watching this....I did that stuff way back in 80’s.........I don’t miss it one damn bit!

So a young guy at a shop I use to work at showed me an easy way to install the clutch. Just install it on the input shaft and mate the transmission. Bolt the clutch through the inspection cover afterwards. All you do is pry on the clutch a bit and the bolts will start. Been doing it like that ever since.

God Bless these Mechanics!! This is some very tedious hard work!!!

As soon as you said all the bolts were o it but it wasn’t coming, I knew exactly what it was 😂 was fortunate enough on my first cascadia to have noticed it after I pulled the linkage. Great video sir

Great to see one of your projects again!

The hidden bolt is common for all hydraulic clutch transmission. And if there are other clutch problems, the fork bushings are known to fail.

Nice little job, I really like the way you modified the transmission jack now I have a few ideas on my own that I can put to work as well because the transmission jacks cost a pretty penny good job guys,👋💪👍👍👍👍

Nice to see you with some help for a change.

Load that clutch on the input shaft and stab it together. Even if it is a solo. Work through the inspection hole it's a piece of cake.

Guys, put a digital protractor on the top of the trans and get the angle when you start. Helpful if you have to tip the angle of the jack at all or if you have the trans off the jack. Nice job.

Been missing your adventures..so there are shade trees in Wyoming!!

Thanks for another great video...not a fun job but fairly straight forward. Keep’em coming buddy!

Good job, although in reality it took a lot longer than 10 minutes. On those clutches, I used to tightly stretch several bungee cords from up above down to the clutch assembly. That makes the 150 lb clutch weigh almost nothing, that makes it a lot easier when you're doing your clutch job. Also if you'll measure the top and bottom and each side between engine flywheel housing and Trans.bell housing, to get it perfectly in alignment, then it's real easy to stab the tranny to the engine.

If you have time put the pilot bearing in the freezer for a while. Will drop in. ALWAYS check the fit of the bearing on the input shaft. BTW I did not know about the clutch bolt. Don't see many Freightliners. Hope I remember if I do. Thanks

nothing like good friends

ahh glad to see a video from ya. enjoyed it--i have done it twice in my life-ha!

Another great video. The man sure earns his wage. Great work. 👍

Last several I done we pulled and installed them in the bell housing. That way you don't have to deal with lifting the clutch up by hand. Out clutch jack was broken.

To make job easier, back truck up onto truck ramps on steering axle , lift rear of frame with OTC air jacks. You will be able to roll under steering axle and fuel tanks . The ramp portion facing front of truck leaves room behind steering tires . Never trust a garbage freight jack! Investing in tools will be beneficial and time saving . Safety is # 1. Strap transmission to jack with 1/4 chain and binder or 2 inch ratchet strap. With a friction jack against a crossmember it will easily push transmission forward ,keeping in mind input shaft turns freely to align splines.

Easiest road tractor clutch to replace was a Volvo vn670 with a 9 speed Eaton and Cummins ISX. Absolute worst was a KW T-660 with same transmission and engine. That aftertreatment system was so in the way that you had to remove it to gain access to the transmission cooler lines or to get to the transmission itself. Cascadia kind of right in the middle.

Lining up the transmission to the clutch and Putting the bolts back In saying: "one is better then none" Got me laughing😂

Good job. Thanks for the video.

Great video after how many miles need the new clutch?

Maybe y’all just didn’t show it but might consider fabbing or buying a rear main seal installer. Unlike the 60 series, 3406, and isx, the dd series engines use a flywheel that rides inside the seal making it a 1 time use seal. At almost 800k miles, that rear main seal is worn out. Other than that suggestion, Good job! That hidden bolt gets folks all the time no matter how many times they read the word “bolt” on the bellhousing... me being one of them lol

Another job well done! Didn't envy you on that one lol

Great to see more of your videos!!

watching this made me remember my Dad we do not have the tools that we what but we can use the tools that we need

Great job on the video👍🏻

Nice video, like many of mine of late!!! 👀Did you resurface the flywheel or change the rear main seal while you had it that far a part. I once mention if you used bolts to align the clutch disc why not the bell housing? Reminds of days gone by.

Happy 4th from Greeley Guy and bunch.

