    Old school trick to remove pilot bushing or sealed bearing- pump grease into the cavity behind the bushing then find a punch that fits close in the center of the bearing. A good rap with a hammer will pop the bearing out by the hydraulic pressure of the grease. It works. Really like the school type videos. Big fan of your channel.

    This is the best video I have ever seen on how to installed a manual transmission.. I didnt know the clutch fingers had to be adjust on the pressure plate. i did not do that and now my truck will not engage the engine .will not go over 20 mph. (ls swap to sm465 k5 blazer on 40 swampers).. motivated to tear it apart and make the adjustment..,,great video .Trade school level for sure...

    • @SmudgyContent
      @SmudgyContent 5 років тому

      Yes basically... also revmatching down shifting should be avoided... 07 Dakota original clutch still and I'm just hitting 191k miles this is with alot of city driving county driving... I tend to skip gears in the open zone but in city I really cant... also pick a good low gear for slow driving dont lug the motor it builds oil pressure isnt good to be in a higher gear and try to accelerate... no point in double clutching unless you're driving an 18wheelher that's beat to hell and kinda have to.

I've managed to take out the pressure plate, clutch and flywheel for recon and skimming. I want to assemble it back. Called about 3 mechanics and they failed. Now I've decided to DIY following your video. It's a pulling clutch towards the transmission when engaged

    I had the clutch pedal assembly go out on me and disintegrate, luckily just as I got to pull into the door of my mechanic's shop. Took 3 days to repair, because there were no spare parts available, so the collection of pieces were taken to a welder and they put the kit back together with weld and extra metal plate.
    when changing them very important to get that pilot bearing lubricated inside the housing, with just a little very tacky grease, and also lubricate the splines with some molyslip compound, straight out of the tube, bit on a clean rag and wipe the whole spline section to leave a thin film, and then use the rag to wipe the tips of the fingers as well, along with the pivot on the release bearing. Finish with a bit more on the pivot point, mixed with the super tacky grease to keep it smooth. As well on the outside of the pivot itself on the cable or slave cylinder bearing point. You just want a thin film to lubricate better than dry metal on dry metal, but not so much that it will get flung out into the clutch friction lining and ruin the clutch.
    When assembling clean pressure plate surface and flywheel surface with a clean cloth and brake cleaner, and any spots of oil on the friction surfaces ( try not to do this, it reduces grip considerably) hit liberally with brake cleaner and let dry before assembly.
    Only clutches that are designed to work in oil work in oil, the others all slip badly. Conversely wet clutches work really badly dry, they tend to burn up as they overheat. Wet clutches use only the OEM lubricant, not just whatever you have, it will end badly.
    Yes I have degreased clutch packs by going out back, making a fire in a steel drum, soaking the friction liner in petrol and burning the oil out, but that was near unobtanium to get, discontinued by the German OEM (Lenze) around 1975. eventually found something that was usable there as friction material, just had to be cut to diameter and have a brass sleeve for the inner diameter.

    So I just took the transmission out of my truck and it’s my first time working on a manual. The throughout bearing is definitely bad and has a lot of we are on it from the fork, like gouging into the throw out bearing itself. What I was experiencing is if I needed to go into reverse the whole drive line would violently, and I mean extremely violently Bang into gear. The transmission transfer case and driveshaft would all violently jolt. Same thing in the first gear. It was better to start the vehicle in one of the two if you needed to start it in backup or go into forward. I really hope replacing the pivot ball, the fork and the throw out bearing is what is going to solve my problem because I simply don’t have the money for a new transmission also, it would smell like burning breaks altogether when I took it all apart I expected something as severe as what is on this video, but everything was in good condition except the forte, and the throughout bearing itself the pressure plate looked brand new all this stuff is about a year old the mechanic that put everything in for me, put it in wrong. He had it to where the fork was riding on the bearing itself and within a year it destroyed it

But when the engine is off it will g o in every gear and you don't even have to push the clutch in. I figure uts most defiantly a clutch issue so I have already ordered the parts.
