How to Replace the Clutch and DMF on a Ford Transit Custom!

In this video, we're tackling a common issue found in Ford Transit Custom vans - a failing dual mass flywheel. Over time, the flywheel can wear down and cause significant noise and vibration, which can be a major headache for drivers. Fortunately, we'll show you step-by-step how to replace the clutch and dual mass flywheel, so you can get your van running smoothly again.
We'll start by removing the transmission and old clutch, then inspecting the flywheel for damage. After that, we'll install a new clutch kit and dual mass flywheel, making sure to torque everything down to the manufacturer's specifications.
Whether you're a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, this video will give you the knowledge and confidence to tackle this repair on your own.

Brilliant video. Looking at getting a 2015 custom with 105k and getting the clutch done would be the first job for me. Definitely a garage job by the looks of it. Had clutch and dual flywheel done on 16 plate 4x4 kuga and that was £1400 . Think because of the 4x4 bit. Thanks for sharing

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 good luck with getting the transit hope it’s a good one! Thanks for watching 👍

[@chrismcauley564]

excellent video short sharp to the point

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 thanks for watching 👍

[@Ein2404]

the air box is normally sitting here, now it's sitting down there 😂😂😂

[@MrAutoFixer]

I just had the watch it again as it’s been a while and I thought what is this comment all about, and I actually laughed out loud 😂😂😂

[@Ein2404]

@@MrAutoFixer really? it sounded to me like you said this intentionally, to start a video with a light joke :)

[@MrAutoFixer]

@Ein2404 hahah no I didn’t, but seeing it now I can see how it might seem that way 😂 I didn’t know I was so funny 😂

[@alexmacdiver]

Cheers, handy Video. Getting shudder at some junctions. 2013 at 164k miles T260. . . . No history, but sump has been off at some point. Cost benefit analysis is border line. . . . .

[@MrAutoFixer]

Your welcome 🤗 depends on the condition of the rest of the van really as to weather it’s gonna be worth doing 👍

[@poraicomamorawillian738]

Bom dia! Ótimo vídeo! Estou assistindo seus vídeos cá em Portugal!

[@MrAutoFixer]

Wow 🤩 thank you I hope you enjoy them 👍

Just stripped a gearbox out a 19plate custom with 23k on it and the duel mass is absolute toast

[@MrAutoFixer]

Wow that’s not good, they just be using playdoh now days for materials !

[@jaymechanic1228]

@MrAutoFixer its really getting worse mate. 3rd 19 reg in a row for transmission work. Fantastic tip with the gearbox stand btw just used that and it helped tilt the box in a treat!

[@MrAutoFixer]

@jamiesmith5684 I know mate I’m seeing lots of younger cars with old car problems, but I guess it’s good for me tho lol 😂 and Yh all the little tips and tricks really help so I do try and share when I can 👍

[@chrismills9346]

If you don't mind me asking how much was all the parts 👍

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hi Chris, depending on where you get them from that can vary quite a bit but for this job all the parts cost around £600 that’s the clutch kit the DMF and the bolts and oil, hope that helps 👍

[@nannypaulinescfairytales]

My transit clutch is clunking when idling and the pedal feels like it is the brake pedal when the ABS comes on. I take it its the clutch? It goes away after a bit. how much can it last and will it do any more damage other than the clutch.

[@MrAutoFixer]

Yes sounds like you need a clutch and dual mass flywheel, it’s hard to say how long it will last as I’ve had some last a very long time and some just go pop and fail fast. Best off getting it done before it becomes un drivable 👍

[@nannypaulinescfairytales]

@@MrAutoFixer It happend a tear ago and went, it seems to have gonr for the moment, just aswell it need the cam belt doing and that mean I will be shelling out a load of cash, what is an average cost for s complete clutch fitted

[@nicholasdebeer8377]

You said you had to force the flywheel back over the bolts to get it undone, how did you manage to force it over as im sitting with the same issue

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 I used a big pry bar to force it over but if it’s too far gone and you can’t then you may have to get the grinder out to cut out the centre so you can get to the bolts! Let me know how you get on 👍

[@nicholasdebeer8377]

@@MrAutoFixer thanks appreciate it, ill let you know how it goes

[@tdf3181]

Hi,thanks for the video i am watching from italy to learn how to do. Personally i have the 2.0 170hp,do you think is better a luk clutch or valeo? Thanks

