I have done many gearbox changes and clutch replacements - so its a good refresh - but the way you explain it for those who haven't done this is really impressive James - well done

Im in the middle of a rebuild and was trying to figure out how to fit my gearbox. With covid in full swing i couldn't get anyone to help and having a seperated ac shoulder joint meant that i needed to have to do it pretty much one handed. This idea along with the aid of a little ratchet strap made it a piece of piss to do in comparison to the struggle of getting it out whilst the engine was supported by a strap and wooden beam. Cheers for the idea 👍

As I'm writing this I only have to bleed the clutch and put the battery tray and airbox back into the Octavia I've been working on. Sadly couldn't save the gearbox I had myself (ran out of oil and synchros got chewed up), but we put a used unit with fresh seals back in. The 4x4 versions are a nightmare to work on compared to the 2WD ones, especially if it's a TDI. Your videos were of great help though and I wanted to let you know that.

A very nifty alignment tool, it beats the heck out of trying to eyeball the darned thing. Gearboxes always defeated me, yet they are a logical beast managed with care and logic. Well done for your mastering those challenges.
@mrbeancounter903 жыл бұрын
Really impressed you doing all this on your own - Usually gearbox is regarded as "don't open, buy a new one" - Real inspiration for me to have a go on clutch and gears.
@sirobb3 жыл бұрын
Because the gearbox was bone dry when installed, as well as having the car level or slightly tilted forward when filling, you could also have run it through the gears on axle stands to coat everything with gear oil inside the box including the gearbox walls and all the nooks and crannies. That would have allowed the last 200ml to be poured in. Well done on a really excellent series of videos. An absolute ton of work to do then to film and to edit into something entertaining.

@chrishartley12103 жыл бұрын
Great clutch alignment tool, I haven't seen that type before and it is clearly the correct one for that type of clutch/gearbox. If you have to work on a clutch/box which has a pilot bearing in the centre of the flywheel you need an alignment tool which aligns to the pilot bearing (or both bearing and pressure plate). Half a millimetre out between the centre of the clutch plate and the centre of the pressure plate isn't going to make a lot of difference, the gearbox will still go in. Half a millimetre out in the alignment between the clutch plate and the pilot bearing and you are screwed trying to fit the gearbox, it ain't happening.
