In Part 5 of the series we finish swapping things over to the new engine, install the slave cylinder and throw out bearing, and get the engine mated back up to the transmission. That was easier said then done. This was actually one of the most difficult engine installations because I was trying to mate the engine up to a manual transmission. If I were to do it again I think I would have pulled the engine and transmission as a unit and mated them up before installation. It might take a little more time to do the R&R but I think it would have made things a LOT easier. I suppose all's well that ends well but I would recommend you pull the transmission with the engine if you have a manual transmission. It might make your life a lot easier.

Why am I subscribed to a mechanic on youtube when I pretty much know almost zero about vehicles? Probably because you are AWESOME. I would NEVER think that watching someone put an engine together or changing brakes could be so dang entertaining but you make it so.
Victory!

Where is the pcv valve located in the truck?
I know us guys can comment on a helping hand or buddy being there for the project but most of us guys can't help our own nature of doing things alone.
But beyond that I think EricTheCarGuy wanted to do this for a friend he lost and his patience and passion can teach us that we are as good as are thoughts and are attitude that we put into any job.
Good job Eric ,love your attitude , "we will be back ,we will finish, we will win "
Wow. Cant believe they placed the slave cylinder inside the trans. Makes it seem like a piece of cake in my Hondas lol.
Great work Eric, Thank you for sharing your mad skills!
Good job! I spend all week waiting for the proceedings of the videos. It's like a sitcom. Eric this is the best channel for automotive mechanics.
Hi Eric,
It is nice to see someone who publishes the hard stuff ....not like most car shows where everything fits on the first try. After working on Volkswagen for over thirty years both Trucks and Cars I have found that putting the trans in gear and rotating the crankshaft most times allows the input shaft to find it's way into the clutch disc. Just food for thought!! If you ever have a VW question drop me a line!! Great work!! I'm a fan of your work!! Rick
Every time i watch your videos I am so Impressed how you never lose your cool, and start throwing tools or saying colorful words, unless you are editing those out, but still I love watching and learning from your videos. keep them coming eric.
Had this problem trying to mate engine and gearbox without a proper aligning tool ! Used a couple off longer bolts tightened them slightly then pressed the clutch peddle! Popped together like a dream!
Showing patience with this clutch, Eric does it.
I had the same problem when I was trying to install a Ford 351W V8 onto a manual transmission. The engine just would not slip onto the transmission. I then turned the crankshaft on the engine, so the splines on the clutch would be in a slightly different position. Boom! The engine easily slipped onto the transmission... Another nice tool to have is an engine leveler where you can change the tilt position of the engine when it's hanging from the engine hoist.
Oh the memories of doing this more of a few times in my life. I usually jacked up one rear wheel on those old rwd trucks just enough to get the tire off the ground, popped it in gear, and usually kicked the tire just enough to move the tranny input shaft to make the splines match up. I hated engine swaps.
I'M SO HAPPY THEY DECIDED TO RENEW THE THROWOUT BEARING! I was really sad that you'd have gone through ALL of this work and not have replaced every wear item (like the plug wire set) that you could get to easily. That makes me so glad now. :)
Can't wait to see it complete. Great job Eric.
incredible patience, you, sir, are the man
Great job Eric. We're rooting for you buddy
Great video! I love that camera angle at 28:28! It illustrates the "problem" so well. So even with Elvis in the room, things become difficult. Now we'll see how easy it is to "drop" those motor mounts in.
I myself have done a few of the manuals in my day. And right about 23:40 I kept saying to myself "Eric turn the crank so you can get the splines to line up correctly." LOL Well wouldn't you know at around 32:20 to got it!!! Nicely done bud!! You spoke my mind. I knew you would get it before I saw the end of the video. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see you drive it out the door.
It's so much easier to understand how the clutch goes together when the teacher has light and access afforded by a free swinging engine. Great job!
