I have never seen camera work this good on a car repair video. You are setting new standards!

[@mustaphab3439]

hey kevin, you just fix and film everything. you are a winner when it comes to filming. everything is clearly shown. I admire your work from Antwerp (Belgium). you also do strength exercises, lifting those gearboxes yourself. hats off

[@markopeshikj6924]

Following this very steps I was able to change my clutch on my Seat Altea XL 1.6 petrol. There was some minor difference on the gearbox bolts and the exhaust pipe but all in all it was very easy job, I was able to do it myself and it took me around 4-5 hours in total. As an alignment tool I used my "right eye" and the gearbox went on in a matter of seconds.. Thanks a lot for the video man I appreciate it indeed 💪🙂

[@marcoantonio078]

I actually find it easier and less sore on the back doing them on the deck. Get the box onto your chest and lift, Bit like doing press-ups on the ceiling 😬

[@paulshef2489]

Did my first clutch with your help, top man thanks 👍👍👍

[@tk4270]

I came across this and watched it simply because i have a Mk5 1.6 FSI Golf. Good strong car but it only likes super plus fuel. Normal unleaded makes the engine rattle when pulling away espeacially on hills. This gave me an insight in what a mechanic doing this, has to go through. Man seems to knows exactly what he is doing. My clutch seems fine at the moment. My Golf has done 53k from new. At what kinda mileage does the factory clutch tend to go on these.

[@BarbuleasaValentin]

I have managed to change the clutch from my Seat Leon 2009 with a similar engine setup using this video. You are making it looking easier than it is but it is not impossible if you have a pair of helping hands when removing/positioning the gearbox. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic video, i have to replace the gearbox on my MK golf fsi 2006. Gonna do the clutch as well. Do you have to have the car in gear or neutral when taking the gearbox out or in? I had to have it gear when doing one on a Mondeo as it would not fit otherwise.

[@brityn6514]

Great vid

[@oldguy8078]

Another great video. Let us know how long each clutch takes, it's nice to know.

[@garyoakes1473]

The last time I changed a clutch was nearly 40 years ago and this was on an inline gearbox. I watched the video three times before embarking on the mission to replace the Golf clutch. I must admit it was not easy. Just about every nut, bolt and screw were challenging to undo. This is not surprising for a 15 year old car. A stud on the ball joint snapped as a result of rust. The weight of the gearbox was also challenging when lifting back into position. I spent a good 10 hours replacing the clutch and this was really only achievable and possible due to the thorough step by step well put together video tutorial. Apart from my time being free, the clutch products including the clutch plate set, gearbox oil and the clutch centralising tool cost me just under £100 here in the UK. Of course I had to pay extra to replace the ball joint. I was not clear as to how much gearbox oil to put back in but went for 2 litres. Is this correct?? I also had one piece leftover. This is something that fell off the gear change mechanism and is a plastic dome shape thing. Any ideas anyone?? I would be glad to show an image if there was a way to do this.

[@Juppie902]

I need to do this job on my 2006 Golf 5 SDI. Do you have a good impact ? Because I don't and I see Kevin here uses a Milwaukee Fuel series, I assume the 18v one, that's a friggin monster, and expensive here. Is this job do-able with hand tools and maybe a Deko 18v impact ? And yes for my 5 speed manual tranny I read its 2L somewhere. Or 1.9L but 100 ml won't kill it I think, if it lived that long. My car has over 720K KM clocked and it was beat by driving school as its first owner. Still runs!

[@garyoakes1473]

@@Juppie902 Hello. I did not use an impact drill, although are useful, as I was not prepared to spend more than I needed to. The job is about perseverance as well as following the video step by step. There was one point in the video where I was unable to get my bearings. If you are looking to do the job then I can probably help you here. In terms of tools, ensure you have the correct torx sockets etc especially for removing the driveshaft bolts. Regarding the driveshaft bolts, I would replace these for new ones. I purchased these from eBay. Because the age of the car, you are likely to find many of the bolts/nuts/screws difficult to remove. Use long-reach tools like a breaker bar. This should help. When removing the clutch fluid, catch this in a container so that you can measure the amount removed. I did do this but then dropped the container and spilt the contents. The clutch change on the Golf is challenging but doable. I guess the challenging aspect is why there is a large garage cost to do the work. Hope this helps. Do come back if you have further questions.

