I just pulled my transmission last night. I totally agree that it is the pilot bearing hanging up. I had the same problem a ratchet strap wrapped around the transfer case then attached to the rear axle allowed me to put a good slow controlled pull on the transmission and transfer case and got everything free without having to use the screw driver method. Your video definitely helped me thanks a lot for posting it.

@duaneweikum 2 года назад

I watched this video (parts 1 & 2) 3 times through and took notes prior to attempting this job on a 2002 Tacoma 4x4. Thanks so much for all the videos Tim (and Sean) Just replaced my trans and clutch/flywheel this past weekend! Here are some notes to add to this job. Both front wheels off. 6T double-locking jack stands in place. 2002 Tacoma 3.4 4WD with unknown miles (had the wrong instrument cluster when I got it, so no telling.) On the Tacoma with 3.4 the exhaust is different, so we did not have to remove. We didn’t break any bolts on disassembly, we broke one of the bell housing bolts on INSTALL while trying to torque. We also stripped the internal threads on the trans on a different bell housing bolt, so those are torqued to a lower number to be safe…I hope they stay in place. Probably should have put some red locktite on them. I did replace these with new bolts. I was also replacing the trans (with a rebuilt one) to had to pull the transfer case. No surprises there, replaced the rear trans seal since we were in there. The hardest bolt to remove was on the driver side inspection cover. Not because it was stuck, but because the access was extremely limited. Lucky for me my helper had smaller hands than I did. Had to go in from the DS wheel well. My pilot bearing was toast...dry and rusty with little ball bearings falling out all over…and the exterior race was locked into the crankshaft. That race was a BEAR to remove, but using the inner bearing removal tool kit (as recommended by TtTM) was essential to removal. NO WAY would the bread and bolt trick have worked…no we didn’t try, I bought the kit in advance just to be safe. I used the Orion Motor Tech Blind Hole Collet Bearing Race and Seal Puller Extractor Kit - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J6NLWJX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I found another tool that was super helpful for removing and torquing the flywheel and pressure plate bolts…JEGS Flywheel And Flexplate Turning Tool - www.amazon.com/dp/B078WHZCYQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details I STRONGLY advise adding this to the tools list. The best tool I bought for this job was the Milwaulkee M12 ⅜” Ratchet! Talking about speeding the job along. I opted for the kit with 2 batteries and a charger…that was a good choice. Never without power. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077F76VGT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That’s all I can think of, will update if I think of more. Cheers!

You're videos are a GODSEND. I'm doing a 3.4 swap in my 1990 Toyota pickup Extended cab SR5 4x4 and getting the transmission in has been the hardest part for me so far. Pulling the 3.0 was crazy easy and dropping the transmission was cake. Even putting in the 3.4 was easy but holy bejesus getting the transmission in is AWFUL.

@TimmyTheToolman 3 года назад

Hey Joseph, glad our video is helping you out. Getting the transmission mated to the engine is pretty tough. We found to get the final mating we needed to draw the trans to the engine using a couple of the bell housing bolts, one on each side. It's our belief the final hurdle is getting the input shaft to slide into the pilot bearing. It's not a press fit but it's a tight fit. I've talked with others who have done clutch jobs and they said the same thing. They drew the transmission to the block that last little bit using the bell housing bolts.

Doing this job now on my wife's second Toyota, the first one I did was on her T100 4x4 SR5 long bed, now she has this 2001 Tacoma, I was contemplating actually loosing the motor mounts a little bit to get more tilt on the assembly transmission and engine to get to those top two bell housing bolts with out such a long extension(s), or possibly through the shifter plate hole with an air ratchet regardless probably going to need a wobble end on it. So far I've learned that the T100 is much easier to work on from clutch service aspect, and not so much from other aspects... lol

@TimmyTheToolman 11 дней назад

Good luck with the job. Long extensions are your friend when it comes to the top bell housing bolts. Wobble extensions can make a huge difference. Just make the investment in extensions.

Cheers guys for this very-excellent two-part video set. I’ve been wondering about the health of the clutch in my Toyota Hiace camper van as it disengages almost as soon as the pedal is pressed. While it’s possible the pedal is out of correct adjustment the van is ~30y old (~150,000 miles) and I’m doing a pretty big refresh. Your much-appreciated content gave me the confidence to tackle this as the first gearbox and transfer out I’ve done. As you know many Toyotas of the 1990s and 2000s are really quite similar and the shafts on my van matched the bolt and stud pattern which was great. I made a simple adapter (that also adjusted for pitch and roll) to convert my 3T trolley jack into a transmission jack. My G52 4WD transmission came out a lot easier than Dan’s in the video largely as the pilot bearing stayed in place, but it’s old and notchy. I got the pilot bearing out with the ‘bread-and-a-M12-bolt’ technique. The Hiace has a hatch above the bell housing that gives some access to the top bolts and helps with removing the starter motor (and flywheel) and I didn’t have to remove the exhaust pipe, but did have to unbolt its bracket. My manual does say to remove the sway bar and there is also a picture that shows the types of each of the bell housing bolts and their tightening torque. Bad luck with the bell housing to gearbox bolts, but I don’t think you need to remove the bell housing to replace the front oil seal in the gearbox. While access is better with it out, I think all the bolts to remove the gearbox front bearing retainer are accessible with the bell housing in place. I won’t be replacing mine as it’s all good in there but will be doing the engine rear seal. There’s just a little weep but it seems sensible to replace it as I’ve currently got the flywheel out. Very many thanks for taking the time to make your videos. Much appreciated!

