Did a 3 piece clutch replacement on my drive today, following your guide. Your guide was excellent, but, as always, I had a bolt that wouldn't move and added 2 hours to the job. The sense of satisfaction when everything went back together and worked was amazing. Thank you.

[@maxcauson1323]

My daughter has one of these 2012 model. Has 400000 on the clock and only now needs a clutch. Pretty good going hey!

Excellent. Top video. Easy to understand after seeing it done in real time. All the little details covered. Thorough, methodical everything covered. Top guy.

[@billaua78]

I admire the way you work. I saw your choice is Luk. Do you suggest Exedy or something else like Valeo for example, for better results? Or Luk is the only you prefer that fits best for this model? Thanks anyway for your time..

[@WMCS]

It depends on vehicle. EXEDY are very good and so is VALEO and SACHS. AP and AISIN are top quality parts also.

[@billaua78]

I am talking about Nissan Qashqai, petrol 1,6 2009 model. Exedy or Luk, what do you advice me?

Excellent Video and as they say no waffle and 15 min intro etc. One question is the Diesel 1.5 2010 Qashqai the same procedure?

[@juanc.h.s.7026]

exelente video amigo, una pregunta cuanto tardas realmente en cambiar un embrague aproximadamente. saludos

[@FPScouser]

hows it goin mate, good video! i recently bought one of these qashqais for my first car as a run a round cost me 1,500, when i got back and had a proper look over it, realised it was a bad purchase, its got near 170k miles on it so its wore in quite a bit, on top of that, someone crashed in to it at 2 in the morning while it was parked up, it caused the bumper to dint in but managed to pop it back out, but its slightly bent something to do with the front left wheel, so drives a little wonky

[@mikepaton3614]

Is this virtually the same as an M9R X trail T3, 2009, think I may have a slipping clutch and difficult to get between 1st to 2nd gear. So not sure if clutch or slave cylinder or gear cable/connections or clutch (i have read that cable gets corroded inside protective sleeve and sticks). Great videos for watching and very educational. Thanks for posting them.

[@WMCS]

I think the xtrail is a whole different ball of wax.

[@franciscoramirobinzamiro4919]

excellent video , I have a car like this , with this example , I will no longer be afraid to do the job . very good.

[@JustaboutMotorbikes]

Your videos are excellent what we don’t see is the amount of work you do on the filming and editing side. I assume you are using a GoPro to get in about all the tight spots and some sort of light also 👍👍

[@WMCS]

Honestly.., getting the camera light and action sets me back an extra 2 hours on repairs

[@casprg]

Hello I just bought a qashqai 1.6 petrol the clutch comes off high and normal or does it mean that it is worn?

[@traceywilton606]

Hey Kevin love your work. Have you done any Nissan X-trail 2005 gear box? Would love to see a video on that thanx

[@WMCS]

Back in the early days. But alas no more.

[@lordradi]

Hi Kevin, after 3 years, I have tried it again, at got to the point of putting back everything together, but for some reason, the gearbox doesn't want to go back to its place. I have checked the correct positioning of the clutchplate, I am using exactly the same kit you are in the video, verified the cog count, and used the centre tool as you did. I have tried to match it with an extra jack and tried to move it back and forth but still won't click in, the driver-side driveshaft just gets in and I can turn the wheel like you do in the video, you can see the rings moving on the other side. Do you have any suggestions on what to check or try? If I left the gearbox in neutral it wouldn't move the gear shaft inside, that was my last thought after giving it up before retrying it this weekend. Could you please help?

[@WMCS]

You have to keep wiggling it in and spin the wheel with your leg. Otherwise for a smooth operation just remove that driveshaft.

[@serkandilek5684]

hello kevin again, good workmanship, health in your hands

[@id776]

Hello mate great video I have learned a lot One question I have I’m doing a gearbox on one of those Is the gearbox coming out without removing the subframe or is it a subframe out job then ? Thanks in advance

[@firtinidis]

If you want to repair - change the gearbox you will have to take out the frame, if its just a clutch job then no, you will move the gearbox to the side and work it like this,

[@id776]

@@firtinidis Yes I can now confirm this I’ve already done it I did have to remove the subframe in order to replace the gearbox Thanks

[@Jdawgmateface420]

What are you cleaning with in the spray bottle? Looks mint

[@WMCS]

Brake cleaner.

[@drexxore]

Another outstanding job and video dude!

