Bloody freaking legend 👏 full sending never lifting 😏 🤙 mobbin deep 🙌 your videography and getting all the angle/hard shots is legendary definitely stepped up your game. Like a surgeon you can tell by the way he operates he's efficient at his craft

[@Djm9393]

definitely keep doing that bro makes the videos way better in my personal opinion you get to see the process as a whole have a good wk bro @@WMCS

[@mrjuergensie]

fantastic episode. I've been a clutch junkie ever since I discovered your channel 😊. I'll leave you a subscription.

[@WMCS]

Thank you. Really appreciate your support for the channel. 🍻

[@erwindrenth7091]

Much respect for your work. I do (most) maintenance and repair on my cars myself. Changing a clutch is not my favorite job. Just happened to have a few in a row. My Renault trafic i even had to do twice because i got carried away with sticking te gearbox back in and crashing the new friction plate... My father's Fiat Ducato camper went ok but took a long time and lots of swearing to get the gearbox fully back to the engine (as hard as it was to get it out..) Luckily my 2005 Ford Transit went fairly smooth, together with a gearbox swap, and it's just back on the road. Took me quite more than a day's work though... But did it in style, on the driveway in the rain. And i use a jack to lift the box in and out (i'm just not that strong ) I really enjoy your content though and admire how you tackle al these different cars with their different design quirks. I myself prefer car bodywork (maybe that's why i bought that Ford Transit..)

[@WMCS]

You’re right. Ford has kept things fairly simplified. Even the new ones. A dream to work on.. Hats off to you for tackling the Ducato. I’d rate it as semi advanced level… Now you’ve got quite a bit of experience in the rain you are ready to take it on the road. Let me know 😁🍻🍻🍻

[@yamaha37776]

I really appreciate the time you take to support the car in the air. When I see clowns under a car with just a jack I just shake my head.

[@WMCS]

Setting up and safety checks takes me about 40mins-1hr before I get under any vehicle… can’t afford to mess that part up

[@sesjeezoteryczno-regresyjne]

Huge respect to You and your job. I`ve been working as a mechanic but never in this sort of enviroment. Level hard in terms of weather, water, cold, wind and fitness. Good luck and all the best to You.

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback. It means a lot coming from a fellow mechanic.

[@markahad6583]

Another fantastic episode! As I am watching this from Canada 🇨🇦, and being a retired mechanic, I came to realize that the UK has a greater percentage of manual transmission/drivers. The present trend here is that manual will be a thing of the past. Things were different back in the day. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@WMCS]

Several people also mentioned in the states not much manual cars … why do you think that is .. a lot of people won’t touch autos with a barge pole here ..

[@bobgorman9481]

Regarding the winter weather, do you prefer very cold but dry , or , mild but wet ?

[@markahad6583]

My thoughts are the general population in North America are somehow ‘conditioned’ to just jam it in ‘D’ for Duh! Lol. Easier when commuting long distance in stop and go traffic. I have also noticed that these drivers don’t bother to engage the parking brake. And consequently resulting in seized cables and the mechanisms. I have had the pleasure of replacing many, many due to lack of use. Sorry about the long reply. I just wanted to share. Cheers!

[@matthewhaddon599]

Not sure I'd go back to a manual after having several automatic cars in a row.

[@isidroaguirrebengoa1811]

It's a delight to see you work. You make the difficult look easy. What admires me most is the ease with which you place the boxes. In the Volkswagwen Golf you pick up the box at time 2:18:23 and in 30 seconds, at 2:18:53 you were already screwing. Incredible, it takes me longer to put the eggs in the refrigerator. And your skills as a filmmaker are not negligible. Greetings from the Basque country

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated. Excuse my geography. Is Basque Country a separate entity from Spain ..?

[@isidroaguirrebengoa1811]

@@WMCS The Basque Country belongs to the Spanish State, it is an autonomy of the Spanish State but unlike the rest of the autonomies it has its own Treasury. That is, it collects its taxes and pays the State for unmanaged powers, such as the army, etc. It is very nice, if you have the chance, see it. San Sabatian, in the local language it is called Donostia, is possibly the most beautiful city in Europe and is where there are the most Michelin stars. If you come, I would love to be your guide.

[@panoramix3192]

You are a legend. Not only the job is hard but you do it in cold, heat, wet or dry. Furthermore, you document everything perfectly and are capable of putting together a great video. This is so hard on the body. You are built differently it seems. God bless you :)

[@thewholls7176]

Good job mate, I like the way you don’t get flustered you’re basically like a machine and if something happens you just keep going and keep going and keep going and then it rains so you keep going then it gets cold you keep going you’re like a bloody machine. Good on you mate

I hate the rainning. I was repairing my Audi A3 2002 few weeks ago and the rain got into my tools. I needed to clean one by one so they don't get rust. This year has been very wet.

