Just a tip from working at a VW/Audi tech, just helpful information to you or others. Any connectors, push them together first, press on the release clip, then pull apart. This will help A TON of people who are having problems with getting connectors apart. Your not doing anything wrong, just a tip to share! Great video! Oh, and a good set of short and long picks are some of the most useful tools I had.

This applies to so many connectors. Push them in to relieve any tension that might be making it difficult to release the clip. It's the first thing I do before going full 200 pound gorilla and breaking something.

The "leather punch" that Jay has is actually called an Awl. A punch usually removes a bit of material rather than just pierce it. This has been your leather working lesson of the day. :)

I always remember an awl because that's how braille was invented. Caused him to lose his eye and also used the awl I think to make the bumps

I've watched a lot of Reality videos. If you make one from a long nail wrapped with strips of bed sheet as a handle, then it's called a PigSticker. But if it's made from any flat sharp object, then it's called a shank. Thank you, kiddies. Next time, i will teach you awl how to make wine in the toilet. 🎼It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.🎵

I have these paddles on my M2. Worth mentioning that you can dampen the sound a bit by opening the housing and adding tape/foam/etc behind the magnet if the sound is too pingy for your liking. I don't mind it but my passengers always ask what that loud clacking sound is when I shift. Also they have aluminum paddle option if you don't want carbon fiber.
@aserta
@aserta Жыл бұрын
The aluminium one is the best for two reasons. CF damages over time: sun, oil from your hands etc. And secondly because the aluminium ones cool down, so on a hot sunny day, you'll have less chance of burnt fingers.
@rustler08
@rustler08 Жыл бұрын
@@aserta You do realize that CF stays waaaay cooler than aluminum, right? If you've ever had a carbon fiber exhaust before on a motorcycle, you know that it's one of the massive benefits of using one: they really don't get that hot. Aluminum cools off quickly, but so does CF while also just never getting all that hot to begin with. But, you are correct about damage because of UV.

I really appreciate that you showed what depressing the spring did instead of just saying “depress the spring” at 7:35 . The way my brain works, I can create a visual in my head of exactly what I’m doing if I run into an issue. Thanks for the different type of video! My example of a similar situation is that installing a car stereo once, instructions said to remove a connector for the 4-way flasher switch, but didn’t mention that it had a clip like the orange one you showed on the yellow connector. Did the install on hard mode with the switch flipped back. FF a few years, new stereo, new instructions “pull out the clip”. Fuuuuuu😖 Edit: clarity, autocorrect

I was replacing a broken paddle shifter so this had to be done and it’s also a huge upgrade over the stock versions.
