As a non-mechanic, I appreciate you reverse-engineer a clutch to demonstrate how it works, and what common problems can be. I particularly liked the part where you disassembled the riveted plate to see the importance of those springs. Thank you for your time and efforts.

@gwynt909 5 месяцев назад

I learnt a lot about clutches a few years ago. I drove a 1983 daihatsu charade and could not get a daihatsu clutch set for love of money so had to contend with a LUK clutch. Within a year the clutch collapsed catastrophically. After replacing the clutch 3 times in 3 years i found a daihatsu clutch. It turned out that the LUK thrust bearing was not the right size and caused too much pressure on the plate and it would cause the diaphragm to collapse. The daihatsu clutch lasted 10 years!!!!! Thank you for the reminder of how they work.

@GearBoxVideo 5 месяцев назад

Often overlooked on replacement clutches is finger height. So what happened is the diaphragm was being over-centered causing early failure. Since you have no release bearing travel adjustment

After adjusting the shifter linkage to factory specifications, reducing the play in the clutch pedal so that the release bearing makes firmer contact with the pressure plate diaphragm fingers to disengage the clutch disc and renewing the transmission fluid with Pennzoil Synchromesh my A833 works like a dream. So I got to thank you Paul for this fantastic tutorial because man does it feel good to fix it yourself, feels awesome.

@fgaryam 7 месяцев назад

Question. With the firmer contact of the release bearing with the diaphragm fingers, is the release bearing turning whenever the car is moving (whenever the clutch is engaged) (whenever your foot is off the clutch) and you are driving down the road. If so, how long will the release bearing last?

@James_Musnicki 4 года назад

I'm going on my second year of successfully driving my TKO-600 (in my 67 7.0L fastback grocery getter) after watching your video on how to take it apart, service it, and put it back together. I've always wondered what purpose those springs served in the clutch disc. And now I know! Thank you for this video!
