I have a 2001 chevy s10 which needs a new clutch.?

I am looking to replace the clutch in my truck to avoid pay the high cost for mechanics. I am pretty good at mechanics but have never changed a clutch. it is a 2001 chevy s10 extended cab 2.2l truck. I will have help and want to know if there is anything i should know or be aware of. I really don't know what to expect and i imagine it to be little difficult since i have to drop the transmission. If you can give me some information i would greatly appreciatte it. thanks

I changed one clutch in my life. There is one tool you will definately need. Ask your parts store, I can't remember the name but it is a plastic spline shaft to keep stuff in line while the tranny is out.

Gather together your parts. You will need the clutch plate, and while it's apart, you might as well do the pilot bearing and throw out bearing. See http://www.thepartsbin.com/guides/chevy/鈥?/a> to get the kit for your vehicle.



And you're right, to get to it, you need to drop the transmission, which means removing the drive shaft also. Easy enough if you happen to have a lift in your garage, and a good transmission jack, otherwise it means raise it up, jack stands, and laying on your back under the truck, a floor jack with some 2 by 4's, etc.



Actually it won't be that expensive to have it done, which would be my recommendation. If you really really want to do it yourself, pick up a Chilton's manual for your truck and read the chapter on clutches.
Go on and pay the money, it's worth it. Unless of coarse you have a lift and a transmission jack. This really isn't a %26quot;lay in the dirt%26quot; job. But if you do decide to do it make sure you keep everything in line (ex torque converter, throw out bearing, stuff like that) b/c if somethings not sitting rite when you go to put it back together it will never work and you'll have to take it to the shop anyway.

Question about my clutch?

I have an old 91 dodge dakota 5 speed 4x4. the clutch is out..can someone tell me if it's complicated or not to change a clutch in this truck?.. will i have to pull the motor or drop the transmission?

thanks for your help
Question about my clutch?
You can drop the trans to get to the clutch without much difficulty. Then you will be able to get to the clutch. Probably about 5 hours total if you are inexperienced. Remember if you are going to the trouble to do this then have the flywheel turned and replaced the pilot bearing to preserve the life of the clutch that you are installing
Question about my clutch?
you will have to pull the drive shaft off take loose any thing that is connected to the transmission like wires and cables then take the transmission mount completely off and have a jack so you can lift and lower the transmission then take out the bolts that hold the transmission on to the engine pull back just a lil bit and the transmission is out replace the clutch and parts and put it all back on in revirse order if you need more help my email is phillipprc@yahoo.com and i have yahoo im
the best way and the cheapest way is to drop the transmition and start from there. and no its not complicated, just get a really experinced mecanic on transmitions..... mite be the master slave cylinder??? im guessing??

Ford escort 1990 1.6efi 8valve clutch removal and fitting?

has any 1 ever changed a clutch on these, if so how hard are they to do, or is it easier to take to the garage

easy if you've got the tools, garage, ramp and the knowledge! if not pay a RECOMMENDED professional!
Ford escort 1990 1.6efi 8valve clutch removal and fitting?
easy if you know what u doing
Not hard to do if you have experience. I take it its an XR3i H reg? If so, the gearbox needs to be removed to expose the clutch. After that its a handful of 10mm or 12mm bolts ( cant remember, it was a long time ago!) to remover the clutch.

What is needed to swap a new transmission for a 2000 4.7 4x4 dakota?

I just bought a tranny for my dakota and was wondering if i would be able to swap it myself. I changed a clutch on a rwd sr20 so i did this kind of thing before. Now this is a 4x4 and automatic and much bigger. Is it a pretty straight forward thing or to overwhelming?
What is needed to swap a new transmission for a 2000 4.7 4x4 dakota?
you need a real good transmission jack to do this with its more than a floor jack can handle they make a real good floor model transmission jack that will do this and you also need a helper to guide things in and line them up,other wise its pretty strait forwards like doing a regular one,install the transmission first though then install the transfer case on after you get the transmission bolted up its a lot easier this way,the rest is pretty strait forwards on doing that one,just take your time with it and don't get in a hurry ,and it helps to have a good repair manual around for reference,good luck.

