to go in smoothly. You have to keep rocking it in so the shaft turn by a few mm. and align with the threads. Don't give up Cheers
How bad was it stabbing it back in there? Were you and a jack able to do it or did you have to find some help to literally lift the transmission to get it back into the motor?
Excellent video. Getting ready to do it on my son's '03 vue. Any special alignment tool required for the clutch or can you just use a broomstick or something?
use an alignment tool, like he mentions in another video about the timing chain, the vues engine is more delicate than most. So exact alignment will make your repairs last a lot longer.
Had 1 bolt right above the starter that I didnt know was there until I started pulling on the trans, 05 vue. Didnt see it because it was covered in gunk. Just incase anyone else has the same problem
You say stuff like 'there's a bolt right here and here and another one there' and the camera is so close, people have no idea where you're referring to. How about referencing where the fasteners are you're talking about in relation to other things like "to the left of __this___" or "about a foot behind the ___that___" ? It's a helpful video in some regards and entirely frustrating in others.
You said ion' I'm doing the same 2003 vue, now I'm seeing what the last guy did not put back on, clips for trans cables =2. clip for clutch line // Thanks
thanks for the video..i'm getting ready to do this in a 2002 vue and there are no there videos out there..but please turn off the radio in the future, it's really a distraction
Thanks for the tip. I'm so used to wrenching with music I didn't even think about it. Here's a tip for you if your going to do this on your VUE, when you drop the subframe leave the control arms. It will save you about 30 min. time.
You keep calling a breaker bar a "cheater bar". A cheater bar is a pipe that u use to extend a Breaker bar or, any other wrench...to cheat & get extra leverage! I keep my breaker bars inside of their "Cheater bars" one is a T section of a scooter, it works awesomely!!! Ut also gives it a handle...but, when I need to get serious, I have a 5 or 6 foot pipe that I use!!!!!

I thought the slave cylinder and master cylinder formed a closed system. Why did you have to take transmission out?
One of the most serviceable cars I've ever worked on.

Pop the ball joint off instead of the steering knuckle bolts. Once those are removed it usually means an alignment is needed.
Great video. Thanks for posting. I am seriously considering attempting this job myself.
Did you do it
I did and it worked out great.
@@motleymeals7278 did you need to reset the springs on the self adjusting portion or was it set out of box?
You have no idea how much this video is appreciated. Thank you very much

Thanks a lot helped us with a 2005
Would be pretty cool to have a video for the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing.
Those are a bit more generic. I.e. you could watch videos on how its done for other cars and it would be about the same

Helping me in this tough Time..least this guy is good with a camera

"When you're done with that one l have another one
waiting for ya🤔" Great video, great help for us, Thanks!
Thanks this helped me out a lot!
Thanks. I will be giving it a try next month.
Thank you for the video !!!, I'm replacing clutch in my 2004 VUE.
Thanks man it is a great video, which is the right oil for this transmisión? F23? Something?
Dextron-III
You dont have the video for the clutch?
How did you diagnose your no crank no start after your clutch replacement
Thanks for the tips 😮
thank you for fantastic video

Please share the hydraulic bleeding procedure.
I should have that video up and a few others in the next couple of says.

Nice video, very informational! Do you have a installation video? ...definitely SUBSCRIBED!!!
Dude, you are BRAVE
Is this method possible on a 2007 Hybrid with a 2.4 engine?
Thx for sharing this. Gonna make my job much easier! 👍🏻👍🏻
I am having a problem pushing the trans. back in place. Any ideas?
Make sure everything is lined up correctly. Hope you used a clutch alignment tool. It aligns the clutch the pressure plate and the bearing right up .
@@matthewcoats3995 thank you, I did it. The problem was that I had to greas the shaft and keep rocking the trans. shaft to get it in. Rock and Roll

Great Video Thank You
Hello do you have video to change the motor on 2006 saturn vue
What I'm not seeing is are you doing both sides when it comes to the wheels axles and suspension?
Buen trabajo amigo q Dios te vendiga
Bagpipe music near the end of the video! Who would have guessed?
How bad was it stabbing it back in there? Were you and a jack able to do it or did you have to find some help to literally lift the transmission to get it back into the motor?
I am also having a problem putting it back together. The trans. will not go completely in.
Excellent video. Getting ready to do it on my son's '03 vue. Any special alignment tool required for the clutch or can you just use a broomstick or something?
The clutch alignment tool is most often times included with the clutch kit.
What was your truck doing. To no you need a transmission
use an alignment tool, like he mentions in another video about the timing chain, the vues engine is more delicate than most. So exact alignment will make your repairs last a lot longer.
pasame el link del video del slave cilinder como cambiarlo
You need the correct clutch alignment tool
Had 1 bolt right above the starter that I didnt know was there until I started pulling on the trans, 05 vue. Didnt see it because it was covered in gunk. Just incase anyone else has the same problem
Antonio Duarte which side as I removed 7 bolts total but the trans still won’t come out. Still feels bolted in. It’s also a 05

hahaha! yeah I caught that. I used to have an ION. Good luck on your VUE.
I think Saturns are like potato chips. You cant have only one.

Thank you for this video I did leave on the lower control arms worked very thank you again.
