Replacing the Vivaro's clutch/gearbox. It was worse than we expected! 5 speed. 

Thanks 👍

I can do these in and out in about 2.5 hours. No front end off no subframe off and you do it all from the bottom. First jack it up or put it on a ramp, remove wheels and drive shaft nuts and lower BJ's. Unclip sensor wiring and brake hoses so don't get pulled then either jack or tranny stand under the engine undo the 1 16mm nut in the engine bay for the gearbox mount ( the only thing done in engine bay ! ) undo it and lower box down. All bolts can be seen and removed and gear cables and wiring the whole lot all from underneath. Easy. Book time is 10 to 12 hours. Nice job to do when you know the trick. Hope this helps some people

​@daleevans9029 how much does that cost ?

I'm a joiner but I did a gear box first time 8 hours with all front end off the clutch went I did it in 5 hours but I'm not mechanic but as a joiner I was happy with that and saved 500 pluss pound for a mechanic

If it worked for them, it worked for them. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone though.

Thanks, no problems 👍. Good luck getting it sorted out 🤞.

I'm a joiner and did this myself its a pain to do if it's your first as there tricksof the trade to do it easier

@@user-yx5tm1yw5z 👍

Thanks, yes the CSC is a bit of a pain. Good job sorting it out 👌.

🤣 nice one 👌

Thanks. I agree, it was a bit tough but the sense of achievement when I worked was great 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks, I'm not getting any younger 🤣

Thanks, where did you get the parts from? Cheers Larcs 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks, it was a bit tough but we got there 👍

Yes I used a pressure bleeder, I dribbled some brake fluid down the plastic pipe to the CSC before I connected it. I don't know if that made any difference? I remember it being a pain to do.

Thanks, I've got one of those fitted 👍

Yes, I wanted it higher but couldn't go much higher because of the height of the workshop roof .

Just under £1k

Yes, they have gearbox and injector issues, but don't many vans with higher mileage? Especially injector issues, the injectors are the same as any other except they can get rusted in. Gearboxes are maybe more common than some others, but other vans have different issues, like rust etc. There is no definitive answer, sorry. Good luck finding something that suits your needs 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍

Thanks, mine has a timing belt not a chain.

Thought you don't do chains unless they make a noise? They're meant to last forever lol

@@saltylips9965 👍

Yep, I had to remove it👍

I get covered too

Thanks 👍

Thanks, yes very true.

Well the parts will cost £175 ish, as for labour, I'm sorry I don't know.

@LarcsWorkshop thank you. Bit skint at the moment so looks like I'll have to do it myself outside on the road 😂 it's definitely going to rain a lot

@@c4r5on88 . Good luck sorting it out 🤞

@@LarcsWorkshop not the easiest job.

@@frednetherlands887 Yep, I agree. I wouldn't rush into doing it again.

Hallo,bin ein Fan deiner Videos . Du bist einfach super ,leider ist mein Englisch miserabel. Aber das was ich sehen kann ist eine hervorragende Leistung von dir. Mich würde interessieren wie du alle Schrauben und teile so gut wieder dorthin bekommst wo sie hingehören? Deine Licht Führung ist sehr gut man kann immer alles gut sehen. Vielleicht kannst du mal zeigen wie du so ein Video machst. Kamera 🎥 Licht Ton etc. liebe Grüße und danke für deine Arbeit die du dir machst.

Thanks Oscar, it's better now 👍

Pretty much as soon as I slid the gearbox back underneath the van 🤣.

@@LarcsWorkshop sometimes more work makes it easier

@@paulwilkinson6608 So true 👍
