Er, Ford Mondeo question...anyone ever changed a clutch on one of these WITHOUT taking the engine out???
Seems like ford have made it a ridiculously tricky and time consuming job to drop the clutch and put a new in, anyone have any experience of this? Costs? Toptips? Cheers in advance!|||was to big a job for me I had to get mine done in a garage, it cost just over £600.
the car was only worth £800 but unfortunatly I had it on HP so had no choice.|||You must drop the complete subframe before the gearbox comes out. It%26#039;s pretty straight forward once you get your head round it.
Get your ex to do it he must owe you one.|||This apparently was one of the few draw backs on the Mondeo that you did have to drop the engine to do the clutch - ot at least so I was always led to believe.|||No just drop the drive shaft and it will ease out and fix replacement in|||your right it is tricky but alas engine and sub frame has to be (not completely) removed but lowered enough to separate g/box .... fords Hmm
Mr clutch does a good cheapish job
PS don%26#039;t forget locating pins for sub frame|||Any other way is extreemly arkward , dont try it unless you have access to lifting gear and a hoist you can drop one side and lift box out ,But it does put a strain on the exuast and other fixtures . (not recomended.) but that is as bad as dropping the whole sub frame|||Going by experience of some mondeos I helped with the clutch whilst I was on work placement whilst at college studying motor vehicle engineering the quickest way t do a mondeo clutch is to take the exhaust off so it clears the sub frame, remove the lower suspension ball joints from the front hubs, remove the drive shafts support the engine from above remove the starter motor spedo cable clutch cable the upper bell housing bolts then under neath remove some engine/gearbox support brackets and remove the sub frame support the gearbox from underneath with a transmission jack remove the lower bell housing bolts and extract the gearbox and you can then remove the clutch refitting is reverse of removal

toyota yaris|||If you are asking how to change a clutch, it%26#039;s probaly best you don%26#039;t get involved in that job. It%26#039;s a fairly big job and you should have a professial do it.

Yaris is only been out 1 1/2 years and there is probably no manual available for it yet.

Of course the most cost effective option would be to take it to a decent mechanic and ask him/her to do the job for you. It will take a tenth of the time, and should have some sort of guarantee

Anyone know how to change a clutch cable in an 89 twinwheel transit PLEASE?
look its easy first check were the transmission is located if its on the left of the engine or right or under the gear stick .
second locate the cable on the clutch pedal get helper and tell him to press the clutch pedal and look for movement to locate the clutch cable.once you have located it take it off by pressing the clutch pedal down and with pair of pliers uncliping it/unbolt it from the transmission end.(always remember the cables route mark it if you need to)theres a cerclip at the pedal stopping the cable to come off take that off and the cable will slide off.
refitting it start feed the cable to the pedal and attach it to the pedal and secure it with the clip then feed the cable to the transmission garbing the end of cable with pair of pliers and pulling it until its in its position.|||your best bet is to try to find a repair manual or contact the manufacturer|||I%26#039;ve never tried on a twin wheel but on a 89 single wheel...
From underneath first undo the cable from the Gearbox end
Depending which gearbox is fitted it%26#039;s either a adjuster that needs to be slackened and taken of or you can wedge something behind the arm and jemmy it off..That%26#039;s the easy part, When the cable is disconnected from the Gearbox you need to realease it from the pedal end take care to have the drivers side footwell clean because there is a clip which attaches the cable to pedal and if you loose that you will have to go to a car spares shop or a breakers yard.
Once the cable is disconnected you need to go in the engine bay and take the whole cable from the bulkhead then it should be free to fall to the floor.... refitting is a reversal of removal........................Good Luck

Afterwards, the tramsission must be raised and aligned and brought together and everything put back together.

