Ford Mustang Clutch & Flywheel Replacement (79-04 SN95 & Fox)

- In this video I show you how to replace your clutch and flywheel on your 1979-2004 Mustang. All of these years are basically the same with a couple small changes. This procedure will work for ALL 1979-2004 Ford Mustangs. I show you all of the wear points to inspect and what parts should be replaced while replacing the clutch and flywheel. The clutch and flywheel themselves are easy to replace but, unfortunately there is no way to replace the clutch without removing the transmission. Removal of the transmission is fairly straightforward but, like any transmission, it's heavy, and easier to remove if you have a second set of hands especially if you are working on jackstands.

Flywheel?
Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions! With your help, even my female hands can handle the clutch replacement🤗Mustangs must live, regardless of politics!💕 Sorry for my English🤭
Thanks for the well done video. I used your bread trick to get my pilot bearing out, after a failed attempt with a slide hammer.
100% best vid tutorial on how to replace this.
Nice job helped a lot with my 01 Bullitt
Excellent video thanks
well done buddie, great video
Great video. I have a 98 cobra with the t45 and I have bbk long tube headers. To replace the clutch would I just need to loosen one of the headers so the trans would clear the headers. Thanks.

I have the same Ford bearing on the left but for a 92 5.0 Mustang. Would it work? The one it has on currently came out and is shorter like the right side bearing.
So a shop installed my MvLeod clutch and flywheel with the throw out bearing lobe on the pivot side, im sure should be on the clutch cable side. Does this really matter? Also ford did issues me another bearing but instead of a lobe or egg shape one it had a dowel pin. What would you suggest i replace it with?
I didnt see you use dowel pins on the fly wheel is there a reason why? Do i need to buy new ones when replacing the flywheel? Thanks
What is involved if long tube headers are installed?
My car is missing that separator plate cover under the flywheel is that going the screw up my alignment?
What beat did you use for the vid it’s stuck in my head
Where’s the link for all the new bolts?
Great video but didn’t see link to all the new bolts
Nice video. I was waiting for dowel pin info but nothing :( Apparently there's different kinds? Some have a shoulder.
"I'm gonna hit it with a coat of paint real quick, because I'm a PSYCHO".
The true psycho would put it back in without cleaning it up at all! 😱
Man sometimes a short tempered mechanic just needs videos for when the motor is already out of the car 😂❤
Awesome boy,
Why do the bolts have these strange slots on the heads?
thanks for this I am swapping my first trans
very nice job. where did you get that shift knob? also on a T-45 how much fluid do you put in, top it? do you grease the outside of the pilot bearing or does it go in dry? once again nice work on the video, very professional.
Shift knob is an old Mach1 knob from Ford Racing. It's been discontinued but you can find replicas easily. T45 fluid capacity is just over 3 qts. Fill it until fluid comes out the fill plug in the side of the trans. Just put a small amount of grease on the TB sleeve and on the splines. The less the better. You don't want the grease on the clutch.
Great video! I think the larger pilot bearing you did not use is the high load style, part M-7600-C.
The larger bearing is the one I used. I used the standard ford racing bearing. The small bearing that I showed was the one that came with the clutch.
@@RepairGeek Gotcha, sorry.
Dang I was hoping I wouldnt have to pull the exhaust I just welded directly in the way. I'll be swapping in a junkyard trans with no history. Rolling the dice hard on this one!
How'd that go
@@itzsopanda3821 4th and 5th were busted haha. Got some good practice tho i just put in a factory rebuilt 3650 and it slid right in there now that i know how to line it up just right. The trick is to grease the splines up and not have the front of the car jacked up too high. I use a 2x4 to support it while i bolt it up so i can get that jack out of my way. Then i run the two longest bolts in to suck it in flat, then back them out and put them all where theyre supposed to go. I also learned that my drive shaft bolts were very loose despite cranking the shit out of them. So locktite and a 12pt socket and impact are needed. The box end wrench isnt gonna hack it. The 99-01 t45 tailshaft housing from the junkyard one is a $300 ebay item, so ill make a few bucks. I also learned that the chchch noise wasnt actually coming from the transmission, but the rear spark plug about to blow out! Sounded like a champaign bottle! 🤣
How did you tighten the top two bolts of the driveshaft when reinstalling? Mine does not spin
get the back wheels in the air so it can spin, thats what I had to do as I did mine without a lift.
Replaced my Clutch a few months ago and since then I’ve had a vibration in the clutch pedal where I have to pull up on it with my foot to make it stop. Any idea what went wrong? Did all I could to try and adjust the pedal and nothing.
Are you using an aftermarket firewall adjuster? Sounds like your throwout bearing is bouncing on the clutch fingers causing the vibration.
Synchromax or synchromesh MTF is a great option too lol
good stuff a 34 min video im guessing took 6 hrs to do in real time....was going mine on the ground yesterday and not fun stuff! my tip rent a uhaul tow dolly ...makes it nice high and safe ! it wont fall on you like jack and jack stands ...
I could probably do it in 3-4hrs without making the video. Just depends on how easy it comes apart. Setting up the camera, lighting, mic, changing camera batteries all takes time. Good point about the Uhaul. Thanks for watching.
Man I love your attention to detail.
How much would you think a clutch replacement cost?
$30 for heavy duty throwout bearing.
185$ -220$ for clutch
74$ Shiftfork if needed
20$ fluid
My guess you looking at around 350$ I would change rear main seal while I was in there
What torque did you used on the pressure plate apr bolts? I purchased the same bolts for my 2001 mustang bullitt/gt
I think it was 40 or 50 ft lbs. The package had a paper inside with the torque spec.
Thank you
You did not replaced rear main seal. Is it on purpose ? I always hear to replace it but I am afraid to do it and only do the pilot bearing as you did.

If we're not changing the clutch, is it necessary to remove the flywheel in order to change the pilot bearing?
Shouldn't be.
I don't see any similarities between this and my 1990 other then clutch cable and drive shaft. Yes T5 and just about any tko 500 or 600 and even tkx have improved this but. Awesome job on video
Do you ever work on other people's cars? Where are you from?
Well this won’t work for 79-95, they swapped motors and trans in 96
how's the throw out bearing holding up?
Years later, no issues.
@@RepairGeek forsure thanks was about spend 60$ on frhp one till u said the national bearing was the same
Is "Valeo" a reputable replacement clutch brand? Is this one of those areas that you don't need Motorcraft parts?
Valeo made the factory clutch for these cars. I'd be willing to bet if you bought a Motorcraft replacement clutch it's probably a Valeo in a Motorcraft box.
Digg that
Where are you
He filled the fluid through the shifter. Probably overfilled it.
Not only can I fill it through the shifter, I can also read. 😎
What
Excellent video thanks
Good job you know what you are doing for sure I hope I get my 96 Gt back with the same care I'm hoping that all goes well for wear I sent it when your stuck your taking a shot and boer load of money there went my paint job spent on a clutch ohwell