Watching you guide the engine back into place, it seems that a small engine leveler might help to fine tune the angle of the engine to make contact with the trans. That might require a large hoist to make up for the extra room needed.
Great Job Eric! We also find there is the prescribed way of doing things and then there is the actual we actually get it done. Hat Tip to your perserverence on this Sonoma. Next time you do a swap on one of these, you will be able to do it in half the time. i.e. First engine swap in a Honda civic/integra -> I pulled the engine out the top --> now I always drop them out the bottom. Keep fighting the good fight and stay dirty!
I never replace just throw out bearing ,because i have seen to many of those concentric slave cylinders leak. Sometimes I use long allthread or long bolts with head cut off ,screw into engine when i get close and use them as guide pins, they hold the weight then you can wiggle in the trans. Sometimes it seems like it will never go together . This is a good video.
Thanks for another great series.
Ive been wait for this vid for a while now .
Thank you, I enjoyed how patient u are great workmanship. great video.
Loved that camera angle from the rolling cart at 7:10 :)
love watching your video's keep them coming
Watched with a smile
Nice, Part 5! Thanks! FYI, I've done other similar clutch hydraulics before with a similar clip system, the couple I did you put the clip on first and then push the fitting in and it locks. The click mechanism allowed the fitting to go in one direction, but not back out. MUCH easier. :)
Great video Eric
Yes, yes I do.
I can tell you that I have used many more doing a much less difficult task. Good for you and your patience.
Enjoy your videos !
Nice video Mr Erick. Thanks
What I have seen done is to get some threaded rod the same threads as the bolt that goes from the engine to the transmission, cut it long and cut a 'slot' on one end, then thread it into the transmission in a couple of places. These will act as alignment pins, then once it is in and you have a few other bolts in you take them out and replace them with the correct mounting bolts.
I always pull the transmission on these ones, maybe a little more work but saved me tons of time. :)
Love watching this !
I hope you showed removing the old pilot bushing, and I missed it, cuz that's the hardest part for a DIY person. I finally bought enough different puller tools that I never have to do clutches anymore. I call that "The magic spell of the special tool". GW
Weldone sir ! I enjoyed that
Actually you have to put the lock on in the slave cilinder line and then just push the line in .is built for easy install
But everything else you make a awesome job and show smartness and experience
Helpful 👍
One of the advantage of filming everything your doing is that you can look at the footage if you forget where something goes. :D
When I did a clutch in one of these I found it much easier to mate the trans to the engine rather than vice versa. I got the engine more or less where I wanted it, then slid the transmission home before bolting it back to the cross member. For anyone who has to work on one of these in the future, that might help.
In all honesty you created a lot more work for yourself. Having replaced engines on Sonoma's/s10 a few times and done many v8 installations in these trucks I can tell you it would have been much simpler for you to pull the few bolts holding the front clip together and simply unplugged the harness Ive done these engine swaps in only a few hours the way your doing it is like doing a heart transplant through a rib cage it just slows you down and creates risk for causing damage.
when i did my 79 f150's engine getting the t/c studs back into the flex plate was a hell of a time took over 3hrs to get it back together
I love see people strugle with these things lol. If you don't have the tools for it. Use a safty belt instead of a chain. Make sure the car is in first gear. Make sure the grarbox and engine is on the same angle. Lower the gearbox if needed. Take both the engine mount off. Is no work what so ever to do this. If you know your work 😁 2 h.....? LOL... just a tip. Never use the bolt to have the gearbox and engine together ! 25 years and the longest time I have strugle with this is 20 min 😁 love your videos Eric. Keep up the good work. Sorry for my bad english.
Wow! I'm spent just watching. Great work ~Cheers~ B.Champagne
Mating up the engine to the transmission mostly requires the two faces of the mating surfaces to be parallel. With your pry bar you are mostly rotating the engine clockwise and CCW plus a little rotation to the left and right but just as important is the angle of the fore and aft direction, the nose of the engine needs to move up or down and with a chain hookup like you have, you cannot tilt the engine at all, this is where one of those screw adjustable engine carriers come in handy, PARALLEL
You should get two longer bell housing bolts, about 4 inches, and put them in two opposite middle bell housing holes. Very easy to line up the longer bolts and just slide the motor back on them.
