Also needed to make up a small enough clutch alignment peg to fit into the small space. It was hard work though if ur not used to it like me. A day to remove. A day to reassemble.

@WMCS 4 жыл бұрын

SpyHeli sorry for the late response. It definitely needs bleeding out ... If you look on the channel I’ve started showing how to bleed a clutch on the last few videos. 1. Fill reservoir with dot4 clutch fluid. 2.get someone to pump the pedal a few times then hold it down to the floor. 3. Crack open the bleed nipple from the slave cylinder. Tighten bleed nipple back up. 4. Repeat the pump procedure and bleed a few times. The pedal should feel pressure after about two or three times.

Hy, did you drain the gearbox oil before this operation, or is it not needed? I was thinking that oil should have dripped when you removed the drive shafts. Nice work! This method is a lot faster than removing the hole subframe.

:) just done this job today (clutch receiver cilinder exchange) this a one day job for me... Turns out that on 1,6 16v Astra with F17 gearbox you must drain the oil before removing the drive shafts, otherwise you will lose oil. If anyone else is waching this comment, do not do this by yourself, have a helper at least when you refit the gearbox to the engine (I lost 2 hours only remounting the gearbox by myself, and now I have a hole upperbody muscle acke). Thanks for the tutorial man, its priceless.

After watching this I reckon you don't get paid enough! Got mine replaced about a week ago (diagnosed as a slipping clutch), a week later and it's doing the same thing. Mechanic reckons oil has dripped onto the new clutch, after watching this it looks like there would be little chance of oil getting in there!

@WMCS 4 жыл бұрын

Fifury161 on these models. There’s two options of clutches. They both fit but one of them the pressure plate has a slight difference in thickness. Which would cause it to slip under high revs.

@@WMCS yes this is true. I was in service with my car years ago and this happends to me. The first option was 100euro, and is slipping. Then they had to change the clutch again with an 300 euro option. After that all was ok. Thank you for this tutorial. I think i gonna change it again today by myself with my father.
