Thanks for all the additional time you took making this. My 16yo son and I replaced forks, clutch, axles, motor mounts, transmission mounts and fluids with your help. Dealer quoted $5500 for the job ... and they wanted me to pay separate labor for all of those items. Parts were $1650 and tools needed were $500. But a day working on a car together was the best part. Thank you.
First of all I want to say thank you for the $100 super thanks, you didn’t have to do that but it is much appreciated. It’s also awesome to hear that the best part of the job was doing this with your 16 year old son and spending time with him. That encourages me to continue doing this videos knowing that it not only helps someone out and saves them money but is all teaching the younger generation at the same time. Cherish these moments with your son, I lost my dad at an early age but he’s the one that taught me everything I know about auto mechanics and repair and your comment reminded me of myself when I was 16 out there with my father teaching me how to fix my car in high school. Thanks again
@ Blue Collar Garage: I salute you for your knowledge, patience and dedication. Taking a footage of this HUGE and Very involved job, must've, at least, doubled the time you needed to finish it. Thank you for helping all of those of us, who are too financially-challenged to get a mechanic to do this job for them, or where scrapping their car is not a feasible option for them. cheers!
Thank you so much!! This was the best walk through on this entire platform. All the angles, all the lighting, all the information like torque specs. You sir deserve a special place in heaven. Just test drove my car after doing every single step in this video and I can confirm that my car works better at 130k miles than when I bought it at 80k miles. I cannot thank you enough!
This is the most detailed complete video with the best camera angles of this type of rebuild. The explanation of every part being disassemble and showing how to reinstall everything is fantastic. My wife has a 2011 Fiesta and I think I'm going to need this video pretty soon. Thanks a million for making it
GENIUS is your name! Video is enough to initiate a learner into mastership on the transmission replacement with all the info you put out in the stages and walkthroughs. SO DETAILED. THANK YOU
You saved my ass 4k. Mechanic wanted 4600. I spent about 675 on the clutch kit and because of you. I GOT THE JOB DONE!! Tedious. Took me 5 days. But it got done. Thank you brother!
Thank you for taking you're time and explaining everything very well. I can tell you worked very hard on this video. I just wanted to say that there not much people out there taking the time to explain things to noobs like me. This is very much appreciated.
You are a great fellow and YOU have golden hands. We made such a useful video, working and explaining step by step our actions and nuances. It turned out to be an excellent visual instruction video. And I also wanted to say, my father once told me: love the car son, it’s not a woman, it won’t let you down. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH for the video you shot, you are a professional in your field.
This video by this guy is awesome. Very detailed to get the job done. Excellent links to get the parts and tools. I would like to add one thing that would also help everyone taking on this task, before transmission is removed, I cut a angle iron approximately 1.5" x .25" x 48" and placed it frame to frame parallel to the engine where the intake manifold was. Then ran a chain down to the hole by where the starter was and attached the chain to the angle iron above. I cut another angle iron approximately 1.5" x .25" x 30" and placed it on lower part of firewall and across bottom of the engine. Ran another chain from upper angle iron to lower angle iron and bolted the chain together. Now I did not need to have engine support in the way of removing the transmission. I was also able to lower the car on its wheels while waiting for the parts to arrive. Worked very well. Best wishes.
Awesome workmanship ! This is the very best video on this ford trans job . Great patience and superb camera work . Thanks so much for this amazing video .
I wanted to thank you tremendously for taking the time and effort in putting this video together. I used this religiously as my guide to repairing my daughter's 2014 Ford Focus. My first transmission project. Your guidance made it a success. My daughter is thrilled to have her car back. Thank you. Thank you. Keep me in mind if you do a water pump replacement for a 2003 Kia Sorento. Lol.
Thanks so much for this video If it wasn’t for you I would be installing my new clutch in my car and not of noticed to fix the main problem in the first place which was the crankshaft seal!!!!
I've been watching YT videos for years-to refresh my memory before fixing something, or to learn how to do it. I never watch videos over 20 minutes. But your video this video was fabulous! You showed how to do each step while narrating, and I really appreciate what you do. Where are you located ( in case I need to bring my car to you)?? 2015 Focus
Excellent video, very well explained. I am downloading the transmission following your steps. I'm not there yet, but I'll get there. Thanks for this guide.
Thanks for the video. I used this a video a lot in my 2012 focus clutch replacement. You are very thorough and easy to follow and i credit you with my successful replacement
This issue just happened to me. I ended up selling the car because I didn't want to be bothered with paying $3000 for this fix. Idk if I'll ever buy a Ford again. The 2nd ford that took a dump on me within 4 months of ownership. Great video!
