- Transmission removal, replacement, and installation. Learn how to remove a transmission so you can replace your clutch or flywheel, or so you can rebuild your transmission and install a new one in your car or truck.
In this video I show you the 10 simple steps on how to replace a transmission. I am doing this on a rear wheel drive 98 Mustang but the process is very similar on other rear wheel drive, front wheel drive, and even automatic cars and trucks. Each detailed step will allow you to learn how to remove a transmission yourself so you can replace a clutch, flywheel, rear main seal, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, or just swap transmissions.

To answer the most common questions in the comments section:
1.) Quality videos like this take a lot of time to produce. This and the next took me over 300hrs.
2.) Follow me on Instagram "ChrisFixit" for daily updates and tips and tricks.
3.) The exhaust on the car is the performance exhaust, just used on the track.
4.) The speedometer is fine... it spun all the way around at the last drift event and I havent had a chance to take the gauge cluster out and push it back to the other side of the peg.
5.) The other red Mustang is from this video: czcams.com/video/N-exs1iMLFU/video.html
Chris, could you please show us how you can safely put the car to four jack stands? Thanks.
300 hours? Wow.
I never safely worked under a car until I started watching your videos, just like you my mother is supportive of me working on my cars. Its nice to know she wont be as scared of me being crushed when i'm safely working under the car. Thank you for waking me up, and please continue being genuine.
Truthfully Chris the only reason why I watched this video is because I had the same problem done to me on another car I have(note I just had a bad bearing)
Soapy wooder will make it go faster.
Who else is here cause their car isn't broke, and to just enjoy the satisfaction of a Chris fix vid
Wow I did espect a heart from you Chris, cheers from Australia
i dont even own a car and ive watched every chris fix video haha
mfers voice is just therapeutic at this point honestly..
Well i'm also mechanically curious and like to know things, i've never had anybody mentor me on how to repair cars.
broke is a strong word my is "runs good".
if there's one thing I respect Chris for the way he manages to get good camera angles in the hardest of places
It takes hours to setup but I always think it’s worth it!

This is why I drive automatics. Lol good work Chris. My dad and I replaced his clutch on a late 90s camaro. Took like 5 hours but we were a 33 year old with bad eyesight and a distracted 14 year old who just wanted a wataburger when we were done. Also didn't have a transmission jack. Dad was benchpressing the transmission while I shoved it forward to install. He knew what he was doing, but I lacked the skills to be of any real use. Wish I would have taken it all more seriously at that time and appreciated the time spent together. Thanks for the memories
I'm sure he appreciated the help! It's way easier with 2 people

You're really a patient and creative man ... Installing a transmission is actually the highest suffer for car mechanics
Especially when you dont have a lift if youre doing it as a side job etc
Not really I do it every day as my job it’s easy if you have done it for couple years I’m 26
Walk in the park for me
I had fun doing this a few years ago for my 94 Mazda B2300. Clutch went out, and I had barely any money so I did the whole job with a few harbor freight sockets, extensions, torque wrench, and jack stands. Everything else was by hand, I had to lay the transmission on my chest and knees to get it off and on. Even used the truck's jack to lift the truck because I didn't have a proper jack at the time. Really taught me how much can be done with simple hand tools, and I haven't been scared about any other repair job since then.
Laying it on your chest just killed me 💀
I might have to do this for my 95 ranger

this guy is seriously the best. tutorial vids are usually harder to make than most youtube videos because they have to be thorough and detailed while also not being concise by showing the most important parts and not simply showing a 6 hour long video. chris fix has NEVER failed to deliver. and he always goes the extra mile to lay out the parts and explain what could go wrong and what could be different with different cars.
The angles and editing on this video are second to none. I’m amazed at the quality and attention to detail especially with it being so short. Awesome job!

I will likely never be able to do such complex repairs, but your videos have given me a more realistic understanding of how the components of my car,not only fit together, but how they work. At the very least, I am much more knowledgeable when talking to my mechanic. It's much harder to be taken advantage of if you have a better idea of how things work. Thank you, you are a great teacher!

Chris Fix makes the absolute best videos on how to repair/replace things on cars! No one else takes the time to get the important camera shots of connectors and sensors as Chris does and that makes the biggest difference for people who don't normally work on cars.
You are the best mechanic on the internet! Thank you so very much!

