The clutch started slipping on the Vivaro so we changed it, but it was a LOT worse than we first thought.
Here is how we did it.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

New a guy who ran a fleet of traffic's vivaros etc. Had various trouble with gearboxes. Finally came across mechanic who had done a lot of work on these vans. He used the same oil in the gearbox as he used for the engine. Never had a problem after that. Changed the oil regularly.

If it worked for them, it worked for them. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone though.

Just to let you know for future, I changed my gearbox on the same van due to the whining issue in 5th and 6th and I managed to do it without removing any front end just dropped the gearbox mount and gave me enough room to get all the bolts out, would save you alot of time

I can do these in and out in about 2.5 hours. No front end off no subframe off and you do it all from the bottom. First jack it up or put it on a ramp, remove wheels and drive shaft nuts and lower BJ's. Unclip sensor wiring and brake hoses so don't get pulled then either jack or tranny stand under the engine undo the 1 16mm nut in the engine bay for the gearbox mount ( the only thing done in engine bay ! ) undo it and lower box down. All bolts can be seen and removed and gear cables and wiring the whole lot all from underneath. Easy. Book time is 10 to 12 hours. Nice job to do when you know the trick. Hope this helps some people

I'm a joiner but I did a gear box first time 8 hours with all front end off the clutch went I did it in 5 hours but I'm not mechanic but as a joiner I was happy with that and saved 500 pluss pound for a mechanic

Wow that was amazing I’ve got a Renault traffic that’s got a clutch problem broke down two days ago waiting for someone to have a look at my clutch now.

Well done 👍🏻 I’ve just replaced all injectors on mine, had to have head off to do it, decided to take engine out, total PITA. Can’t imagine doing box only. My issue is getting a decent bleed on the clutch. CSC are the worst.

for anyone else doing this, to refit the box easier, remover lower most beam...then refit main crash beam ( a couple of bolts will be fine)...then use a scaffolding bar and a bit of chain to lever the box in off the main crash beam....makes life easier

Can remember years ago changing the clutch on my Ford Corsair. My Uncles garage had a pit so access was fine until all the bolts were out and I was crouched in this pit with the gearbox across my shoulders while my mate (?) was up top laughing and saying how are we going to get it out of the pit.

Did you pressure bleed this from the header tank downwards to the bleed nipple? When I did this with an Eezibleed I bled out/wasted at least a litre of fluid trying to get all the air out, but I still don't think it's right because it's difficult to get it into second gear
@LarcsWorkshop
@LarcsWorkshop 4 ай бұрын
Yes I used a pressure bleeder, I dribbled some brake fluid down the plastic pipe to the CSC before I connected it. I don't know if that made any difference? I remember it being a pain to do.

I’m just about to buy a 2007 2L CDTI Vivaro LWB crew bus for £3800 with 156k on the clock, all I’m hearing about the older Vivaro is bad stuff, injectors, gear box and loads of other stuff. I know there’s about 23000 Vivaros on the road in the UK so there’s gonna be a percentage that play up but would you buy another one or has it really been one problem after another! ( I might just buy an older 4x4 the way I’m feeling!) thanks! ( love the videos btw!)
@LarcsWorkshop

Yes, they have gearbox and injector issues, but don't many vans with higher mileage? Especially injector issues, the injectors are the same as any other except they can get rusted in. Gearboxes are maybe more common than some others, but other vans have different issues, like rust etc. There is no definitive answer, sorry. Good luck finding something that suits your needs 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍
