How To Replace a Clutch Kit and Flywheel On a VW Jetta TDI / Manual Transmission Removal PART 1

[@moffatk7948]

Yo bro, im about to tackle this same task on my Tdi Tiguan. You make it seem so easy. The hydraulic jack, the engine support bar, the gearbox jack make the task so much easier and safer as well. Welldone👌🏻

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@moffatk7948 Thank you!

[@mlue1466]

Thanks for a great video. You have a talent for explaining each step as opposed to rushing through like most KZbinrs. Keep up the good work!

M Lue Thank you!!

[@markgagner1607]

Excellent attention to detail. With this as a reference I am confident enough to do mine myself!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@markgagner1607 Thank you! Good luck with your vehicle

Amazing video bro! Down to earth and good diagnosis!!!!! Now that I know how to diagnose the throwout bearing I can sleep and rest well knowing that my clutch pedal dropping to the floor is not the clutch slave cylinder throw out bearing. I’m confident that my issue on my 2013 TDI is the master cylinder! Thank you once again!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Tito Rojas My Pleasure! I'm glad to hear that the video was helpful!

[@SamSamuylik]

So was it the throwout bearing/slave cylinder or something else? My pedal is also intermittently going almost to the floor

[@richis2fast4u]

@@SamSamuylik That's what I"m having also. What was yours?

[@SamSamuylik]

@richis2fast4u it was the slave cylinder (throwout bearing) unfortunately. One day it got really bad and I couldn't put it in gear. $280 and a weekend of work I did it in my backyard. (New clutch disc and slave/throwout)

[@richis2fast4u]

@@SamSamuylik Ok thanks a lot for the feedback. My car had the turbo go out, it sat for a couple months before I had time to replace turbo. Got it all back together finally a couple days ago and on the test drive the clutch pedal is now nearly to the floor. But the turbo is good -_- lol. Always something with these cars lol

[@Johnbrian210]

Great video man. Watched it to see if it would clear the subframe. Easy transmission removal with some extra hands !

Infamous 281 Thank you!!

[@johnnylee948]

Good video, you make it look easy and I look forward to part 2!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Johnny Lee Thank you!! I appreciate you!!

[@lonestarlonewolf]

Oh nice. You didn’t have to remove or loosen the subframe lol that much space. I worked on a Corolla hatchback, very similar set up. But there’s barely space. I had to remove the subframe to clear it

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

LoneStarLoneWolf I like this VW set up!

[@Usmanthemecano]

Great job as always bro! Can't wait for part deux

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Usman The Mechanic Merci Mon Frere!! I Will love Part 2

[@ivanvega2821]

Thank you for the video! Currently working on a 2014 Jetta 1.8T with the famous 09G transmission. Is it necessary to remove the subframe to remove and install the transmission???

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@ivanvega2821 Pleasure! On this Model There is no subframe to drop!

Using this for my beetle (since there really aren't any good resources on any new beetle (2010+). I guess they don't break often enough lol. Anyways, similar enough other than the Axle portion of the transmission being a pain.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@NerdConfederation Yes it's pretty much the same thing!

[@basilrabie8067]

Bro. Hello from South Africa. Can you replace a dual mass flywheel with a single mass flyweel on a jetta 5 1.9 tdi?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@basilrabie8067 I heard it's possible but I don't like deleting or changing components!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@kanto57 YES! it's the same process!

[@Britcheflee]

Excellent - going to remove transmission from my 2004 jetta tdi with bew engine. I dont have an engine support - can I support the main engine from below with a trolley jack and some wood blocks?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@Britcheflee can you rent an engine support bar?

@ethanpage2297 Send me an email and I will let you know

[@xrated179]

Had to go without a car all 2021, spent $2500 on Uber the whole year. For one broken bearing you need to replace all those components? Im going back to Uber 😅

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

X RATED Lol!!

[@goodyfpv2297]

You didn't need to do that if you're changing the whole clutch assembly it doesn't matter which one you buy to put back in they all fit as long as you change the whole assembly and not just the clutch if you was changing the clutch only then you would need to know what make it is

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@goodyfpv2297 that's not what my service info says!!

[@db2738]

For anyone watching in 2024 you do not have to disconnect your coolant line. It did not get in my way at all. Save your coolant

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@db2738 Good!
