Scotty Kilmer 13 is without a doubt, the most important
aligntment tool
Scotty Kilmer
Scotty Kilmer is very complicated for do it by my own isn't it? I have never touch an engine before but I could save a loooot of money, like 600 euros, what would you say boss?, should I try it?
My clutch is letting out 1/4 of the way out its almost but it's not slipping at all do I have too take the tranny completely out like I did before because don't think I can get it slid over its a 2003 cavalier
Thanks for the video. You've basically told me to take it to a mechanic.
LOL
Chris McCalla do it bro i have fate on you. buy that transmission and do it. you the man
haha!!
Hahaha! Damn funny man.
Jay Jack no shit!
most things worth doing are somewhat hard, think of how boring life would be if everything was easy as pie
I have a 1996 volkswagen golf gti the engine idles rough i change the spark plugs and spark plug cables it helped it out a bit what could it be
@@boi_9421 I have an 1986 Volkswagen. It's on my channel.
boi _ boi _ rough idling could be a few things, when the car is warmed up and stationary, the revs should stay around 1000rpms, any lower than that you’ll get a bumpy idle, if your car is turbo’d, try locate the bov or diverter valve and make sure the spring is tight enough so it doesn’t open when decelerating
You meet yourself in those hard moments
@@funkolog hardly true
Scott Kilmer the only man besides Chuck Norris who can change a clutch with minimum effort and no swearing while still having the energy to pose for camera shots wearing Steven Seagal glasses.
Sy Nguyen I think he looks like John Lennon
i could do it in two hours, some guys could take two days. Just depends on your speed. take your time, don't rush it
I take 2 days but I get it done right hahha
First timer here. 14 hours in, about to pry off tranny but gotta figure a way to support it since I have no transmission jack. There were lots of bolts that were in tight spots I had to get out plus the subframe . :S
Any advice for a clutch job on a rear wheel drive 74 Nova? Lol I know it’s been 7 years...🐌

simple enough. should be a 4 min fix. Lol

More like 4 hours in real life..

🤣
😂😂😂 easy job.
Only guy on CZcams that makes a clutch job looks fun! Lol thanks Scotty!!
Haitian P or too easy..it take me two days
This video was hugely helpful and made the whole job so easy. Really a piece of cake. I particularly enjoyed the coffee I had sitting outside in the sun, while I waited for the mechanic to call to say he's finished! Thanks Scotty👍
50+ years as a mechanic, without a car lift rack? This is one amazing human!
I’ve done it without a lift. I tied a pulley to a hook in a joist in my garage and it helped lifting a transmission out.

2 minutes without the talking

Scotty can swap out an entire engine in just over 2 minutes; there's a video to prove it.
bitch please i do clutches in 60 seconds, scotty is older and slow
I need a clutch on my 1998 Mazda. The cost is 600.00. Looking at your video shows that the job is not easy and the price is reasonable.
Than you
The job is extremely easy. And $600 for your clutch? Wtf? Who are you buying it from? That better be an upgraded clutch, cause there is no way an OEM clutch will cost you $600. I have a 2012, and that clutch is about $200 i also have an 85 MR2, and that clutch is about $150.
Sometimes, it’s just easier to leave it to a mechanic. Drop it off and it’s done In a day, and you still get your weekend to spend with family. Do an overtime shift or flog some crap from around the house online to pay for it.
@@mattevans1643 $600 for a clutch job is a steal. The parts are probably only $150. That's 450 for labor. Most shops charge $1,000 for the job at least. Some up to $1500.
@@mattevans1643 what kind of clutch
One guy watched this video, his car did exactly the same (revs come up put the car won't go). so he bought a new clutch kit and took out the gearbox and then realized that an automatic gearbox doesn't even have clutch. :D
I feel sorry for the guy. So what car he has?
Toyota Yaris :D
So he just goes to store and say "give me clutch for my Toyota Yaris"..?