Im glad im not the only one gaving a HELL of a time ive been fighting this thing for a while. Which is why i looked this up to see if i messed up, nope its just relentless
Same here I cannot for the life of me get the engine to mate to the transmission
Your voice is like butter to my ears lol
It wore me out too. How many hour in at the end of part 5? Really good show.
Mercedes invited me to the garage to do some work experience after my interview for an apprenticeship. Hopefully all goes well and I'll be working for Mercedes!
Some dork i know replaced the clutch, master and slave. i bled it and the pedal feels gd, it is working right at the top and there is enough drag where it will not go in to gear running. is there enough room in the flywheel that he could have installed the clutch reverse? or if he bent the tongs could it have the same effect? Thanks
Leave it to GM to make a combination slave cylinder-throwout bearing. My Frontier pickup had the slave cylinder on the outside of the trans...when it went bad, it took 10 minutes to replace, including bleeding the air out.
It would have been nice but I don't have one of those so I had to make due. It actually would have been easier if I had used my seat belt instead of a chain too I think.
Hi Eric. Where did you buy the special tool for the clutch release bearing on gearbox? min 7:40. Thanks. Regards from Mexico
Turning the engine crank to align the transmission will only work if the transmission is in gear and will not turn, Jim, master ASE Mechanic
A lot of years have passed but do you recall where you got the long block? I have a 99 S10 with a bad engine... looking for a decent engine. Thanks. Rick
That's a Perfection Clutch kit that he used, very similar to the one installed on my Ford Ranger w/ M5OD-R1 manual trans. Same PITA hydraulic line setup, only the bleeder was the normal brake style design. Overall, I think removing the engine and trans as one assembly would have been easier, but that may have posed its own challenges. Best solution might be to remove trans first, then engine. Install in reverse order. I can install my ranger trans no problem from underneath.
I remember going through this with my car when I had the engine out, I don't think I have ever cursed so much in my life before trying to mate up the engine to the trans.
What's the best hook up to replace a 2.2liter engine in a 95 Sonoma?
Just a chain works for some jobs but I think a engine tilter thing would have helped you out some
at 21:04 when you reached out your left hand and say the word 'Stuff over here" while telling us what to be careful for, there was a black wire with a green cap you grabbed. What was this wire and where does it go? 2.2l Chevy 10 'o3 85k miles.
Yes I still want to do this for a living
There is a trick where you take an old bellhousing bolt, and grind its head pointy. Helps alignment.
Good job.
I looked but could not find a main harness connection on this engine. That is what I would normally do as well.
Hi Eric! Great job,heroic work and filming in the same time.
Pardon me a suggestion,If I were you I would remove the front end of the car ,the front pannel with radiators and headlight,so I can slide forward the engine and tranny together.Replace the engine block and then assembley back the new engine and tranny together and back on the car much easier with the whole fron end clear.
I work on a scrap yard,I dissasemble cars and sold them for parts.
With friedshio,Iulian
Wow what a pain in the butt, I have never seen Eric have to fight with something this long...
Load leveler, my man! ;)
Very detailed install...whatever happened to the Subie? i bought one around the same time you did, but I blew mine up..it ran so well I forgot to maintain it, and ran it out of oil. All my other cars are constantly needing something, so i'm always up in there checking it out.
Nice... cant wait for this ^.^
Should one be worried to damage the clutch or the pressure plate with the input shaft as you are trying to get it in place?
"Meanwhile, back at the transmission." Ha! Really made me laugh.
Hmm.. i need to buy a camera as there would have bean, some language that arent "printable" in the air when/ if i had so much problem doing that "simple thing".
In this part of world, we mostly use Manual transmissions and so Automatick transmissions problems is more hard work to us or atleast to me.
