Great video! This helped TREMENDOUSLY to understand what I was going to get into to do the job! Thank you for capturing all of the smaller details, like the wire harness connectors, how-to's on the clips and exhaust hangers. Those are the things that always seem to frustrate the most. Well done! Thanks for the time and effort you put into making this video for the rest of us!
This was a great video with the exception of how to take the shifter knob off. All you need to do is push down on the shifter knob turn it a quarter turn and you can pull it right off. Other than that though very informative and I appreciate it.
I learned a trick to remove exhaust hangers with wd40 and channel lock pliers to push the rubber over the metal hook then once it is to that point the pliers give good grip to finish pulling it off. By far the easiest way I’ve done it.
Amazing explanation on every single detail, really appreciate it, hopefully someone can help you recording next time, thanks for taking your time and effort on this video 💪
well done video, very detailed. I'm about to tackle this, so this will definitely help. my only disadvantage is I'll be doing this on my back. That's going to suck! lol
@millerstv great video! I'm late to party, but I'm doing the Centerforce II R&R and CF hyd throw out bearing. My old OEM bearing and adapter was embarrassing loud. lol Questions about torques please. 1. drive shaft bolts 2. bell housing bolts 3. Transfer case bolts 4. Cross member bolts - had my transmission replaced by Jeep dealer 4 years ago but I only had 1 out of 4 nuts still on. 😲 Thanks again for making this video...too expensive to take to shop
Sorry man i havent seen this. Had alot going on past while and kinda let my channel be neglected. I hope u got everything done and ur jeep is back togther sorry again
Leave the transmission jack under it but let it down a lil it lets the engine and transmission twist on the engine mounts and I have a 2 foot extension i stood behind the transfer case and reached over it with an impact
@@johnt120 what i do is let it all the way down till engine is holding it then jack back up maybe 2 or 3 inches ans let weight rest on jack instead of motor mounts ive pulled dozens of transmissions this way and never had a prob
For anyone installing it and having a hard time. Remove the transfer case which is the 14mm bolts. It frees up a majority of the weight. I also had to file the splines on the disc that faced the transmission side because after failing to put it in several times the splines flared out a little to make it difficult. Good luck
The shifter knobs are easy enough to remove without breaking them. Use a plastic pry tool to pop the retainer ring off and as you pull the knob out, just keep twisting left and right. It will take both hands, but will pop off.
How many miles have you got out of your clutch so far? I only have 18,000 miles on my Centerforce dual friction clutch and it is slipping if i get on it too hard in first gear. The factory clutch had 114,000 on it when i changed it out.
It hardly gets drove think it's got maybe 2k miles on it since this install and that's pushing it it manly sets in the shop honestly it's kinda of taken a back burner to alot more thangs and life mostly but so far so good
The factory clutch i replaced for a guy was slipping like yours , i think he had about same mileage ( 165,000 kms) , he supplied this new clutch and flywheel set up. 6 months later a rattle came , pulled trans back out and replaced parts Centre Force recommended for release bearing/fork assembly. Rattle is back 3 months later. New recommendation is convert to a hydraulic set up from clutch fork from factory.
Ratchet straps to the roll bar helps pull the shift knob off. No need to remove anything. If doing it by hand be careful not to punch yourself in the face. Bit early swapping that out. Coulda got at least a few hundred miles out of those rivits especially with those pad pieces still hanging around in there.
holy smokes, unbolting the transmission and transfer case was 10X longer and harder than doing the clutch and flywheel. so many clips an cables in hidden spots. good video, straight to the point and detailed. also that driver REALLY destroyed that clutch lol. that's not even burn out that's melted and fused.
Awesome. That’s not too far. I’m in Florida I have a 2013 two door I just don’t have a shop or a lift and I feel doing it on the ground would be terrible. I can tell my clutch is on the edge.
Wait till you do it a second time! These jeeps have a rattle which Centreforce claims it in the throw out bearings retaining springs being stretched on installing it to the fork , the fork being worn and the pivot ball being worn. Also the little shine on the bearing support is wear. Add all that wear and presto changeo = rattle . NOT TRUE! Been there , done that ! Mr. Clutch who put out an extensive video explaining this for Centre Force now has put out a new video ( July/22 ) for McCloud Racing Clutch converting mechanical to hydraulic systems for release bearings to eliminate rattle . Since this video was new this July the jury is still out but hope this does fix the rattle. Anyone who is doing these clutches do the research to inform your customers about the issue . They can decide to upgrade or not. Im not sure if Mr. Clutch worked for Centre Force but now works for Mc Cloud or not , or just represents both company s
That is not the way to remove the shift knobs. All you have to to is grab them and jerk straight up on them and they pop off. Don’t pop that ring down either.
Well hopfully urs came of that easy this one did not thats why I explained couple different ways but that one was stuck and I was tired fooling with it but thank u for watching
Please don’t do that to your shift knob. That’s not how they come off. There’s a T-45 underneath the boot that you need to take the center console out and it all comes out as one unit.
And as far as the shifter no I cover that in a separate video u basically have to brake it with channel locks but ya it's a pain in the rear that's for sure a dumb design from jeep another way they get charge u money