  • My clutch failed 13 months after I bought a brand new SUV. Don't know why.?

    I have been driving a clutch for approximately 20 years, and only once did I have to change a clutch after 11 years with one car and never with the other. I love Honda vehicles but I bought one 13 months ago and it just decided to fail. The dealer assumes it me since there were no recalls, Does anyone have any idea as to why this would happen?
    My clutch failed 13 months after I bought a brand new SUV. Don't know why.?
    Honda hasn't been building SUV's for as long as some other car makers but they usually get things right. It sounds like this should be under warranty and there should be no excuses from the dealer. I would make them replace it and I would not take no for an answer. I would then contact the customer service representative from the corporation itself. Honda has always kept communication channels open when it comes to input about their vehicles. I have owned 4 of them and I had to replace the clutch on 1. It wasn't an SUV but I didn't know what I was getting when I bought it. If I didn't know better I would have to think that the clutches in these SUV's are a weak spot that needs to be addressed at the manufacturing level or needs to be recalled to fix the problem. Good luck.
    My clutch failed 13 months after I bought a brand new SUV. Don't know why.?
    If it %26quot;failed%26quot; meaning something broke it should be under warranty.



    If it is %26quot;worn out%26quot; meaning the clutch material is all worn off, the only %26quot;cause%26quot; of this is excessive slipping of the clutch.



    SUV's are heavier than most vehicles, they are much less forgiving of clutch slipping than smaller vehicles.

    I need step by step instructions on how to change a clutch on a 1986 Mazda 626 sadan?
    OMG!



    If you need instructions - it isn't for you. FWD clutch jobs are a nightmare. Last year I swapped the clutch in an Integra. I had to disconnect just about every bolt there exist on the engine.



    On top of that you have to hoist the engine and disconnect the steering knuckle and the CV joint. It wasn't worth the money saved.

    ===

    If you still want to do it, it is best to get a repair manual (I used Chilton but Hayes and others are about the same).







    Good Luck...
    I have to agree with the others, although I like to see people try to do their own work. In the case of an '86 Mazda 626, which I owned in the past and loved, I think it's not worth it.



    If you are attached to the car, invest in a good manual for 20 bucks on Ebay.



    Good luck.
    Unfortunately, you may spend more money doing it yourself that you would getting it done by a professional. It is not an easy job and requires knowledge and experience. Check around and get some expert prices before you try it.
    You should purchase a Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific make and model. The steps involved are a little too numerous for this type of forum. A manual can be had for under $20 - with the added benefit that it'll have photos of the steps involved. You can usually pick one up at a local auto parts store.

    2002 Peugeot 2.0 diesel clutch?

    Anyone got any information on changing a clutch on a 2002 peugeot 2.0 diesel?.

    Can the box be removed without messing with the subframe?.

    How difficult is the job.

    I`ve done ford,vauxhall,honda etc.,but never this car.

    Thanks
    2002 Peugeot 2.0 diesel clutch?
    I have a 2002 Pug 406hdi 110 estate and my youngest son (who is a mechanic) changed the clutch for me last month in his workshop after work hours and i kept him company. Auto data say about 8 hours to do the clutch i believe but he did it in 4.5hrs. To be honest, if you do not have professional garage facilities it will be quite a job. We had the car up on the ramp and had a hydraulic gearbox support stand which was a god send. You will have to remove the front sub frame (and the engine will have to be supported from above), drain the gear box and remove the drive shafts. If you are planning on doing this at home with the car up on standard ramps it will be a lot of work and hassle! Remember we were working with full garage workshop facilities including air tools, 4 poster ramp, hydraulic gearbox stand, engine support bar etc. Just a point, the clutch operation is pull out not the more normal push in.



