@comunismofóbico & cristiano good suggestion, thank you.
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!!!
Thanks, inasingtr. I’m glad it helps to see it done on the floor. Not gonna lie though, I wouldn’t mind having a lift.
how to install corolla manual transmission without a trans jack . i have a regular jack@@ToolDemos
You sir, are a CHAMPION. Your efforts and attention to detail are greatly appreciated.
That’s really awesome to hear. Thanks for that and happy wrenching.
This is the best video I have ever seen regarding removal of a transmission. Every step was easy to follow. Great work
Wow, thank you Ronald! I really appreciate that.
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!
You’re welcome Jose. I’m glad it helped.
@@ToolDemos i posted this in your other video, but I also wanted to add it here since there are still so many of these cars still out there.
For the Toyota Matrix/Vibe/Corolla large type inner CV's, I found the CTA Tools 1040 CV Joint Puller Adapter for a slide hammer to be a perfect fit. It's made for the F150 inner CV, and so considered a large. $13.00 at Autozone in the USA or free if you rent and return.
Respect, making his own tool to remove a part!!! 💪
Thank you for this It looks more complicated than it was your video really helped I changed the clutch in my 2014 corolla
That’s an accomplishment, way to go!
How many hrs did it take you to change the clutch out
Awesome video. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks, Stephen. Cheers!
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
Thanks, happy wrenching!
Awesome job! Telling us what size sockets we need is great.
Thanks Countryfarm Boy, I’m glad it was helpful.
@@ToolDemos Top notch audio and video as well. I just pulled a motor and trans from a Pontiac Vibe GT at a junkyard and your videos were very helpful! I'm a subscriber now/
@@CountryFarmBoyUSA that’s great news! Congrats on getting them out. Hope all goes well putting them in.
Amazing video and way helpful in replacing my clutch, flywheel and axles. Took a bit longer than 30 minutes though lol
Great! Really glad it helped.
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...
Thanks, Barry. I’m really glad you found this helpful. You shouldn’t have any trouble with your Matrix, the two engine bays are nearly identical. Happy wrenching!
I'm definitely studying this. My 2010 Toyota Matrix S AWD 2.4L auromatic lost reverse. U140F transmission. R and D pressure tests check out although I can't go much above 2200 RPMs (limp mode?). I checked linkage, installed a remanufactured valve body, verified manual valve was hooked up, changed transmission speed sensors, solenoid wire, bought a master rebuild kit and installed new steels and disks, installed a remanufactured direct drum with new clutches, by accessing the rear case behind the driver side front tire wi th our having to drop the transmission, but that didn't solve the lost reverse issue so I am planning to pull the whole thing to inspect the rear case components.
Thank you. I'll be tackling this on our corolla in short order.
Right on! I hope it goes easy for you.
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.
Wow good job.
Thank you for the detailed video, you gave me the confidence to do it myself and save 1800 dollars. Thank you
Great to hear. Hope all goes well, happy wrenching.
I watched this and was shocked by the grim reality that I would be way in over my head if I were to attempt this. Then my clutch got so bad that I was driving on the highway in 3rd gear... I now have my car all over my buddy's garage. And I'm not drowned yet, surprisingly. If I can remember how to put it back together again, I may be able to go home next week.
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.
Thanks for sharing
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....
Oh yeah, lots of work. Good luck with all the repairs. Happy wrenching!
Thank you for an awesome video.
My pleasure, Bill. I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for the tips sir really helpful.
I appreciate that, Shawn. Glad to hear it.
Great video, thank you. It must be like living in a fairy tale though living somewhere they don't throw salt on the road!
Yeah, I’ve seen rustbelt cars, no thanks!
Thank you. Useful video.
Glad it was helpful!
excellent instructional, thanks Steve ! #tooldemos
Thanks, bobgox! I just picked up a donor car today, more videos in the series are on the way.
@@ToolDemos > sounds great, looking forward to it ! best :)
best explain ever , barvo and thank you
Thanks Bike Story, much appreciated.
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😂😂😂
I'm glad you're focused on your career and going to school, Diego. Learn everything you can, ask lots of questions. You got this!
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?
Hi Paul, I think so, provided you have access to proper tools. Big stuff like jack, jack stands, transmission jack, slide hammer to remove axles (some can be rented). Also ‘special’ tools like torque wrench, axle nut socket, and long extensions.
With a car that old you will no doubt run into rusty fasteners. They can be tough to remove and might need a torch or other methods to break them free (especially exhaust fasteners).
I recommend having a look around the car to see what you’re in for. Also, give yourself enough time to do it, factoring in problems like broken bolts that you may have to deal with. Expect a trip to the hardware store or parts store to buy replacements.
I hope this helps, good luck with your project - when you solve the little problems along the way, the experience will be that much more satisfying.
Well done and helpful!
Thanks 👊🏼
Good video! Keep it going
Thanks!
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
The difference you feel is probably going to be coming from the pressure plate. That’s the outside cover with all of the ‘fingers’ in the middle pointing towards the center. If the new plate is weaker than the original pressure plate you’ll feel that in the clutch. Give it a test by slowly letting out the clutch with the brake engaged to see if it slips at all.