ChrisFix hey Chris I have a 2001 Ford F-350 that’s low on automatic transmission fluid I bought some Valvaline Mercon but I don’t know what brand of fluid is inside. Do you know if adding a different brand of fluid would hurt the transmission?
Thank you
Hi Chris, I have used your video now three times over three years to change clutches on different cars of mine. It is great to go back and revise things I’ve forgotten. I never would have attempted this type of task without your tuition. Your video is a complete course. Thank you.
What a relief.. it only takes half an hour to change out the transmission! 👍😎👍
I think your video on how to install a turbo will be insane
Me: instructions unclear destroyed turbo inlet
No he should put a supercharger on his mustang if he's gonna boost it. But he won't do that because he got a sport intake manifold on his mustang.
@@geometryjosh21 He could remove the sport intake. Since the power gain of a blower would blow the sport intake out of the water.
Supercharger for this car, turbo for the Del Sol!
Nah a supercharger or procharger mate
You have to be a wizard or something no normal person could explain this so well
Certainly the BEST transmission replacement video EVER. So detailed, so much room and light so we can actually see things. Thanks, Chris. Would you maybe do a similar video on a FWD car? I would like to see the difference when you don't have a drive shaft to the rear,
Great idea of getting a transmission jack. I took out a duel range hydromatic transmission from my 1955 Cadillac with a floor jack with a small piece of plywood and the transmission sure enough rolled off and pined me and a helper under the car. Those old transmissions are like an anchor for the passenger ship the Queen Mary.

Can we talk about 19:50?! I literally take breaks after doing something like that other wise I get way too frustrated. He put a camera inside! Meaning possible trial round, mistake round if it wasn’t recording, the actual video you see inside, the video you see outside, and possible another so he can fully master it. If y’all don’t appreciate how hard it was for those 10 second of footage
I installed and removed the transmission 4 times lol. That scene took me the whole day to film the inside shots and outside shots.
Carl, if you follow him on Instagram you'd see the different challenges he went through to get this video done. Anyone else might have thrown in the towel but he kept on grinding! He's living proof not all heroes wear capes. I love me some ChrisFix! 😊❤
That's why your videos are a real pleasure to watch. Well explained all the way

Honestly what amazes most about these videos after watching a few is how he gets the camera right where he’s explaining. It could be the smallest gap or tightest spot but he gets that camera there to show what he’s doing. Magic. Simply magic.

The amount of work you put into your videos is obvious. Always well edited, no BS and makes it easy to understand. My manual transmission is much simpler on a 50yr old 4 speed so I don't have all the sensors to disconnect. I've also been told I don't have to drain any trans fluid. Taking the headers off of this car is gong to be a b*tch and I'm hoping I won't have to do it.

Your enthusiasm while fixing cars makes your videos so much more fun to watch! You also inspire a lot of confidence. Although when it comes to me, the repair usually takes 5x longer and there’s a lot less enthusiasm and a lot more swearing involved 😂
Haha
I completely agree! I had a suburban for years and replaced the tyranny twice! It was also 4wd, so a lot of words came out that my kids shouldn't hear, lol!
Oh I'm sure he's swearing. His enthusiasm only comes after the job is complete and he's sitting it is computer doing the editing and voice over.

I never have and probably never will work on a transmission, but darn it I'm going to watch every second of this video
Just came across this video and fit to say, you do a "stellar" job outlining, explaining & performing the steps required to do this specific task, 5 stars and a big 👍 's up! I have yet to look at other videos but my son and I are removing the engine from his 2011 Mazdaspeed gen2 as we believe his #3 ring has failed, compression tested 155, the rest were 180. We've completely removed the front of the car and unattached/ disassembled everything we even think might be in the way of a clean lift and removal but have paused at removing the trans axles & clutch. We believe the clutch can be removed from the 5 bolts on the top where the manual clutch shifter mechanism enters the transmission. Then the 2 nuts on each end of the axles for removal. I've noted these steps to frame up where we're at with this task in hopes that you or one of your subscribers could comment, let us know if we're on track, what to keep an eye on or tell us, hold up do this instead... finding videos and good quality ones hasn't been productive. Thanks for your input in advance and again awesome video looking forward to others! Oh forgot to mention we've not yet drained the trans fluid but it's on the list. (Chris - New Brunswick, Canada)
Every mechanic in the world: "You don't want to replace your transmission. It's a lost cause, and it is far too much work."

@@jdogmcnasty1980 you could probably remove a transmission in 30 min on your own

This content and the attention to detail is incomparable. I've checked out a lot of videos and nothing comes near to this. I've got a qashqai so this may not be exactly how its done but its definitely useful.
if someone where do make a video about the most important videos on youtube this would certainly be one them. very straight forward but explained very well and didn’t just remove the trans but showed us how to re-attach everything properly with very nice camera angles.