    If the cars clutch is not actually slipping and you are planning the change because the clutch pedal is not taking up drive until near the top of the stroke, before you start dismantling anything, bleed the clutch! You might be lucky and find that you do not need a new clutch after all !.
    2002 Peugeot 2.0 diesel clutch?
    Depends on what model. I done a 307 and it took my absolutely hours on end with the hammer, chisel and grinder. the sub-frame did have to be dropped and there was a few security bolts.

    Just wondering if anyone knows how complex it is to change a clutch on an87 ranger 2 wheel drive?
    IT IS A PRETTY GOOD JOB YOU NEED TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN REMOVE THE BELL HOUSING AND THEN YOU CAN GET TO THE CLUTCH BE SURE TO CHANGE THE THROWOUT BEARING AND THE PILOT BUSHING WHILE YOU HAVE IT OUT
    That鈥檚 a fairly straight forward job. The things to watch out for are, the flywheel, get it checked and find someone with a cup grinder to resurface it. Don鈥檛 let anyone cut it flat.

    Check the pilot bearing in the crank, and change it if in doubt. Make sure you have an alignment tool for the disc, make sure the U joints are good, and you should be fine. Oh, and I鈥檓 not sure about an 鈥?7, but some of the Mazda transmission Fords have some rubber seals on top of the transmission in the back that should be sealed, check with a Ford tech.

    Good luck.
    its a pretty good little job to do,,you need a transmission jack,,or a good floor jack,,and a good place to work on it,,and you will need to take the flywheel and get it re-surfaced before you put a new clutch in it,,otherwise it may burn the new one out also,,i own a repair shop in Tennessee,,and i wont do one without turning the flywheel on it,,otherwise your just wasting your time on it,,and money,,i have to do them ,,and guarantee them,,so i cant afford to be wrong,,when it comes to a job like that,,,you can do it,,but you need the proper tools for the job,,otherwise you would be better off taking it somewhere and having it done,,this way you will get a guarantee with it,,and if it tears back up,,you just take it back to them,,sometimes its better to do it this way,,good luck with it,,i hope this helps.
    well not one of those mechanics bothered to mention how freaking hard it is to get the line off of the hydraulic clutch, good luck with this one as i have only had the oppertunity to do one vehicle like this and man what a pain. for some reason ford liked the idea with that set up. but also remember to torque the flywheel down and check the rear main seal on the engine and anything else thats going to be right there when you have it apart

    remove the tranny and change it.
    How to change an clutch in an 87 crx?
    drop the tranny, take the throw out bearing off, take the pressure plate off, then the clutch will come right out. you might check the pilot bearing in the crank and look at the bearing retainer, where the throw out bearing runs on, to see if its rough, check the flywheel for burn places ans cracks. if everything looks good, install the clutch, but check the clutch, it should say flywheel side, then just put it in, then the pressure plate, then the throwout bearing, then the tranny.

    How easy is it to change a clutch on a MKIII Astra F?
    Its not really that hard mate , if u get a haynes manual they tell u step by step on how to take it off and replace it ..... all your doing is popping the bell housing off so no need to remove engine. its a sequence to getting it right so get a manual have a read and go for it ...
    Under the gear selector unit on the gearbox you will find a number in reasonable sized print.If you post that on here it will be easy to tell you how big a job it is?Number is like F13 or F16 etc.Hope this helps
    either 30 mins labour or 2 hours labour depends which gearbox is fitted to your car, both can be done at home on the path if you need to but neither are expensive to have done by a clutch centre.

    How long to change a clutch in a 95 camaro Z28?

