All this time looking for a video that actually shows it and I finally found one to bad I already put my clutch in lol

[@BuyDirtCanada]

how many hours did it take you?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

5hrs 30mins

[@darwingortiz7013]

Great video, it was extremely hard to get the transmission down because of three little details. For it to come out smooth, remove transmission mount as described, completely remove the axles, fluid out of tranny and the axle bases screwed into the transmission output shafts on both sides should come out. Then is as easy as it can be. Thank you for this video, great stuff!

[@stephenalvarez4338]

Thank you so much!!! This has helped more than I can say. Finally gonna text out the car tomorrow! I hope you're doing well and thanks again!

[@Mach1Chriss]

Dope Video man 👍not too many on this particular car and yours was very thorough.

[@charliecostella]

You just saved me $1500 ty God bless

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad i was able to guide you through this and save money

The outer pressure plate bolts (along with two or three upper case/block bolts) use a tool called a "Tripple Square" sockets. Three squares stacked in equally offset rotations makes the 12 points, a-la...tipple square. I believe 9mm for pressure plate bolts, and 14mm for the case to block bolts. Side note: A 14mm triple square socket is also used to hold the wheel bearing housing to it's steering knuckle. I recommend impact rated, 1/2 inch socket type from a good manufacturer (Snap-on or Craftsman) with lifetime replacement warranties, because the points do strip out on sizes 14mm and below. Tripple Square, Torx, Secure Torx, and metric are essential tools for 90% of all VW/Audi repairs.

[@multimediaman374]

i love this car. mine have 260.000 km and stills goes VERY well. im having some little issues right now, and i think is time to change the clutch but is A LOT of job

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Its not that bad only issue i had while pulling and installation. Passenger axle plate on transmission was making it difficult to pull from motor

[@williamparker6132]

1 thing I noticed is you are using T tips when I learned that audio, vw etc actually use triple square bits. They LOOK about the same but are actually very different and the triple square bits are less likely compared to T bits to strip they also ensure you get a good fit. As you did it CAN be done with T bits but normally not recommended as the pattern is different and you do risk stripping out the bolt. I learned this when doing the cv axles on my brother's 05 passat

[@billkenny7843]

Good info.well done

[@andresutherland4306]

Bro you the man, hope you had a cold one after all that shit bro. I am glad i came across you video i have to do this on my homie 2.0T same trans set-up thanks again.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yeah it was a pain. Thanks man i appreciate it 😊! Glad it helped!

[@ryanegot6171]

My only concern is the motor mounts and dog bone you reused and I’ve heard there stretch bolts one time use only. Other than that about to replace my clutch on an mk5 rabbit pretty much identical to the mk5 Jetta

[@Mezmar165]

Appreciate your effort in making the video. I like the fact that you give the torque specs. I would suggest that in the future you lower the audio level of the music when recording---I found I had to ride the volume between your narration and the music--up/down/up/down..... I have found a Luk kit including dual mass flywheel for $249 (www.idparts.com/luk-clutch-kit-038105264e-050-p-740.html#product_tabs) that was recommended by a member of the TDI Club. Thanks again! PS, I noticed in your answers to 3 different comments asking how long the job took you: 5:30, 4 hrs, 2.5 hrs. Lol. I figure it will use up the better part of a day for me.

[@cesarespinoza3986]

Q diagnóstico se le realiza al volante bimasa ? Para saber si aún funciona

[@michaeldupin4679]

Where did you get the clutch kit from?

[@Smashn4mo762]

Just replaced my clutch with a new clutch kit and now I see white smoke from the back of the engine any ideas?

[@anastasiolanda9729]

This the same process on a 2003 vw jetta 2.0 avh?

[@noahsimpson773]

Is this the same for an 06 TDI?

[@Dbonesthemechanic]

Okay I feel ya on how you felt jumping under there breathing like that

[@kgardner004]

The bolt stripped because you use the torks instead of a triple square

[@Darkshadow-nh1ew]

Do these cars not require a pilot bearing or anything of the sort?

[@russthomson6168]

I throw za air filter clamps away and let the mafs werk it out,,,

[@pontoonfamily1]

The tool is called a triple square. 😁

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Ahahaha. Thanks!

[@kevintollefson935]

This is for a Manuel transmission? And does ABT mean my car will be different than this one?