[@adrianmaree8352]

@@Juppie902 It's good practice not to use an impact for this job. Use the correct torque settings.

[@darksoul7538]

I know I'm replying a little late but gearbox oil capacity should be around 3 litres. You are supposed to put 2 litres in, then spin the gearbox for about 5 minutes and then fill remaining 1 litre.

[@garyoakes1473]

@@darksoul7538 Thank you for this advice. I did end up adding more gearbox oil to the point where the oil started to drip out of the refill hole. This would have been close to 3 litres.

[@jamesmcgrath7903]

Hi Kevin. Hope your well mate. Just a quick question where did you get the Little black tray from.

[@jamesmullen262]

Another great one bud,Milwaukee should send you a brand new gun after all this unknown advertising. If people were unsure what impact to get after watching your video's they will know what one to get!

[@marcoantonio078]

I have a DeWalt and I think it's run the Milwaukee close. Perhaps a little less robust but some power and very well priced. I bought a drill and 1/2” impact for under 300 brand new. Had to buy bigger batteries along the way but still.

Hi, I know this is old but firslty, thanks for the video, What did you drain from the engine to begin with? did you use an engine suppor? is it the same process for a single mass flyhweel? I found it interesting but just ciruous of there is a different process for SMF vs DMF? I am due to change the clutch on my mk5 this weekend so any help/tips are appreciated. I have read you put red grease on the parts on the video but what did you clean the fly wheel with before when you sprayed the parts? if my DMF is okay when I take it apart is it wortth keeping it or shall I sitck with the SMF as I am on a tight budget! Any help is greatly appreciated legend, Regards AP

The pressure plate is getting weak .. not squeezing the clutch against flywheel correctly. Just find the biting point and you’ll be fine for a while longer.

Hi, I have made a few comments but ive got to the point where there are two bolts next to the honeycomb linked to the cat. ive tried a 16 and 17mm spanner but had no luck with both.. i cant find a 16.5mm. what did you use to remove the bolts next to the honeycomb? thanks

[@WMCS]

Should be a 16mm

[@alfiepeake2709]

tanks for replying. one of the bolts came out fine the other was minced and im split between drilling from the other side (thread) or trying to remove the honycomb and using a bolt exctractor. either way do you know what bolt this is as I will most certainly need a replacment. I have ordered a fix kit for the flex pipe so i can replace if i have to remove it. its so tricky as its such a tight space I can barely get a dremel in there.

By the way, how did you managed to change the position of the hidraulic jack before installing the mounting support? Thanks for the video! Waiting for next (if your prime minister allows you)!

[@WMCS]

Oscar Montero honestly pal... your attention to small details are very impressive ... I never use the sump to lift the engine back up. Only for lowering and holding it in place whilst the gearbox gets removed and installed .... I always use an axle stand to take the weight while I shift the jack underneath the gearbox for lifting back up ... I was surprised myself when I saw the red rubber grease on the bolts still very fresh .... so I asked the customer wether he’d got the clutch replaced fairly recently and to my surprise he’d got the car for 6 years and never changed the clutch... it really shows how effective the rubber grease is... particularly on the VW’s as they are renowned to oxidise the bolts which generates very dry white powdery rust which in turns often seizes the bolts in place ... This was a nice repair and without filming it would have been about 3 hours Max. But always an extra 2 hours for filming any repairs .... Thanks as always for your input on the forum.

[@oscarmontero5724]

@@WMCS Thanks. You know better than me that details make the difference. Clean driveways are one of your details Could silicone grease do the same than rubber grease? Thanks!