    I have to put a new clutch in my 95 camaro Z28 LT1 with a 6 speed manual . My rear seal is leaking bad so it leaked oil all over the clutch and now it slips like crazy. So I bought a new rear main seal and a new clutch kit. I am a pretty skilled mechanic I'm just curiouse if any one has ever done one and what I am up against. How long does anybody know will it take to do this job?
    How long to change a clutch in a 95 camaro Z28?
    It's all common sense. Driveshaft, exhaust, crossmember, starter, trans, pressure plate, flywheel...in that order. You'll have to take the flywheel somewhere to get it resurfaced, but it shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm not sure about your seal...I own a fox chassis Mustang, not a Chevy...I don't see how it could be much different though. Installation is reverse of removal. Don't forget trans fluid. Do yourself a favor...Go real easy on the new clutch for the first 500 or so miles. A well broken-in clutch grabs MUCH better than one that wasn't treated well. To answer your question: With the car on jackstands I'd say maybe one Saturday if you don't run into any major snags. Last thing...Tag ang bag your bolts and pay attention to the way **** came apart.
    How long to change a clutch in a 95 camaro Z28?

    Just changed a clutch and now have issues??

    I just did the clutch in my 2001 Hyundai Accent, and it is not working correctly. I did everything correctly, according to the book, but am having a slight issue. When shifting from neutral to 1st or 2nd, the pedal has to be in a very specific spot, about an inch from the floor to go in. If its to the floor, it wont go into gear. Driving 1 through 5 is fine, but when I go to downshift, it has to be at a very low RPM or else it grinds. What could be wrong? Hydraulic system is good with no leaks, no noises or clutch smell, etc. Thanks!

    Just changed a clutch and now have issues??
    Did you change the release bearing as well? The release bearing %26quot;sometimes called a 'throw-out' bearing will cause the issue you are have .
    check you slave cylender
    I'm guessing that you did a complete clutch job , you did replace the pressure plate , clutch , throw-out bearing and the pilot bearing. I'm sure that it as a salve cylinder as well , it maybe that you just don't have all the air bleed out of the line, i had this problem where i throught i had all the air out of the line , but the more i drive it the better the clutch got , so maybe that your problem and the more you drive the better it gets.

  • How do i change a clutch dog on a 1988 3.0 omc?

    This isn't totally beyond the scope of your average do-it-yourselfer, but seriously, don't even attempt it without a good service manual, preferably the OEM manual for your specific motor. It will require several special tools.



    The step by step details vary by model, but the procedure most always involves dropping the lower unit, removing the shift rod, propshaft bearing carrier and reverse gear, removing the pinion nut and gear, and pulling out the driveshaft bearing housing and driveshaft, which gives you access to the clutch dog, and forward gear.



    good luck.

    How mechanically competent are you?



    A clutch change is do-able, but is if your doing it on axle stands it's an easy days work. Never done a Bravo, but it front wheel drive, so you gonna have to remove the driveshafts (or at least slide them out of the gearbox), remove all the ancilliaries from the from the gearbox (including the mount). Drop the gearbox away (on a trolley jack) and then swap the clutch out. It's a one man job if your confident, but is better with 2. The trouble with doing clutches DIY is if anything is seized, then like most jobs it become a right bind.



    If you want to do it search the net for an online manual or schematic. Or try your local library to see if they have the haynes for your car.



    Incidentally a clutch specialist is proabably gonna want 拢250-350 to do it, so bear that figure in mind if your gonna pay someone.

    To be honest, if you are asking the question then its better you take the car to a garage and get them to do it. Its a real pig of a job to do if you don't know what you are doing, the best way to do it is to drop the lower suspension and lower the engine and gear box out.

    How do I change a clutch master cylinder on a 1991 ford f150 5 speed 6 cylinder 4.9L?

    From inside the vehicle, pry the pushrod and retainer bushing from the cross shaft lever pin.



    Disconnect the interlock switch connector plug.



    Remove the 2 retaining nuts and support bracket connecting the clutch reservoir and master cylinder assembly to the firewall.



    From the engine compartment, first note the clutch tube routing to the slave cylinder, then remove the attaching hardware for the hydraulic tube retaining clips.



