You just saved my ass. Had already bolted my flywheel and clutch onto an engine out of a automatic. I was unaware of the bushing that needs to be on the crankshaft. Glad I stopped what I was doing and decided to drink coffee and watch CZcams. By the way great video!!!
Everyday we learn something new, i didnt knew that the pressure plate rotated with the clutch, i thought the clutch was rotating and the pressure plate was static. Thanks for uploading this kind of stuff
I had a pilot shaft from an old transmission that I used to line up the clutch and pressure plate but I loaned it to someone and it never was returned.
They make this little plastic dowel that you put through the clutch and pilot bearing to align the clutch much easier then lining it up with the trans. The alignment dowel should come with all clutch kits you will buy. Came here to learn relized i know an easier way xD
Excellent video, For people trying to learn! Sure they make a alignment tool [but] if you don't have one these will get you the same results. Excellent key points thanks for sharing stored knowledge
Thanks. I have an old pilot shaft that I normally use but I could not find it so using the transmission is the next best thing. A different way of doing it.
lithium grease supplied with the clutch kit should be used on the pilot bushing, clutch plate fingers, throwout bearing, clutch fork and ball, imput shaft splines/ tip that goes into pilot bearing. flywheel should be replaced or resurfaced rubber gloves must be worn so that the flywheel and clutch plates arent contaminated by grease or oil flywheel bolts should be replaced and torqued in 3 stages in a star pattern, preferably with blue or red locktite on the threads clutch alignment tool should be used before tightening clutch plate bolts to flywheel. clutch plate bolts should be replaced and torqued to spec in a star pattern clutch plates should not be laid on pavement those are just some of the bad habits shown in this video. other then that this video can be helpful to show the steps that a clutch kit would be installed
I guess it depends on how you like to do this. For me, I don't like to do any work on an engine while it swings from an engine hoist. That just goes against my sense of safety. An engine hoist should ONLY be used to lift an engine. If it were me, I would install the pilot bushing, and then bolt the flywheel on when the engine is bolted to a stand. Second, I would cross tighten those flywheel bolts, first snug, then tight, then torqued. Then I would put the engine in the car. Why? Then from under the car I would install the clutch and pressure plate using a $5 clutch alignment tool. Then I would ease the transmission into place. You can craft a transmission cradle out of wood and scrap metal and attach that to your hydraulic jack, or, if your transmission is light enough, muscle it into place. On my 1988 Mustang GT, I put the transmission on my chest, rolled under the car and put the transmission into place myself...on heavier transmissions you can get a friend to help or use a jack. Slip it into place and bolt it on.
Thank you David! Great presentation. Small block Chevys were my "specialty" - "back in the day". (I loved my 327 with 2.02 intake valves. It was a screamer - and it got 23 mpg - when I stayed out of the secondaries. ;) )
In the 70s, I had the same engine and valves but add a Crane cam, high compression pistons and a few other things and I was luck to get 10. How do you not put your foot into it? I bought used tires from the junk yard because I would burn them off. They did not last long but it was fun.
be careful, Dave, you bad habits could lead to issues. For everyone else, make sure you tighten the pressure plate incrementally ex: first all at 10in/lbs, then 15 and then 18, and diametrically ie top bottom, left bottom then right top, left then right etc .
You probably dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Odin Franklin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
You can fill in behind the pilot bearing with grease and use something of the same diameter as the hole in pilot bearing smack it with hammer keep filling it with grease and it works like a press and will push the bearing out
For the newbs out there, have your flywheel turned since its out anyway. Just bolting on the flywheel is like doing a brake job without turning drums and rotors, BAD IDEA can you say CLUTCH CHATTER!
Jeff Jankowski yeah true but if you remove material you gotta add shims. Or replace entire unit. Check the teeth while it's out too. Replace ring or unit.
To be direct; you cant speak for the people. Just for yourself, if you say it's not cost effective. Then it's obvious we cannot have an educated discussion. Because you have yet to be educated by Master Technicians throughout your schooling. IT IS COST EFFECTIVE> Machine shops make the surface smooth and even all around. This will cause "even wear" of the friction plate. HOWEVER! you gotta add shims if you remove material. go to school MR Marty Fed-up. Stick to your video games.
I needed to learn just 1 thing here, and you taught me 2.... Nice. The Release Bearing was what I came For, and I learned about the Pilot Bushing. 1 Question though: How do I remove the OLD pilot Bushing, without taking the Engine apart?
guessing you've already done your project, but if you take a piece of paper, rip them up into small pieces, soak them in water, then jam them into the middle of the pilot bushing, then use a socket extension and some force to pack in the water logged paper, continue packing in wet paper, when there's enough paper crammed in there, it will force the pilot bushing out, then just reach in with your finger and wipe out the paper...did it on a chevy 305 and it worked perfect for me
+Syrus54 If you didnt get it out. Use a cold chisel and slowly chip away at it until its out. Some people actually thread it. Install a bolt and then use a puller.
I did the pressure plate but didn't show it, the bell housing I didn't what to tighten it to tight just in case I had to remove it while it is in the car. It is ease now but not in the car.
It take a little longer if the motor is installed in the car but the same procedure. If you do a lot of them you can buy a clutch alignment pilot shaft tool. Or if you know a manual transmission repair shop, they might give or sell a damaged one cheap.
Hey I hope you still monitor this video.. But it is a great instructional . Question ???? How tight or secure does that clutch fork has to be on the piviot ball??? I seen you shake it a little but no one demostrate how secure it has to be...thx.
So I have a question..I'm changing out the clutch on a 72 chevy c10 with a 4 speed. Because it wasn't shifting very smooth and hard to put in gear and it would scratch gears alot. And it started then to make this weird rattling grinding type sound just idling. So I dropped the transmission and took the pressure plate and clutch off and for some reason that bronze bushing you were talking about fell out after I took off the clutch and pressure plate assembly. So is that bronze bushing supposed to fall out like that? Or is it supposed to be pretty snug in that hole and could it had fallen out of place and been what was grinding and making that rattling sound?
I always had to work to get them out and tap it back into the crankshaft with a hammer and socket. That means yours is rattling around inside the crankshaft and around the pilot shaft on the transmission. I believe you need a new one. That bronze bushing is soft metal the will wear out completely in time. Remember to put a little grease on before you install the transmission.
Good video!!! Might not be how everybody does it but you got job done!!! For all the haters on here you were obviously watching this video for a reason!!! If you knew how to do it you wouldn’t be watching this!!!! People bitch about anything anymore. Smh
what brand torque wrench did you use?i bought a 1990 chevy c1500 with a 5.7 the previous owner was making it stick shift i decided to go back to automatic would o also have to change the pilot bushing any information would be very helpful thank you sir
Great video ... but my wish is install a stick shift in my truck C10 83 ... but i don't now how and hard to do it .................................. cheers .
Yes they do. I loaned my out to one of my friends and I can not remember who, so it is gone. I made mine from a broke transmission. Took the shaft that comes out of the transmission, removed the bearing and use it to line up the pressure plate and clutch. It is the same as on the video except without the transmission.