Nice job. My sons focus needs this completed. Im not gonna do it but feel like i could after watching this video. Wanted to comment and will follow just to hopefully help you in that way. You're awesome!!
Fantastic job with very good filming skills. You should have removed the engine oil pan to get better access to the clutch screws and the main crankshaft seal.😊
This was an awesome video your explanation to every detail was very helpful and excellently well done. Your master skill in mechanics made all this look like someone that is mechanically inclined could take on a project like this. I know firsthand that it’s no were as easy as you made it look. Thank you for doing this video it was very helpful. Can you tell me how much would a job like this cost, this would be a good reference point not to get over charged by a repair shop.
My mom got a 13 Focus off her dad after he passed. It was Garage kept with not even 20k miles on it and it needs the dual clutch done. I also noticed a couple drops of oil on the bottom where the tranny connects to the engine so I wondering if that could be from that rear seal. Thank you for the detailed video of what to do, if I can fin a place to work on it I am going to do it for her. Only thing I don't have is the scan tool that can do the relearn, ill have to see if I can borrow or rent one.
great video - appreciate how you took us right to the end. After three tries with the programmer/scanner, I finally got it to pass all tests. Transmission worked fine on the test run - for two miles. As I was coming back into the driveway, it shifted strange. I pulled up to the shop and realized I had lost reverse (again). I tried going through the learning process again but when at the "clutch" stage the test failed saying it coud not read the module. This is at 3:31:22 in your video. There are two test screens - mine failed on the second one a the "two gearbox shaft neutral" point and went no further. In summary, I have forward gears but no reverse. Ideas?? Thanks
Fantastic Guide - So thorough! Give me lots of confidence in working on mine - Can I ask your advice on my 2017 Ford Focus SEL? I recently bought it used (auction), carfax shows 6k miles previously the ford dealership replaced the clutch... So it shifts smooth and drives great, but it makes a scraping noise sometimes when coming to a stop, definitely a transmission noise. It's not jerking or shuttering, but this scraping noise is sometimes loud and sometimes quiet or gone, occasionally even a kind of clunk is felt, mild though. Happens most in traffic. Mostly when slowing to a stop or near stop. Car has 125k on it, clutch job from dealership at 119k. I am thinking when they did the clutch they didn't do anything for the actuators and forks area and maybe lots of dust still in that area? Let me know what you think!
Thanks for the super thanks I really appreciate that. That’s a tough one and you’re positive it’s coming from the transmission? I know a lot of the Ford dealerships when they were doing warranty claims on theses transmissions they would just replace the seals and clutch without touching the shift forks or actuators in my opinion everything should be replaced all at once. Might want to check the bearing on the passenger side cv axle. Could also put it up on some jacks stands and have someone put it in drive and just listen underneath to try and narrow it down just be careful doing this. That’s all I can really think of right now.
@BLUECOLLARGARAGE I say transmission because when I come to a stop, the car is no longer in motion and then it goes and makes that clunk or scrape sound as the transmission fully disengages. It corresponds to the lower shifts, and the rpm changes. It's almost like something slips and then you hear the clunk. It tends to do it more once the car has been running for a while...I was underneath it today and noticed it's leaking from the rear main seal too, so that's not great. The car shifts pretty smooth though and drives well. So I was just was hoping to avoid a lot of work... Maybe just continue driving it, I thought maybe these cars could have noises like that. This is my first experience with one.
@@NickyJayO sounds like maybe the shift forks could be caked with clutch dust and possibly sticking. If I were you I’d just keep driving it like you said and wait until it starts slipping or shuddering unless that rear main seal gets really bad. Also are you sure it’s motor oil? And not the transmission fluid? I’m assuming they updated the oil seal when they replaced the clutch but then again you never know. You may want to just check the transmission fluid level from the fill hole just to be sure.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE You might be right. I was just driving it and with the windows down as it disengages out of first gear on slowing it sounds like two metal plates going clank, it is actually pretty loud. I didn't know they could get sticky like that. And that's a good point I will have to check that fluid level. Not sure what low levels would do, but will def get that sorted out either way.
I just did my rear main, putting it back together now. I didn't use RTV because there was rubber on the seal. Do you need RTV, or did you just add it as a precaution? Update: definitely use gasket maker! Great video by the way!
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE It was leaking oil like crazy, had to throw out the seal and buy a new one and permatex ultra black, which apparently meets the OEM TA-30 standard.