    From the engine compartment, remove the clutch reservoir and master cylinder assembly from the firewall. On F-Series and Bronco, when the master cylinder studs are free of the dash panel, rotate cylinder counterclockwise about 100 degrees to clear the interlock switch and remove the cylinder from the vehicle.
    How do I change a clutch master cylinder on a 1991 ford f150 5 speed 6 cylinder 4.9L?
    I don't have a book on that one, but I would first look at where the clutch pedal linkage goes through the firewall. The master is usually attatched to the engine side. should be just a matter of disconnecting and unbolting then installing the new one. I've done them before but it's been a while since I've worked automotive. Make sure you bleed the system ant the slave.

    If you're having to ask, I respectfully suggest you pay the garage the 拢150-拢200 it costs to change a Punto's clutch and be done with it.

    While it's not awkward job on a Punto, the term 'easy enough' is relative. If you've never changed a clutch before, it could prove quite hard, and as someone else suggested, you could end up doing more harm than good.

    If you're determined to try, at least get yourself a Haynes manual for the car and read through the entire process before starting the job.

    not hard to install, just hard to get to. you have to disconnect everything from motor and drain all fluids, to be able to lift it a little bit to get out of the way. make sure you mark every hose and wire you disconnect so you know where it goes. putting in the clutch itself is easy
    How hard is it 2 change a clutch?
    Remove driveshaft

    Support engine remove linkage and trans to engine bolts

    remove trans

    remove pressure plate and clutch

    reverse to install



    do this laying on your back on the ground

    all bolts have to be torqued

    hardest part is aligning input shaft up with clutch, while lying on your back, with 75# trans resting on your belly....



    Someone who'se done it before can do it in 2 hours.....
    If you do not have prior auto repair experience i would highly suggest to leave it to a professional. You need to drop the transmission and correctly install the clutch which will require alignment tools and torque wrenches.
    its not relly hard, but you have to know what your doing and have the right tools. its more harder getting started then doing the job.

    $20 repair manual or a visit to Auto Zones website can give you step by step. Or . Raise vehicle high enough to be able to work and remove trans from the side on the ground. Block vehicle , remove drive shaft, shift and clutch linkage remove trans mount bolts at the cross member, dust shield at the front ( if it still has one ). Support trans and engine, remove bell housing bolts, remove trans cross member. And lower away. Re and re the clutch disk , pressure plate and throw out and pilot bearing. It`s a good idea to have the flywheel resurfaced even if you do not see small hairline cracks in the surface. Borrow or rent a clutch alignment tool or you will curse for hours trying to get the input shaft in. Have fun. In the driveway with some air tools , ramps, all your parts and a box of beer . 2 guys can hit it off in an afternoon. may take longer to do the clutch after drinking all that beer though. Machining the flywheel not included..

    How to change a clutch clip on a 405?

    The first answerer has DELETED his worthless answer already!



    I went to the website suggested above my answer, and found NOTHING! except the question...%26quot;How to change a clutch clip%26quot;. No helpful advice. No text at all. Am I missing something?



    I have a 1989 Peugeot 405, and do ALL my mechanics. There is a clutch cable, a clutch pedal, a clutch lever. Internally (in the clutch housing, removing the gearbox) there is a release bearing, a driven plate, and a heavy clutch spring.



    What is a clip? and where is it? The %26quot;TOP CONTRIBUTOR%26quot; in the Peugeot category, who owns a 405, and with years of experience would like to know.

    Thanks.

    Change a clutch in a 1997 Suzuki RM80 dirt bike?
    It is soooooooo easy...First drain your oil...Then pull the side cover off the right side of your motor..Take the bolts out of your clutch basket..Should be a 9mm socket..Pull the outer plate out and you will be able to see your plates..Pull all your plates out..might have to use 2 small screwdrivers to get them out..go easy and make sure not to bend anything..You might have to use your steel plates if you didn't buy new...



