2016 Renault Traffic 1.6 DCI (115) Clutch Replacement

[@minnietoby]

If I did that once I’ve done it a thousand times lying on my back replacing clutches, thank god I’m retired now, I made nearly every move with you Kevin, bloody hard graft, & then people complain about labour prices, it’s hard earned, well done mate

[@brendanfisher2528]

Quality work!! I'm a gas engineer and replace the cylinder on my clutch pedal, it took me more than 2 hours. 2 litres of fluid and and £60 in equipment that I didn't know how to use, 3 youtube videos.. just to bleed it! I have no idea how you know how each and every car comes apart and goes back together! Quality work!

[@WMCS]

Thank you Brendan. The main thing is you managed to get it done. 🍻

yeah they are a bastard to bleed sometimes. I got an ezibleed kit from halfords

[@paulluce2557]

I don't know how he does it.. I still do clutches in cars for friends.. But its always with an engine crane..

It was a very tight squeeze between the gearbox and subframe. So I had to take a moment to work out the best move 😁🏋️‍♀️

[@paulluce2557]

@@WMCS I had a Citroen Synergy many moons ago.. Unless subframe is removed from car, you cant get gearbox out . You can only pull it back towards nearside wheel arch and hopefully get clutch kit in past it and then refit box..

Done this on Vauxhall’s vivaro vans same job your amazing taken this on and on your back as well . Sod to get in even with two men standing up trying to get the box in between the sub frame and over the first motion shaft. You certainly earn your money the hard way young man.

[@WMCS]

Thanks. It was definitely a squeeze getting past the subframe.

[@sinanmehmet2038]

Top job again Kevin!! I have not had the joy of doing one of these only lots of the previous van's so it's was great to see how a professional does it! On his back too! I cannot believe how easy you make it look lifting that gearbox up whilst lying down and fitting it! Must have hulk dna! Also not using pressure bleeders too We always use them but I keep getting mixed reviews on them fair play for bleeding that without one! Thanks again for taking the time to produce these video's, I replaced a clutch and flywheel on a landrover discovery 3 this week and that was a bit of a fiddle to say the least! Keep up the good work and thank you once again

[@WMCS]

Thank you sinan., I try and avoid pressure blender. It’s great for brakes. With csc all they need is priming with fluid

[@erdemir5641]

bench pressing 50kg is fairly easy and a good way to lift lying on back

I have often wondered this myself.. Are their jobs where everything just goes wrong?. And are there jobs where the car is so bad that despite the customers instructions , it would be far better off being scrapped..

it seems like hes so specialised for this (clutch replace) he prob did enough of them to prevent most of unnecassary mistakes´that causes the problems in first place. like myself im doing Range Rover Sport Turbocharger replacements frequently after the 5th one u basically know what u need to do to get it done correct, with no pain, and in an acceptable time, and believe me the Turbocharger/exhaust manifold problems for Range Rovers arnt a joke work xD it basically SUCKS

That’s my van and since that clutch change I’ve racked up 25k miles. Nothing brave here. Either you know or you don’t.

[@robertklein9190]

Nice job Kevin but it's a real leaker, I guess he didn't care about the leaks, just wanted a clutch. It won't rust though. Do you charge extra when you're covered in oil.

[@austinpowers2k9]

Fair play for showing you struggle to get that box off and and mainly on, just didn't want to go! Normally you just slot them on :D

It was quite tight between the subframe and the gearbox. A lot tighter than the Earlier ones.

[@Lviv0Helper]

Amazing job. Took me almost 10 hours to get mine out. Found out someone was already in there. New pressure plate, new clutch plate, failed DMF. NOw is where I need your help. Does that assembly have a pilot bearing? The drive spline on mine is much smaller than the opening in the crank. Seems like something is missing. What can you tell me please?

[@robertfoster5270]

No pilot bearing on these. The output shaft bearing on the box are quite common for failure as a result. 2.9mm of rock across the flywheel is acceptable

[@Lviv0Helper]

@@robertfoster5270 Thanks for the answer. It was a long time in the waiting. IN the mean time, ordered a "new" pilot bearing, which does nothing. And it has the same 4 mm difference in size as the old one. The local garage had been taking of some similiar 1.9 L engine with the same trans, and there was a "real" pilot bearing with no play on the input shaft of the box. Waited 10 days for the "dealer only" item to come and it turns out exactly as you said. 4mm difference in size between the internal diameter of the dummy bearing and the input shaft on the trans. What is it there for at all....?

With the new flywheel. There’s a hole 🕳️ above one of the bolt area. And one on the crank. These two should align. Otherwise it’ll be out of time and have a permanent misfire.
