- I was forced to pull and repost this video after it was brought to my attention that it uploaded in low res. Sorry about that!
If you watched the body mount video, then you knew this one was coming... I left off last time with the clutch bell crank bracket touching the frame, and things just weren't right... I prioritized this project ahead of everything else because it was so bad, and I'm glad I did! In replacing these parts, I also found that there was no bushing on the passenger side of the assembly, and the bracket that bolts to the bell housing had TWO stripped bolt holes! Yikes.
I think we're in much better shape after this, so I'm going to move on to the seat project again.
Also... I REALLY AM SORRY FOR THE AUDIO. I tried using a new shotgun mic for this video and I think the sound quality may be even worse than before. Stick with me as I try to troubleshoot these issues. It's not easy to knock the rust off of making videos regularly after so many years. I think I'm going to test out a cheap lavalier mic setup next.

Thanks for watching!
I love the "takeaway notes" part of your videos!
You watched all the way to the end? That’s amazing! Lol. You are the 1%
Great job on a much needed repair. The clutch pedal sees constant use and that tube hadn't seen any grease for a minute. Can't wait for the PRP seats install.
Thanks! I have a weird feeling that the previous owner bought the clutch bell crank kit but forgot to buy the bushing rebuild kit so they just put it together without it… the tube being that empty leads me to believe it was never even filled! Usually old grease is a pain in the butt to get rid of!
I am glad to see that you are doing these videos again. You were the first "Jeep Channel" that I followed back in the early days.
Thanks! Yeah, I’ve been at it a while! Glad to be back though.
Spring hangers beef and steering box brace def recommended.
I also loosen the aircraft nuts on my Currie tow shackles for a little extra articulation.
Yeah the welds are so bad on these spring hangers I’m torn on whether to try to cut them out and add new ones or just plate them in better. Either way, it needs to be addressed immediately!
Great job Jarrett you made it look easy. I have a lot of Tekton tools and I love them . They are very well made and I have never had a problem with them. Tell Steph hi for me . Dave
Thanks, Dave! And yeah, these tools are perfect to grab and go, so I think I will be taking them with me on the Rubicon Trail. I will tell Steph you said hi!
I need to do this job this weekend, thanks for the video, it'll make it easier for me.
It’s super easy!
Nice job on the upload in higher resolution! WAY easier to watch! Lol
Thanks for your help with that. I will be uploading in 4K from here on out. I did a semester at UA-cam University this morning
@@CRAWLTV lol. You hit the books hard this morning! Eh, no prob. ain't nothin but a G Thang
👍🏻👍🏻
This is the third and last time uploading this video. 😂 Final Cut Pro exported it as a 32GB file so I need to figure out how to compress the bit rate for future videos, but I’m not going to mess with this one again
@@CRAWLTV worst feeling ever!! I had a similar issue with several videos
👍👍👍
