clutch replacement - Toyota Yaris Forums

vwtech · 09-22-2010, 07:45 PM

finally got the correct input seal in and I removed the trans to find the input shaft seal is INSIDE the transmission. I had to completely disassemble the entire transmission to replace the seal the job took me 7 hours I'm just glad we had the 4 different pullers needed to remove fifth gear and pull the input shaft bearing out to replace the seal. everyone needs to take a peak under their car to make sure your not leaking gear lube as well.
on a side note the trans is very easy to pull and you do not need to remove the subframe.

Wow, sounds like a bad design that's not readily servicable for something as simple as a little seal. DIY hell!

I wonder if Toyota would tend to replace the whole tranny vs. keeping a tech down for 7 hours changing a seal.
Kinda glad I got the auto though I originally really wanted the stick.....
