One of most informative I've ever seen. So good

Put some fresh lining on the clutch plate and had the pressure plate resurfaced , but then couldnt shift into gear afterwards...... The guy at the machine shop recommended adding the shim washers so the release bearing can travel a bit further to release the clutch and get gears...... I will try this before finally deciding to buy a new kit..... Thanks for reassuring that this might actually work lol

Is the bearing backwards. I am looking at two axles from a 68 and both are ball bearing side out.

You on thesamba

Looks like that ball doesn't sit fully inside the crevice properly. Mine does. Appears to question whether that main rod or the gearshift actuator plate on the gearbox or the socket holder plate on the side you didn't change is/are actually the right parts for your model? Either that or that ball is pushed too far on? Might wear prematurely (again?).

wish engine is that i love this car and i like too golf 2 gti 8v

I’m having trouble with this on my 93 eurovan or t4 as you guys call it. That rubber looking circle thing on the opposite side of the metal one that you replaced, does that attach to the motor/transmission there or does that float free? Only gears I have right now are 3 and 4. I can’t figure out what that other side does

"Ideally, you wouldnt be working on a box this dirty" *me, watching this video, learning on a gearbox with 4mm of rear main leak and 20 years of rat shit all over it* "Hmmm, yes, it shouldn't be dirtier than that one"

Sorry which gearbox was this on - manual or auto? Cheers

What limiter and ecu setup?

Great video. I like to connect the flex line to the caliper first, then to the hard line at the bracket. The threaded nipple of the hard line can spin around freely. You don't need to spin the caliper onto the flex line, that just seems counter-intuitive. EDIT: nevermind, I finished watching the video and see that you've mentioned that you've changed your mind on this process to do it the other way around. Cheers.

A Taiwanese Technician makes Metal Version. No more replacement then❤

very cool ! What diff you are running ?

Interesting....are the bearings on the differential and the axles replacements? The integral seals in the ball bearing units may have to be removed on the diff bearings and at least the inside of the axle bearings I would think.

Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share you are a blessing.

Well that was educating NOT

4 years after this video was posted. I did this job and followed your vid step by step. Thank you. I had no problems everything went smooth.

Great work and video

Nice job sir……

Thanks for this, I was however really hoping you were replacing the smaller ball and socket, mine perished and same as you with loss of gears, but no matter what contraption I came up with, I could not get the small ball into the new sleeve\socket. In total I’ve spent 9 hours and still no success, it is however going into each gear as desired, but I’m worried it will soon pop out. I even reamed out the opening of said socket, i warmed it up, i rigged up a pulley vice to compress the parts , I used silicone grease etc. I did wonder about piercing the back end of the socket to maybe allow the vacuum to not resist the small ball. Flummoxed..

Hi. CanBus or serial comunication?..... gear display or afr can be displayed? Tks

Can you make a video of removing the axle bearing housing off the Axle tube? There are no videos of this anywhere

You should reach out to Marco Mansi. He used to race his WBX powered bug while he was in England (now in USA). He'll surely be able to tell you what clutch is best, his had way more power and was running high 10's at 130mph over 15 yrs ago.

Great video! I find that one of the "Handiest" tools for working on my bug are rummer gloves! Oil, oil, and more oil!

Maybe some grease

Are you still running this clutch disk? How did you like it?

Phenomenal video! I’m in the process of replacing the rear bearings on a 66 VW beetle and this helps immensely 👍🏼 thank you sir!

Damn thing sounds good. Almost like a Subie! Kinda makes me wanna swap one of these motors in my Cavalier.

Amazing video. Thank you very much.

Hi! Where did you buy your repair kit? I bought a kit but the ball in my kit is simply impossible to slide on. I´ve even used a crowbar but it simply won´t work.

Hello mate does the big ball just sit like yours there not right in the middle ?? About to do both sizes and the cup I have the whole linkage off atm cheers The scouse biker

WOW who would have thought that something from China is rubbish. 😂

G'day, Another awesome video. I to own a 63 beetle. Not in your league though. My Betsie has roughly 130hp atw. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Yes very loud. ✌️

G'day, I've just stumbled across your channel and i realise I'm a few years behind but I'm all for filming everything you can. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

I had the same clutch plate clearance issue on a 215mm setup. Had me scratching my head as it was ok on the one it replaced, same brand and everything. Fingers crossed your new one will hold up.

Very Cool!!! Keep up the good work! How many PSI are you running?

What windows version you using?

Good video. Thanks, when adjusting my handbrake recently I found my rear brake shoes were disintegrating. The old O rings and axle seals were worn and some shims had gone missing. Oil had gotten on the brake shoes and made a mess of them. I saved your video in case I have to do any further work down the track. My bearings are okay for now. Probably my fault. I put new shoes and 5 x 130 stud pattern drums when I restored my car. I am good at panel and paint work, however I have to learn the mechanics as I go. Your instruction is great for the beetle enthusiasts out there. New seal kit and bushings in, I will button up with the new shoes tomorrow.

There is a problem though im case of a street car the sensor heater might have trouble getting the sensor up to operating temp. I had those issues with sensors at the end of the exhaust.

Very nice beautiful sharing 👍👌 stay blessed stay connected dear please

Dials for me.

Thanks a lot for the video! Very well made and shows skills and also the little struggling with the circlip that I loved, as I often ask myself if it's only me battling with those guys

Fame at last

Are the axle nuts left or right hand threads

What was that rag or paper towel in there when you removed the housing?

I appreciate you sharing, thanks for your helpful efforts.

Curious where you got the extender? I can’t seem to find it.

Thanks buddy. Just tackling this now and its good to see how/where everything fits. Top job.
