Hey just wanted to say great job! All the other video I seen people take off bumper and radiator and fluids just alot extra.. I'm going to be Doing my clutch next week and this was very helpful thank you.👍
Thank you for this great, detailed video. One question. though. I am doing the same job on an xA, not an xB like yours. The manual says I need to drop the crossmember to get the trans out. Did you have this problem? Did you have to detach the exhaust at the header? Thanks again.
Thank you! I bought my first Scion the day you posted this. Greatly appreciated. I've done plenty of clutches, just never a Toyota. There is no pilot bearing on these?
I'm not sure about the pilot bearing. This is my first time doing this job and the only things that came in the clutch kit were the clutch disc, pressure plate and release bearing.
This was a great video straight to the point and good angles. Did you mean remove passenger wheel off? @ 29:40 in video. And is it easier to separate tranny from engine with both axels out just like you did the driver side in video? Thanks.
Yes just like I did on the driver's side, I would also remove the passenger side wheel and axle to make it easier to reinstall the axles into the transmission.
@@mizk419 At 12:40 in the video where I refer to "The third mount bolt from under the car", is this the bolt you are asking about? For that bolt I was able to squeeze a combo wrench in there and unscrew the bolt little by little.
Thank you, I appreciate the video but IMHO you glossed over the difficulty related to the rear motor mount. I'm no professional but I consider myself a very experienced shade tree and I've done other FWD clutches. I'm writing this after a few hours of still trying to get out bolt #3 top behind the motor mount.
There are three bolts from the motor mount to the Trans. One is exposed and easy. Two sit in the middle of the "U" with the motor mount behind. Can't get a socket on it and can't get much leverage with a box wrench. The one on the top only gave me about an inch and a half L literally just got them out after many hours. Humorously I have no clue yet how I'm going to get them back, Remove the motor mount after the Trans is out I guess. Thank you for asking. @@morantb
I think I know which one you are talking about. I had to wrap a string around the bolt in the direction needed so that when I unwind it it threads in. Then I held the bolt against the hole with a long screwdriver while I pulled the string with the other hand.
Not sure I can top that but it's going in my bag of tricks. To get enough leverage to break the top rusted bolt free I held a box wrench in with a screw driver then attached a length of chain hooked over the open end of the wrench to a come-a-long and the hitch on my van. Clunky but it worked. @@morantb
@@martinmacias246 Ah yes, that mechanism will spring apart if the zip ties aren't there to hold it together. Not a big deal. It goes back together relatively easy.
@ if the flywheel IS serviceable leave it alone? Fact is it looks like you put new parts on an old flywheel. You have in uneven surfaces at that point kinda like doing a pad slap on brakes. You are that far in. Why not pull the flywheel and have it resurfaced or replaced?
For a second there I thought you were showing off the fact that your hood support rod clip isn't broken @2:10 hahahaha

Yeah not sure why they take the whole front bumber off, it's def not needed. Glad it helped!
this is a great video you did an awesome job thank you

@@tomslover7512 I did not have to mess with the exhaust at all

boss i have a question how high should i lift the scion from the ground to remove the transmission in the bottom. thanks for the answer boss
I used QuickJacks which lift the car 17" off the ground and that was good. Cant remember if less would have worked or not.

Thanks appreciate the description have you ever looked into the night core headlamp Pretty bright gives out great light for the size.
How do you get the bolt out from the passenger side above where the axle is located? Mine is stuck because the metal guard thingy is blocking it.
I need to see a pic of what you are referring to?
How can I share a pic with you?
@@mizk419 do you know where in the video I am working on this bolt?

@@mizk419 Can you take a pic of the bolt in question on your car and upload it to your account and send me the link?
What is the tool called that he used to suspend the transmission from?
Engine Support Bar
@@morantb Man not sure why I didn't ask sooner. I've been scouring the internet and not even google could pull it up with my description. Thank You!
Why didn’t the centering tool work?
Also, thanks for the video, I have to change out my clutch in my 2006 xB soon
I tried to modify it to work but couldn't make it happen. The shape of the end wasn't correct for fitting into the fly wheel center.
You didn't show how you get that Rear Transmission Mount apart🤔🤔🤔
Looks like it will be Fun
Yeah sorry about that. I got into it and forgot to record. Some angles were hard to get on film while working as well.

What is preventing you from getting that bolt out ?

What's with the zip ties?
Can't remember, can you paste the time in the video where I use them?
@@morantb 4:41

I like that move it's clever, just did it on mine!
Should have changed rear main seal while you were doing this
no pilot bearing??,,,,no NEW flywheel?....and some poeple comment to you good job....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA...i wouldnt trust your work
First of all, there is NO PILOT BEARING on this engine. Second, if the flywheel is serviceable, leave it alone.