How hard is it to change a clutch on a 2WD 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck? How much would it cost?
to a mechanic a clutch job on any truck 2wd is gravy work we love those the clutch kit can run anywhere from 100 to 200 i would go to local toyota dealer as they will probably have it in stock and ur getting the best quality of part how ever 97 would kinda have a few gm influences as toyota and gm have been friends since 92 when GEO came around so u could go with an AC delco clutch too neways its simple if u know what ur doing no u dont need a come along its not a semi support the front of the vehicle by jack stand as high as u can go. ull need all the room u can get next drop the drive shaft watch for gear lube out of the output shaft of the tranny with the truck at an angle u will loose alittle the motor is supported from the side dont worry about it next remove any crossmembers under the tranny out of the way with the tranny at an angle remove wiring harness speed sensor wires ect. then go inside the truck remove shift lever the remove tranny bolts from tranny support tranny with a jack and pull and drop tranny then R and R clutch throw out bearing and pilot bushing installation is reverse of removal. the pilot bushing is trick use a socket and some axel grease stuff the axel grease in the pilot bushing hole in the back of the crank using ur finger make sure u fill the socket with grease put an extension in the socket make sure socket fits snug in pilot bushing hole then with a hammer hit the extension as principles of hydraulics cant compress a fluid will force the pilot bushing out may have to hit and refill several times to make sure there is no air between the crank and pilot bushing u want that space full of grease and u do not want grease to come out between the socket and the bushing hole make sure its as tight as it can be or just use slide hammer and the right adapter. also make sure u put grease around the input shaft of tranny before install this will make them slide together easier and make sure u use the alignment tool to align cluch disc to crank hope this helps|||Not hard if you have a lift and a trans jack .

How do you change a clutch cable for an aprilia rs 125?
do you need to take the whole engine apart just to change a cable?|||No,wind off the adjuster on the lever that you pull.Then pull the nipple and cable out.Loosen the adjuster at the engine and do the same(it may be a good idea to photograph exactly where the cable feeds down).Once you have disconnected at both ends,you can now feed the whole cable out.Refitting is the reverse,but make sure it doesn%26#039;t snag or kink anywhere and the bars turn freely without affecting operation of the clutch.Once fitted you should adjust to give 2-4mm free play on the lever.
How do I change a clutch in my toyota pickup?
Its a 1989 toyota 4x4 with a 22re 4 cylinder engine. Help!|||First I would suggest getting a manual for the truck. It will have a good write up on this but above all it will have the torque specs you will need for the bolts during re-assembly. Start by chocking the wheels, setting the e-brake and un-hooking the battery. Next start with the easy stuff, remove the shift boot from the shifters and remove the shifters. Remove the starter, driveshafts, speedo cable, and any wires that might be connected to the tranny. If you have a hydralic clutch you will need to remove or disconnect the lines from it as well. Hopefully with the 22re your exhaust does not get in the way... you shouldn%26#039;t have to remove it to get the tranny out. The tranny and t-case together weigh about 250 lbs. I would recomend a good transmission jack, if that%26#039;s not a possibility you can use a regular floor jack but you will need an extra friend to help you usually if you don%26#039;t have the tranny jack. Go ahead and remove the bolts that hold the transmission and engine together. There are usually a couple at the top that are hard to get to from underneath. You may have to get them from the top. Remove the bolts in the transmission mount at the crossmember and jack up the back of the tranny. Now you can remove the crossmember. Then let the tranny back down a little and it should slide right out... usually with a little persuasion. Now you can remove the pressure plate from the flywheel. The %26quot;clutch%26quot; is between the flywheel and pressure plate. Remove them and the flywheel. I would take the flywheel somewhere and have it re-surfaced, just ask at the parts house where you get your parts and they can tell you where to get it done... they may do it. While your having that done take the time to replace the rear-seal in your engine and any seals that you can in the tranny while you have it out. Once you have that done and the flywheel back you need to replace the bearing in the center of the flywheel and grease it (this is a different bearing than the throw-out bearing that operates your clutch)... then bolt it back up and torque to spec. Now you can put the new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing in. Be sure to use the clutch alignment tool that comes with your clutch/pressure plate. It will look like the end of the input shaft on your tranny, and if it didn%26#039;t come with the clutch/pressure plate then you can buy it seperately. Torque all of that to spec and you can start putting everything back together.
I would also suggest checking your clutch slave cylinder. If it%26#039;s in the tranny behind the throw-out bearing than I would change it anyway since you already have the tranny out.
I can do it on my full size bronco in about 5 hours not counting the time it takes to get the fly-wheel re-surfaced. Usually about 2-3 hours to get everything apart and 2-3 hours to put it back together.
Good Luck!|||2 ideas:

2: buy a chilton manual for the toyota.

