Alexandru Budescu thanks as always for your continued support.

Were is it u live im in the Wolverhampton area looking for some one to do my clutch on the same car 1.6 petrol

Alpha glad to hear this video will come in handy for you..., always more than one way to skin a cat. ✨✨

На дизельной 1,9 хватит места не ронять рамку? Там кпп 6.

Josh thanks a lot for taking time to leave a feedback. I love hearing DIY mechanic that takes the leap .,, that’s why I made the videos.., good effort.

Thankyou for the great feedback. It means a lot coming from a fellow mechanic (not technician 😁).

Also got called a technician at one point. Did sound good lol

Richard that’s good going .,, is vehicle back on the road now ..,,

@@WMCS Not quite at the moment. Waiting for the clutch kit to arrive (hopefully tomorrow). Then I can start re-assembly.

😁✨🍻🍻🕺🏼

Your way of saying thanks is different. Hey we lucky yo have this man posting videos to show us what he knows. Knowledge sharing on KZfaq with good and safe methods used that's my kinda channel. 👍It helps us who look for the video, I love Knowledge and the benefit of visual learning for my self do wonders for my memory. Reading it and then applying it can be a bit more tricky at times.

Thank you.

Don I really appreciate the support and your feedback.., thank you.

I FORGOT to sub yesterday. I saw your reply and I had to sub after that. Your videos has been helpful to me and my desire to do all the repairs maintenance, and modification. I look forward to when you start yo get the Go pro and harness to film from POV and with professional craftsmanship like yours 🙌 👌 Only thing I had a hard time with was how dark some segments got. The bright lighting would be so amazing and would make your production value moving up the ranking to be on par with your mechanical technician knowledge. Big 🧠

@@WMCS Your most welcome Kevin, it helps to be the best mechanic in the UK. Sun shine, rain or, snow don't even slow you down.

Clutch is 200 trade price

@@derekjust5764 "£200" but then the labour is the expensive part but you make it look so easy lol. 👍👍👍

I’ll definitely take a cold day over a rainy day Matt. I’m sure you know exactly what it’s like to have the constant drip that always seems to land right in the eye. 😁

subutay2011 you’re welcome. Thanks for the support

Do you by any chance know if replacing the clutch your way (without removing the heavy frame underneath) works with an Astra H 1,6 Petrol/5 Speed too? As of what I heard it works with some engine/gearbox combos while it doesn't with others ... Cheers!

Oscar Montero good observation... these gearboxes doesn’t have a drain plug. If the correct level of oil is in there it shouldn’t spill out. It stays down in the gearbox sump. As you’ve pointed out no clutch tool required due to the flywheel design. The clutch sits inside the flywheel and the pressure plate slots in and centres itself with the 3 side slots. Thanks for your continuous input on the videos. I’ll try and come up with a more retro intro for next season. 😁

Mustapha B it’s any simple solvent. But I use brake cleaner mostly as it’s readily available from my local part shop.

carles Girona thanks for the support. It was a bit of a wet day. But not bad enough to stop a day’s work. 😁

Definitely sounds like the pressure plate. I’ve never really had any reasons to remove subframe. The video will guide you. Let us know how you get on.

@@WMCS Fitted the new clutch today, plain sailing except i couldn't prise the clutch fluid pipe off the bellhousing - didn't realise there was a spring clip on it, until i watched your other video on a 2007 1.6 Zafira where you approach it from underneath and the damn clip is clearly visible! Thanks for what you do Kevin, great videos and so generous of you to take the time to make and post them.

Do you miss it. Tell the truth now 😆😁🍺

@@WMCS not one bit lol

Springer spaniel these flywheel takes the clutch without hardly any movements. And the pressure plate slots in. So they are already aligned once they are in place. Good observation...thanks for your input.

Sure they are würth

Exactly the same.

Stephen Allen thanks for the feedback. I get them from Halfords. Worth every penny

@@WMCS thankyou loads Kevin.much appreciated.

Hi Darran..,, on this vehicle model it doesn’t. They are fixed length..,

Hi David .., it’s only brake cleaner .., any solvent will work just as good.

That’s correct. Replacement not required.

To answer myself, I just looked again and it must have just been a tap on the driveshaft as the circlip is way too far in to get at. Thanks for this vid. Am gonna tackle this job myself soon on my Zafira A 1.6. Still going strong at over 180k and 24 years old. Not bad for a car that most people would have scrapped a long time ago.

That’s correct.

Hi Essa.., sometimes if the spot is tight then i finger it in place ..,,✨✨

Check the repair in the next 5 mins.., another example of finger alignment ...

@@patrickhickey8647 young man's game! I'm a little bit older 😀

As long as it’s not turning opposite to the engine rotation

Very unlikely it’ll be the clutch that’s misaligned. There is a plastic lug fixing the top bell housing to the coolant pipe. Most likely that’s in the way of the gearbox mating back .,,

@@WMCS Thank you Kevin, i'm going back to continue, will write on the outcome. Have a goog day.

Hi Kevin, i finally assembled the car. The gear box was not fitting because the disc was not aligned. I didn't buy SACHS, but i bought from autodoc cheaper version - Ridex. The clutch disc is actually 7mm smaller in diameter, hence more movement and misalignment. I positioned in the center and then tighten up the pressure plate bolts. The gear box fitted easy. I had problem removing the air, till i figure out the reservoir has to be full to the top. Unfortunately, the new clutch is slipping in the same way as the old one ... Do you have suggestion what might be the cause? Thank you for your help and willingness to share knowledge and experience.

Hi Kevin, I found my mistake, after engine number 20KC2905 the clutch and slave cylinder are different and i have ordered the wrong one. Now i'm ordering correct kit and this weekend will be clutch exchange again. Thank you again for your video, help and sharing knowledge and experience

Kyle Mclachlan I keep them in the tray. And after the gearbox goes back in i start putting them back slowly.

@@WMCScheers 👍 have you lost any tools in the past ?

Kyle Mclachlan maybe back in the day ... but all tools are accounted for at the end of each repair. They are all in Slotted trays so it’s easy to spot any missing ones.

Yes exactly the same way.

Brake cleaner.

Divierteknia weather was not great. But repair was successful.... thanks for the support.

Definitely.,, I’ve done it many times. Especially with the M32 box. All you need to do is slacken the opposite subframe and you’ll have enough room to pull it out.

@@WMCS do you mean slacken the rear of the subframe? ill be doing it on an astra H ? thanks for your vids, there very helpful.

Remove gearbox side completely. Then slacken the driver’s side about halfway out. What’s the engine size of your vehicle.

@@WMCS 1.6

you tube thanks for the review. Much appreciated. This jack I’ve been using for about 5 years now it’s a 3 tonne sealey pro. So are all of my tools. Don’t cost the earth but keeps going. They sell for about £90 with trade discount from euro car parts. I try and keep my work professional. Always tidy. Not a drop of oil on driveway. You’re right you can’t see that in the video. If I’m taking someone’s hard earned cash I make sure that they get a good service in return including being polite.

@@WMCS I've had my Sealey pro jack for 25 years now mate. I've not had to change the seals yet great jack. Tony DIY mechanic.

tony n honestly that jack has been through both world wars 🤣😂😂.., still going strong. It’s a proper lump of metal tho ..,

@@WMCS you should do a tool box tour! always interested in seeing what tools people have / use, some times reminds me of an item i need to pick up my self haha

you tube I’ll try and do a small tour this weekend

jim spiers very easy and very straight forward. What river is your one.