[@balojan-eugen6518]

Nice job! A few questions, if I'm allowed: 1. Is it always a must to remove the box completely from the vehicle or is it just roomier to do so to replace the clutch assembly? 2. What kind of solvent do you use to spray and clean the parts? 3. How many days do you rest after such an undertaking? 4. What kind of device you use to shot the video? It's generally very good quality. Thx. Keep up the good work!

[@WMCS]

Hi Balo.. you don’t have to remove the gearbox completely as long as you’ve got enough room to your discretion to safely remove and install the clutch. Any solvent is good. I use brake cleaner as it’s readily available for me. I used to do one clutch in the morning and one in the afternoon. Now I do one every day Monday to Friday.,, January to December., I’m using a GoPro for filming.

[@balojan-eugen6518]

@@WMCS Thank you for your swift answer, honestly I didn't expected it so soon. I'm a graduated mechanical engineer and I use to repair/maintain my cars myself, so I can easily realise how difficult this job of yours is, especially that you do these replacements without a dedicated elevator. Laying for hours under a dirty car is not the heaven on earth, I don't envy you at all. Not to speak about cold, rain, wind and above all, you still manage to record it...Good for you and I am glad that someone is making an audience on YT out of his hard work, done on a regular basis and not based on some shit. I wish you all the success in the world, money (I assume you do this for as living)and above all, health. Take care of yourself!

[@oscarmontero5724]

Good one! I especially enjoy any Renault-based car. This time It seems that you managed yo get in position both the drivestaft and the box at the same time!

[@WMCS]

Well ., I had to do a double take. As I didn’t want to not show how it was going on the other side. ,,, thanks for tuning in as always. There’s a nice one coming up in the next few hours.

[@oscarmontero5724]

@@WMCS Yeah, I noticed the double take. In any case, you managed and I hope you saved some time! Waiting for your new work!

[@gunstig-no]

Great video and good angles showing the work, lotsa love from Norway. Im doing the same on a Quasqai but we got into some problems where the gearbox would not pry loose as in 18.08 in your video, we have a hard time getting the gearbox to seperate from the engine. Any tips other than prying next to other outgoing driveshaft?

[@WMCS]

Wiggle and pry it out. Probably stuck on the spline ., it happens when the clutch is filled with dry rust.

[@sp2181]

Job well done mate. Its good to see that people still drive manual, down here is Australia its becoming a rare skill. Btw, what kind of universal joint/wobble joint are you using?

[@WMCS]

Hi Sanesh.., it’s great to get a review from Australia 🇦🇺.., a place I’ve always like to visit .. is manual cars becoming a rarity now .., is it because of traffic

[@sp2181]

@@WMCS i dont think traffic is a major factor. People just prefer the auto over manual because it has lower maintenance cost. The cost of labour to do a clutch is in the $1500 for a corolla so people just fork out the extra few hundreds bucks and upgrade to the auto box. The are still petrol heads,racers, drifters who are still manual drivers but the vast majority done under would rather be in D at the lights than sitting there clutch in ready to launch like a bat out of hell.

[@WMCS]

Wow that’s a lot of money for a clutch repair ... I have never been a fan of auto Box .., keeping in mind all of them still has a clutch fitted. But the selector does the shifting job ... and the plate does wear down. That must cost a lot more ...

[@jacquesscholtz6783]

Hi, great video. I am trying to do a clutch on 2.0 J10. I only have one problem. I can seem to be able to loosen the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. I have bolt requiring a T40 star bit wich I actually bent the splines on trying to get the bolts loose. Any advice?

Hi! My clutch slave gone bad. Car is a 2008 qashqai 1.5 DCI. Im thinking to do a clutch replacement, not only the slave cylinder. I don't see much difference between 1.6 petrol and 1.5 diesel. Is the same procedure?

[@WMCS]

Have a look in the channel. I’m sure there’s a 1.5dci in there somewhere. Otherwise stay tuned. There’s a 1.5 Nissan Juke coming up on Friday. Same platform.

[@remcokok1544]

Dear Kevin-Albert you are a real legend! Quick question I just changed the whole clutch system on my 2011 Qashqai 2.0 diesel 4x4. The coupling pedal has a very short move until it engages the gear. And is very stiff. This is actually why I replaced the whole system. Turns out there is no change with the new gear installed. Do you have any idea what this can be? Thanks so much in advance for your support and have a great weekend!

[@WMCS]

Check the hydraulic system. Master cylinder or clutch pressure regulator

[@remcokok1544]

@@WMCS They seem to be alright can it be a defect in the flywheel? If so is this a common issue that you have seen more on this model?