When installing your new axles. The flange on the axle fits snug inside the bearing. When lined up, it will slide in. What causes problems is the flange hitting the bearing race. Patience. Move it side to side, up and down.
This transmission doesn’t have a filter. It’s a dry clutch setup so it doesn’t take normal atf fluid. It’s pretty much a manual transmission that automatically shifts for you.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE we have a powershift 6 gear transmission on both cars here. A Mondeo MK5, and a Focus MK3.5. And they has a filter outside the transmission. It's a black plastic tube with a filter inside.
Wow! Really great video. I’m going to use this when I replace my clutch here soon. Question…I have a 2013 focus s. And when I turn the car on (ACC) there is a grinding sound coming from the trans, the noise is concentrated where the TCM is. Have you experienced something like that? Do you have any idea what it could be? I took it to Ford and they said it was the clutch assembly…so I decided to do the work myself. I just want to be sure that the clutch is the only issue.
Great video and thank you for sharing. Just wondering, could we just removed the fan assembly unit so as to make room for the starter and flywheel bolt?
This is the best Video about 12 to 18 ford focus transmission. Just wanted to know about scan you use X tool to relearn what is the model number or exact name of tool. Thanks
How long do you think the forks, clutch and clutch actuators will last before they need to replaced again? I heard the 2.0L Duratec engine is very reliable on these Ford Focuses however even with all the improved transmission components (TCM, Clutch, Forks, Actuators, seals, etc.) I wonder when something will break again.
Interesting, I am currently sitting at around 148k miles with my focus. So I am probably close to having to do some work on the transmission. Anyways, very dope video!
Thanks for uploading a very detailed video, im currently replacing my clutch and got the same luk brand, I have a question about if I need to reset the new clutch assembly? Or is it comes ready to install? Thanks in advanced
The sealing material that comes pre-applied to the new seal that runs along the inside bottom doesn't mate to any surface. The PVC gasket you applied is the only seal along the bottom. Did I miss something? The position of the camera must be hiding a ledge for that lower seal.
Believe I’m going through this exact issue right now, I hear this rattling sound when I accelerate or switch gears to Drive. And it won’t let me drive in higher gears it’ll shift down to reduced speeds so I basically have to drive like a grandma in the meantime. You think it’s a clutch issue?
VERY NICE VIDEO. Is this the same clutch as on a 2013 Ford C-MAX 2.0 diesel automatic? Greets from Sweden. PS. How do you know if the automatic transmission is not working as well.
After you remove the flex plate bolts, turn the flex plate a little. Reinstall two bolts, opposite each other, and turn them in. They will press against the flat surface of the crank and push the plate off. Well, that's my theory. I haven't tried it yet.
I got my clutch from the same place you got it. I also watched this whole video 3 times over. I believe I was sold a bad clutch. Every 200 to 400 miles or so, my Focus will get stuck in with the inability to move forward. I'll have to turn the vehicle off for 30 seconds, and it'll be good to go. I'm thinking of returning the clutch and purchasing one from the dealer. I already got two new OEM Actuators, and TCM under warranty.
Just completed putting my trans back into car after finding bad fork. The car is failing the clutch touch point procedure and I continuously get the transmission fault on screen. When reading with forscan I see a p073F. Please help!
Hello, I followed the entire procedure and was able to mount the transmission. However I keep getting codes P075A Friction element B in gearbox stuck. P073F Cannot engage speed 1, P074B Impossible to engage 3. I only changed the forks because the A was broken, I kept the same Clutch Set. In the assembly procedure that was carried out following your instructions, I only had doubts with the assembly of the plate with the assembly tool. Maybe it's too tight and it doesn't release. Because now the forks move well, the 2 fork actuators also work properly. When I open the ignition there is a rattling noise in the transition as if it wanted to free the forks or the chainring. I must have done something wrong that I am still having problems. What do you advise me? Should I also change the plate? Do you think it's too tight and doesn't release? I would appreciate your comments. Greetings and thank you once again for that excellent video
I already know what happened, the double clutch, if the old one is going to be reused, it must be recalibrated with a special tool for this. So nothing, I have to disassemble everything again and start again. For all the newbies like me, if you use the same clock you have to buy the tool to recalibrate it
Do you a auto repair shops in Greater Toronto, Ontario. My Ford focus has transmission problem. How much to overhaul the transmission of 2014 focus thank you
2015 Focus 122k miles, thought it was the TCM which Ford has extended the warranty to 150k but it's the B clutch, codes P2701, P287A, P07A4, dealership estimate $3500, independent transmission shop doesn't work on DCT.
