It's great you've done it without using a lift. As most of us home mechanics don't usually have one either. keep up the good work!!!

You sir, are a CHAMPION. Your efforts and attention to detail are greatly appreciated.

Best trans removal video I've seen. There are some terrible dog-rough ones on YT. Good commentary as you went along. 1/2 hour to you = maybe 4 hours to the rest of us on Saturday - if all goes well !

This is the best video I have ever seen regarding removal of a transmission. Every step was easy to follow. Great work

Working on removing the transaxle from my Pontiac Vibe. Your video is excellent, and I'm glad I stumbled upon it just as I was beginning. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks!

Thank you for this It looks more complicated than it was your video really helped I changed the clutch in my 2014 corolla

Awesome job! Telling us what size sockets we need is great.

I just did this job at the junkyard with minimal tools. There is a bracket in the rear of the engine that blocks the 2 housing bolts, but it's easy to take off and gives you access from under. Then it's just the matter of beach pressing it out from the bottom. Maybe I was tired and dehydrated by the end at the yard, I could certainly lift it, but can barely walk with it. You must be really strong.

Thank you for the detailed video, you gave me the confidence to do it myself and save 1800 dollars. Thank you

Awesome video. Can’t wait for the next one!

Nice work appreciate you taking the time to explain every step doesn't look to as big of a pain in A now thank you

Brilliant video thanks very much, anyone else following this step by step it is easier to leave the gear change cable bracket (13.5mins into video) until after you have taken out the drive shafts. and as someone else suggested taking out the fan shroud makes the starter motor much easier.

Amazing video and way helpful in replacing my clutch, flywheel and axles. Took a bit longer than 30 minutes though lol

Thank you. I'll be tackling this on our corolla in short order.

Very very good video. Thank you the explanations and advice of all the steps you took. And excellent quality of the video clarity. The best one on you tube for this model of car and transmission. Nice tools too. I guess it's all Snap On. :) I got to replace the clutch on my 2006 Matrix. Oh well...

I started trade school, to become a technician, and I have this car, and this is all so much, I’m only 18 and I have ADHD so like I am not very organized and I’m trying to see if I can make some type of system for every part and bolt you remove to keep it organized and know what goes to what. It’s all kind of overwhelming but, I have to remember it’s only my second week at trade school😂 I’m barely 2 post lift trained😂😂😂

Thank you for an awesome video.

Great video, thank you. It must be like living in a fairy tale though living somewhere they don't throw salt on the road!

excellent instructional, thanks Steve ! #tooldemos

My guy wasn’t taking no for an answer😂 super good video

Excellent video and without any cursing, truly impressed. Any thoughts on used, remanufactured vs new transmission for my 2005 Corolla?

Your video was really helpful to me removing my standard transmission from my 2010 Pontiac Vibe; I had to go back and look at the removing process several times. The part that I didn't like is you saying you removed the tranny in under a half hour....it probable took you a half hour to drain the oil.....get real BUDDY !!!!!!!

Thank you. Very useful video.

Thanks for the tips sir really helpful.

best explain ever , barvo and thank you

You could've saved yourself a lot of trouble by taking out the fan shroud to get to the starter. Doing it this way makes it literally a 30 minute job start to finish. Great tutorial though, well explained.

Thank you. Useful video.

Outstanding video. Thank you for the time you gave and information you shared. I'm hoping you can help me. I have a 2007 Toyota Matrix, as I understand is the same as a Corolla, I paid a mechanic to change the clutch and flywheel. I lack time and tools to get the job done myself. From the day I picked up my car I have had an ongoing issue that I never had prior to the clutch and FW replacement. You maybe able to shed light on what might be the problem. When driving, regardless of speed or gear I am in, if I go over irregular road surface, e.g. train tracks, the RMP will drop out completely for an instant and then resume. This doesn't happen all the time though, Now the problem has gone from RPM dropping out and resuming correct RPM to stalling the car. When the car stalls it will start right up again and then drive no problem until the next time it happens, which could be at any moment or go for days without a problem. In trouble shooting this I have replaced the spark plugs, new fuel pump assembly, mass air flow sensor and cleaned the intake system. All work done by mechanic (different mechanic who changed out the clutch and FW) hoping that this will fix the problem. He also checked any fuse issues, loose wire harness, ground terminals, and love tapped almost the entire top surface of the engine to see if there's a loose connection somewhere. No luck. When the clutch and FW were replaced, is there a chance that a cable has been stretched or plug that isn't connecting properly in a less obvious place other than the top side of the engine be the cause of this worsening intermittent problem? Any suggestions/advise is welcome. Many thanks, Steve.

Rhank u this is a video needed to see for no one did it for a scion tc 1st gen.... pretty much same set up couple different things but thanks again..... but im also dropping sub frame for some other work so i no ill have more room....