@TimmyTheToolman 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment. We learned after the fact the bell housing didn't need to come off to replace the front seal. Oh well.

@idadho 2 года назад

If a DIYer needs your instruction regarding using tools, I can't imagine them getting this job done. A DIYer needs to learn to fight through learning to use tools. You need to spray the alignment dowels and exhaust bolts with PB Blaster or Kroil. Makes a big difference.

@TimmyTheToolman 2 года назад

Well Mark, I disagree with you. Teaching new people about tools is important and we're going to continue describing to people the tools we're using in our videos. Total beginners have performed involved jobs, like a timing belt replacement, by following our videos. Our videos are all about empowering people to do their own automotive work,, and that includes detailed explanations of the tools we're using.. We did use lots of Kroil and heat on the exhaust bolts. The stud that broke on the passenger side is the same stud that broke on us when doing an 3.4 engine swap.

@idadho 2 года назад

@@TimmyTheToolman If you used Kroil, why did you not mention it. That is far more instructional that how to use an extension. Teach that Kroil is great for pulleys and alignment dowels and PB Blaster is great for those rusted exhaust bolts. The PB Blaster needs 5 minutes to work. Kroil does not work as well on rust but give it 20 minutes on a Honda or Toyota crank shaft pulley and they pop right off. I have extra long bolts that have the same thread as the tranny attachment bolts. I align the tranny with these long bolts while it is a couple inches out. This helps it slide right into the pilot bearing. It can also be a great safety when trying to get the tranny loose and secured to the jack. Ratchet straps across under the tranny and over the frame rails is another safety. I learned the hard way. A GM 700R4 landed on my head because it wasn't balanced. Safety tips are far more valuable. Rather than charting bolts, I just screw them back in when I see a difference. I was hoping to learn any challenges specific to a V-6 4Runner. I'll be doing a clutch for my daughter in a week or so.

@TimmyTheToolman 2 года назад

@@idadho Because we don't always remember to say everything we do. If you've ever been our shoes making a video, it's a lot of work and a lot of talking. We don't have a script. Everything said is taken right off the top of our head at that moment for the most part. Penetrant from what I've learned only gets you so far. It's not a miracle worker. What I have found for exhaust bolts is I almost always have to combine penetrant and heat to be successful removing stuck fasteners without breaking them. On both those exhaust studs that broke on different jobs, both were pre-treated several times day(s) in advance and still they fought us. I've heard of using longer bolts as alignment bolts to help marry the trans to the engine. I used this technique recently for a 3.0 to 3.4 swap video we filmed on a 2nd Gen 4runner. For 3 different manual transmissions I've helped install, all of them required the trans pulled into the block the last 1/2" or so with the bell housing bolts. They never just slide all the way in like they can with an auto trans installation because the input shaft fitment into the pilot bearing is tight. We have also used ratchet straps as a safety but I can't remember if we used them in this video. We definitely used them when we first separate the transfer case from the trans like we did on an auto trans swap on a 3rd Gen 4runner and like we recently did on an auto trans swap on a FJ Cruiser. We also used a ratchet strap to support the front of a manual trans for the 3.0 to 3.4 Swap Video. Once the engine is out, the trans is majorly front heavy and put a huge strain on the transmission mount. So Mark, we're not perfect and we are constantly learning. What I can say without a doubt is we are doing incredible things for the Toyota DIY Auto Mechanic community. We try to always give the best information possible at the time we are shooting. When there's further information or techniques we learn, we add that information to the video description of a pinned comment. You sound like you know your way around auto mechanics and so do we. We don't know it all and we don't claim to. You have your opinions and so do we and we don't need to agree with you. Your comment about DIYers not being able to accomplish this job if they require instruction on tools is absolutely false. We have proven this time and time again with the comments we've gotten from people who have used our videos.

I’m half way into removing the trans in my 2WD ‘96 5VZ Tacoma. So far the most difficult part is releasing the harness retainer (24:05 on the video). I’m guessing the access is tighter on the 2WD. I’m going to try lowering the trans a bit and see if it opens up some space. Found one of the top bell housing bolts loose. I was thinking my clutch was factory, but perhaps not. I’m thinking w/the welded cross member, I’ll need to slide the trans back until it clears the engine and then drop the front & slide fwd until it clears the crossmember. Your videos gave me the confidence to take this on. Many thanks!!

Thanks Tim! I learned this morning that to get enough clearance the top shifter plate had to be removed. Then you can back the transmission out of the engine. Then the clutch assembly had to be removed before there’s enough room to tip the trans forward and get it clear of the crossmember. The pilot bearing put up a good fight, but did come free of the input shaft. The ratchet strap idea in the comments was really helpful. Onward…

I don’t think you installed the throw out bearing/ clutch fork correctly

@TimmyTheToolman Год назад

I think we did because Dan has been driving the truck thousands of miles since we filmed this video 4 years ago. I would think we would have realized the problem by now, don't you think?

& that’s why it’ costs around $3k to fix

@TimmyTheToolman 2 года назад

Labor can be expensive, but don’t be afraid to take this on! It’s very do-able especially with this video as a guide

You know, you don't have to waste your time telling us what brand and type of ratchet you're using, I'm pretty sure we're smart enough to figure that part out on our own. Bolt size is all we really need

Ok, I heard what you said, now hear something from me. If this is all you have as a comment for a super detailed video series we know has helped out tons of people do a clutch job, don't bother commenting in the future on any of our videos. It's just mind blowing you can watch a video series like this and just whine about how I narrate parts of the job and say nothing else about how well we documented this job for people.