I don't know what he said exactly, but it is his first car that has an automatic transmission, he probably was thinking that automatics also had clutches and Yaris models came with automatic and manual tranys, so he bough a clutch setup
Thanks for answer. Still, I feel sorry for buddy.
I love your how to videos, this repair was going to cost me $1000 + at the shop. Now I’m only out $200 and 8 hours. Thank you!
Scratch that, 40 hours and still have to take it to a mechanic which will cost $1000 plus a tow charge. Apparently I’m not a mechanic.
What happened?
Ouch.
Lol
Expectation VS reality@@thelieutenantsstopmotion9616
Now I know how to change the clutch in the car? Now I know I have to take the car to a mechanic!
do your neighbors think you are crazy for popping out of the truck like that?
lol
haha
It's crazy to pop out of trunks at your neighbors? .... Well shit, guess I'm a crazy person too, at least Scott has his clothes on when he does it lol
Lmfao
LouPremo he most likely does it in his neighbors cars all the time scaring the daylights out of them
I love Scotty's videos because he is so informative yet very straightforward. He covers all the important and necessary steps while the little details anyone should be able to figure out on their own. For those who complain, just shut up and pay your mechanic. Thank you Scotty!!
One day this guys videos are gonna give me a heart attack. "Oh thats an nice white tru... holy fuck he's back there!!!"
😂
lol
This guy was ahead of his time with you tube videos. Lol. The good old days.
I am pretty sure that you could put together a vid on assembling a brand new car from scratch..and get it over with in 4 minutes.

Scotty,
I just wanted to say thanks for the video. My car needed a new clutch, and your video was more accurate than the instructions in the manual. It recommended dropping the subframe, which would have taken a LOT longer. I still had PLENTY of room to do the clutch from the top without removing the subframe. Thanks again!
- Mike
1 min in and you diagnosed my clutch problem... Kept asking about the high rpms and no one could answe me.
You are THE MAN!
The wonderful thing about Scotty’s videos is that even though this one came out in 2010, his format has literally not changed at all in 10 years 😂

old school lmao
Thanks for the vids Scotty. You and chrisfix are my favorites. Chris for showing every step and you for getting right to the point
This has to be the quickest, most informative video. I’ve watched so far. Good job Scotty.
It's crazy how easy this guy makes a job like this look. Not even a lift or pit needed either😂. You're amazing Scotty.!👍👍👍
actually, it hits all the main points, as even another mechanic found amazing.
Was really helpful and made changing the clutch a little less daunting
Wow! That looks really easy, and it can be done in under five minutes, incredible!
what a legend, still watch these videos today, 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was everything I needed to eyeball my friend's 99 Protege clutch replacement. Well shot, well produced, funny, and informative, I've used many of this guy's videos to fix car problems. Thanks, Scotty!
Yeahh... Imma take it to a mechanic once my clutch wears out lol. I'll stick to watching your videos to learn things I'd never do because it looks so complicated
it took me 5 hours of hell!!! my back is killing me now !!!
Supra flyg I feel your pain..Scotty I think has no issues with muscles or pain
On another video, Scotty said he was getting carpal tunnel in his arms, and took his wifes glucosamine chondroitin and it went away. 💪
Sir,
you have so much energy!keep it up!!!
Just got a 1980 Toyota sr5, 2.2, 2 wheel. I've done quite a bit of work on it and it's only beginning. Your channel is an absolute God send for me. Thanks Scotty
Scotty can take a whole day job and finish it in 4 minutes! i love how he simplifies it to the extreme!
You make it look so easy but I am sure it is a tough one
It is. On my daily driver, you remove 3 engine mounts, unbolt the slave cylinder, remove the battery, remove the air cleaner assembly, disconnect the shift linkage, unbolt the starter, remove the tie rods and CV axles. So yes, it's a pain in the ass.
GreatYue this was done on a what appeared to be a 98-02 Honda Accord EX.
