2003 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol Clutch Replacement

[@christopherfarey3291]

In a word: Concise. Such a refreshing change from the usual unnecessary constant natter. Excellent.

[@timbosinius3653]

Thank you so much for this video. Armed with the official instructions from Ford and your video I just replaced my first clutch. :) My daugther's Ford StreetKa is pretty similar - there is an additional bracket under the car that has to be removed to get the drive shaft out. Removing the cable from the starter was also a pain - anybody that thinks that there is little room in a classic Mini should take a look at a Ford StreetKa.... All in all it took me three evenings in the garage - including changing the brakes and front shocks. During this I wished countless times that you offered your service in Germany ;) Oh - a note for anybody trying this as well: Make sure to jack the car high enough if you want to drop the gearbox on your belly like Kevin-Albert is doing it. Also make sure to not to have too much distance between you and the gearbox. It can hurt quite a bit. I would say that is for the more experienced... For lifting is back I ended up laying a 2x4 beam on top of the engine bay. With a small pulley I lifted it up , secured it and then went under the car to fiddle it in place. If I need to do this again I would also lower it down this way.

I watched this when I was stoned I've no idea why I haven't even got a KA But I enjoyed it, went on for ages. 😊

[@WMCS]

💨 🚬 .. hope it sparked some creative ideas 💡 .. 😁🍻🍻

[@MamaChaos]

The amount of faith you have in those jack stands 😂 I know this is a couple years later but I gotta remove my gearbox and this video is priceless.. thank you!

[@gavinrichardson3918]

Absolutely invaluable! I was dreading doing my clutch! But after watching this, then watching again step by step as i did it, helped massively! Thankyou so much!

[@WMCS]

Gavin Richardson glad to hear the video came through ok for you. Thanks for sharing the experience on your repair 🎉... well done for tackling a clutch repair.

I don't see women or girls, doing this... When ? They wanna be men right, same pay, same this, that ... Great job and clutch replacement video. Superb.

[@chookvalve]

Love your work! and so replacing a clutch is much like doing lots of crunches and benchpress

[@caerleon87]

How do you drain the gearbox oil?? I do not think there is a drain plug on mine. I could do without getting covered in oil when i pull the shafts out..

[@antoniahorge8983]

Many thanks. A very great and helpful video. I have only one question. Where is the hole to refill the gearbox with oil and how many liters?

[@kye3884]

Did you find out?

[@petersutton1609]

There is a hex on the box facing forward fill the box from there while the car is level keep filling till oil starts to come out and its approx 2.8 litres.

[@gipippa1300]

hi Kevin. can you explain me, why do you prefer Valeo clutch instead Sachs in this car. next spring I must to do the same work, so I want to know which the best. thanks man!!

[@WMCS]

Hi Fabio ., usually I replace like for like. Whatever the manufacturer recommends that’s what I use. Hope your repair goes well 🍻

[@gipippa1300]

@@WMCS let me understand.do you use the same manufacturer that you found in the car? so you haven't a preferred clutch that you use. correct?

[@cesarchristensen689]

Muy buen trabajo, te falto purgar el bombin de embrague y colocar el aceite de la caja.

[@ichigochan78]

Any ideas about changing clutch and brake oil? Pedal clutch doesn't work, maybe the O-ring or there's too much air in the circuit.

[@BrakesWheelsAutomobiles]

I know this is an old video but could anybody tell me where the plug is to drain and fill the gearbox oil. Also so these cars usually have a high clutch or is it a sign of clutch wear

[@jesporo5]

Good video, im using it to get to the oilpan of my Ka. But what transmission oil goes in the Ka, i can't get any information about that... does anyone now?

[@mayhemmechanics4068]

Did you re fill the gearbox?

[@kuskie2190]

1:44 how do you just knock a threaded bolt out?

[@WMCS]

With a pin punch.

[@kuskie2190]

@@WMCS was not expecting a reply on a video this old, appreciate that 😅 is it not threaded all the way through?

[@peteredwards9147]

Great video, you made it look easy. How long did it take you in total to do this work.

[@Pamaco]

Have you ever had a problem with the master or slave cylinder after replacing the clutch?

[@WMCS]

Not as of yet.

[@thatxolani1766]

nice clear video.... is the gearbox removal procedure the same for the Ford Bantam?

[@WMCS]

xolani hlongwane the Ford bantam gearbox resembles and closer in comparison to a Ford Fiesta or Ford Focus to some degree. Check the channel for the mentioned video. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for sharing this, I’ve booked my KA in for a clutch kit, it’s made me appreciate what’s involved in the job. How long did this take you altogether?

[@mayhemmechanics4068]

What a performance

[@martinbrund]

Great video, thx for help

[@justinhinchliffe2355]

Hi Kevin, love the videos. One question; what is the yellow cap you put over the clutch oil pipe called and where do you get them? Many thanks.

[@WMCS]

Justin Hinchliffe I usually collect them from new parts. It comes with a new slave cylinder

[@ritsd1]

Respect!!

[@merthatemoglu]

Hey Kevin, nice video! i wanna ask a question about reverse gear light switch. what is pressing to that light switch inside of gearbox? I have changed my ford ka's switch. When i press to light switch with my hand, it is working. But, after assembly it is not working. Can it fixable without disassembly to gearbox? Do u have any idea about it? Thanks a lot

[@WMCS]

Mert Hatemoglu sometimes the little plunger inside the switch gets a bit worn and don’t quite make contact with the selector. I’d start by replacing the switch first.

[@merthatemoglu]

​@@WMCS thanks for quick answer. I changed switch with new one. But still no action. Old switch doesn't work inside or outside manually. But new switch is working before assembly when i press with my finger manually.

[@alexmac101]

I just changed both front wishbones and ball joints recently. Few weeks after the car has regular RPM but very slow acceleration, like the brakes are on. If it’s the clutch I’m scrapping it 🤦‍♂️

[@peterfilotas8027]

[@ludataunatusz]

You never fill gearbox with oil?

[@WMCS]

ludataunatusz yes you have to put oil in

[@peterjones035]

Isn’t that a gearbox swap.?

[@WMCS]

Peter Jones it’s a clutch replacement

[@peterjones035]

Ahh I get it, it’s the whole clutch and not the clutch discs where you need a clutch alignment tool. It’s a great video btw. I’ve got a ka and I’ve done loads of work on it,welded both sills and wheel arches, apart from the rust they are good little runabouts. Nice 👍

[@WMCS]

Peter Jones very true the do suffer from the old rust they do. I don’t show actual clutch mounting as if someone gets it wrong then it’s not good. But there’s plenty of video how to mount a clutch. Thanks for your feedback
