Great video man, doing a clutch on a lift is actually a piece of cake.Hats off to you doing it on the ground it's a different kettle of fish as I got older I feel like a cripple for a week after working on the ground!

[@WMCS]

James Mullen Thanks for the great feedback James. You are sure right.

[@kerstas10]

did one few hours ago. I wouldnt say, that it was peace of cake. We didint wanted to drop the subframe down, (because of not wanting to pour coolant out), AND it took us a lot of maneovring to take that gearbox out of the car... and it was 2.2 diesel..

[@hipstarchild]

From watching videos like these, I've invested a few grand in tools and over the last 3 years, I can do pretty much all the nessacery work on my car now. My car is 15 years old and purrs like a kitten !

[@aston0708]

Another fine days work ,,,,,,,doesnt put a foot wrong,,,,awesome lad well done

[@ALEX31XELA]

Отличная работа братан . Правда наверное холодновато на улице . Посмотрел несколько твоих видео. Успехов тебе!!!!

[@goni0283]

Very good work man, it looks very difficult! Thx for the video!

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the review .,, this one vehicle was a bit long and challenging...

[@marcoantonioaguilera6551]

buen trabajo gracias por tus videos son muy didacticos

[@sinanmehmet2038]

Another great job mate! I've got a clutch and flywheel replacement on a 2009 2.0 diesel C5 next week this video has helped me massively to prepare, I'm now mobile too, I would imagine mine being easier than this one as I don't have that annoying bolt behind the dpf to worry about but apart from that I will lower subframe in same way and not remove the aluminium front subframe just move the gearbox across like you Got a nice easy mk 5 golf gearbox 1.9 tdi to do on Friday a lot easier than this job! Thank you once again and keep up the great work 👏

[@WMCS]

They all have that little secret bolt behind the cat. There’s always ways around it tho.

[@kieronholden]

@@WMCS what's the secret. I'm in the middle of a 3008 and watched this vid and the 3008 one. Looks like you had loads of room on the 3008 but mine is the same as this was before the magic. Did you just bend the bracket out if the way?

[@alin.gaming]

Thank you very much!!👍👍💪

[@napper1496]

When you removed driveshaft did you lose any box fluid? Or are these cars the ones where there’s no fluid loss type

[@gdb0360]

Hi, can this be done on a 407 1.6hdi without dropping the subframe. I'm struggling to pull the big subframe to chassis bolt which is just turning with a crunching noise.

[@gregdelasavoie2105]

Hello...another good clip...but you don't make too much of greace ?

[@declanmulready6160]

Hi replaced the clutch and new slave dont seem to be getting any clutch pedal just goes 2 the floor have I done something wrong

[@maurinoevora2374]

This a really great video. I have my citroen 5, 2013 clucth replaced, but Im having prblem changing gear in steep inclination. Tha car slows down. Can you tell me What it could be?

[@SamHocking]

Fantastic video, did my 407 and a couple of moments in this video really helped figure some things out on removal. One issue i'm left with is the drivers side inner drive shaft support bearing must have got damaged as making noise now. It took a lot of force to get it out of the lower engine mount and similar energy to get it back in so I probably damaged the outer bearing by accident. I see you tightening the U shaped retainer clip on that bearing, but how is this bearing meant to be pressed back into the engine mount when already on the drive shaft, there just seems to be no access to hit the inner bearing race or room for any sort of tool to press it either? Thanks.

[@pawegmurczyk5421]

Hi, very good job! I will be replecing cluth in my C5 hydro. After watchig your film it looks simpler than I thought. Could you plase let me know what suspesion position to adjust? Max or low? Tkank you.