[@adambrown9105]

Hello there, I have a tranny leak/pedal to the floor also on a 2007 vw eos 2.0t! (bpy) going to find out what tranny case I have later(02m-02s) Looking for recommendations on what clutch kit to go with and it's making my Anxiety go thru the roof im extremely nervous! My Dual Mass flywheel has 130k on it so I'm assuming its shot. My Wrencher says he will try to resurface it but VW says it's a non-servicable part! So on the 07' eos 2.0t the slave is incased in the bellhousing, hope that helps. It took about 3 days of watching KZbin vids to understand this whole 6 speed m/t clutch/seal replacement. I wish I had the tools and equipment to install my new clutch and seals but I'm an amateur who fell in love with driving & working on V-dub's only about 2yrs ago.

[@lanesteel1096]

How did you get that rear passenger axel around the flywheel? Weve been wrestling for hours trying to get it off

[@JaboTheMechanic]

You have to lower the motor a little. Trust me it sucks

[@antwanwalker3001]

question. i'm having issues after installing a new flywheel, new clutch kit, and replacing the transmission because it had a crack in but it. The car barely moves, bled the slave cylinder, no air in the line, goes into gear perfect. What could i be missing.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

If the car barely move either you put to much grease on the splines and the clutch is spinning, have a bad master or slave cylinder, to much air in the brake lines

[@4barrl]

i bought a clutch pressure plate and flywheel all in one kit, can I reuse the bolts that bolt it all to the engine?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

I reused them but

[@michaels.dodson3475]

Should you use a T-40 on the CV bolts, tapping in a 6mm hex should get them out once you strip them!

[@darreneverhart4591]

Do you by chance have the steps in word format? 😁🤔

[@Shabadabadu]

Somone changed my pressure plate bolts from triple square bolts to 12 point bolts and of course I don’t have the right size socket

[@kgardner004]

Cool you learn about triple square 25 min in

[@johnnyortiz1750]

Do you know the size i need for that cv axle nut in the center of the rotor ? I bought a 24mm and it did not fit

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Was it to big

[@johnnyortiz1750]

@@JaboTheMechanic yeah for some reason 28mm seems to be the fit. I bought a 29mm and its one size too loose

[@JaboTheMechanic]

27mm work.

[@mustang_terror0188]

How tf did you keep the flywheel from spinning when torquing bolts

[@cathy4444]

some people out a socket n wrench on the front crank bolt to hold it...HOWEVER it makes it hell if you ever need to remove the front crank bolt

[@MrJanoeltexano]

Jabo, great job. What kind of tools do you used tobtake off the clutch? Sizes and type? I have to change my clutch. I hope your support

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thank you! Sizes 15mm 18mm 16mm 17mm 19mm. 12 point star bit i believe they are called xzy type. You can purchase them at autozone 8mm and 10/12mm

[@MrJanoeltexano]

@@JaboTheMechanic Is like as Torx keys?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes it is like the torx key but it needs to be 12 point instead of the 6point. If you go through my comments you will actually find the part you need

[@MrJanoeltexano]

@@JaboTheMechanic Let me see it, thanks a lot

[@JaboTheMechanic]

No problem anytime!

[@dennisian8880]

Is this Same procedure on 2004 vw Passat v6 tnx

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It should be almost the same

[@colinokie7295]

Jabo did you use the Luk flywheel as well?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

I just had the flywheel resurfaced. But you can use a luk dual mas flywheel

[@colinokie7295]

@@JaboTheMechanic Thanks for the quick response. I was curious about their quality. VW oem is about 900 for a new dual mass flywheel.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Its the same one as the dealership just without the vw logo. Anytime

[@yahia627]

How much does it cost to replace plus labor?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Around 1500 to 3000 depending on where you go

[@Sneakerama17]

Will this work for vw jetta 12?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Should be the same

How long did this job take?

The hardest part it putting up the transmission. Glad this will help you out

[@rohanjohn9401]

About how long did this job take you?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

2.5hrs

[@eazy2hate]

You stripped that bolt because you was using the wrong tool!!! You said/used a T40 but it's not a torq it takes a M8 (triple square) if you use the right tool You won't strip it

[@LetsPlayDaPc]

would have been easier to just pull the engine trans together