I have a 1990 Geo Prizm with the 3 speed Corolla AT. I need to remove it and swap it out. Is this a DIY project for a mild-mechanically inclined individual?

This did not take 3 hours. I'm on 16 hours and I still gotta take the passenger side axle out lol. So many surprises and rusty bolts. Maybe I'm just slow, oiii did not prepare to sign up for this but now I gotta finish up my 2009 toyota matrix 2.4 manual. haha

Well done and helpful!

Good video! Keep it going

Thank you for this useful video it helped a lot for my engine swap/ clutch kit install. After changing my clutch, it doesn’t feel the same. Is this normal? Before, my clutch was stiffer and seemed stronger. Now, it feels like it’s spongy. I didn’t let any air in. In fact, I zipped tied the slave cylinder to make sure it didn’t pop off. What do you think it is, or is normal? Tia

Good job thanks for the video excellent

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you for the video, it’s very helpful. My 2011 Corolla looks pretty similar engine bay wise. Do you think this video would reflect pretty accurately to the 2011 Corolla?

Do you have a link to that long extension , half inch to 3/8?

Good job I will work with you. Bless you

You didn't show removal of snap rings at the transmission differential. Do axles hust float in the transmission differential so you can hammer them out without first removing any locking security mechenism? It is sometimes difficult to know exactly what and where you are working on for removing bolts underneath the car when everything is filmed so up close without having a wide view frame of reference that then narrows down on specific location. Did you take out the subframe? .

What wrench did you use for drain the transmission?

excellent

Thank you! What's the approx. weight of transmission?

sweet! you are a beast!

Do you have a in with the new video?

Wow, that's a lot of work.

Can I use a 2003 Corolla automatic transmission in my 2003 Pontiac Vibe, both are 1.8 L?

Is it the same process for an automatic trans in a 2006 corolla

That’s very difficult 😅too much, got Lost between all those cables and wires 😅😅

Thanks for the video. The shop want $1000 labor and little more than a $1000 to swap a JDM transmission from a 2ZR-FE engine.

Is there an install video as well? Considering tackling my 2016 Corolla transmission.

I did not see the the part of you unscrewing the the torque converter from the engine

i got a boss asking me if i could pull transmission with an hour because his past partner could do less than an hour pulling the transaxle out but i wanna say it to him like "wth how much are you paying me right now? while you make thousand dollar in this job"

Nice

Was this a c150 transmission you pulled out from the car?

Hey Hi, I am revisiting this video; interesting, now I got my engine back inside the bay BUT after securing and torquing while attaching the shifter cables found there is no space to attach back the shifter bracket then see at the end of the video here you also chose to remove the shifter cables with the bracket attached to it instead of leaving the bracket in the transmission; so how do you attach the shifter cable bracket back when you install the transmission again? I don't see a way to do it without a car lift! I was underneath reattaching the exhaust to engine but was late in the afternoon and could not see a way to get to it from underneath, seems have to take a harder look with better day light or can this be done by reattaching the bracket from top of engine bay removing the shifter cables from it and get the coolant hoses out of the way for clearance? it seems the exhaust manifold would be in the way from top as well so how to resolve this dilema? I am very close to finish this car but it presents challenges after challenges all the way every time!

I took out my xrs clutch and I noticed it had rubber dampers. I bought a new clutch kit and it has spring dampers inside the clutch. Would it be okay to use the spring loaded clutch in my xrs? Or does it need to be exactly the same with the rubber dampers?

Hi please guide . My car Toyota Corolla 1.3 later 5 speed gear my question is I have a change gear six speed gear so it is a possible

Do you have to reprogram the TCM if replacing with a used one?

Is there difference than a auto trans? Need to replace my auto transmission on a 04 corolla Thanks

Do i need the same work on automatic transmission?

Is this automatic transmission?

And I wanted to do it but don't have space, time and now that I see all the parts I have to take I don't think I don't want to do it.

Can

Lol, 2-3 hours... no. you don't take into account my complete lack of mechanic skills. I've been at this for two evenings straight, and I'm just getting to the bell housing removal point. Granted, I did overstep the tutorial and ended up almost completely removing the wiring harness before realizing that it didn't need to come off of the engine proper.. And I couldn't get the axle nut off of the passenger side axle at all and ended up having to remove the whole knuckle. Still, even if everything had gone perfectly, it would have still taken me at least 5 hours. So maybe you could have said, "It takes me 30 minutes, but on weekend time you could take 2-3 hours. Unless you're a complete noob like some of my viewers, in which case it'll take 5-8 hours, and that's if everything goes perfectly. Otherwise, expect to sleep on your buddy's sofa and walk to work for several days." JK, thanks so much for this detailed tutorial! I'd be completely lost without it! Now I'm just a little bit lost.
