After all those days of going over this…..thanks a lot I completed the job…#ps stupid drive shafts was in the way

[@JackyJacks89]

Glad it helped..yeah the drive shafts always get in the way..best option is to remove them completely but that makes extra work..

[@jimhaggis7263]

Which tool did you use to remove the drive shafts? Is it a hex or a star? And what size? I'm having trouble

[@bronwindaniels4908]

Please do more services of this car as i am about to do all those services

[@JackyJacks89]

@bronwindaniels4908 will try..🤘..and Goodluck with yours..

[@jimhaggis7263]

Great video Is this gearbox the same as a vw polo 9n 2004 1.2? Thanks

[@JackyJacks89]

Thanks..yes it is..

Just finished it but now the gear cables are stiff af any ideas wont? Might need to adjust them And the bloody drive shafts were a pain 😂

[@JackyJacks89]

Check if there ain't nothing pushing against the cables like a water house or even wiring..if not then just some adjustments should sort the issue out..also try spraying some lubricant into the sleeving of the cables..also have a look at where the gear cables hook onto..that could be stiff and make it seem like it's the cables..yup those side shafts sure make the job a bit harder but removing them completely takes way longer..

[@declan767]

Is there a clutch hose or cable to disconnect? If there is, where is it

[@declan767]

Nevermind I just saw it in the video haha missed it the first time

[@JackyJacks89]

No worries..I was just about to say at 3 minutes and 10 seconds it shows the hydraulic clutch hose..glad you came right..✌️

[@declan767]

@@JackyJacks89 this video will definitely come in handy as I may need to do a clutch and gearbox. Very helpful unlike most videos like it from other people 👍

[@JackyJacks89]

Thank you and good luck with it when the time comes..

[@Gabasto]

would this be acjhieveable for someone that has only done small jobs like changing my wheel bearings or fitting new springs

[@JackyJacks89]

Yes most definitely..!..I think the most difficult is actually removing it from the car as it is very heavy so make sure to use a trolley jack for assistance when you are at the removal stage..best of luck to you and hope you don't have any problems..

[@nurathilah846]

hi i want to ask, how i can check my volkswagen polo 1.6 gearbox oil without remove it?

[@JackyJacks89]

Hi Nur.. On the side of the gearbox facing toward the radiator there is a filler plug close to the end of the gearbox..you can screw that out and stick your little finger in the hole..if you can feel the oil it is full.. If not you should top it up until the oil starts pouring out the hole..screw the plug back and job done..

[@qaaym]

Is this auto or manual gearbox?

[@JackyJacks89]

5 speed Manual

[@kaimalmros8469]

No need to drain the transmission oil?

[@JackyJacks89]

Hi Kai.. No need to drain it..