Sorry, but... did you have problems with transmission ??? i noticed you didnt remove the forks metal protector at 3:38:48. Its critical to remove them after instaled. Please let me know.
i ordered a new clutch & gear, both didn’t come with flex plate triangle & the clutch didn’t come with the gear marking. do you know how to properly figure out where to align them?
So i got a question. I have seen that when others change that clutch once its done, they are able to spin and move the shaft around. Once i had all of it settle my clutch plate would move about an inch to either side is this ok l. And will it be able to move normal if i put it back on that way?
No real permanent fix. The new updated seals will not leak like the original factory ones thus not getting gear oil on the clutches. The problem is all the clutch dust that develops and gets all over the shift forks causing them to stick.
I used to have a 2013 Focus and the RMS had to be replaced 3 times; continued to leak. It was offered as an add-on service when my transmission finally failed, and I regret accepting the offer. I've read of many others that have repeat RMS issues. Not sure what the problem is.
I bought a clutch with both forks and 1 of them when I twisted back 9 times it never recoiled back to starting position . 2 days wasted and now waiting for a replacement
do you have a part number for the seal kit? I don't need to change the seals as they are the updated ones but i need the grease and the bearing mount for the cv axel on passenger side.
You might as well just pull the strut assembly out and the control arms for more room because the control arm bushings are going to be shot and the death wobble at highway speeds is no fun.
I did the whole transmissions job But after completing When we start the car and change the gear into drive and reverse mode the engine turn off Whta is the reason behind this Can you please tell me
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE, the vibration wasn't there before the clutch was replaced. So I am pretty sure that the mounts are not the problem. Also, I have replaced hundreds of mounts and I know what a bad mount feels like. This vibration is not the same as a bad mount.
@@elibiagianti8337, Those bolts were in the correct place. We let the customer take it and he is happy with it. It has been a month. If the customer is happy, then so am I.

Agreed! You went to a lot of effort to video this whole job. It’s over 3 1/2 hours! Well done man!
Excellent tutorial. The amount of work involved in filming and editing the video would have been far more than doing the actual job!

Fantastic video, after watching a 2nd time. Thank You, you R Great.👍
Please never delete thanks
thanks for this video now i can fix my focus
This video was a life saver! Thank you.
If I'm not mistaken, you can fill your trans fluid through the vent on top of the trans. Keep the fill plug off so you know when its full.
clear steps , i am going to buy a focus

When installing your new axles. The flange on the axle fits snug inside the bearing. When lined up, it will slide in. What causes problems is the flange hitting the bearing race. Patience. Move it side to side, up and down.
Has to be the best video my brotha where can I donate ?
I appreciate that brother! You could send me a super thanks if you want. Should be right under the description a heart that say thanks.
Really good video! Thanks. Did you change the oilfilter on the transmission?
This transmission doesn’t have a filter. It’s a dry clutch setup so it doesn’t take normal atf fluid. It’s pretty much a manual transmission that automatically shifts for you.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE we have a powershift 6 gear transmission on both cars here. A Mondeo MK5, and a Focus MK3.5. And they has a filter outside the transmission. It's a black plastic tube with a filter inside.
Wow! Really great video. I’m going to use this when I replace my clutch here soon.
Question…I have a 2013 focus s. And when I turn the car on (ACC) there is a grinding sound coming from the trans, the noise is concentrated where the TCM is. Have you experienced something like that? Do you have any idea what it could be?
I took it to Ford and they said it was the clutch assembly…so I decided to do the work myself.
I just want to be sure that the clutch is the only issue.
Great video and thank you for sharing. Just wondering, could we just removed the fan assembly unit so as to make room for the starter and flywheel bolt?
You probably could but removing the intake will probably be the best.
This is the best Video about 12 to 18 ford focus transmission. Just wanted to know about scan you use X tool to relearn what is the model number or exact name of tool. Thanks
Here’s a link to it amzn.to/48ZCefj
Thanks
How long do you think the forks, clutch and clutch actuators will last before they need to replaced again? I heard the 2.0L Duratec engine is very reliable on these Ford Focuses however even with all the improved transmission components (TCM, Clutch, Forks, Actuators, seals, etc.) I wonder when something will break again.
Just kind of depends I’ve seen some go 150k with no issues but others only 75k the problem is the clutch dust.
Interesting, I am currently sitting at around 148k miles with my focus. So I am probably close to having to do some work on the transmission. Anyways, very dope video!
