Having only brake discs and pads under my belt, I have just successfully replaced the clutch on my Mini Cooper 2005 R50…all thanks to your superb video….Thank You!

I remember the first one of these we ever did. We joked we'd have to take the seats out next to get to it 😅

Great video very informative. There must be a lot of editing to do and you get the camera angles really well. You clearly know exactly what you are doing. Well done, and thanks for sharing .

This video push me to change the dead gearbox of my old r50 mini cooper by my own! i have done it and i must say that it was hard but you really gave me more than help with that great video! You are really generous to share all your tips for winning time !

Having done a couple of these recently on both the Midlands and Getrag boxes, I can say that my life was made much easier having watched Kevin's videos. Cheers Kevin!

Excellent job. Very thorough.

Very good video and it has just encouraged me to subscribe to your channel/account now. You are incredibly fast and you do such a great job. No talking, no background music, just total business and getting the job done. Am-----azi-----ng am-----azi-----ng am-----azi-----ng. Kudos to you.

What a nightmare of a job you make it look so easy how do you remember all the different cars procedures brilliant vid as always

An indication of a good motor tech. A difficult job done calmly,efficiently and made look easy. Hats off to you. The Milwaukee gun is a good bit of kit too. I find it Every bit as good as the snap on equivalent.

GREAT JOB !!! WOW, a lot of work just for that !!!

Anyone that can do all that is the real deal excellent job

What a pleasant natured young man.

Done my daughters the other month but you made it look easy. Haha. Spot on job and great vid.

Bravo belle démonstration belle vidéo

Good job mate.... It's difficult this car!

Wow, BMW really didn't make that easy to get to did they! Great walk through thanks

This guy is a genius, totally dismantled car, not for the faint hearted

that's a hell of a job, need to empty coolant and ac as well, must be expensive

Great video well done, it should not have to be this difficult to replace a wear part, it was a 20 minute job on a mark 2 cavalier.

Great video, you made that look easy although I know mini didn't make it easy for you to work on.

I did one of theses clutches today and it wont clear fear after . Slave cylinder looks fine . Was line up properly going pull it out tomorrow. You wouldn't have an idea what wrong wrong you . Clutch pedal feel fine full movement no play

You sir inspire me !

Must be hard on the body dirty job someone got to do it total respect.

I love your videos and watch with so much interest, I have got to do a clutch on a friends Corsa B Combo van and just bought a 3 piece Transmech clutch for it brand new from ECP and am not kidding you with the discount code it cost me £10.88 i know it's not the best clutch in the world but the van has done over 230k miles and the lad only drives too and from work every day it doesn't carry any loads in the back, it has the 1.7 Isuzu engine in it and he loves it, with it being an old van i am just going to lift the engine part way out rather than splitting rusty ball joint bolts, exhaust has been replaced so no rusty problems thereand the rest is just fuel lines and wires so be easier.

that was beautiful to watch exellent

super boulot

Big job on a mini clutch no problem re gass on air conditioning if they are watching from Window are mine is in bits lol wtf I bet the main dealer charge for that job nice job and camera work

Holy hell, quite the job!

great walkthrough i'm halfway into mine just the rebuild to go whats tha cleaner you use it works brilliant ?

Bugger me remind me never to buy a mini what night mare to get at hats off to ya mate for taking that on .

Thanks for the step by step on what needs to be removed. I see that you removed the rad. hoses , but did you drain the radiator first?

Un máquina el colega

Great video

Great video as always Kev but them tyres were cut slicks 😂

I think i feel confident in doing my sons mini change put the rear main seal i just need to buy an electric impact or use my dads old hydraulic one

İ like your work buddy!

What is the liquid you use to clean the parts with? That looks like the stuff to use right there.

I’m assuming you regased the air con afterwards.. and then front tyres looked dodgy.

Bon courage mon amé

Have you ever done a clutch of the Alfa Romeo 166 V6 manual 6speed?

William how do you remember how reassemble all this makes of vehicles?

cunto cuesta el cambio de clutch y donde lo tengo ke yebar

Great video, good to see you recording every step even the smallest of things. I'm currently replacing my gearbox (getrag) on the same mini just wondered if you had any advice on which clutch/bearing kit I should get? Cheers

This is your better video 👍👍👍👍👍

Kevin ive watched a lot of your vids, how the fook can you do the clutches on SO MANY different makes of cars!?! what happens when you come across a car that youve never worked on before? very impressive!

Beast mode!!!!

top man!

Kevin Albert Greetings from California I have a 2008 mini for my daughter but the automatic transmission don’t switch the gears you think I need to replace the transmission or it could be something else?

Hi - Not sure which clutch kit to buy as there is a 17 and an 18 tooth version available for the R50.

Do like your videos good job on the floor although releasing the air con pipe and letting it escape in the air like that is dangerous for us and the atmosphere

Great video, I'm doing my miss mini follow you step by step, could you please tell me what's the red past you are using in the bolts thread, this is some kind of locking nut or grease? Sorry if you find this a stupid question. Many thanks

Another great job done! One question though, do you not worry about filming the cracking off of the air con? I see it looks pretty much drained, but always worry some council twat will be watching somewhere and throw a hefty fine your way? Also, whenever you decide to move down to Devon way, there is a job and a ramp waiting for ya ;)

That reminds me never to buy a mini ..

Hi pls ignore my last comment on another video. Just seen which way round the clutch goes. Is there any other reason are car won’t go into gear after changing clutch? I didn’t open an hydraulic lines. Was slipping super bad before but still going into gears. I’m assuming I just need to bite the bullet and take the box back out

Brilliant video! Very informative, have you done a diesel mini? If so where can I find the video?

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered. What size socket do you use for the hub nuts?

How much is a 2005 cooper clutch replacement cost nowadays

Amigo creo que aquí en Europa abrir un circuito de aire acondicionado a la atmósfera es un delito medioambiental eso hay que descargarlo aún recipiente cerrando con una maquina no asi

Nissan micra k12 video??

What brand of gloves do you use are very good I don’t see you don’t change

Very good video but how do you bleed the clutch with the cylinder fitted 🤔

Nothing on a mini is nice to work on,Top job..

Hi Kevin, where are you situated? Can you give me a ballpark figure of the cost of replacing pilot bearing, clutch and pressure plate? This is for 2004 mini cooper, 1.6 petrol. Thanjah bobby

Always pays to have the right tools

Good to watch a grafter.

what type of clutch kit do you use and where is best to get it

may I ask where did you get your floor matting by the way super videos

Which would you say is harder the r53 or R56 you did🤔 great content as always👌

looks like it is possible also without removing the radiators..

Why did not you get out the rear sub frame? Than maybe you dont have to degass the clima.

I forgot. I have 2006 MINI. It’s crazy

Man that’s a lot of crap to go through for gearbox removal. Good job though!

👍😎💪

What sort of price do You charge for a mini clutch replacement ?

I changed the clutch on my mini and now the gear shifting won’t work. What do you recommend I do?

but how does he know where to replace all the screws he removed ?! Otherwise always so sexy to watch ...

I knocked my bumper off in an accident so we should save some time here 🥰

Doing a clutch on a mini there a headache

does ac system has to be empty?

Is it mainly clutches you do?

Your an able lad Kevin, that's from an old school Panel Beater. That's a bitch of a car to do; you've great patience as well as great ability. Power to you mate. What make is your clutch alignment tool you usually use? :)

You know your cars are their any cars that you don’t like working on

An excellent reason not to own a Mini 😒

Picking up the friction disc with oily gloves 👎🏼
