very well made instructions, helped a lot in replacing the clutch. thank you very much

[@markospolydorou]

I wish someone who cared about this car and had some more knowledge of it reviewed it. With the story this car has, I don’t feel he paid his respect where it was due. As for the seating position, there is a handle on the left hand side of the driver seat that lowers it. I love the VR6 and I hope to send mine to HPA some days as well. Mine is pretty much the same model with 67k and in brilliant black 😉

Can i reuse the same shim into the new clutch pack or do i have to so the measurements

[@dudeomondo]

I can't wait for my new clutches to arrive! Thanks for the great video!

[@thehatchback2407]

Thank you for sharing. This might be a silly question, but if my calculation is 2.15, and my nearest lock rings measure 2.1 and 2.2, is it best to lean towards the 2.1 with a looser fit, or 2.2 with a tighter fit along the shaft? Or do I get even more precise and surface grind a thicker lock ring down to 2.15?

[@ramaanomuravha8575]

Very detailed, thanks👍🏾

While taking measurements using dial gauge shouldn't the T10303 clutch retaining tool be inside?

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi, This tool is only required to assist holding the clutch basket in place when installing the top cover so it shouldn't be in at that point. If you have any further questions, please email our friendly sales team on [e-mail] Thanks

[@rmoyano1]

Hi: thanks for the video!! what is the name of the pliers you use for installing the retaining rings? Thanks..

[@cameronbrett5687]

Hey there, Could using a pry bar slipped under the clutch pack to hold the clutch drum up affect the readings on the dail gauge? Didn’t have the special tool, also noticed you guys only use it once the readings have been taken… other videos show them installing the speical tool first.

[@RobsDIY]

What does the clutch dowel exactly do? The one holding it up. Doesn’t look like it does much? Rob

[@iosifmocanu7852]

why you didnt mention to adjust the bottom bearings to match the gearbox hole?

[@ohcrapnotyou7323]

Do you need to have that tool to hold it up or can you just have a friend hold it?

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi, You could just hold it but it may be difficult to get the clip into place. Thanks

[@janmachac6394]

Hello, what purpose has that shim ? What can happen if set incorect the shim ? What fault codes can generate a bad setting clutch package? I really appreciate a realy answer.Thanks in advance ...

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi, The shim helps to adjust the release characteristics of the clutch and is very important to ensure that the clutch will operate effectively and to give long term reliability. If you don’t set the shim correctly, the clutch may not release or can slip. The fault codes are dependent on the specific vehicle. For more information on these codes, we recommend contacting a local vehicle specialist. Thanks

What is cost to replace clutch pack on 2017 Golf Alltrack DQ250

[@grg88888]

Do you lose any dsg fluid when doing this? Vw replaced my clutch pack and when I asked if there was any fluid loss they claimed no.

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi Greg, thanks for your comment. There is no fluid loss due to it being a fully sealed gearbox. The gearbox is removed from the vehicle and the clutch pack is replaced as per the video.

[@thehatchback2407]

Yes and no. If your gearbox was pulled from a FWD, no it won't loose fluid because your axle shafts remain connected. But, if your gearbox was pulled from an AWD (Quattro), the transfer case is removed and fluid will spew out of the shaft hole. You can try taping it closed, which can hold the fluid in, but don't think you can wait for parts for several days or you will have fluid all over the floor. And, if laying it on it's side fluid will eventually leak out of the electrical connector.

Hello Türkiye İstanbul video süper tankyou

[@pauliroha5506]

Hi, thanks for the informative video. I have a 2015 CC with the 02E trans. It all of a sudden stopped moving both forward and reverse. When I scanned it, I got a code P0716 (G182 implausible signal). Pls can the G182 cause the car not to move at all? Is there a way to check this sensor with multimeter. I have checked the connector and no physical damage, I have opened the mechatronic cover and the wire of the G182 looks good. before all of this, I have replaced the DSG oil and filter. Is there something else I can do? My car is 32000 miles. Thanks again.

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi, Thank you for your comment. In this case we would recommend contacting or taking the vehicle to a local specialist for a diagnosis of this issue. Thanks

Can i reused snap ring?

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi, We recommend using the new snap ring provided in the kit for this. Thanks

[@Amyyn1518]

Noted. Many thanks

[@em1ownerify]

@@australianclutchservices7503 if the old snap ring was a 2.2 why can’t I just reuse or get the 2.2 out the bag?

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi@@em1ownerify Each clutch can have a different setup height which would require different snap rings. Also, there can be wear and tear in the transmission components effecting the end float of the input shaft. It is important to check the different dimensions and then use the new snap rings provided in the kit. Thanks

[@VivekSingh-nl6hs]

I see dq250 way easier to work on and better over dq200

[@jordanhagan1996]

How do you keep the gearbox flat like that?

[@australianclutchservices7503]

Hi Jordan, We use a small stand that we have made for the displaying the transmission at trade shows, but you should be able to use something underneath to help keep it balanced and level. Thanks