Bob Moynes you need threadlocker on there brother blue medium strength Clutch alignment tool cheap Flywheel turner tool Silicon base lubricant for the candle stick Torque the flywheel in sequence! And torque everything else to specifications with thread locker very important
Yes - if the teeth are ground down on the flywheel, the starter will not be able to engage and turn the engine over. Remove the starter and look at the flywheel teeth and see if any teeth are ground down. Mark the flywheel with a magic marker and turn the engine over a full turn, 360 degrees. Use a screw drive and go one tooth at a time or put a socket on the front pulley and have someone turn it over as you watch the teeth go by.
Should be able to if the bolt pattern is the same and it has the same amount of teeth on the outer ring. Most Chevy parts interchange. Ask you local auto parts store because they have the interchange information.
This is how it is done if you don't have a beautiful shop with all the special tools that a shop would use on a daily basis. I do not do this all the time and I do not want to buy special tools that I might not use again. Main thing it that it gets the job done without paying someone.
byrysh. How do you know there was even a clutch alignment tool come with his clutch kit? There have been a lot of clutches installed without a tool as there hasnt always been one included, but I guess you have never done anything the old way. just say n.
danny thomas it's a cheap tool. But if your a tech like me then of course there's times you don't need the tool BECAUSE I have a spare input shaft from another tranny. Key to this is yes you need the alignment tool. But hey do what this man did, all his mistakes I see money. Repairs.
One - the flywheel needed resurfaced Two - torque in a crisscross pattern in stages Three - use an alignment tool Fourth - use a new clutch disc Fifth - use a new clutch pressure plate Six - Use thread locker on the flywheel bolts and the clutch bolts
I've seen clutches get aligned with a shaved down broom handle and a good "eyball",also with a piece of hardwood run down to the dimensions of the transmission spline in a wood lathe ,you don't need groves in it. and,,,save a main drive out of a junked tranny. the old school way
The other problem are the neighborhood kids. I don't care if they make a lot of noise but the seem to come out when I bring out my camera. Life is the big city.
Loaned it to a friend, never returned it and can not remember who it was. Same with my torque wrench??????? Don't lend tools unless you write is down who you gave it to.

I was taught to always use a cross patern when troquing nuts and bolts not go around in a circle, that will warp the part

lithium grease supplied with the clutch kit should be used on the pilot bushing, clutch plate fingers, throwout bearing, clutch fork and ball, imput shaft splines/ tip that goes into pilot bearing.
flywheel should be replaced or resurfaced
rubber gloves must be worn so that the flywheel and clutch plates arent contaminated by grease or oil
flywheel bolts should be replaced and torqued in 3 stages in a star pattern, preferably with blue or red locktite on the threads
clutch alignment tool should be used before tightening clutch plate bolts to flywheel.
clutch plate bolts should be replaced and torqued to spec in a star pattern
clutch plates should not be laid on pavement
those are just some of the bad habits shown in this video. other then that this video can be helpful to show the steps that a clutch kit would be installed
