It gives a quite good idea of the job i think. : )
If you have a hydraulic set up ,flush it at the same time !

You did one big mistake . All that grease is going to find its way to the clutch plate facings and the fine dust produced during use is going to stick to the grease and results in a sticky messy lump. Only graphite powder should be used on the splines of the shaft of the gearbox.Apart from this , it is a very good video.

Great video, I watched it a couple of times then had the confidence to change the clutch on my ford fusion, a little bit different but using the techniques you demonstrated all went well and I have saved £200 at least (that is a lot of money to me as I am not rich). Thank-you for this I would happily buy you a few drinks. I wish you well.

Thank you : ) I suggest you to replace the cranckshaft seal and the pilot bearing,wich is behind the flywheel,even if it doesn't leak now,it will before your replace an other time the clutch. Be sure to tighten the flywheel screws correctly,and to reinstall it the same way it came,to be sure the top dead center teeth around the flywheel are positionned correctly. Adjust the clutch cable tension if you have one once finished,so the clutch doesn't slip or operate correctly. Have a smooth work : )

I still have a Renault Twingo D7F engine, 1998 ~285K km. The clutch haven´t needed intervention, yet. But I do recognize the bearing is getting noisier by the day. By far the best "dirty cheap" car I´ve ever had. Lack a ton of modern features, but it´s extremely reliable and always deliver. I drive across Europe from time to time. About 7 countries, 3000 km to each side (6000 km total). Although the sound proofing, power, amenities, etc. as nothing to do with my other cars, particularly the Mercedes. The fact is you put gas and it takes you where you want to go, every time. ;-)

Bert Cochran - +1 on that. It's so much trouble to get to the clutch that a little more work and the main seal can be easily done at the same time. Same on the timing side, always change seal when doing the timing. Most kits have a water pump, better had the seal. In both cases is better and easier to do now than come back later and do it all over again...:-) But this is a really nice video on a clutch fix. ;-)

I changed the clutch two days ago, all by myself but I suggest to anyone to really try it if they knw what they r doing, I didn't want to hurry so it took me about 15hrs. The car drives like new now, it has abt 225,000 kms so it was time to change because it started slipping. I jst need to figure out abt th gears. It's a manual the 1,3,5 are working fine but it's hard to shift to 2,4 & reverse. I think the other cable is jammed or broaken. Any help? Will appreciate

I bought the clutch kit for $330 nd less than $90 for the oil to go in, turns it was really bad nd sticky. Bro I can't hold to myself he much you helped me, I like fixing things myself but this was a huge task, I'm jst 24yrs nursing student. All I need to do now is to adjust the clutch pedal and I think it should be under the steering column. Thanks again and again. Be blessed.

I am using Part Number KF605-02 I purchased from O'Reilly's Auto Parts in Santa Rosa California. It is for a 1989 Mercury Tracer, 1.6L non-turbo. The original clutch that I removed had 6 springs on the clutch the new one has only 4. The original pressure place I removed has many little "fingers" on the diaphragm spring, the new one has less. When comparing the two clutch assemblies side by side they appear to have the same dimensions - Throw out bearing, clutch disc, and pressure plate. But when I mount the pressure plate and torque the bolts to 20 ft. Lbs the CENTER of the Diaphragm Spring gets sucked in totally flat towards the engine away from the throw out bearing, it does not protrude outwards towards the trow out bearing at all! It is not a hydraulic clutch. When I mount the bell to the engine and connect the clutch cable properly I do not have any tension at all on the clutch pedal. It feels exactly like when it is not hooked up at all. It goes straight to the floor with very little resistance and sticks there until I use my hand to pull back it up. I did that 3 separate times wit the same result. When I mount the old pressure plate and tighten it down, the many diaphragm springs do not go flat, they still protrude towards the throw out bearing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE NEW CLUTCH ASSEMBLY #KF605-02 ?? After the person at O'Reilly's looked online at other part stores and crossed referenced then they said there is actually tow parts numbers for a 1989 Mercury Tracer 1.6L non-turbo. There are a KF605-02 and a KF605-01. He said they sell mostly the KF605-02. Is one a diaphragm type on the other a coil spring type pressure plate? Hopefully I will not have to go with a different brand.

Hello from Canada, MMMM When I get an issue like yours I find that if I go to a local Ford dealership and ask very nicely for advice from the service manager.

I suspect that you will get good , expert, advice free of charge in hopes that you buy the correct part from their parts department allan

Kilhamjim It's an other technique,i'm sure it works good too. But on a recent car you have ten bililons sensors to unplug,and it would be quicker to just make room to remove the gearbox,specially when you have no axles going inside it,but just clipped to it. At the end, one of the two have to go outside the engine bay if there is not enough room : )

Letrool Haje Hi, it took a good big half a day while filming. Few hours without. It's a simple disc ,there is no pack like on a wet clutch on bikes : i can see you work on bikes : ) The car is a renault 21,a french 1989 car, quite popular over there,but it's a granny now.

Thanks for a very good video. I used it several years ago to guide me with clutch replacement on a 2002 Saturn SL2. I just watched it again before I start another clutch replacement on My 1995 Saturn Sl2. I like the comment below about using graphite instead of grease, especially on the rotating assembly parts to avoid the prospect of grease working it's way onto the clutch mating surfaces.

Sir, thanks for the video. But it is highly advised that you do not use so much grease where you applied it ESPECIALLY on the input shaft and throwout bearing! As they spin, they may throw out the excess grease between the flywheel, friction disk, and/or pressure plate, which will cause clutch slipping. Use very little, just a thin film. And the grease is advised to be high temperature tolerant. Regards.