The trans is fairly easy to get too. What amazed me about Scotty was he did most of the work from the top, I do it under the car.
I've changed 2 clutches on 2 different vehicles and, while it looks intimidating, it's not that difficult in real life. The first clutch I replaced was a 1982 Datsun 210 station wagon. That was ridiculously easy. Just had to disconnect the drive shaft (most Japanese cars prior to the mid 80s were rwd) a couple of wires, and the tanny itself. Whole process, from start to finish, took 5 hours. Transmission only weighed about 70lb dry. I could lift it with my bare hands but still used a floor jack and Jack stands for clearance. Unluckily for me, a garbage truck backed into that car two weeks later, totaling it. God I miss that car. (On a side note, if you want a car that is super easy to work on, Buy an older rear wheel drive Japanese or European Vehicle. Small engines and massive engine Bays with few wires, hoses, Etc. Everything is very easy to reach.) Second clutch I did was on a 1991 Mercury Tracer, basically a rebadged Ford Escort. It took me a couple of days to do it because it is front-wheel drive and everything is cramped in the engine bay and I had to take more stuff out of the way to get to it. But I still did successfully. The most difficult part was getting the transmission to fit back on to the engine
You are a genius doing that complicated job in your back yard on jack stands.
What about the torque standards ? the wrench down pattern ? the shims and spacing tolerances?
In any case you did it made it looks easy and I thank you.
He didn't do it right. He didn't say anything about inspecting/resurfacing/replacing the flywheel.
Dondi Moore He did in his newer video
If the flywheel is fine no need to replace it.
he should have added important details.
and it was an easy car to work on most need the tranny dropped. but he did make us realize we can do it if we have any industry.
its a generic video not vehicle specific so these details are superfluous.
Customer: My clutch is worn out
Me: It is easy
Customer: how?
Me: According to Scotty's 4 min fix.. lol
Mine just went out,I could just take it to the shop and give them $1500-2000 to do the job or I could spend $200 and do it myself following Scotty’s video.I’m smart enough to know if I tried to do it myself I’ll end up paying the mechanic the $1500-$2000 to replace the clutch and another $1000 from the other stuff I’ll break trying to do it myself.
I had a 75 Chevy luv and did the clutch to it. But when i had pulled the transmission out it had an “ inner bearing” that i didn’t know was there and had a heck of time putting it back together. My dad had to help me take it all apart and borrowed a pulley to take out that inner bearing and replace it with a new one😂👍thank God he showed up to help👍
I had to do this with just a breaker bar, 5 sockets, a clutch aligner, a jack and axle stands, a set of open ended spanners and a ratchet. I just used some old hose pipe to refil the gearbox. You make this look way easier than it was for me haha
What Scotty Kilmer show in 4 mins. will take me 2 days to do! I don't even feel I did it right...
Phew next time i'll just take it to a certified Mechanic!
Scotty MSU Hey man, you did it! Don't forget that! Most people go their whole lives without ever doing something like that.
Kilmer is the man when it come to cars.. but this sense of humor get a little getting use too. I have to say I learn a lot from his how to video Thou! Keep up the good work

Scotty MSU lol when I first started tinkering around with my car. I did the spark plugs. Had no clue where they were on my old 95 Mercedes, I was pulling on the fuel injector rails thinking the spark plugs were under the injectors lmao and taking bolts off the engine not knowing wtf is going on. Till one day, under the black cover just a few inches to the side of the rails, where the spark plugs lived, I found them. Took me 1 day to figure that out and the second day to actually finish it, should’ve been a like a 30 min, (maybe a tad bit more, since mine was a v8 and there was little room to get to the back part where the plugs were). But then again, I bought the cheapest tiniest socket wrench set for 15 bucks outside my local junkyard, and the set was garbage to begin with and it was just hard not having proper tools. I was mad but relieve and felt proud I did something. Just recently I changed my starter, took me two day too, but since I got a new job, wasn’t able to have time to change it, was about 3hrs, only cause I didn’t have 10mm hex bit, and again, there was no room for my large hand to fit. Point is, I was just glad to get it done hahah😂
this guy is the best
I heard that he occasionally enjoys young ladyboys like yourself. Gay for pay much?
