Hello guys! How many times have we been looking for a problem related to the gearbox or clutch pedal and in the end the problem has always been in the clutch kit that was placed earlier!? The brand of a clutch cannot be something that is decided by opinion or taste, it must always be the same brand that was supplied to the factory during assembly. Sometimes, inside the box with the incorrect brand, the parts are actually correct, that's why sometimes it works well, but most of the time not really!
As we can perfectly see, the construction tolerances are very different and in fact this disc rubbed against the crankshaft bolts. In addition to its central clearance, it was very unstable and difficult to drive!

Great info. This is very informative for someone who doesn’t understand how clutch/flywheel work. I have a Toyota and when I asked other fellow Toyota car owners if Sachs clutch will work, i kept reading “keep the car stock as possible”. I didn’t know what they meant. But now I know they meant to buy excedy or aisin because they are the OE manufacturer for Toyotas and other Japanese brands.

@@alfaromeonoproblem nahh... i have toyota auris 2011 1.6 valvematic... my clutch went off so the mechanic replaced it to aisin and now the release bearing is rattling and the clutch bite point is totally at the top which suppose to be in the bottom third from the floor... it is not the brand ... and actually they returned me back the old cluct h and release bearing and the clutch plate was aisin but the release bearing was luk. So maybe aisin release bearings are not quality made hence they put luk from factory.

Hello, I'm probably going to have to replace my clutch and dualmass flywheel in the next half a year, it's an alfa gt jtd, I also suspect it was remapped by the previous owner, judging by the performance I measured. What would you recommend between Luk, Sasch, valeo and blueline, I have these options in my country to chose from. some people say some brands can't be combined with the DMF from the other brand and some can.

@quillaume2390 8 месяцев назад

Hi Bruno, nice video. Question: i have a Toyota Avensis T25 2.0 petrol 2007. Clutch still works but there is some space when i go from the 2e gear to the 3e gear and from the 4e gear to the 5e gear. Some mechanics told me that the cluch is not 100% anymore. Which brand clutch would be good for my car...? Sachs or Luk or Aisin? When i let the Toyota dealer replace it, it will costs around 1150 euro. But a universal garage asks around 650-750. They use Sachs or Luk. What would be your advise..? Hear from you. Gr

@alfaromeonoproblem 8 месяцев назад

Hello. Try to find out at the dealership which brand comes from factory. And use only that one. Is very common to use Luk and it will may fail very rapidly. However, some engine and gearbox combination use Luk, even on Toyota gasoline engines. Here in Portugal 99% of cars are diesel, so I cannot advise you for your car. Sorry

@dnacannotchange 8 месяцев назад

no sleeve incl throw out bearing installed on the Sachs!!! So the shop put in a look luk.... Now I have to bleed the clutch every 5 days because it's sucking air from all the vibration

@alfaromeonoproblem 8 месяцев назад

The first video of next month will be for that! They put Luk instead of Valeo, and the problems just keep coming.

@huszaratraktor 7 месяцев назад

What if that center part got loose because the heat / vibration / friction as it was grinding against the flywheel bolts? I guess previous owner or mechanic installed a clutch that wasn't made for the car. It had the same diameter but not the same OEM number. I might be wrong ofcourse.

@alfaromeonoproblem 7 месяцев назад

Hello. Yes, that is my point. This clutch set cannot be mounted here. Only the same supplier from factory

Knocking sound comes when i release the clutch ( but if i release very gentle then dont have any knock sound) also knocking sound comes when i switching off cruise control . Mechanic check driveshaft and he looks all right . Knocking sound looks like comes from rear centre . Any ideas ? Thanks

@peterzoltan5839 5 месяцев назад

I am working with clutches almoust daily (I am a mechanic ) and Luk is one of the best brands in clutches. Here I think that the previous owner changed the clutch by dimensions reference and not what the EPC asked . For example : for an alfa gt 1.8 the best clutch is Valeo , Luk even not made clutch kit for this model.

Nice one...in my 156 mk1 sometimes I have trouble engaging the Reverse...sometimes it engages right away, other times it won't lock even after repeated combinations, e.g. 4th>reverse, 3>4>reverse, 5th>reverse....Reverse does not have a synchronizer I believe in this model....is there a way to operate it more smoothly?

@philipgligorov5848 Год назад

Same in my sister's 156 and same in my GT 1.9jtd. Just do it slowly and without much force. If you have tightened the parking brake, just release it first the car moves a little bit, and then engage reverse. You will learn to do it smoothly like that.

@alfaromeonoproblem Год назад

Hello. The best way is to put 1st or 2nd and then reverse. The operates with that set of gears. Make sure clutch cylinders are fully working

@RandomYTStuff Год назад

@@alfaromeonoproblem Thank you. I will try your suggestions. Sometimes this gets stressful, like when doing a full turn on the road; to avoid getting stuck for more time than would be safe or comfortable, I'd usually make sure the Reverse is engaged when stationary and first move in reverse and then forward, but it's not always practical. Clutch seems fine, the gearbox leaks a bit, I've agreed with my garage to change the gasket when replacing the clutch.

@alfaromeonoproblem Год назад

They normally leak. They do not use a gasket. It's a special glue

@minot.8931 Год назад

Luk aren’t that bad. I believe Luk is owned by Valeo as a budget brand and they use Valeo patterns, andY they often come with Valeo stamped parts in the box. Your clutch clearly looks like the wrong clutch for the car, which is why it looks weedy next to the correct clutch, and why it was fouling on the flywheel bolts. It was clearly more damaged than worn out.

@fun2rideadventure 5 месяцев назад

LUK is not owned by Valeo, and it is OE supplier quality , it is owned by Schaeffler ... LUK is the top one, and after came Valeo and Sachs.....

@minot.8931 5 месяцев назад

@@fun2rideadventure My experience is that Valeo is the better quality. LUK is okay.. pretty good and less grabby than a Borg&Beck clutch.. but just from their appearance you can see Valeo is better made. I've had Valeo clutches that lasted 120,000 miles. Best LUK has managed 90,000. Since the biggest ball-ache is changing the clutch, not the 10% more cost, I would choose a Valeo every time, unless there was no choice.