Also, do you remember tightening down the bolts for the pressure plate to the correct torque?
@@ToolDemos thank you
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Good job I will work with you. Bless you
Thank you
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?
The short answer is, you’re fine.
Toyota used to make that clutch disc with rubber dampers, but that part number was discontinued. The new Toyota part number is: 31250-12360-84. That new part also has spring dampers, so for whatever reason Toyota decided to change that part.
Excellent video and without any cursing, truly impressed. Any thoughts on used, remanufactured vs new transmission for my 2005 Corolla?
Thanks Leo. A new transmission from Toyota will cost about $3200 and they will only honor the warranty if the job us performed by an authorized shop.
A remanufactured transmission is about $2200 and depending where you go - you’ll have an easier time with the warranty.
Depending where you find a used transmission they can be almost as expensive as the remanufactured ones. Because of that my choice would be reman.
Good luck with your Corolla.
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?
Thanks A Dub. Yeah, honestly it’s a different generation but Corollas don’t change much. I’ve worked on a few, though not an ‘11, but even different generations are very similar nuts and bolts wise.
@@ToolDemos I appreciate your reply. A family member of mine has an 05 Corolla that I’ve worked on a few times and remember being surprised how the chassis looked identical to my 2011 and the engine bay is very similar. So you’re right about them not changing much. Toyota improves on what they know works. I’m sure there will be some obstacles I’ll have to figure out but having your video as a base reference will greatly help and gives me confidence in completing the job. I’ll be changing the clutch within a couple weeks and will let you know how it went. Thank you again for the video!
@@adub5208 that sounds awesome, I’m looking forward to hearing how it went.
@@ToolDemos Had some nice weather and time do the clutch replacement. First day I got the transmission out, got the flywheel resurfaced yesterday and trans back in. I finished the job today and no issues! It ended up being very similar to the video you made. The most difficult and time consuming part of the job was actually removing and reinstalling that rear transmission mount. What an absolute pita. My model has an excessively long stud on the mount bracket that drops through the frame, but when you go to remove it it ends up hitting the firewall and is extremely difficult to remove and reinstall. Also, I couldn’t justify buying a $125 transmission jack that I’d use once so I made a diy trans jack using a floor jack and ratchet straps lol. A real trans jack would have been wonderful but it worked out. Anyways, just wanted to thank you again for the high quality, informative and professional video. Great things are coming your way!
@@adub5208 that is super cool. Congrats on getting it done yourself, good job! You should have a lot of miles left on that car, especially with you taking good care of it.
Thanks for writing back , enjoy the rest of your weekend.
My guy wasn’t taking no for an answer😂 super good video
Thanks Santino.
Good job thanks for the video excellent
Glad it was helpful.
Can I use a 2003 Corolla automatic transmission in my 2003 Pontiac Vibe, both are 1.8 L?
Hi K King, the Matrix/Vibe had several different automatics depending on trim level. They will all physically fit into your car, but shift characteristics and gear ratios are different. Check the VIN plate in the driver’s door, it will give you the model number for the transmission. I would make sure it matches yours before you do the swap.
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!
Hi Rody, if you go in from the passenger wheel arch you’ll see it up there.
@@ToolDemos Awesome, will try that today, car is raised high, wheels removed and the axles are not in yet, that is one of the challenges that bracket and also from the same spot try to reach and connect the power steering high pressure hose, the one that goes from rack pinion to power steering, after that is done then I can install the axles and done with the lower section of engine.
What wrench did you use for drain the transmission?
Hi Daniel. I used a 24mm socket on a 3/8 ratchet.
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?
.
Hi John. No, the subframe stayed intact, the transmission just dropped straight down. As far as snap rings go, I assume you mean the rings on the end of the CV axles. Those are compressed as you hammer the axle out and they stay in place on the axle. I made a video to clear that up, you can watch here: czcams.com/video/y9F9Z8-9Nb0/video.html
Thanks for your feedback. Happy wrenching.
@@ToolDemosyes that's what I mean. I mangled the rusty snap ring on the passenger side thinking it's what kept my axle from pulling out but it seems based on your feedback I just need to leave it be and by then right tool like a axle puller/slide hammer. I'm working on dropping a U140F transmission on a 2010 Toyota Corolla Matrix 2.4L AWD and its been a big pain figuring out how to separate it from the bell housing and drop it. I have an ATV jack beneath it ready for the moment it drops. Thanks for the videos! They've been a blessing.
@@jcisar it’s pretty exciting when you decide to do your first major repair like this. Once you’re finished it’s like you leveled up and your confidence will grow. You can do it!
@@ToolDemos Thanks man. My family thinks I'm insane. The Fed Ex driver who delivers my car parts and tools predicts I'll be flat bedding it out to a repair shop.
This being my first major repair, theres a big fear of the unknown which makes things intimidating, but I notice my confidence growing as I take things apart and learn how systems fit together. Videos like yours make this possible.