    Start putting in your new plates...start with a fiber plate and then a steel then a fiber and then a steel..and on and on...As long as you started with a fiber and ended with a fiber your good as gold..Put your plate back on...there might be a mark that you have to line up on your plate and your clutch boss..Like a dot and a little arrow so the plate fits all the way on..Now start putting your springs and bolts back on just snug..Once they are all snug..start to tighten them just a little more then snug..tighten one and then go across from theta one and tighten another and then across from that one..cris-cross..Do not tighten them too tight..don't want to break any....ok...now the side cover and gasket...if you broke your gasket get a new one...don't want it to leak..side cover bolts..just past snug...don't break one off....Your goood to go...

    How to change a clutch?

    I need to know of anybody who knows how to change a clutch, well not all of it just the release bearing ????????? will it take long ? do i have to get underneath the car?
    How to change a clutch?
    We need the year make and model of the car or truck to explain how to pull this job off. It does require a lot of %26quot;back time%26quot;. If you have a front wheel drive car hire a private mechanic to do it because it takes a lot of tools and mechanical know-how. If the clutch is slipping right now the throw-out bearing isn't going to do squat! You'll need a pressure plate, clutch disc, machine shop to re-surface flywheel and a pilot bearing.
    How to change a clutch?
    I can tell you had better find a real mechanic. You won't stand a chance.

    The transmission has to be removed from the vehicle. You always check the clutch disc and pressure plate and many times the flywheel needs resurfacing at a machine shop.

    If the release bearing is noisy, just keep driving. I've never taken a vehicle apart just for a release bearing.
    Procedure varies depending on the car and whether it is rear or front drive though the following will apply -

    The gearbox will have to be taken off the engine from underneath. This may need the removal of some engine mounts.

    A good garage would do a simple one in about 2 hours but would take up to 5 hours for some cars (that is experienced people with full garage kit).

    You would replace the whole clutch as a kit not just part of it while it was apart.

    From your question I believe you will be taking it to the garage.
    Yes i know, have changed many over the years - but older cars were easy compared to todays front wheel drive ones with a plumbers nightmare under the bonnet. On the mk1 Vauxhall astra 1200 you could change the clutch without removing the gearbox or dismantling anything else. I have often wondered why other manufacturers did not take this idea to heart.
    If you're asking %26quot;do I have to get under the car%26quot; I think you'd better head to your nearest garage. Also, never change just one component, change the whole assy. No garage worth their salt would give you a warranty without changing the clutch assy.
    You won't do it lying on your back in the road. It's a gearbox-off job, requiring a ramp and some fairly hefty tools. As already said, if you're determined to have it done then get the lot done at the same time, it'll save you paying another lot of labour in the future.
    it`s not that easy the gearbox as to come of i would get some one preferably a garage to do it.
    What car is it?.

    Some are easy,some are diabolical.

    How easy or hard is it to change a clutch in a fiat punto 55 and about how much is the part.?

    It all depends on how much you know about cars.If you know

    nothing about how they work then i would suggest taking it

    to a local garage for an estimate.No point in trying to do it

    yourself and making a dogs breakfast of the job,you might do more damage without knowing and it will cost you more money in the long run.

    Trust me mate, i'm 15 and i know that it has a bugger to do, you need to take the gearbox case off, and that is really really heavy, u also need to take of the flywheel which the clutch is attached to, if you put the clutch in the wrong way you will have 5 reverse gears and one forward gear. Mate get a garage to do it, it is a nightmare to do.

    For a profesionnal it's an easy car for an smsnteur is a tough part because you need experience to do that and tools. Also you need special tools so you will put i center the cluch into the flyweel. The part costs about 80-100鈧?and includes the cluch set and bearing.

    How do you change a clutch cable on a 2004 YFZ 450 atv?

    honestly if you just kinda look it over its not that bad. there should be adjustment on your lever. loosen it all the way till you can drop the cable out. once its loose the bottom should do the same. then just slide the new one in where the old one goes and your back in buisness.

