In this video I show you how to replace your clutch and flywheel on your 1979-2004 Mustang. All of these years are basically the same with a couple small changes. This procedure will work for ALL 1979-2004 Ford Mustangs. I show you all of the wear points to inspect and what parts should be replaced while replacing the clutch and flywheel. The clutch and flywheel themselves are easy to replace but, unfortunately there is no way to replace the clutch without removing the transmission. Removal of the transmission is fairly straightforward but, like any transmission, it's heavy, and easier to remove if you have a second set of hands especially if you are working on jackstands.
Here are the links to the parts and the tools I used in this video:
Pilot Bearing: amzn.to/3cEstWm
Throwout Bearing: amzn.to/3fWhYzG
Pivot Stud: amzn.to/3dV7leL
10.5" Clutch kit (Stock Pressure OEM Valeo): amzn.to/2z354ze
11" Clutch Kit (Stock Pressure OEM Valeo): amzn.to/3652OUd
10.5 Clutch Kit (High Performance Ford Performance): amzn.to/2AumSna
11" Clutch Kit (High Performance Exedy): amzn.to/36c5Vd1
Awesome transmission to floor jack adapter: amzn.to/2zOm5wX

Great video. I have a 98 cobra with the t45 and I have bbk long tube headers. To replace the clutch would I just need to loosen one of the headers so the trans would clear the headers. Thanks.

So a shop installed my MvLeod clutch and flywheel with the throw out bearing lobe on the pivot side, im sure should be on the clutch cable side. Does this really matter? Also ford did issues me another bearing but instead of a lobe or egg shape one it had a dowel pin. What would you suggest i replace it with?

@@itzsopanda3821 4th and 5th were busted haha. Got some good practice tho i just put in a factory rebuilt 3650 and it slid right in there now that i know how to line it up just right. The trick is to grease the splines up and not have the front of the car jacked up too high. I use a 2x4 to support it while i bolt it up so i can get that jack out of my way. Then i run the two longest bolts in to suck it in flat, then back them out and put them all where theyre supposed to go. I also learned that my drive shaft bolts were very loose despite cranking the shit out of them. So locktite and a 12pt socket and impact are needed. The box end wrench isnt gonna hack it. The 99-01 t45 tailshaft housing from the junkyard one is a $300 ebay item, so ill make a few bucks. I also learned that the chchch noise wasnt actually coming from the transmission, but the rear spark plug about to blow out! Sounded like a champaign bottle! 🤣

very nice job. where did you get that shift knob? also on a T-45 how much fluid do you put in, top it? do you grease the outside of the pilot bearing or does it go in dry? once again nice work on the video, very professional.
@RepairGeek
@RepairGeek 3 жыл бұрын
Shift knob is an old Mach1 knob from Ford Racing. It's been discontinued but you can find replicas easily. T45 fluid capacity is just over 3 qts. Fill it until fluid comes out the fill plug in the side of the trans. Just put a small amount of grease on the TB sleeve and on the splines. The less the better. You don't want the grease on the clutch.

Great video! I think the larger pilot bearing you did not use is the high load style, part M-7600-C.

The larger bearing is the one I used. I used the standard ford racing bearing. The small bearing that I showed was the one that came with the clutch.

I could probably do it in 3-4hrs without making the video. Just depends on how easy it comes apart. Setting up the camera, lighting, mic, changing camera batteries all takes time. Good point about the Uhaul. Thanks for watching.

Replaced my Clutch a few months ago and since then I’ve had a vibration in the clutch pedal where I have to pull up on it with my foot to make it stop. Any idea what went wrong? Did all I could to try and adjust the pedal and nothing.
@RepairGeek
@RepairGeek 8 ай бұрын
Are you using an aftermarket firewall adjuster? Sounds like your throwout bearing is bouncing on the clutch fingers causing the vibration.
