I've a 1.2 fiesta but I've no plans to change the clutch. However, I just love your video. Love how you're tackling every single bolt sistemstically. Great video.
ich habe heute meine kupplung gewechselt… aber bei dir es war sehr leicht… im real time hat mir 6 stunden gedauert..😂 . thanks for the video my friend. Gruße von Deutschland
Thanks for this, very useful and enabled me to tackle my daughters 1.4. Not in your league though for bench pressing the gearbox back in, just wouldn't line up before the arms were pumped, got there by use of a trolley jack!
Jim Jam glad the video came through for you. ... definitely can get heavy on bench pressing the gearbox. Really glad to hear you got it done with some initiative of your own. Thanks for sharing. Have a great new year.
@@WMCS Happy New Year to you and your family, much respect to you earning a living doing this kind of graft day in, day out, hope the pay is good, you earn every penny!
Hi Kevin, I saw that you did not put the drive shaft bearing shield back on, I did the same on my fiesta by mistake, will it be ok without it. Thanks 🙏
I'm planning on removing the gearbox on my Mk6 Fiesta ST150 to repair some rust and replace a failed gearbox gasket. This video gives me more confidence and ideas on how to approach it but I'm a little paranoid about the engine falling off the jack.
Sethorion99 the engine mount should keep that engine in place if that ever happens. But nonetheless you should take extra car under the car. Keep in mind I do this every day and I take longer making sure the vehicle is safe than the actual repair itself.
Yet again Kevin you gave me the help i needed, thank you so much for these helpfull videos, you make it look so easy and they must take so much longer to change a clutch and record it all on your own, Thank you Kind Regards Mark...
Dear Kevin, have you ever changed the D-bushes on the fiesta anti roll bar, I’ve heard they are a. Pain and you need to drop the subframe, and that’s not something I’m looking forward to doing, I have read that you can undo the front nut on the clamp, prise open with crowbar, slide old D-bush out ands then close the new bush with lumber pliers and hopefully this will sort out the issue, I also have ordered the rear bottom gearbox to the subway mount. The old lollipop mount is severely damaged. There is play in it and it clunks when changing gear and going over bumps. So I’ve ordered the part, a cercio part. Yout
7:34 can i change that bushing without do anything else then take the bolts out, bushing and install the new one? i need to lift the gearbox or something? thanks a lot for doing fiesta
Any tips for getting the box back in? I just can't get it to line up, the box seems to be blocked by the frame on the side where the drive shafts go! Thanks
Thanks for your response, it looked to be all aligned, I had used an alignment tool too but we realigned it today anyway and with a bit of messing around and a few swear words I managed to get it in 😂 Your videos been very helpful, thank you
Undone all bolts as shown but gearbox won't budge at all. How did you get it off? Video cut half way at 11:54 so don't know if I'm missing any steps. Cheers