    How do i change the clutch on my 92 Honda civic dx?
    it involves dropping the trans out in order to get to it. check the onwers manual and this isnt somthing you can do yourself so dont even mess with it.
    How do i change the clutch on my 92 Honda civic dx?
    You'll need the following tools if you don't already have one:



    A clutch disc and pressure plate kit. Costs about $100 from your local auto parts store.



    Ball joint remover fork. You'll need this to lift the lower ball joint off the lower arm ball joint.



    Air compressor and impact wrench (900+ lbs.ft). An impact wrench is the best way to remove a tight axle nut.



    Punch pin. The right sized punch pin will help you remove the pin that holds your gear rod together.



    Transmission jack (or jack with a transmission adapter). You'll need this to lower/lift your transmission bell evenly from under the car.



    Clutch gear holder. This may come as a simple plastic gear that allows you to align the teeth to the flywheel and clutch disk when you put in the replacement.



    Torque wrench. You'll need to torque all of your bolts to specification with the highest one (axle nut) about 140 lbs. ft.



    Ratchet box wrench. These can be handy when you need to get into tight spots. Using an iron pipe over a box wrench can give you lots of leverage if necessary.



    It's probably one of the hardest jobs I had done for the first time but not impossible. You'll need to buy a Honda Civic Service manual for exact step by step instructions (one officially from Honda is preferrable)



    Basically, you'll be instructed to jack up your car onto jackstands, remove your left wheel and drain your transmission fluid.



    Then you'll need to remove both axles. The intake air pipe, element air box, radiator overflow reservoir, slave clutch cylinder, starter, shift rod, side and rear transmission/engine mounts before you get a chance to unbolt the transmission (weighs about 80 lbs).



    Inside you simply replace the old clutch disc and pressure plate. If you think your flywheel looks bad, you can replace that too. Make sure you put grease around the clutch fork contact points and other necessary spots.



    The toughest part can be getting the transmission bell to align back onto the engine. If you don't have a transmission jack, it can be difficult and time consuming.



    Good luck!
    dont have to drop the trans out.....wtf is your problem.....you do tho need to seperate the bellhousing from the enging......personally i suggest having someone that knows what there doing do it

    How do you change a clutch on a 2006 mitsubishi lancer evolution 9?

    Here is a word of advice!



    Order a performance clutch, the factory cutch is very weak.

    The factory clutch is made to slip so that first time drivers dont ruin the trans. If you buy a performance clutch, remember not to jam it off the line or you will ruin the trans. The AWD provides tremendous grip off the line but you must remember to respect it.

    How change a clutch toyota 2000 celica??

    here is the very best thing you can do.. go to your local auto zone or O'reillys parts store and buy the haynes repair guide for your particular modle.. cost is about 15 bucks.. it will show you in detail step by step of removal and replacement.. you can do it.. but here is a word of caution.. when you jack the car up.. make absolute certain that you have the car on proper jack stands and that you have the car level.. do not crawl under a car that is not properly supported.. jack the car properly and insert the jack stands in the proper places.. and always.. ALWAYS.. leave the jack in place after you have put the car on jack stands.. you put it under the frame up front.. with it bearing just a bit of the weight.. not enough to raise it off the stands.. but just enough to be a catcher.. just in case.. you can do this job.. just read the instructions.. good luck..

    How change a clutch toyota 2000 celica??
    take out the transaxle an pressure plate there you will find your clutch take that off replace it you may want to invest in the whole deal getting a new flywheel pressure plate an realese bearing cause who knows if that stuff is gonna go too then thats 2 times you gotta drop your trans axle but if you just change the clutch make sure the right side goes to towards the flywheel an trans then rebolt everything , you may want to find a trans plug stick thing for when you rebolt your pressure plate back on over the fly wheel to hold it in the correct position to prevent the clutch from falling down to the bottum of the pressure plate, that has happened to me an its not nice when you go to start it an it doesnt work taking it apart 2 times is a real bummer
