Any one who has ever worked in this trade and fitted clutches on your back knows how physical this is, gear boxes can weigh 30 kg upwards not to mention the weight of your head and holding a crunch for a couple of 3 hours, good work Kevin, love the mobile lift 👍
This guy here is a real trooper he can do clutches on any vehicle and he does it on the floor 😮. I could never do it on the floor as I'm use to a ramp😅😂 but all the love and respect
Really I times it 2 x, and I watched all of it all and really can’t stress enough. Can’t emphasise enough how you do it in the way you do it it’s above and beyond another class hats off ❤
This is what pisses me off about people my age now. They complain about having to work etc, I like to think I work hard on vehicles and in the motor trade when needed. This is proper graft. No fucking messing. But you try and find me a few other people like this guy who will sit on their back in the pouring rain, lifting gear boxes all day.. your an absolute fucking machine dude. Hats off 🎉
just watched up to the green Corsa at the mo learned a little trick of putting impact socket in between subframe and body to help allow remove gearbox good job you didnt stall in reverse near that electric gate lol
Currently have a Fiesta ST with original clutch on 150,000 miles. No bull either. Had it on 40,000 miles and only used on long work journeys, hardly any city/town work. Good job we're not all like that, you'd be out of work x@@WMCS
You made that look easy and it isn't people slag of milwaukee I've got the m18 nut gun and think it's unbeatable be good to see what the new ones like with the lights on the front and new battery 👍
Ty for the therapeutic video from life bro appreciate yeah g 🙏 full send bro 😏🤙🙌 ooo sweet 98K almost 100K any celebration ideas g well have a good weekend/week keep sending it yaeeyaae 🙌
Hi Kevin , Another great video!! You must clock up some miles, and I reckon changed a few clutches on that van your driving I own a Passat and mentioned it making a rumble noise when depressing the clutch pedal , I thought it was the release bearing But you said it sounded like the DM flywheel !! You were right Kevin 😭 it had seized and the mechanic had to cut it off I've got it sorted and it's running great now I'm looking to get the Timing belt and water pump changed next I was recommended getting a INA Timing belt ? What would you recommend Kevin I always thought Gates timing belts were good quality Cheers Kevin stay safe and keep those videos coming 👍👍
Glad it’s to hear it’s sorted. INA definitely makes good quality belt. I believe they use a higher than normal ratio of Kevlar and polyurethane than other brands.
Well, what can I say!? You are a mega professional!!! and I think it's the only such content on RU-vid. I wonder what you spray on the bolts that they unscrew so easily?
Que bien que ahi en ese pais se usan mucho las transmisiones manuales, aqui en Mexico y en estados Unidos ya es muy poco comun la transmision manual, la gran mayoria son automaticas y mas dificiles de reparar
So the as rabbit or guinea pig sticks there middle claw up at yuh while doin the bmw, cause they cant reach there h20,😂😂 . Yet another brilliant weeks worth of content pal.. Do you ever get nervous in certain locations leaving your van doors open mr..
Big big big big quality that there’s no phones no messing around on distractions no music and none of that is just pure pure pure hundred percent work Foucs dedication determination and just focus onwards tunnel vision you know absolute amazing❤
Wow this video was recommended to me out of nowhere. It's therapeutic to watch you do clutch jobs! Something I've always been curious about. If you have an impact wrench, why not just use that at the lowest/slowest setting for removing bolts instead of having a power ratchet? Surely at the slowest setting, it'd be weak enough not to damage anything?
Some nasty cut in the tyre on that green corsa. Hope they change that out fast and doesent run on it until a serious accident accure. One question, what desides what clutch set you put on the diffrent brands of cars. Is it price range from customer choise or is it as with heavy machinery clients, strictly whats avaliable at the moment to keep the machine running as fast as possible. Why I ask is when you changed from LuK clutch to Valeo for more strength in the clutch I always thought LuK was prefered. The pro sets I guess it´s just more parts included then the no pro sets. In Sweden they more or less always puch for Sacs or LuK. I went for Valeo as it was the brand original put in my daughters Renault Megane. But kind of felt it was a bit flimsy and thin. Hope you have and had a great time off this weekend. And as always, thank you for your weeks work video. Regards from Sweden.
I always fit what manufacturer recommends. Usually it’s what’s been installed from factory line. The thickness of a friction plate didn’t necessarily mean it’s better. You can have a thick carbon bases plate that’ll wear out in a matter of months. It’s more the content of the plate. Percentage of copper. Or ceramic. Or Kevlar. That’s what determines the quality. And as much as LUK is a well known brand it’s not always the better ones. I rate AISIN and Exedy as the more superior
luk- Mine's a luck and it sounds like a boat motor between each gear when you're letting the clutch out it's been making a noise for 3 years... Are you sure that lock is a good brand?
Impressive , really . Does anyone know about how long does it take to change a typical clutch like these ? I'm guessing 3 hours . Me personally i would take 10-14 hours for sure :D , as i've never done it (i also don't have the equipment :DD)
Milwaukee forever! I remember when u didn't have enough tools. Today it is a piece of cake for u but it looks easy all this steps but it is not. It is a lot of work and when u start u can get in panic if u don't know what to do. Please do not start doing this without studying before. There are lots of risk, specially how to lift the car with those jacks!
Even me personally. It’s never taken for granted that I’m gonna smash a repair. Every single day I always have a level of respect/fear as I earn my daily bread. Nothing is taken for granted. Believe that like you believe Christ.
Why not also change the transmission, in some cases...? Its more expensive, but the problem might be the gears in the transmission got grinded, the client would go and buy a new transmission, and you could install that one instead
When you have a car with a dual mass flywheel, how do you approach the customer? Do you recommend they change it regardless of condition? They’re fairly expensive in the states.
Always replace them DMF.. otherwise I don’t take on the repair. But I make sure to explain to the customers the importance of replacing it with the new clutch kit.
Got a question for the top guy Kevin. I'm in process of swapping a gearbox as the diff is completely shot. If the clutch isn't slipping, and isn't down to the rivets then would you reuse it or use a new clutch. I'm stuck between preventive maintenance and saving money 😁
@WMCS - question for you. I have the clutch and flywheel replaced and gearbox back on (Nissan Qashqai J11 1.5d). I haven't started it yet but when I'm sitting in the car the clutch seems quite light to push, and the gears change easily even without pressing the clutch - is this normal? I did read something about flywheels having some sort of retaining pin or glue which releases on first start. No sure if that is it or if I'm missing something. Any advice welcome. Edit: started the engine (up on jack stands as I'm waiting for new control arms to arrive). Seems to be working fine. Clutch just seems do much lighter than before.....
Well well well went through all this for not! codes p 300 P 305 p 303 Now on to the next adventure Nissan Xterra 2007 137,000 MI And I'm 71 years old needless to say I am pissed didn't fix the problem What's next in line after 500.00 worth of parts ?