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 thanks for watching! And I use LUK a lot so would use that I guess, but valeo are a great brand too so which ever you can get hold of will be fine👍

[@tdf3181]

Thanks man,because my mechanic said me replace the clutch with the same brand as you find before on the van,but i want to order the parts before dismounting for a faster job

[@MrAutoFixer]

@tdf3181 well I agree get the parts ordered and ready to make the job go quicker ! I do the same thing 👌

[@tdf3181]

Hi man,did you know where i can found the electric diagram for a transit custom 2021? Thanks

[@MrAutoFixer]

@tdf3181 hey 👋 I would say if you can’t find one on Google then you should ask your local garage if they have autodata or similar and they might be able to print some diagrams off for you ? 👍

[@androidloid2191]

I had my clutch done recently then 4 days later when driving the engine cut out and wouldn't start again. Do you think that there's something i.e sensor, switch in the clutch system or bad earth can cause cause van to crank but not start?

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 Yh there defo could be something in that job that could cause your fault, but best advice would be to get a code scan done to point you in the right direction, it could be something really simple and easy fingers crossed 🤞 let me know what you find 👍

[@AnthonyKToboh]

Is the slave cylinder in this video the same on t350?

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hey 👋 I would have thought it would be but can’t be 💯 unless I saw it 👍

[@scotts6089]

I’ve got a Ford transit custom and when I put it in to 4th and 6th gear it revs up like it’s in neutral

[@MrAutoFixer]

Well it’s sounds like not engaging the gear properly I recommend getting it looked at asap incase it leads to a larger problem. 👍

[@mikael4544]

hello, I have a transit trend 2.2 from 2016, when leaving a place or when parking, there is a noise as if the engine mounts are broken, (bang) the same is heard when driving when I change gears, I want to mention that the modor supports were changed for the third time in a row, driveshaft they are new , new flywheel clutch, reconditioned gearbox , so everything is brand new, everything was changed for this reason, and that noise did not go away ,

[@MrAutoFixer]

Sorry to hear you have spent so much money and not found your issue, firstly please find a new place for your future diagnosis inquiry’s ! And from What you describe and things you have replaced, I would say your fault is most likely suspension related, obviously impossible to tell without looking but that’s where I would be looking👍

[@mikael4544]

it is normal for there to be a little movement in the flywheel?

[@MrAutoFixer]

Yes the dual mass flywheel is ment to have play by design, there is a max tolerance of course,

[@mikael4544]

all the parts are original, I didn't buy bad quality parts, I spent a lot of money, I'm very disappointed, how could I send you a short video tomorrow so you can see what it's about?

[@mikael4544]

where are you based, if I may ask?

[@art_photography1697]

Luk oder Sachs welche ist besser?

[@MrAutoFixer]

Luk and Sachs are both great brands and of the highest quality I use both regularly, i will say Luk is more readily available. 👍

[@ssgilluk]

How much is labour for that?

[@MrAutoFixer]

I think the whole job was £1000 all in

[@user-ki5ju6tq6k]

I have a 2014 transit custom with only 53500 miles fsh sometimes first get is stiff when cold is this normal

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hi no it’s not normal, what I would do is have it checked over to see if there is a fault with the cables or if the problem is internal of the gearbox. Then you will know what plan of action you need to take 👍

[@user-ki5ju6tq6k]

thanks for your reply, van drove perfect today selected al gears easily , I was going to get the gearbox oil change see if that helps ? @@MrAutoFixer

[@MrAutoFixer]

@user-ki5ju6tq6k that’s good then, a gear oil change can’t hurt and you can check the condition of the oil too and see if there is any filings or debris in it also 👍

[@gyenesjani]

how many km did it last?

[@MrAutoFixer]

@gyenesjani hey I’m happy to say the van is still going strong 💪

[@G21242]

avarage time to do this job?

[@MrAutoFixer]

I would say 4-6 hours depending on your equipment and tools 👍

[@user-ih6kj2wi9i]

How much do you charge to replace the cluth fowls transit 2010?? In Sydney

[@MrAutoFixer]

Replace the what ??

[@Weibo-w9e]

does nlt show details of techniques used in this whole process like the 3 stages of tightening the flywheel and the technique use to prevent the flywheel rotating whilst tightening the bolt etc.. Not worth watching

[@MrAutoFixer]

Hi sorry you feel that way! The video is only 12 mins long not a 4 hour tutorial. Maybe you could make your own video on the process and share it 👍