My customer bought a Transmech kit. I never worked with that brand. After replacing the clutch, the engine has a knocking sound. I checked reviews online and saw some really bad histories about that brand. Did you have anything like that happen to you?
I fitted a Transmech 3 piece clutch kit to my 2002 1.4 fiesta 4 weeks ago, 3 weeks later its slipping again and I have to replace it. I went on the Fiesta forum and there are quite a few complaints about Transmech clutches, I wish I had checked before purchasing one. I am now going to fit a Valeo clutch which I have been told are good clutches, does anyone know about this brand? I will be taking the Transmech clutch back to Euro Car Parts for a full refund. How are companies allowed to sell such crap!!!
Is that an IB5 gearbox?.... been told a petrol 1.25 box is a good gearing option for an ST150.....trouble is they want me to remove it myself.... just dont wanna get there and not bring the right tools,looks easy enough, great video
Thanks for this. I have the 1.6, and I was starting to consider removing the gearbox to get a good shot at the speed sensor (clip broke off the retaining pin, pin is firmly corroded into place and the sensor itself made cracking noises when it blatantly refused to come out). Now I'm reconsidering if I need a speed sensor anyway :P
Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings They are a right pain getting them pins out to release the sensor. You may need to use a small pin punch and try and get a good angle to hit it.
Kevin-Albert Williams everything back together all good. Now I need to refil everything. The gearbox oil is 2.5litres you said but how much break, clutch fluid will I need please?
Kevin your clearly talented and it's nice too see your work. Thanks for showing us. I've subscribed because I will more than likely one day need your services. Where are you based ? I may find that out in other videos of yours this the first I've come across and will look through some more no doubt. But nice job dude.
blake edition thanks a lot for your feedback. ... very much appreciated. I try and upload at least two vids a week. I cover 70mile radius from bedford Thanks for subscribing..
Thanks for this video, it’s helped a lot. One question though, in the video, it doesn’t show you refilling the transmission oil. Where is the filler hole and how do I check the level?
Brother this is like me from a few years back hahaha , the oily jacket and trousers, the Milwaukee (only mid range version) even to the red jack and yellow axle stands with flat feet 😆😆 only thing missing is the RAIN even in the summer it would fookin rain(joys of being in Glasgow) 😆😆 Like the matting your using i only had knee pads.......that'll be how ma knees and back are fooked Nice work mucker 👍👍👍
Andy it’s great to hear from a fellow mechanic. Thanks for the feedback., The joy of being outside. I bet you miss tho. I’d love to do a repair in Glasgow , I need some more extreme weather down here 🥃😆🍻🍻
struggling on my 2002 fiesta. Watched this and saw you just smacked the wishbone down and pulled the shafts out. Me and a mate took the strut out of the knuckle and now for the life of us cannot get it back in! On the drivers side (intermediate shaft) the balljoint was removed and managed to get half the strut in but now the balljoint "pin" won't line up on the knuckle :( Any advice please? nice to see the video done in a "professional" way showing little tips and tricks. Next time the struts wont be coming out because theyre a bastard to get back in! if you're in/around essex, wanna give us a hand? :) pretty please?
Jake S if remove the driveshaft completely... put the hub bolts back on first. Then install the driveshaft then do the ball joint last. It’s a cut out one. So you’ll need to pull it down a bit before inserting the pinch bolt back on. ... Any advice give us a message. Otherwise WhatsApp a few pics of where you’re stuck and I’ll try and walkthrough it with you. 07376369067
@@WMCS hi mate, managed to get it all done! balljoint off made the job much easier. Got the car back on the road, off the axle stands and started it up. Bleeding the clutch, i snapped the nipple off the slave... so gearbox out again.... not only that tightening the strut up with an impact ripped the top portion off where you put the torx/hex bit so new strut too. joys of cars, ay? cheers for the reply mate. all the best
Hi Kevin I have the same car as you. My clutch is slipping how much does it cost to get a new clutch? Also, I have been told with a dual mass flywheel the full thing needs to get replaced?
@@WMCS Ok, just didn't know if the 2nd plastic line can be screwed open (like a normal bleeder screw I know from VW, etc.) or needs some special conector to be opened.
@@WMCS ah okay cool I went with a transmech one I know they’re cheap but it’s my old car I’m fixing it up for my mum to have as I don’t want to see it go haha going to be fitting it Saturday wish me luck I’ll follow video step by step :)
I am literally at the point where I just have to remove the last two screws on the upper side of the gearbox and then it will come off, but these screws are incredibly hard to reach. I am out of ideas and stuck…..
Kevin, great video, few questions, why didnt you show us how to remove and fit the new clutch, i think i can do this job myself but have no idea how to remove and fit/align the new clutch? can you make a video next time you do a ford fiesta? also, is this a job you would recommended doing without an impact wrench? i have basic tools and thats all
Isn't it the 1.3l engine? There was a 1.25l and 1.3l engine, but the 1.25 was only built until 2003 and your model is a facelift wich was built between 2005 and 2008.