Wtf
I need a mechanic like him!!!!! beast
Only thing I've done with a car before was change oil. Did a whole clutch kit with this video as reference. Only $95 and 3 hours with the right tools. Could probably do it in an HR next time. Thnx Scotty 👍😁👍
easier said than done😂😂
I'm glad that after 10 years ur still making useful videos
often worn out clutch release bearing, but I'd change the whole clutch set if I were pulling that transmission off to fix it.
I am going to state the blatantly obvious, but often overlooked tidbit of common sense: Don't EVER try doing this unless you're extremely advanced with cars. Yes, it is quite expensive to be done at a mechanic, but you will have absolutely no car if you screw something up, or just plain can't get things back together. Dropping a transmission is no novice task, getting it back into place is EXTREMELY difficult, this video doesn't show just how hard it can be. There are certain things that are absolutely worth paying a big price for to get them done at a shop, unless you're extremely proficient at cars, this isn't something you want to be getting into. I know this is all common sense, but I can't even count how many people I've seen fuck up their cars trying to do very difficult repairs by themselves, all because they didn't want to pay to get it done right.
depends on the car, and the person doing the work. I was putting clutches in cars when I was 14 years old, any mechanical person can do it.
***** I'm not telling people to depend on shops for everything, I'm a person who does nearly all of my own car work, and learned that way. I'm just telling people to be very careful what they get into, make sure they know what they're doing, or have someone around who is. Like I said, I have seen so many people fuck up their cars because they were trying to do something way other their head. Say you need your car for work, if you can't get your transmission back into place, you aren't going anywhere. It's definitely a great idea to work on your own cars, saves a ton of money, just make sure you have the necessary experience before delving into the advanced stuff, that's my whole theme here.
***** Hey in that case you had nothing to lose, I'd say go for it. It absolutely depends on the car, no doubt about it. For instance, I think anyone could agree a RWD is much easier to change a clutch in over a FWD or especially an AWD. My point is for people to always make sure they do their research beforehand; you don't want to jump in to suddenly realize you're absolutely screwed, have no idea what you're doing, and now have an inoperable vehicle that you cannot get back together. When that occurs, there are only two likely outcomes: They just put things back together despite being lost, and wind up screwing up their car, or they have no car to drive until they tow it to a shop, or find someone who can help them.
***** In my personal opinion, I think the best idea is to have someone around who knows their stuff to shadow you. Everyone knows of someone who is good with cars, most people will be happy to help you if you respect them, show genuine interest, and most importantly listen to them. My neighbor was a mechanic, I began going over there on weekends when he did side work. As a condition for him to teach me, I offered to assist doing all the "bitch work" so to speak, grabbing and returning tools, collecting trash, disposing of fluids, you name it. I figured that was fair, considering he was taking his personal time to sit and explain things to me.
In a very short period of time I went from not knowing how to change oil (I was never taught anything about cars in my family, every problem was take it to the shop) to changing my own brake pads, struts, fuel filter etc. If you gain a mechanic's respect, they will eventually usually let you bring your car over and work on it, and you always have them there for when you run into a jam. You then have the ability to be a go getter and dive into projects, with peace of mind knowing you have someone there to help.
Manuals can be a great tool, I just personally think nothing beats learning hands on from another mechanic. Jumping into projects is great, just make sure you have someone available to assist you if you run into a jam. Eventually you can pretty much become self sufficient, but until then it is wise to err on the safe side.
