@kevin-albert williams - just helped a mate change his clutch in a 207 1.6 hdi, now it seems when tying to go through the gears that 5th will go into it but because nearly imposible to come out of, can wiggle it about and get it back to netural, any ideas?
Hiya ... sorry for the delayed response. 1.Is it going into gears and out with the engine switched off. 2. Does it perform ok in all the other gears. 3. Is the gear linkage attachments clear of anything that may have got in the way. 4. Are the linkage attachments correctly attached. Very unlikely to be the pressure plate or clutch system.
@@WMCS all other gear 1-4 and reverse ok even when cars not started. i removed the linkages for him to check if anything got accidently bent or the ends were damaged when popping them on, all seemed ok. seems when hes driving the car he said the car is normal going in and out of 5th, just when the engine is of that it wont pop out of 5th very easy, because 5th works normal when driving i have no idea now if the problem was already there before hand
you tube it’s clearly nothing to do with the clutch or your repair. If engine is switched off and it doesn’t move easily out of 5th it’s the gear stick ball swivel that’s worn. Pull the gear stick gaiter and give it a bit of WD40...

Good job However the gearbox should be supported as it's withdrawn. Don't let it hang on the input shaft, otherwise the input shaft nose seal tube can split.

The wheel nuts should always be re-checked once the wheels are back on the ground using a socket on a bar preferably a torque wrench you cannot rely always on an impact gun because you can never be sure its truly fully tightened on a battery powered gun or the charge the gun is tightening at Rob
Hi Rush. I was trying to point out the sleeve on the back of the clutch plate slots directly into the centre part of the flywheel. Eliminating the need to align the clutch.

Great video, why do car manufacturers make cars where you cannot remove the gearbox completely, so difficult to get access and clean properly, well done sir
It's because it's a ground wheel drive with the gearbox being transverse. If it was rear wheeled it woukd have been a bit more easier to remove .
Nice job 👍👌👌 ,hellooo from Serbia ,you are number one bravo
Thanks for the support and big hello to Serbia 🇷🇸
The Ninja mechanic ...Great video !!
Always good job my friend !!! De la part d un ami français 😛😛😛
Now i see why it costs so much to replace a clutch on a trans engine... not a job i could do, well done bud ,now i know who to call.
Does this type not need to center the disc?
I took it upon myself to work, and the video helped me a lot. Oil under the axle shaft, what is that oil made of?
?
The release Bearing is often broken, because the People let the foot on the Clutchpedal while driving. I see it a lot in your Videos.
Yes very true.
Very good job! Wish the master cylinder was what easy accessible on the left hand drive 75/ZT, it’s a right pig to get to🙈
I thought, 'hmm, I wonder if I could change the clutch myself...' now I'm thinking 'maybe not'.
Do you always need to drain the transmission oil or can you do the job without draining the oil
Always drain. As when you pull out the driveshaft the oil will spill out from there otherwise. And plus it’s good practice to replace the oil.
Have you ever done a MK1 (T to 55 reg) Toyota Yaris? Are they straighforward? I've got an X reg 80,000 mile example on the original clutch, figure I'm on borrowed time 😂.
Very straight forward
I saw rover and thought you branched out into head gaskets for a second there boss lol
