You did one big mistake . All that grease is going to find its way to the clutch plate facings and the fine dust produced during use is going to stick to the grease and results in a sticky messy lump. Only graphite powder should be used on the splines of the shaft of the gearbox.Apart from this , it is a very good video.

Be sure to tighten the flywheel screws correctly,and to reinstall it the same way it came,to be sure the top dead center teeth around the flywheel are positionned correctly. Adjust the clutch cable tension if you have one once finished,so the clutch doesn't slip or operate correctly. Have a smooth work : )

I still have a Renault Twingo D7F engine, 1998 ~285K km. The clutch haven´t needed intervention, yet. But I do recognize the bearing is getting noisier by the day. By far the best "dirty cheap" car I´ve ever had. Lack a ton of modern features, but it´s extremely reliable and always deliver. I drive across Europe from time to time. About 7 countries, 3000 km to each side (6000 km total). Although the sound proofing, power, amenities, etc. as nothing to do with my other cars, particularly the Mercedes. The fact is you put gas and it takes you where you want to go, every time. ;-)

Bert Cochran - +1 on that. It's so much trouble to get to the clutch that a little more work and the main seal can be easily done at the same time. Same on the timing side, always change seal when doing the timing. Most kits have a water pump, better had the seal. In both cases is better and easier to do now than come back later and do it all over again...:-) But this is a really nice video on a clutch fix. ;-)

I am using Part Number KF605-02 I purchased from O'Reilly's Auto Parts in Santa Rosa California. It is for a 1989 Mercury Tracer, 1.6L non-turbo. The original clutch that I removed had 6 springs on the clutch the new one has only 4. The original pressure place I removed has many little "fingers" on the diaphragm spring, the new one has less. When comparing the two clutch assemblies side by side they appear to have the same dimensions - Throw out bearing, clutch disc, and pressure plate. But when I mount the pressure plate and torque the bolts to 20 ft. Lbs the CENTER of the Diaphragm Spring gets sucked in totally flat towards the engine away from the throw out bearing, it does not protrude outwards towards the trow out bearing at all! It is not a hydraulic clutch. When I mount the bell to the engine and connect the clutch cable properly I do not have any tension at all on the clutch pedal. It feels exactly like when it is not hooked up at all. It goes straight to the floor with very little resistance and sticks there until I use my hand to pull back it up. I did that 3 separate times wit the same result. When I mount the old pressure plate and tighten it down, the many diaphragm springs do not go flat, they still protrude towards the throw out bearing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE NEW CLUTCH ASSEMBLY #KF605-02 ?? After the person at O'Reilly's looked online at other part stores and crossed referenced then they said there is actually tow parts numbers for a 1989 Mercury Tracer 1.6L non-turbo. There are a KF605-02 and a KF605-01. He said they sell mostly the KF605-02. Is one a diaphragm type on the other a coil spring type pressure plate? Hopefully I will not have to go with a different brand.

The car drives like new now, it has abt 225,000 kms so it was time to change because it started slipping. I jst need to figure out abt th gears.

Bro I can't hold to myself he much you helped me, I like fixing things myself but this was a huge task, I'm jst 24yrs nursing student.

Would have been much easier to have left the gearbox and drive shafts in situ and lifted out the engine, you may not even have had to remove the rad, Some of the repair manuals tell you that's the way to do it, only because they have nt tried it anyother way, And for the Guy with the Astra , engine up is far easier, "been there done it"
@michaelovitch9 жыл бұрын
Kilhamjim It's an other technique,i'm sure it works good too. But on a recent car you have ten bililons sensors to unplug,and it would be quicker to just make room to remove the gearbox,specially when you have no axles going inside it,but just clipped to it. At the end, one of the two have to go outside the engine bay if there is not enough room : )

That clutch was not worn down to the rivets.But it looked like it had been slipping on the pressure plate.On older Renaults you have to slacken the cable as the friction disc wears to maintain the free-play and allow it to be fully engaged.I suspect the problem was lack of free-play unless ,as happens, some bad driver had been riding the clutch pedal.
@michaelovitch5 жыл бұрын
It's a self adjusting clutch mechanism here,so you can't adjust parts. You just can change the clutch or cable. It had 170 000 kms and was original ,from 1990,and started to be difficult to use.

Most excellent to see how to replace clutch plate and bearing on front wheel drive. What amount of time do you as an expert on average how many hours from start to finish?? I know if try myself to do will be much more but the video here has created much confidence to consider changing myself. Thank you greatly!!!!!!!!
@michaelovitch4 жыл бұрын
From two hours to half a big day,depends of the car,if you have to drop the subframe or not. I would say four hours is an average.

Thanks for the excellent video. My son's just bought a Toyota Caldina GT-T and it needs a new clutch release bearing. I doubt there's enough space to slide the gearbox away enough.
@michaelovitch7 жыл бұрын
Thank you : ) Three possible ways : -the gearbox is pushed on the side,like here -the gearbox is removed by under: you may need to remove a part of the subframe,wich is normal,and often easy,because made for. -the gearox is removed by above,you have to think it's lifted by hand or ,way better,a device like a crane. The best is to check the shop manual to see how it's supposed to be done,but remember you can very often cheat,like me.

@@michaelovitch what is the grease you used for the transmission? I am putting the transmission back together again. I got something called assembly goo but I dont know if I can use it.
@michaelovitch5 жыл бұрын
You can buy the grease specific for this job (thorow out bearing grease),or a molybden or graphite grease,wich is very sticky and last long without evaporating. Don't use as much as there,it was way too much,the excess was removed on the fork pivot,and the shaft. Think about the bearing at the middle of the flywheel ,it's a good oportunity to replace it if there is one,like the cranck shaft seal behind the flywheel. : )
@mikalvanger68956 жыл бұрын

@hea58435 жыл бұрын
Sir, thanks for the video. But it is highly advised that you do not use so much grease where you applied it ESPECIALLY on the input shaft and throwout bearing! As they spin, they may throw out the excess grease between the flywheel, friction disk, and/or pressure plate, which will cause clutch slipping. Use very little, just a thin film. And the grease is advised to be high temperature tolerant. Regards.
