I’ve been in this trade for 40 years replacing maybe a thousand clutches in that time . Doing some on my back but mostly used a ramp . Totally respect to you doing them on cold damp wet surfaces laying down and kneeling that’s hard work really takes it toll on your body over time. You certainly have my respect Kevin.

@garryhammond76163 жыл бұрын
Staggering! 40+ years in the trade here and I can't imagine a more difficult way to earn a living. Just the thought of climbing under the car with a 13mm spanner only to find it's 12mm - so you have to climb back out and back in again - would drive me insane! You will never be short of work that's for sure, I guess your overheads are low in comparison to a workshop, but boy you have picked a challenging job. I take my hat off to you.

Great job my friend! I have done a lot of things to my X-type, but never did such complicated ones. This video is twice as respectable, because the clutch was replaced in a winter cold weather and everything was taken on the camera. Special respect to your cameraman! Ages ago, when I was younger and more ambitious, I also changed a clutch on a FWD car in winter frost, but that car was far less sophisticated than a Jaguar. I was keeping the fire burning during two or three days, while I was removing and installing the clutch. You reminded me of my best times! Pardon my comment, I don't want to somehow offend you, but the only thing I would do in a different manner in your video, I wouldn't press on the suspension arm so bravely so that to prevent the arm bush from leakage (it contains fluid). I would first lower the subframe, since you had to lower it anyway. But you managed to avoid this trouble, that's why it doesn't matter much in your case.

@@WMCS I didn't want to cut into the car so I looked online. I found on a Jaguar forum a guy who had got a long 21mm ring spanner and bent it into shape. The idea is you slot the spanner up through the hole that's behind the 2 13mm on the support bracket to the subframe and guide it onto the captive nut if that makes sense. So I fashioned one myself with great effort lol 😂 got there in the end, not as good as the guys from the forum site but it worked. With a bit off fiddling around manage to get it on the captive nut and bobs your uncle. I intend to keep the Jag for a while and I want to keep the maintenance up it.

Noticed you cutting the centre out of the Insignia dmf the other day. I had the Vectra 150 F40 equivalent. Bought it as a cheap conked box with 20k plus miles and a rattling dmf. Previous owner drove it for 30k with the dmf clanking like a mixer and it did not grenade. When I changed it I could see why. No idea where the dmf springs had disappeared to, but what was left was metal sliding against metal ( hadn’t seized like that Insignia.) From memory I dropped one side of the subframe. Can’t recall if you left the box on the rail. Will go back for a look.
