hi i am new to yotatech and new to toyota my first.. i am trying to replace my clutch wondering what all i need to replace i have the clutch pad i am 19 and never replaced a clutch any help much apprieciated.

 

You should replace the pilot bearing, throwout bearing, pressure plate, and disc. Get the flywheel ground or a new one. Check the rear main (engine) and input seal (tranny). If you have a lot of miles (>~200000) then plan on getting repair sleeves for the seals.

 

Get a shop manual.

You take off driveshafts, shifters, remove all bellhousing bolts (where it bolts to the engine). Unplug the reverse indicator wire and speedometer cable. Drain fluid. Then you can either take the t-case off or take the whole thing out in one piece. Take the crossmember off and the tranny is ready. Be sure you have a jack or something under it during all this so it doesn't fall out and crush you. Get a tranny jack and some friends.

If I were you I wouldn't mess with the rear main seal unless it's leaking. There are all sorts of things you could replace, but the basics are clutch cover and plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing. Any good clutch kit will come with these along with some lube to lube the correct places before putting it all back together.

 

for a manual should i get a hayne or chilton? and thanks i got the front driveline half way out and what fluid do i drain?? ok i already have the clutch pad will the manual show me how to correctly do it? and thanks for the help.

 

get the free one found on this fourm search FSM...
you need a floor jack preferable with tranny jack adapter... there is like 10 bolts around the housing prolly less.. the slave on the side and drive shafts...

took me 2 weeks but i had never turned a wrench b4... and it started a bad addiction...


with a friend i could do it in 5 hours now prolly not even

if you search youll even find my threads!!!

 

x2 on the online fsm, it's great.

look through these pics. Should give you some of the basics of what to look for.

Get the manual, it's nice to have something tangible.

Happy wrenching!

 

thanks trying to firure it out cant figure out how to download but looks promising.

 

and also how do you guys have your truck info posted when you leave comments?

 

Hit the "user cp" at the top of the page. Then on the left side find the "edit signature". Then you are off to the races.

 

As you have never done this I would get some help. There are a lot of tricks that are not in any of the manuals.

Like the fact you really need two Jacks one for the Trans that rolls good and one to lower and raise the engine.

Some people remove the sway bar others don`t a good time to look at those bushings makes no sense to reinstall junk ones.

Also a good time to look at the transmission mount while you have it out.

The real long extensions you need for the top bell housing bolts.

The fact that the trans/transfer case will twist to the right as you get it out of the splines

 

If you are still considering a manual, I would go with a Haynes. It seems to me alot more indepth than a Chilton. The FSMs help alot but sometimes it is nice having the book right beside you.

 

the fsm is pretty cool.

also i was still planning on getting a manual and haynes it is thanks.

 

get the stock toyota manual...IMO Haynes makes good TP when on a trail run and you forgot the real stuff

 

Yeah, no substitute for the FSM. There are hard copies, the links are just for people who don't want to get a hard copy. A hard copy FSM will give you sooo much info. But if you don't want to spend the money, just print out what you need from the online version.

And....you drain the tranny/t-case..

 

x2! the haynes manual if i remember correctly covers 79-95 pickups and 4runenrs..... that 4 different motors, 2 different front ends, a total of 5 different body styles. i have ended up with 2 of them and they are poopie..