[@maxthecaddy8451]

got to love the VAG make, cars and vans so very similar to work on but some not so easy, and yet you still make them all look very easy to work on Kevin . 👍✨🎄🎄✨

[@WMCS]

If they were all just well engineered.. still my favourite by far … Van was nice and straightforward .. again not bad at all In comparison to Vauxhall who is literally now a French car with a different badge

[@rogereivissa673]

Thank you for your videos, I do appreciate to time and effort that you put on making them. I was able to change the clutch from my vw polo a while ago. I went step by step and thanks to your video I managed to replace it. Soon I will need to change the clutch and dual mass flywheel from my 2003 Mitsubishi Pajero and I was wondering if you have made a video of it if you have done any. Thank you again and greetings from Spain.

[@Poging2]

First watching and im really amazed. Working outside and with such a neat routine. You are a awesome mechanic! Also amazed that red van was worth the repair, I know its a work van but holy sh*t that poor thing is rough. Paint falling off everywhere, some proper racing slicks for tyres and she looks just sad. If a guy were to show up in a van like that, probably backside full of junk and loose tools everywhere Id send him home

[@WMCS]

Don’t say that. Not everyone can afford to roll in a new van. The owner is a builder and great tradesman. Top class at that I may add. That’s his workhorse. It’s not great to assume negatively by appearance.

[@Poging2]

@@WMCS I do agree with you, but on the same hand appearances do matter to some extend. Your van is tidy and organised and that reflects your work. You work well organised and take pride in your work. Paint doesn’t make them run ofcourse, but it just seems someone has been really careless with the poor old van. Paint missing everywhere, underside being all dented. Though I am absolutely and totally wrong for assuming thats the current owners fault, maybe he bought the van like this. You are right about that and I do apologise for saying what I said before. But leaking oil and those tyres being worn down to the structure are on the current owner. Again this is me making a assumption, but that tyre should have been replaced long ago. He could be in a serious accident or hurt someone if it blows out or in bad weather if he slips. Didn’t mean to upside anyone, its not like I have money or a brand new car. Mine’s a 2005 that’s definitely seen better days. But I do keep her tidy and maintained as well as I can

[@oscarmontero5724]

Well done! Funny how things, as easy as the Peugeot, get complicated by a faulty plastic slave cylinder. At least, the repair set includes it, not as the Golf, I assume. I am still wondering why the Astra has a big and heavy gearbox and the Vivaro a "normal" one. Given the sizes, it should be the contrary. Thanks for the video!

[@WMCS]

After learning the hard way one too many times. I always replace these external slaves now. Otherwise they fail with the new pressure plates within months.

[@LAMECCANICA-channel]

Super Kevin 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇮🇹

[@TM-tz1nx]

👍👍👍!!!

[@AdrisHussain]

what a mechanic!! love the get the job done vibe I'm getting. 2:19:56 what part were you servicing and what are you actually doing to it?

[@WMCS]

It’s a slave cylinder. Just priming it out so bleeding required. Just renewing it.

[@rafallorek8251]

Put a caravanning awning (such as Thule Omnistor) to the bus . You will unfold it very quickly and it will not rain on you .

[@WMCS]

Might look into it. 🍻

[@fabiang6095]

Hi Kevin, great job! I could not move because of my hurting bones after such work, on the street. I have a question, Opel Vivaro/Renault Trafic/ Nissan Primastar, do you know the half automatic/Easytronic/ Gearbox Robot? Would you change the clutch also, or would you decline it? Best regards, Fabian

[@WMCS]

Hey Fabian. I would decline it. Purely because you’d need the procedure to relearn the gear sequence. And it’s just too much hassle for me personally.

Great video as also my good man, i can only imagine how many other viewers like myself press the "thumbs up" before the video actually begins.....At 1:30 & 1:45....what to do zig zag lines on the road mean? Question, obviously being in the US i could never hire you for anything, but is the any other way we could help support you? Be careful and stay safe bud!

[@WMCS]

Thank you for the feedback.. zig zag lines as far as I’m aware mean’s approaching and exiting of a pedestrian crossing. So strictly no overtaking when you see it .. Thankyou .. I suppose superthanks in KZbin or clicking the link to PayPal. Thank you and god bless 🎄🍻🍻

[@destrxctivex]

I also have an Astra 1.4t and I don't understand why GM designed the engine with a dual mass flywheel for a 1.4l petrol.

[@WMCS]

Honestly … I’m baffled. Most obvious reasoning is the cost to sell parts

[@colinblythe3710]

You can get a solid flywheel conversion kit from LUK for some cars - if yours ever goes wrong Vauxhalls used to have a plate on the bottom of the gearbox to change the clutch through in the late 80s early 90s you could change a clutch in 20 mins - WHY they ever changed to the stupit internal slave & DM flywheel is beyond me - unless it was to charge more MONEY in labour !! back in the day you could do a full service clutch & new camshaft in a day & car back out - now it would be in 2 weeks !!!