Another perfect instructional video Chris! Always try it yourself, you have nothing to lose, whatever you're attempting to fix, it's broken anyway. As Chris mentioned, you have the satisfaction of doing your own repairs, and you saved a ton of money, and, you have new tools for later! Pretty much all of this is simple to do, just break it down into sub-categories. I took my 2010 M35-X to the Infiniti dealer, (slipping in 4th gear), they said I needed a new transmission installed for $8700! Right! Picked up a code reader, threw two codes, transmission control module was bad. Drained & dropped the pan and the C-module, checked the module circuit board...guess what, one of the flat line circuits was cracked! Cleaned and soldered a wire across, reinstalled, etcetera, work's perfect to this day, only cost me about $100 bucks with gasket and new synthetic transmission oil...got-a love it!
Hmm, it can always get more broken though, there's always something to lose

Hey, start small. I never changed the oil myself before this summer and now I’ve done spark plugs, transmission fluid/filter, complete brake jobs, and others. I’ve already saved thousands of dollars because Christfix showed me how simple it was to do some car repairs. He’s good for seeing how to generally do something, and then refer to Haynes and CZcams videos on your own car.
@@XxJaguar22 how do you know when you have a problem with your vehicle and know when or how to change it?
@@budweiserjackdaniels6664 That's a hard question. I knew that my dad didn't take care of my car except he did faithfully change the oil. It had 140,000 miles, so I knew that it was due for multiple routine things. Check engine lights are also helpful because the car knows something is wrong and it is telling you. I bought a code reader for $70 and it was the best investment I've made. You can fix the vast majority of check engine lights for less than $100 and it would've cost that much for a mechanic to tell you what the problem is and not fix it.
Fabulous. This should played in Auto Shop classes everywhere! One thing to read the manual but quite another to see it actually being done.
These are the best camera angles I have ever seen for car disassembly.

Fellas why does it burn sos
Hey Chris my husband and I just watched your video and I was very impressed. So I told him that's Kool you can get it done in 30 mins lol.... Great Job
Thank you so much chris , i have a 2004 f150 rear wheel drive and i used this video to help me replaced my transmission and ive never done it before
it's amazing how rusty exhausts can get in such a short period of time
Thats nothing. I used to have a 2011 dodge journey. That exhaust was looking like that the day I got it out the dealer..
Thats looks like his Old exhaust
the new one was stainless steel no?
@@Wootsand might be a bunch of caked on dirt. I thought it was stainless too
@@benjaminschmied7998 he is better than you by fixing cars dont tell that is nothing
First thing I'm doing in 2019 is watching this whole video. :D
802 Garage me 2
Lol same
Same
Same
Why hewo there, guess im not alone then
5:18 apart from being a real good mechanic and awesome at explaining details the video editing is amazing as well. Can’t get enough of these videos.
i dont even own a car but i like watching chris fix
Me too at 4am
Extremely comprehensive video, well done as always. If I was a high school or even college automotive shop teacher I would show this video as a how to guide before any practical work was done. Thanks.
Never go in dry
What do you mean? Or better yet is this referencing ANYTHING to do with a transmission? 😏
😄
you are a lifesaver. just the fact that you’re doing it on the old mustang, i have one too, is perfect!
SO awesome how clear this video is! No BS chit chat and He follows a check list! My kind of video! Helps a person memorize the steps just by his positivity and precise steps! I am Gonna have to subscribe! This is the first time I have seen a Chris Fix video! Love it!
Thanks a lot!
I’ve learned 99% of what I know about working in cars from you. Thanks Chris!
Awesome!
Me too!
Normally don't leave a comment but this video took a lot to make, so I'll show as much support as I can here
Thanks a lot man! Much appreciated!
Great camera angles on even the crammest of crammed spaces.
It's only from your videos that I finally learned to fix up my ride on my own, most other videos just left me confused on some steps and gave up in the end.
Thanks and that’s awesome! I’m glad the video is helpful!
Hey Chris, I love the video’s. Iv learnt most of what iv done thanks to you. I actually replaced the entire front end suspension on my 1999 Honda Civic EX Coupe mostly based on your tutorial(s) but as a result of my lower ball joint breaking, my cv axle snapped. Which resulted in me having to having to change it out, which then made me have to refill my transmission, and in doing that I realized just how bad the health of my transmission really is. I guess what I’m asking is, when you get the chance. I’d really appreciate it if you’d do an in depth tutorial not only on how to replace your transmission, but also how to determine what kind of transmission you have, so you can find the proper replacement. My car has an automatic 4 speed I believe. Basically I’m just asking for an in depth tutorial on how to replace a front wheel drive automatic transmission. I’d be forever grateful, thank you!!!
I want a “behind the scenes video”. I feel like that would be interesting
Yeaa
I support this!
yes we need one
Y’all are greedy!
and not a single f-bomb was dropped... truly impressive
The power of editing! Lol
At about 10:30 , I personally dropped plenty of F-Bombs to get that top starter bolt. Used enough extensions to reach the front of the engine.
6:40 nut drops into the frame where it may never be found again
Chris: "Good"
I drop many during removal/install of transmissions lol
I’m reinstalling the trans right now and it don’t wanna close the gap, truly driving me psycho lol
Excellent helpful video which helps enormously by including very valuable additional information not made clear enough when relying solely upon workshop manuals. thank you
