MK4 Clutch install P2 w/ Black Forrest Industries Mounts

I install a new clutch in my 1999 Volkswagen Golf. I also handle other odds and ends including installing 2 of the 3 motor mounts I got from Black Forrest Industries.

I don't even have to replace my clutch yet, but I'm enjoying these videos. Well put together. I think I'm ready to change my clutch come time to do it.

If you havent seen em before, they make aluminum replacements for a lot of the plastic coolant adapters/tees- no more breaky breaky - hope it helps Grear vids and editing- appreciate you filming the whole reassemembly- a lot easier than when people say "ok do it in reverse see ya later" haha

[@tswelelomalabola6670]

Really love your videos. They give me confidence that I can do it too ❤

[@user-bd4xk4bk8m]

Thanks for the vids. I’m buying a 2006 MK4 GTI and I have to do a clutch replacement on it

[@horsrs843]

love your videos !👍🏼 many dont explain and show steps very well, I have to take trans out for a third time, Been dreading it due to how long it took to get it in hole lined up again idk how long it took you but seems it went alot smoother, hopefully 3rd times a charm🤦‍♀️

Did you like the new mounts you used? Great video overall gave good view of a lot of stuff. Ive pulled a 02j a few times, some things that i do differently, jack the engine to where its level most of the time. The only time i lower it more is to get the axle bolts out and the bolts for the bracket to trans mount out. ( I do a lot of stuff from wheel well with power tool extentions, wobble extensions ect so lowering the engine to get those bracket bolts helps there and with the cv axles. Also remove shifter weight so it's not sticking out Also when installing it and removing rotate diff upward makes it a ALOT easier at least for me. Dont get me wrong i still struggle a bit lol

[@MaqsVids]

I do like the mounts. I still have to install passenger/right side mount though. I hope to do it within the next month.

[@BRWfilms]

@@MaqsVids so you would buy them again over stock mounts?

[@Bobby-ro7jn]

Very good video. The SACHS kit you have did it come with that alignment tool and the throw-out bearing?

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks! And yes it came with both.

[@mikek4306]

Any chance u can send the torque values for the pressure plate like the video btw

[@josecendejas952]

Wassp man Just wanted to know how mucho did you get the repair manual?

[@dtrain1634]

Did this resolve the gear selection issues?

[@zackbiskup366]

What was that piece that you replaced that you greased up on the transmission that was held onto that ball with those clips?

[@MaqsVids]

That was the throw out bearing.

[@nickroberts6133]

Hey man how did you manage to get the cv cups in position, I just had a really hard time removing my transmission and the cv cups kept hitting the fly wheel

[@BRWfilms]

I do it with the engine sitting level. Jack under engine. His engine was dropped way down, if your doing that this could cause it to hit when you lift trans up. When I do it I rotate the rear of trans differential side up almost to clear sub frame. CV cup kind of goes under and behind fly wheel I think the inception cover gave me a lot of trouble once so make sure that is removed, mine might of bent as well. Anyways. Rotate trans diff side almost upward diff in first above past sub frame than rotate down into position Maybe this will help I also remove the driver's side ball joint to make it easier to move the driver's CV axle out of the way. You may want to remove yours completely from the knuckle to give more space if you can't get it completely out of the way. This can help. Again removing 3 13mm bolts from control arm to ball joint makes it easier to move axle and take it in and out cause it allows you to pull the knuckle outward

[@islandrsxboostedk2412]

U don’t have pilot bearings?

[@MaqsVids]

It does. I installed it on the flywheel in the previous video.

[@enzhotix6430]

What if you don’t have that many jacks

[@MaqsVids]

🤔 You could do it with two. But even with 3 it wasn't fun. I have done an Integra transmission with 1 jack and a wooden board. It also was difficult.

[@enzhotix6430]

@@MaqsVids will keep in mind

[@Donovanperro87]

Ya didn’t tell us the torque values … only reason I’m watching lol

[@MaqsVids]

I got you...if I'm not too late😉