The bolt in the slave cylinder hole is a tricky one

Excellent job

Just a awesome video. all the people that worked on this should get a metal or at least a 24 of beer,steaks, more beer!! well you get the picture.

No extra parts found at the end , besides those replaced? 👍

bin missing y'all man

Great job and video. 🙂👍

Very nice video, Thank you.

have you ever installed a clutch on a 2007 freightliner m2 Mercedes engine with a fso6406a transmission, nothing an internet

You killed it, nice to have that job done, I am guessing parts 2K labor in dealer shop 2,500$ or more

Hahahah the hidden bolt 😁

Where did you buy the transmission jack?

Great job 👍

the hidden bolts😂🤣

Hopefully you did not have to deal with mosquitos too.HAHA

Forgot to mention ,jacking rear of frame higher to make transmission level is best .

Any job worth doing, is worth doing with buddies.

How much suppose to charge?

Is that Milwaukee impact all the ads say it is? 1400ft/lbs of breaking force?

Nice thanks for the knowledge bud use the same tool to line it up easy money

By definition, headaches are things you don't expect. Otherwise you would have avoided them in the first place.

The thing is most jobs don't go as planned but you can get them done

Hope all is well man! It’s been a little bit.

Wait...you had the flywheel out and didnt get it surfaced?

Why not do a input shaft install.

Did you turn the flywheel?

I would change that rear main seal while I was there, but that's just me.

How long did it really take?

Side of the road. With a piece of pipe across the floorboard and a baby chainfall. Rather torch the rig than do it again

from no cover over the shifter opening to not checking input shaft and pilot brg.bore,i don't even know where to begin.

Guys check Francisco amaya has video of clutch replacement.. you guys make it harder to replace it.check Francisco video and Techniques how to do it.put the clutch to trans together before you install the Trans.... I did it by myself

You belt the bearing in the centre,no,get a drift to drive the outer bearing into the recess.

Got to love it. even thing I heard in here I have a tee shirt for.

How to replace master and slave cylinder video

I find it really interesting how normally US trucks are far better for doing maintenance that European trucks. But when it comes to changing clutch well we have in a lot easier. Just tilt the cab forward and you have transmission in front of you no need to crawl under it.

How is your garden doing?

Yak solo clutches

You forgot to mention the number of days too.

What a bunch of Guy's , and I didn't hear 1 single cuss word .LOL !!

Shipping bolts! Must be a solo clutch.

I really don't like those hydraulic clutch setups on big trucks. It's an answer to a question no one asked.

somebody needs to buy some Snapon Tools!!

how is the 8n tractor coming?

Need more new content

What happened to the Ford 8N

That's not called changing a clutch in 10 mins. that's called changing a clutch in 2 days. Where I worked in a dealership you had 5 hrs. to change a clutch. If you had to change the input shaft on the trans. that was extra.

Why did you remove the flywheel?

Do you still farm, have not seen any videos in months?

If it really only took you 10 minutes. Don't be a stranger blake. Have a happy 4th!!!

Forgot to cut flywheel.

My clutch went out today started grinding today .. I just paid off my 2015 Freightliner cascadia🤦🏽‍♂️ $600 for a tow $2,800 for the clutch 🤦🏽‍♂️

Make the Helpers, 150 lbs is a lot to monkey around with.

Next time they should label the bolt with a flag or something

Sad you never resurfaced the flywheel! not cool! Also I would have changed the rear main seal.

I bet they don't know about the slave cylinder bolt. It's a size 17mm. 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅

much easier to put the clutch into the transmission and install

I’m a sucker, I actually thought you were going for a record and did it in 10 minutes

I can change one in 8 minutes!

Hiya Blake

@5:21 not right

Click bait.... sorta, I changed one before or about one to two a week in a truck shop down in thorne bay alaska and its a bit longer than that if its only say a five speed fuller..... I have lost finger nails and thumb nails and pinched my belly so bad that it looked like a hole was starting in my gut.... don't miss doing them especially the ones where everything is fried harder than the mother in laws eggs. I liked working on trucks but there are a few that I remember that were not fun... like a off highway Hayes with the extra heavy suspension and all other related stuff. Makes other rigs look like tonka toys..... so ten minutes got my attention after doing them by myself a dozenteen times/LOL

Click bait
