James, you’re becoming a very effective how-to instructor. Very well done.

I broke a clutch just like in the video because you didn't use a degreasing system, adjust the pressure plate. HOW YOU MOUNTED IS WRONG, I DID AS YOU WERE AND I BROKE NEW CLUTCH IT ONLY WORKED FOR 20,000 KM, NOW I NEED A NEW ONE

Absolutely top work sir. Well impressive, you voice over is calm, methodical and contextual. Keep being you when you're chatting away, it's re-assuring to a viewer what you're explaining and why. Maybe a little division into chapters would help those of us not as brave as yourself so we can divide and conquer into weather dependent chunks with the parts / tools / and time you needed / faced during your efforts. There's plenty of us enjoying your thought process ;-)

Great job! Little tip...Mark each nut/bolt with a bit of tipex when you’ve torqued them up so can easily spot any you may have missed.

Just a tip to make the gearbox fit easier. Place a couple lengths of threaded rod into the engine gear box bolt holes and use these to slide the gearbox into position then once you’ve got a couple bolts in then replace the threaded rod with the remaining bolts. Saves a lot of aggro.

James, I could've done with that scissor lift when I changed the clutch on a 2007 VW Beetle. I ended up borrowing an engine crane form my local garage. Mating the gearbox to the engine was like docking with the ISS. Fortunately, I didn't have a subframe to contend with unlike the MK4 Golf on which the Beetle is based.

How much did you tighten the flywheel bolts? 40 Nm? Looks not as enough for me. Try to look that up. I thing they should tighten 40 Nm + 45-50 degrees.

That was a great job and awesome video. Friendly advice: Try not to spray dual mass flywheel with brake cleaner, because brake cleaner can get inside dmf and melt away grease that is inside the dmf. Instead, just spray some break cleaner on a rag and clean dmf with that. Looking forward for the next video.

I bought a complete clutch kit a year ago, waiting for the courage to start this job on the street, studying all the details. My biggest doubt is the need to use a special clutch tool, something that compresses and aligns the automatic adjustment springs on the pressure plate. I built my own tool for this procedure, but now I noticed that James did not need to use any tools of this type. I'm completely messed up !!! Can anyone explain ??? Thank you James for this incredible content.