But i wouldent have done that work on floor. We use lifters for cars. So i think thats my advantage on this. Great to see you working hard on great videos and more power to you on your job!
You got it now man. As long as it's on the dowels you got it. Kick it's ass Eric! Get that puppy running great and back to mom and pop where it belongs.
I was totally waiting for the "GET YOUR BLLEEPP IN THERE YOU BLEEPPPPPING PIECE OF BLEEEEEEPPP BLEEP BLEEP BLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP" lol
Look at Eric's website lot's of great info there. Plus to sign up to the forum is free!
Do you need a lot of torque with engine bolts when put together the engine?
how many times has recording your progress helped you remember how things go back together ?
Eric how come you didn't spread the moly grease evenly on the clutch splines by using the clutch disk to spread the grease and indexing it a few times and wiping the excess? I always do it that way when installing a clutch, it spreads the lube nicely.
It may not be so important to do the STAR pattern to torque down the pressure plate as you mentioned you may miss a bolt. I recommend that you do use the STAR pattern and then go around a second time in a regular clock pattern to double check. Most everything gets tightened in a STAR pattern so you should stick to that process of doing your work.
Dang Eric, you need an "engine hoist load leveler" ASAP..
Works better than motrin for your engine headaches.
It really seems like this extraordinary difficult! Those manual transmissions I have had out of a car actually have never been any problem lining up. There must be something different with this one?
Hi Eric again. I would probably have send that sylinder back to maker as it didnt have normal bleeder screw, that im used to.
So im intrested, how that type of bleeder works (if it is correct) ? Where it rotate and how you see is it bleedeing out of the thread ? ...when you bleed the thing and so mess up your new clutch.
Thanks for five.
Did you put a thermostat in there when you put the housing back on?
Eric, please do Part 6 on Monday
I'd like to know if you put a new clutch in and if so why did the flywheel don't look like its been turned
I've heard that sometimes it's easier to mate the engine with a manual transmission if the transmission is in gear. Not sure why this is but something relating to the way the spline is positioned
Some bolts you do and others you do not. Internals should be torqued with a torque wrench, but many can be done by hand. The longer you do this type of work the more you know how much for each bolt. You develop an instinct.
3.00 am. gonna watch this now
I have watched pretty much all your videos - thanks! I'm curious....do you do most repairs one handed......?? ;o)
It was getting good and then end of part 5! :(
Hola, saludos desde costa Rica,sólo quería preguntar,para que es el hueco cuadrado que no lleva nada, que está a un costado de bajo de los huecos de la salida de la admisión, o bien,el que está sobre el sensor que marca el kilometraje,gracias !!
I'm not sure about an exact number, but i guess 2000+ euro. Considering the amount of work that goes into it. And ofcourse the parts.
I now understand why you see the engine+transmission going in at once
i would suggest for a near future purchase to be a engine leveler. harbor freight has them for $25 for a 1 ton leveler which will help you with this dilemma
Eric, I did a clutch in this truck, same year, same engine. I was watching this video series from the beginning. When you were debating about pulling it all, I was thinking to myself, uh-oh.... this will be interesting going back together. It was bad enough doing the reverse, pulling the tranny and stabbing the tranny back. I have to say it was easier though, took half an hour to stab it. But, I cheated, I had my wife come outside to tug on the tailstock and rotate the output shaft while I worked the transmission jack ready with the 18 mm bolt. I can only imagine how tired you were after 2 and half hours. If I was doing that job, I probably would have dropped the tranny. The only hard part is stabbing it, which you'd have to do anyway.
The only other item I noticed was the removing the header pipe in the previous video. Somehow I was able to get to all three bolts, but I disconnected from the catalytic converter first (per FSM)
this whole vidio from start to finish took about 9,000 years.
I just continuously zone just watching the dangling legs of your clock. Speaking of time, on average, recording, moving the camera around, explaining etc; how much time does it add to a regular job?