How to change a clutch on a 4x4 Dodge power ram 250?
I have done many things with cars and trucks most of it body work. Most of the things i have done were simple like a intake manifold and carb for my mustang, plugs \ wires, the hardest thing was a transmissionn on a taurus. But the truck is an 88 btw any tips or pointers?? thanks|||you dont you take it to the junkyard and buy ford f250 turbo desiel|||This is a big task on a 4x4. Both driveshafts need to be marked for location and removed. This means the wheels and tires need to be chocked. The nice thing is there is room to work with out a lift. The transfer case sits on the crossmember and is bolted to the rear of the trans. Using a block of wood and a floor jack positioned under the transmission will support the weight. The trans. should be able to seperate from the bell housing and the crossmember unbolt from the frame and the hole unit can be slid back about 4 inches. A couple C clamps positioned at the crossmember, the floor jack, and even a jack stand will keep this stationary so the pressure plate, flywheel, and disc can be removed. Doing it this way requires at least 2 people, please don%26#039;t attempt this by yourself. If you are, a different method is needed.
I would recommend having the flywheel resurfaced or replaced, this will provide the best wear and life of the clutch. Most auto parts stores offer the clutch disc by itself or a clutch kit. The clutch kit has the disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and an alignment tool. Go with the kit, it will save a lot of head aches later. Make sure to use brake parts cleaner on the pressure plate and flywheel prior to assembling the cluch disc. This will remove any dirty and grease from the mating surfaces.
If I remember correctly this job books out at around 14 hours. Of course they expect you to disassemble the transfer case from the transmission. This saves about 3 hours. When using a jack stand, do not place it on the transmission input shaft, this could damage the inner bearing. Also replace the pilot bushing or rearing in the rear of the crankshaft.
The shifters will need to be removed, both the trans. and the transfer.
A lot of work, but it can be done. Hope this helps. Christopher|||if its a 4 wheel drive its actually easier to pull the engine out than to try and pull the transmission and transfer case out ,unless you own a transmission jack,i have pulled more engines than transmissions to replace clutches because its easier and quicker,the only problem you have with doing it like this is it takes two people to do it and their real hard to line back up sometimes,but it still takes less time than removing the drive shafts and all the related parts to the 4 wheel drive,good luck.|||Sometimes it%26#039;s easier to pull the engine to replace clutch.

The shifters will need to be removed, both the trans. and the transfer.
A lot of work, but it can be done. Hope this helps. Christopher|||if its a 4 wheel drive its actually easier to pull the engine out than to try and pull the transmission and transfer case out ,unless you own a transmission jack,i have pulled more engines than transmissions to replace clutches because its easier and quicker,the only problem you have with doing it like this is it takes two people to do it and their real hard to line back up sometimes,but it still takes less time than removing the drive shafts and all the related parts to the 4 wheel drive,good luck.|||Sometimes it%26#039;s easier to pull the engine to replace clutch. Just a thought.