How many bearings are they in the gear box as when I push my clutch in it makes a rattle noise is that release bearing or thrust bearing
Any tips for getting the box back in? I just can't get it to line up, the box seems to be blocked by the frame on the side where the drive shafts go!

NirGreenSpring is the clutch kit lined up correctly..? If yes. It should pop back in fairly easy. Let us know.

Chay Lonsdale just use a pry bar. It sometimes gets stuck on the dowel.
Double check the starter motor dowel is full separated from the gearbox.
Thanks Kevin! I managed to get it off with a flat headed screwdriver and mallet.
Chay Lonsdale glad to hear you got it out in the end. Top man...💫
Respect to who ever can get a box in on your own, I tried for 4 hours before I had to get 2 mates to come help 😂
Kevin this is the best ASMR ever !
Thanks for the feedback 🍻🍻🍻
Great video and shows almost everything. Didn't show you putting new clutch disc and refilling the transmission oil...
By any chance do you know where I can find the torque setting for the reverse detent bolt you used to drain the gearbox oil please?

Mad respect for doin it on the ground, but one question I have left, du you get the air out like we do it exactly on the brakes?
Are you strong as an ox, or does the gearbox weigh like 20 kilos? You lifted that bastard with no struggle while lying down! Great video.
Jonas Lekstutis 😆💫thanks for the feedback. It’s not the heaviest of gearbox. But still a bit of weight.
I've read that it weighs 39kgs.
@@Sethorion99 only for your standard human
@@WMCS I wouldn’t want to fight you 😂😂😂👍
How do I get the passenger driveshaft out all I’ve done is chip the case and it won’t budge
I’m having trouble bleeding the clutch on one of these, any pointers? It is grind long on the way into gears
Is that an IB5 gearbox?.... been told a petrol 1.25 box is a good gearing option for an ST150.....trouble is they want me to remove it myself.... just dont wanna get there and not bring the right tools,looks easy enough, great video
is really the lower bult the drainplug ?. I heard that ford fiesta dont have any drainplug
Yes that’s the one you’re looking at. A bit of a silly design in my opinion. But it does the job. A bit messy tho.
It technically is the housing for the detent pin, but people use as a drain as Kevin-Albert says it does the job.
Sorry if I missed it but how did you support the engine, just the trolley jack?
Thanks for this. I have the 1.6, and I was starting to consider removing the gearbox to get a good shot at the speed sensor (clip broke off the retaining pin, pin is firmly corroded into place and the sensor itself made cracking noises when it blatantly refused to come out).

I didnt see in the process when he bleed the clutch
Fantastic video! Thanks so much for making it and sharing.
Interesting jacking point - is that in centre of front subframe?
Cardnim
It’s centre of middle subframe.
At 9:45 is there 2 bolts or 3 bolts that need removing. I’ve done everything in this video and I cannot separate the 2 sections at the very end.
neil hilton sorry for the delayed response. Did you manage it alright in the end.
There’s 3 bolts to be removed
Kevin-Albert Williams yes I figured there was a third bolt. Thanks for the video. Couldn’t of done it without it.
neil hilton thanks for sharing on our forum. Glad to hear the video cam through as a big help.
Kevin-Albert Williams everything back together all good. Now I need to refil everything. The gearbox oil is 2.5litres you said but how much break, clutch fluid will I need please?
neil hilton to bleed it you’ll need no more than 1L if Dot 4 brake fluid.

Hi Kevin did you need to bleed the clutch quite a few times ?
Yes the procedure has to be repeated multiple times. Hope you got it ok.
Thanks for this video, it’s helped a lot. One question though, in the video, it doesn’t show you refilling the transmission oil. Where is the filler hole and how do I check the level?
Matthew Cubillo
The filler is above the drain plug it’s an Allen key 6. Correct amount of oil is 2.5L.

No DMF on a petrol version. This repair will cost about £330.
