Clutch & Flywheel Installation help Needed.

[victorddr]

Hi, I am planning to have my clutch and flywheel replace at home. Just wondering if anybody have that done at home before? What kind of tools I will need to get this done properly? If there have some pictures for the whole process will be great.

Thanks

Victor

lol, are you joking? personally this is something for me that i would take to get done just beacuse its my dd and ive never done it before.....

i have watched a few videos and read about how to replace the clutch and as far as i understand standard socket set and air tools will be enough. ull also need a seperate jack to hold the tranny up (i have heard a motorcycle jack works great for this).

let me know when u wanna do this, if ud like the help ill be willing to lend a hand and im sure a few other gta guys may like to come for moral support.

unless u find someone who has actually done it on a yaris before, i would set aside a weekend for it.

Thanks for your help first, I know it will be a tough job to do at home. I am planning to do it in my underground parking in early or mid February. I am ordering a Fidanza lightweight flywheel and OEM Exedy clutch from E-bay this week.

Do I need an Engine lift? Just wondering if I will have enough clearance to pull the Trans Out from bottom with the car on jack stand.

Thanks Cali Yaris forwarding this thread. I read the procedures on removing the Trans. Seems easier than I thought. Hopefully I can get that done within a day or two.

It can be done in one, but you will at minimum need a transmission jack, a floor jack, and some jackstands, as well as a second person, or an oil pit and tall tranny jack. It's really not that hard...if you have any questions about the procedure, you can PM me here or @ MI and I will be more than happy to help in any way I can. I don't always follow threads on here, so PM is probably best. I'll post the PMs to the threads though so that anyone else will have the info.

Wondering how high I should lift the vehicle up to get enough clearance to pull the tranny?

Can I use the floor jack to lower the tranny or I will need an tranny jack adapter to do the job?

i watched a video on youtube once on how to change a clutch (it was on a saturn) and the person did not need to drop the tranny, he basically just unbolted it and pushed it over and tied it off to a wood crossmember he placed ontop of the car that he also tied the engine off too

Sounds like get a big brock of wood will be handful to hang both of them on the car while working under.

Thanks for the info.

yaris - with the frame in the yaris, there is not enough room to back the tranny far enough away to work effectively. It's not really a big deal to drop it though...I literally picked it up off the jack and carried it to the work bench...maybe might be 60 pounds or so, if that.

Victor - I would use a 4 x 4 across the strut towers if you don't have a cross bar.