[@craigkidman]

Hi Kevin done my clutch on a peugeot 407 2.2 peugeot followed you some little thing different the driver driver shaft stuck in bearing had to heat up to get out and one sub frame bolt night mare but sorted thank for posting videos you need a medal as big as a dust bin lid 😅

[@WMCS]

Thanks Craig. Glad to hear you managed to tackle that job. They’re not the easiest

[@craigkidman]

@@WMCS your not kidding I payed 300 quid and it lasted about 30 thousand ish then got quoted 615 in sheffield did it my self with your help the clutch didn't look like it had been done no name on clutch only numbers think it was genuine he say he put a valeo in It had dp then some numbers on it thanks again

[@Vinnie_B]

I've done many a clutch on my back, some effort fair play

[@WMCS]

Vinnie Leahy Thanks for the feedback vinnie. It’s all good fun tho. I bet you miss it. 😆

[@Vinnie_B]

By God no , I've had enough dirt in my eyes to fill a few potholes from that, I'm very posh now adays a lift and a wash before I go at it, must do my own grand Picasso soon hence finding this video, an old timer once told me a mechanics car will never be fixed, I don't disagree with him 😆

[@WMCS]

Vinnie Leahy Great humour Vinnie.. lol... 😂😂... Have fun on your Picasso. Nice chat.

About 5hrs

[@gandalfwhite60]

Mybgrey hair turns greyer, missed If you loosened The starter completely or just one bolt, and The bolt infront squeezed below? Turbo is hard to find for me, any tips or trix?

[@gandalfwhite60]

The bolt beside The cooling plate, found The bolt but cant unscrew it with My current tools

[@stejack5520]

i was thinking of replacing the gearbox and clutch on my c5, watching this i think i could do it, but ... getting old now, leave it for the young un's

[@WMCS]

The job itself is not too bad. But the suspension design is a bit over the top.

[@shauncooney6208]

Hi. Thanks for the great videos. I've been looking for one for a C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi but can't see one. I assume it's essentially similar to this or the Berlingo - is there any peculiarities to the Picasso I would need to know about? Cheers, Shaun

[@WMCS]

Shaun Cooney check the Peugeot 308 video. Exactly the same engine and gearbox.

[@shauncooney6208]

@@WMCS Thank you

[@jpbahmed9]

hi Kevin you are awesome your extraordinary work you are really very strong in France we watch videos with continuous admiration like that but we have them in your eyes Kevin I have a question how do you do to undo the screw which is right in front of the screw that holds the FAP thank you can tell me the technique because we do not see very well

[@jpbahmed9]

sorry kevin my english is not perfect because i am french

[@WMCS]

jp bahmed thanks for the review. That bolt is quite a tricky one. So without having to remove the exhaust. You have to remove one of the bolt from the bracket on the gearbox side. Then use a 13mm ring spammer to crack the bolt. After removing all gearbox bolt and you start pulling the gearbox away slowly undo the bolt as you pull the gearbox apart. Hope that makes sense.

[@jpbahmed9]

@@WMCS hi Kevin I did not understand everything because my English is not perfect. how exactly do you undo the screw which is right in front of the FAP. breaks the head of the screw holding the box. or just by unscrewing the screw which holds the FAP support you have the place to undo the screw which holds the box

[@jpbahmed9]

Kevin it is not possible that you make a video or you show us the technique to undo this famous screw

[@WMCS]

jp bahmed what’s your first language I’ll try and do a translation for you.

[@craigkidman]

Is there a bolt on bottom of starter motor going in to gearbox has to be removed got a peugeot 407 2.2 petrol clutch to do luck same luck fun eh bet its not one you like doing I bet

[@WMCS]

There’s two. One at top one on bottom. Very similar to the 308 on the channel. Have a browse there’s a few of these engines on there.

[@craigkidman]

It cost skills by persistence...

Just got quoted 750 plus vat. Said its. A 9 hour job on ramps

[@connectlogic]

Is that right 9 hours for a pro mechanics with a ramp?.. Seems like you do it on the floor in a few hours.

[@gdb0360]

I take it you had to unbolt the rack to drop the subframe, you don't show that in this vid.

[@johnabbatt2150]

Great Vid, my local garage quoted me 7 hours to do this job, now I have video proof it can be done in less than half an hour (wink).

[@WMCS]

John Abbatt about 26 mins. Lol.

[@danishzd]

That’s bullshit, you can tell he edited to make it a shorter video. It may not be 7 hours but it took him much longer than 26 minutes. He also had the car jacked up already
