Smart 451 Clutch replacement Ep.6 of 7 (Clutch disc)

[@TheHandyman1313]

I recommend getting a tork wrench. it's necessary for this type of work. Guessing isn't good.

[@UnauThorizedMechanic]

Hi, I have several torque wrenches, and I use them regularly, as you can see in the video. If you watch from minute 08:00 it's clear, unless you know how to recognize a torque wrench.

UnauThorizedMechanic what year is yours?. Mine is 2012 fortwo pure. i am working with the ABS module and installation of positive cable from battery. I got flooded under the carpet. Still inspecting if it is the AC draining hose or a leak in the windshield.

@@roigeston7001 It's a 2011 Pulse. Take a look at the door seal, water could get in there.

I cant believe how much work, I replaced the clutch on a Saab 900 s in my driveway and it didnt give me this much work.

Hey a mechanic told me i have to replace the clutch plate on my smart roadster and it was 550€ but i found them online for 75€ is it worth it? Thanks in advance

[@UnauThorizedMechanic]

Hi, do you mean the flywheel or the clutch disc? However, if you do the work yourself you save a lot

[@irditzani8953]

So when i start it or reverse it it gives me a small kick and shaking so they told me that i need clutch and plate but what else do i have to change necessarily? ( also i think it must be a difficult job for me to do)

[@UnauThorizedMechanic]

The smart clutch lasts less than 100,000 km. The flywheel, if it hasn't been mistreated, much more. Even damaged engine mounts can create shocks like a kick. However, you have to dismantle it to understand.

@@UnauThorizedMechanic thank you so much 🙏

[@UnauThorizedMechanic]

You are welcome!

Where did you buy the clutch allignement tool??

[@আবুবকর-ন১ধ]

you can take socket too my toptul 12mm 3/8" socket with extension fits perfect, but try your sockets

I just did this job, just don't, it'll take years of your life

[@grazz7865]

I was thinking the exact same thing!! 😂. It looks like a painful process. My wife has a smart car and I do routine maintenance on it. You need hands of a 3 year old to access most of the bolts. Her car has 44,000 miles on it. When do you think the clutch replacement will come?

[@UnauThorizedMechanic]

Years of pain

[@UnauThorizedMechanic]

At around 70000 maybe 80000 (kilometers)

[@richardlord4132]

clutch job that cost more than the Car Brand New.....Lol

[@grazz7865]

Not really. It’s anywhere from $2500-$5000 for the job depending on where you take it. Obviously, Mercedes will charge you a whole lot more for parts and labor.

[@fuyouto]

what a shitty car .. i own one

[@grazz7865]

Why do you say that? My wife has one. Obviously, it’s Mercedes low end car-but you have to love it for the fuel economy and parking!

[@fuyouto]

@@grazz7865 have you driven honda city or mg 5 ? those cars have way better fuel economy . how about a shitty cluch actuator ( the worst in industry ) or the useless suspention system that makes you feel like riding a horse

[@grazz7865]

@@fuyouto suspension I’ll agree-could be way better. On the highway-hit a heavy bump it sounds like the car has no suspension at all. Clutch actuator is not too bad if you have a mechanical ear and can listen to what the car is doing. Take your foot off the gas, let the RPMs calm down and it will shift right away-nice and smooth. Give the gas one quick pump while you’re moving and it will downshift. Little trucks to the trade.