Changing a clutch on a 250 class motorcross bike?
if it matters, the bike is a %26#039;98 CR 250. The original clutch is in the bike and has never been inspected; I ride trails and dunes and am one of those guys who use the clutch only for 1st gear. The symptom I am seeing is just the clutch slipping, other than that no problems with the bike. I am wondering what parts I need to change this clutch. I have changed clutches in a streetbike w/ a manual before w/ no problems. I would like to go to a parts counter and order what is commonly needed to change it; should I buy any bearings, metal clutch plates, clutch basket or am I probably ok w/ just the friction plates? any special tools needed? manual? I have sockets, common sense, torque wrench and other common tools.|||I would buy a full clutch kit. Comes with the pads and metal rings. Make sure you soak them in oil for 30minutes before putting them in. Also you may have to buy a new clutch basket. It is best to pull the basket out first and rub you fingers in the area where the plates ride. If there are any grooves you might be able to file them down or you%26#039;ll have to buy a new basket. If you don%26#039;t you will have gears sticking on you down the line. For the clutch kit I use Dirt Diggers and they have not given me any problems.

Put the cable in the handlebar side first, it%26#039;s just a slip in end with a metal disc, and the cable routes thru the slit in the lever. Run the cable to the casing side, and you%26#039;ll see the lever where the other side attaches.

(An impact driver is suggested for those phillips head bolts.
they WILL be frozen in place, and a screw driver will
likely strip the heads.)

they stick less next time), and adjust the clutch play
at the side cover, (that slotted round plug), by loosening

AA man was so furious He went to speak with the mechanics. All workers were chinese, so he couldn%26#039;t give them a piece of his mind.
Mr Clutch did refund money and paid for new gear box.|||Mr Clutch centres operate as a franchise. A bit like most McDonalds %26quot;Restaurants%26quot; it is down to the owner and the staff at each one. Some will be great and some could be awful and everything in between

Changing a Clutch?
Hey, I have a 1993 Toyota Celica GT, and it%26#039;s got a worn out clutch, I know someone who works at LuK (they make clutches in ohio) and they can get me a stock like clutch for 80$, pretty good, but the only problem is, I dont know if I should have someone replace the clutch for me, or try to do it myself. Just wanted to know the difficulty rating you would give it, I know a little bit about cars, so I%26#039;m not completely dumb, lol. If you think its not too too hard, how do you do it, or do you know a specific place with specific instructions? thanks!!!!!|||trust me here and have it done by a professional, often times do-it yourselfers get into alot of trouble and the repair costs much more, find a mech that you trust and have them do it, if you needed your tonsils removed would you let your friend billy do it because he took biology in highschool,, get my point?|||I am not too familiar with the Celica vehicles, but if this just the run of the mill front wheel drive with a 5 speed, you shouldn%26#039;t hit many snags, it will take some time if you%26#039;re doing this on the ground without a lift. If I were you, I would go at this job with atleast one other person that knows what they are doing, simply because you will save a ton of time not pulling out things that do not need to be removed. If this vehicle is the all wheel drive edition, dont even bother, that transfer case may be an issue, and just take it to a shop.|||I changed the clutch in my vehicle and I%26#039;m just a weekend-mechanic.
As long as you get lubrication on the right points, and use a torque wrench to ensure all bolts are tightened to specs, you should be fine.
I%26#039;d make sure you look at a manual though. Some cars are more difficult than others, etc.|||If you aren%26#039;t comfortable taking your car apart, and confident you%26#039;ll get it back together again, get someone else to do it!
In either case, (front or rear wheel drive) the transmission must be separated form the engine, and it%26#039;s far easier for someone else to do it for you, except for the cost of labor.
If a car is rear-wheel drive, changing the clutch is worlds easier than front-wheel drive, but it is still no small task.
I remember that Celicas were rear-wheel drive. I don%26#039;t know if yours is or not. I%26#039;m going to assume it is.
If you or a friend has the proper tools, work facilities and equipment, it is a fairly straight forward task
If you are going to work on it on jack stands, it really helps to have a transmission jack for supporting the transmission during removal and installation.
You can bend the shaft on the front of a transmission if you let the weight of it hang on the shaft.
The hardest part is putting everything back together. Transmissions get really heavy after a while when you don%26#039;t use a jack, and are trying to line it up and put a bolt in it before your arms get too tired.|||does the price include the disk and clutch pressure plate?
fairly easy, make sure you have an alignment tool ($10.00 USD) to align the clutch disk to the flywheel