@@ToolDemos I'd love to get a lift but my garage has the standard 8 ft ceiling. I should at least buy myself a creeper so I'm not shimming around on ATF-soaked card board. 😂
I hope I can put things back together after I rebuild the transmission. In my frustration and haste I let myself lose track of where some of the bolts and nuts go. 😅
Do you have a link to that long extension , half inch to 3/8?
Yup, here ya go: shop.snapon.com/product/Extension-Adaptors%2C-Industrial/1-2%22-Drive-36%22-Extension-Adaptor%2C-1%2F2%22-Internal-Drive-x-3%2F8%22-External-Drive/GAX36
@@ToolDemos Thanks!
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.
The crankshaft position sensor on that engine is what gives you the RPM signal. It is also a critical component that the engine computer uses for fuel delivery and spark timing. It’s located under the intake manifold near the front of the engine. I’d recommend finding it and inspecting the harness to make sure it has a good connection. You could try wiggling the wire while the engine is running to see if that causes the same issue.
@@ToolDemos Thank you. I will check that out.
The frustration is that it's not throwing a check engine light. It's like I need an Old
School mechanic.
Is it the same process for an automatic trans in a 2006 corolla
No Richard this is a similar process, though. With an automatic, you also have to disconnect the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler lines before you can remove the transmission.
excellent
Thanks, I appreciate you.
Is there an install video as well? Considering tackling my 2016 Corolla transmission.
Sort of: czcams.com/video/NiFpm9Agy9A/video.html I ended up installing it through the top attached to the engine
Do you have to reprogram the TCM if replacing with a used one?
This one was a manual, no TCM. For automatics this old, I doubt it, but you might get a second opinion.
Thank you! What's the approx. weight of transmission?
I would say 75 or 80 pounds.
@@ToolDemos Do you think there will be significant difference in weight for 2.0 D4D 116hp Corolla Verso transmision? It's still 5 speed manual gearbox.
We don’t have those here in the States, so I could only guess. I think with a heavier vehicle and more powerful engine you’ll definitely see an increase in weight for that transmission.
sweet! you are a beast!
Thanks. 👊🏼
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
Hello Sajid. Yes, the transmission I removed is a 5 speed and the replacement is a 6 speed. Both are from the same generation cars 2003, 2006. Everything fit okay.
@@ToolDemos thanks for replying
@@ToolDemos my car is Toyota Corolla 2009 model Pakistan so I can change engine please suggest me which one Dual vvti engine install
You should be able to find that 1.3L engine in the Toyota iQ or Yaris.
Is there difference than a auto trans? Need to replace my auto transmission on a 04 corolla
Thanks
There are differences. First, you need to unbolt the torque converter to split the trans from the engine. Second, there are oil cooler lines that you must disconnect from the radiator. Third, the cable linkage and electrical connections are different.
@@ToolDemos appreciate the reply... have a good one!
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.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that next time.
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 !!!!!!!
Yeah, it did take longer. Glad it was helpful.
Do i need the same work on automatic transmission?
It’s about 95% the same.
Nice
Thanks
Was this a c150 transmission you pulled out from the car?
It’s a C59
Do you have a in with the new video?
Yup, I do. I ended up putting engine and trans in on this video: czcams.com/video/NiFpm9Agy9A/video.html
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.
Hi Spock. $1k for labor on that transmission seems a bit pricey, but the JDM transmission price at $1k I would say is about average.
@@ToolDemos Thanks for the information. I lived in Southern California and everything is quite expensive. A lot of auto product from Amazon such as brake cleaner is not allow to ship here. We also ban the sale of Gas lawn mover and Gas leaf blower. 🤭
@@callmebackfriday2 yeah, that’s almost like another country compared to here.
$1000 Labor for trans replacement around here is pretty good.
@@chada75 Agreed. Due to shortage of new car computer chip, not only new car price goes up (MSRP plus $5000), used cars also goes up and even installation of old used engines / transmission also goes up. Very bad timing if cars got totaled or got stolen.
I did not see the the part of you unscrewing the the torque converter from the engine
Lol
Wow, that's a lot of work.
Not really some fwd cars the subframe comes off as well
That’s very difficult 😅too much, got Lost between all those cables and wires 😅😅
Is this automatic transmission?
No, that’s a 5 speed manual.
@@ToolDemos thank you! You think the manual transmission is it harder than the automatic transmission removal? Thanks in advance for your answer!!!
@@mtsanchez27 no Marcos, they are both about the same difficulty. Each has different issues you have to deal with, but they aren’t that tough.
@@ToolDemos thank you very much!!
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.
Better to know now than after you get started on it.

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"
Yeah, he has a Mercedes payment to make. You need to be considerate.
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.
I laughed because I’ve definitely been there. You’ll get it, then you’ll have some cool stories to tell.
Hello, i have 2010 corolla broken transmission, mine 9pins. Can i replace with 10 pins or have to be 9 pins?
Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean. What pins?
Thank you. Very useful video.
I’m glad it was helpful.
