Good video and very useful 10/10. Before releasing the gearbox selectors, do you lock the gear lever inside the vehicle? Thank you.

[@ford873]

No there is no need. Adjustments are made a little further back on the cables. Disconnecting from the points shown in the video do not disturb or change any adjustments that have previously been made.

DSG a similar job? How does this comapre to the Mk6? I had a really hard time getting the box back in on a Mk6.

Hi great job I have a question I have a mk 7 1.2 petrol if my clutch needs changing should the gear oil and slave cylinder be done at the same time? many thanks.

[@ford873]

The gearbox oil does not have a specified interval for an oil change. They are what's considered sealed for life. The only time you usually change or top up the oil is after a repair of the internals. If you have to drain the oil for a repair, I personally prefer to change the oil at that time. If the slave cylinder is part of the release bearing I would change it at the same time otherwise its not common practice to change the slave cylinder for a clutch replacement.

@@ford873 Ok thank you.

If you removed that last drive shaft joint to get it out easier but then surely you would spill gearbox oil put the gearbox no? I think I'd rather do it your way than have to loose some gearbox oil and top up again later

[@Gaztoof]

hi, did you do it? i'm currently having a problem: i removed it with the shaft joint, but now i just can't put it back in idk why something's blocking, did u use a special method or something if u did ?