Great video! Thanks for not wasting everyone’s time with a 30 min intro and just going into the instruction. This video helps!

Ya ive since learned that to makes it way easier. Thanks for watching hope it helped

Thank u glad u liked it hope it helped u
Automotive repair = 8+ hours of prep time, 1 hour to fix / replace part (ok maybe 2 hours), 6 hours to put back together. But nicely done!
well done video, very detailed. I'm about to tackle this, so this will definitely help. my only disadvantage is I'll be doing this on my back. That's going to suck! lol
A lift definitely helps lol but im glad the video helps of have any questions id be glad answer them what I can remember haha good luck with it

I have a 14' jk needing a new clutch ...TY!
Any recommendations for a stock 2012 jk clutch kit? THANK YOU for this video!
No problem hope it helped. And this clutch kit has been great id check and see if they make one for your year model. Im aure they do
use a strap wrench on the shift knob to turn it 20° anti-clockwise then it pulls up easy and doesn't wreck it.
TY for the tip!
Thanks for the help! How did you get to the top bolts on the transmission? They are way up there...
Leave the transmission jack under it but let it down a lil it lets the engine and transmission twist on the engine mounts and I have a 2 foot extension i stood behind the transfer case and reached over it with an impact
Oh ok. That seems to work better than what I was trying. 🤭🙄
Thanks!
@@johnt120 anytime buddy if need anything else just let me know
Actually one more thing! How far can I lower the trans before it damages anything?
@@johnt120 what i do is let it all the way down till engine is holding it then jack back up maybe 2 or 3 inches ans let weight rest on jack instead of motor mounts ive pulled dozens of transmissions this way and never had a prob
Thank You for taking the time to do this!
Thank u for watching and the support
What is the torque for the pressure plate
@@TereWise i can't remember
AWSESOME video ... getting some nerve to work on mine now :)
Thank you hope it helped

I fought and fought with it and got mad and just bought a new one hahah but thanks for the input so maybe others can try ur way also lol
And also thanks for supporting the channel
Thank you for your video. How do you remove the shifter from the transmission?
What do you mean
4 torx bolts from the top before you lift the jeep. Easier to pull that first before dropping the transmission
At 2:07 look at the angle of that drive shaft.
Idk what u mean but thank you for watching
Thats normal
He is a good mechanic
Thanks
Just pull up really hard on the shift knob next time, both the 4wd lever knob and 6spd knob are just held on really tight..
Thank you for passing on the knowledge.🤝🏻
Anytime hope it helped u out buddy and thank you for the support I really appreciate it
You are my Mopar service manual.. awesome Fire truck 🚒
@@familiaubatuba1669 I have alot of other vids for the jeep buikd idk if they help y but maybe so
Thank you! Great video for me to decide not to attempt this myself. Omfg
It's not to bad as long as u have the right tools.

What shop is this where are you located so I can pay you to do mine
I work at a shop in clarksville ga
Awesome. That’s not too far. I’m in Florida I have a 2013 two door I just don’t have a shop or a lift and I feel doing it on the ground would be terrible. I can tell my clutch is on the edge.
I was gonna put a new clutch in mine in my garage but eff that. I will take it to a shop, this job will suck without a lift.
Ya a lift makes it alot easier

Why didn't you show the driveshaft being removed. We all learn from your mistakes, you know.
I thought I did lol or atleast said how to take it off lol
Please don’t do that to your shift knob. That’s not how they come off. There’s a T-45 underneath the boot that you need to take the center console out and it all comes out as one unit.
On day three of this job. A match and gasoline works quicker.
That it does a lift and the right tools makes a difference but ya its definitely a pain of a job lol thank you for watching hope it helped you with it