*****
Na, my father could barely tie his own shoelaces, he played bridge and won money playing the ponies. My grandfather, his father, was the mechanic. One of those skip a generation things.
it's fun getting all the bolts off, I personally find room to get one off, then turn the flywheel as I work so I can access all the other ones.
Just try to do it yourself. Dont be afraid. I've learned and done a lot of things I thought were impossible for me to do. I've saved a lot of money and I know more about car repairs now.
The man is a legend, makes it look soooo easy but when you do it yourself its like where the hay do I even start haha
Happy Birthday Scotty and love your videos. Great job
How on earth can you slip a clutch alignment tool in with the transmission input shaft in the way? You did not address supporting
the engine ether. I wonder how many weekend warriors have torn their hair out over this one. And what is with all those rocks on the ground surrounding your work area;-)? No offense intended Scotty! I love your videos, they are informative, and interesting. This one is a stretch.
Doing a clutch now it's way more involved than what's shown in the video you'll most likely have to drop the trans all the way out
He's been doing this longer than you've been alive... You would understand unless you did it yourself.
peaceonthis265 agree
peaceonthis265 he dident torque his bolts so the clutch might be uneven at one side
He also forgot to mention it’s a procedure for front wheel drive only lol
This is the real life dale from king of the hill. just missing a beer and a smoke.
Bobby Digital You realize he is nothing like Dale right?... Scotty isn't fat? He isn't bald? He the wearer of a mustard stained undershirt? He doesn't sound like a Shell Shocked Vietnam Vet?... sooooo... in what ways is Scotty luke Dale Gribbles?
I found your video very helpful. Of course your video is not national geography channel and not designed for everyone. But as a person who is interested in the machanics of cars, I like your video and want to thank you for sharing it with everyone.
I am currently paying my mechanic $645 (parts + labor) to do this for my '02 Wrangler. Awesome to see how to do it, and doesn't appear as difficult as I thought - probably could've saved money doing it myself! but I trust my mechanic
I would replace the clutch with a full clutch kit, and PRAY the transmission has no internal bearing damage
Meanwhile, two weeks in and still can't separate the darn transmission. 😂
I just put a clutch in a 1988 honda civic and now it wont shift, did I accidentally put the clutch in backwards? or could it be a faulty throwout bearing
start over - you know the procedure now so it will be quicker second time through - take it all back apart and check it's the right way round - when its opened up give the flywheel a good look over make sure it's not blued anywhere or scratched badly - also make sure you rebuilt the each assembly correctly and keep checking here for an answer from someone more qualified than me... im no mechanic... hope you get sorted
I put the throw out bearing in backwards.
thx for letting me learn from your mistake man, seriously. sorry it happened to ya though
kingkong8974 pull it out again an try to Dee where you went wrong..I did a clutch on a 83 Toyota truck..major pain but the job was a suceesex
@@kingkong8974 haha that's awesome
This took 3 evenings on my car. I would suggest you have a piece of paper to tape the bolts/nuts/screws to and label them. It's very easy to forget where they go. Use a torque wrench for the big nuts on the hub if you don't have an electric drill with adjustable torque. Removing the gearbox from the car takes more time, but it makes it a lot easier to work on (fewer tight spaces). If you do remove the gearbox, you also need to take out the speed cable, and unhook the shifting clips.
Hey scotty, Remember me from a while ago?. I just wonted tell you that the racing clutch I put in my car really works for me. I don't stall it much and it helps on a hill around my home town. It catch's faster, so I don't have worry bout hitting other cars behind me on a hill. keep up good work n I love your lil shows on here
Chrisfix's video is 100 times better.
which one? was looking for a clutch video
my luck! he's using my exact car!
Have u done it this way
would i need many tools to do this?
+Wesley Maye just a jack and jack stand and normal hand tools on most cars, unless you're doing some crapper like BMW or Porsche.
