Williams Mobile Clutch Service. Behind The Scene (Week 08/03/2021)

[@corvair140]

I have been a mechanic/technician for 30 years. (not now) I used to do many clutches 'on my back' at nights and weekends, so I know first hand how hard this is. 90% of the guys I have worked with over the years couldn't do what you do in a fully equipped cosy workshop. Respect to you. Keep going. Just hope you have a master plan. You don't want to be doing this in your fifties!

[@parteibonza]

I remember back in my 20s, muscling up a transmission into the splines with just a regular jack and some wood. Boy those days are long gone. The body just can't handle it anymore.

[@carstencroessmann]

Totally agree, time is ticking, and with that kind of effort he is dealing with. I mean he's making several clutches per week. In a shop you have maybe one per week, if not less. I mean brakes and oil changes, exhausts etc. are easy when it comes to comparison with clutches.

[@davidlane5715]

Having fitted clutch's in for over 30yrs, 7 days a week, your arms/hands/shoulders wear away, working in the rain/snow/boiling hot sun hits you, I'm now 64 and out of the game, invest your money Kevin in property, that is what I did. but I must say, them power tools take the sting out of it, never around when I did this job.

On the white mini, u really flew. Between the rear subframe and the the front clip, there seems to b a black piece of strong metal that u take out and set on the floor. This seems to allow u to not even move or loosen the rear subframe. Must b a pretty late model. Enjoying this one with my morning coffee

[@WMCS]

D’day to you Bill. That bit of attachment that you mentioned makes all the difference.., it only occurred to me last year that by removing that part I can fully remove the gearbox rather than leave it partially on the subframe. But the newer version from 2019 onwards are much easier underneath but very complex at the top end. As can be seen in the specific repair video I made last month. Hope you’re keeping busy your end. And getting in nicely with the cars you’ve got up on the ramp.

It's amazing what Kevin can do with an impact gun and some sockets! Thanks for sharing these videos! I think the most annoying part on the mini is opening the hood! I know because I had one and it was such a pain until I found it!

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback

[@billrimmer5596]

What about the Transit Connect? U have to use the car key. The first one really stumped me!!

[@billrimmer5596]

Hitting the bolt with a running M12 will often break it loose. Notice how he does that. The ratchet has twice the power that way. On the high up bolts, I would often use two impact universals. The half inch gun has the beans to break em loose and spin them off. Saves loosening with a wrench or ratchet and then having to grab the M12. Super trick on releasing the inboard CV joint. Using that big chisel like a pickle fork. Gonna do that on my next Scion driver's side axle. No place to pry, at all. Another good one is the leg over the bar to keep control arm down while r and r ing the ball joint, especially the ones with the pinch bolt system. Hate that one. Love the three bolt ones on the Toyota. Battery trays r nasty. WD on the threads from the bottom when u can. Surprised u didn't bust out the K heater. Working the bottom with the hood closed, sweet! Have a great day! I have the same Mac 3/4 impact uni. U must have broke or lost yours. You're using one with 3 ground ID marks now. Miss the old one

It's so jerky that its impossible to drive then on the car screen I will get error messages "transmission malfunction" drive slow. That's what it says also the car has a completely dead battery. I'm thinking the battery and alternator are not providing enough power for the smg to work correctly because I was reading some forms and it happened to a guy who had a m3 . Is there any helpful information you can give me or point be where I can find some answers . Also smg pump is fine because I can hear it primping before starting the car. Please it would be very helpful.