My throw bearing starting acting up Yesterday and I have a 2003 honda civic si. This one place I called alone tried to charge me 789.95 in labor alone. Going to order a kit and try and do it myself with the hubby. Thanks for you video!! If I have any questions I will be in contact with you! Thanks again Scotty

Jesus u make it look so easy. Idk how you removed the old clutch and installed the new one with that little bit of room.
I have done this job as well before and was not as painless as you make it look.
You sir!!!...........are Talented. 👍
Finally someone has properly explained and presented how to do that job! I appreciate it! Thank you, Mister... What Mister, Master 😉
And even funny LOL
Good for you Scotty. Would you believe it, some claim you have to remove the engine and gearbox? Others claim you have to remove just the gearbox? You show that with enough skill you don’t need to fully remove either. Bravo! I wish I could do it in 4 minutes too!
You're an absolute LEGEND
Straight to the point no talking crap about what they had for breakfast good video
Geezus Scotty why must you make everything look so easy... Any of us reg. diys would take at least 3 days for this plus a lot of beers...
I see you dont take the trans away, when you read about doing this job they always make it seem like you pull the trans right out of the car. What you showed seems a lot smarter, yore not lifting the trans up and down, you leave it on the jack and should be much easier to line back up when the time comes.. Thanks for that tip all by itself, I bet its a real time and drama saver.
man how easy you make it look less than 5 mins work LOL!! I wish it was that fast you are a great mechanic though wish you were here in Chicago to work on my autos thanks for the post sir!!
Mr. Kilmer my father always told me there anit nothing like seeing a man do his job who knows what hes doing...and its true sir...
It's. very difficult to push the gear back to its place. this job need two strong persons. thanks, you helped me to do it!
Mr. Kilmer I have seen many of your videos and I have done work on cars a fair amount myself...I think your tips and instructions are right on. I believe you are doing your best to help people save time and money when it comes to there cars and repair cost ..thank you for insight and help Sir..
I like these videos because it's short all you really need is a recap of what needs to come off and everything goes smooth from there
Just another repair! I’d have someone on standby for that who had done one before, I know you have to lift the engine a few inches on a vw engine. All the same if it’s old you might as well take a chance. I did a timing belt/pumpearly in my amateur mechanic career, I reasoned if I trash the engine I haven’t lost much the van only cost 900 €. It was fiddly but I got it all lined up ok going carefully and gained in confidence. I think I would do it with thorough preparation, it kind of doesn’t make sense to run old vans if you won’t take a chance on doing repairs. Scotty the great can do man👍
You should've been an actor! You have a natural charisma (which many people don't have) and it was enjoyable to watch the video, thou I'm a girl but understood everything you said :)
Scott you are a beast at cars bro my clutch just went out and it like my clutch is feeling like a noodle so I know I have to change my clutch
Well... 4 minutes to change a clutch. To think I thought it would take me two days. Well, let me get my check list together... Camera, Check... Bad ass attitude and a raspy voice, check... Some sweet latex gloves, check... And last but not least a 2000 Ford F150 to pop out of after my 4 minute clutch video is finished, check... lol... thanks Scott, all jokes aside I love your videos. Tackling my clutch this weekend... but needless to say... it won't be as smooth as your job you just did. Keep them comming man, I appreciate every second of it.
Scotty has really changed for the past 8 yrs
Replace a clutch without a elevator… Mutch brave for me. Congratulations from Brazil…
Love your vids. Very to the point, only vids I watch on CZcams where I don't fast forward
Great tutorial. Some car fixings doesnt need to lengthy. Good job Scott!
Man, that was the best mechanic video I have seen ever, thank you Scotty.
this is Scotty's best intro music/video.
I have that exact same car. I was worried about a $1000 bill when I burn out my clutch (I am just learning how to drive stick) but you make it look so easy I will do it myself. Funny part is that I bought this car cause I had the automatic version and I know that the car is easy to fix . I have done axles tons of times and they are very easy.
I got this new clutch from ebay from techniclutch and it is awesome. I use your link to help me change my clutch. Thank you