Thanks! Awesome videos.
I appreciate the super thanks 👍
Great video.
Do u need a scan tool to do the learning procedure or it’s able to figure it out it’s self???
Yes you will need a scan tool to perform learning procedure.
AQUI NO BRASIL ESSE CÂMBII DEU O QUE FALAR, MUITO PROBLEMA MAS É UM BOM CARRO.
Thanks for uploading a very detailed video, im currently replacing my clutch and got the same luk brand, I have a question about if I need to reset the new clutch assembly? Or is it comes ready to install? Thanks in advanced
Luk clutches are ready to install just check the tabs to double check its locked
Yep like erickittle8739 said if it’s new the clutch already comes reset ready to install.
The sealing material that comes pre-applied to the new seal that runs along the inside bottom doesn't mate to any surface. The PVC gasket you applied is the only seal along the bottom. Did I miss something? The position of the camera must be hiding a ledge for that lower seal.
Believe I’m going through this exact issue right now, I hear this rattling sound when I accelerate or switch gears to Drive. And it won’t let me drive in higher gears it’ll shift down to reduced speeds so I basically have to drive like a grandma in the meantime. You think it’s a clutch issue?
That was epic. Let me know if you live in colorado cuz i might need a mechanic for my 2012 Focus
VERY NICE VIDEO.
Is this the same clutch as on a 2013 Ford C-MAX 2.0 diesel automatic?
Greets from Sweden.
PS. How do you know if the automatic transmission is not working as well.
Yes I believe so. The transmission will start to shudder and slip while chaining gears.
How long did it take to do your job by yourself
Do I turn it clockwise or counter clockwise? Also would turning the engine the wrong way put it out of timing?
thank you very much
After you remove the flex plate bolts, turn the flex plate a little. Reinstall two bolts, opposite each other, and turn them in. They will press against the flat surface of the crank and push the plate off. Well, that's my theory. I haven't tried it yet.
I got my clutch from the same place you got it. I also watched this whole video 3 times over.
I believe I was sold a bad clutch. Every 200 to 400 miles or so, my Focus will get stuck in with the inability to move forward. I'll have to turn the vehicle off for 30 seconds, and it'll be good to go. I'm thinking of returning the clutch and purchasing one from the dealer.
I already got two new OEM Actuators, and TCM under warranty.
Just completed putting my trans back into car after finding bad fork. The car is failing the clutch touch point procedure and I continuously get the transmission fault on screen. When reading with forscan I see a p073F. Please help!
Hello, I followed the entire procedure and was able to mount the transmission.
However I keep getting codes
P075A Friction element B in gearbox stuck.
P073F Cannot engage speed 1,
P074B Impossible to engage 3.
I only changed the forks because the A was broken, I kept the same Clutch Set.
In the assembly procedure that was carried out following your instructions, I only had doubts with the assembly of the plate with the assembly tool.
Maybe it's too tight and it doesn't release. Because now the forks move well, the 2 fork actuators also work properly.
When I open the ignition there is a rattling noise in the transition as if it wanted to free the forks or the chainring. I must have done something wrong that I am still having problems.
What do you advise me?
Should I also change the plate?
Do you think it's too tight and doesn't release?
I would appreciate your comments. Greetings and thank you once again for that excellent video
I already know what happened, the double clutch, if the old one is going to be reused, it must be recalibrated with a special tool for this. So nothing, I have to disassemble everything again and start again. For all the newbies like me, if you use the same clock you have to buy the tool to recalibrate it
Do you a auto repair shops in Greater Toronto, Ontario. My Ford focus has transmission problem. How much to overhaul the transmission of 2014 focus thank you
I do not. I am in the United States located in Colorado.
2015 Focus 122k miles, thought it was the TCM which Ford has extended the warranty to 150k but it's the B clutch, codes P2701, P287A, P07A4, dealership estimate $3500, independent transmission shop doesn't work on DCT.
Can these operations be applied to the 2013 Ford Fiesta powershift transmission?
Yes because it’s the same transmission as the focus.
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE Thank you buddy. I tried and the result is successful.
I have changed out my clutch, but I can not find any markings or triangle on the clutch…. How concerning is this?
Sorry, but... did you have problems with transmission ??? i noticed you didnt remove the forks metal protector at 3:38:48. Its critical to remove them after instaled. Please let me know.
By the way thanks for this important video. Hugs from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you 🙏 much appreciated.
i ordered a new clutch & gear, both didn’t come with flex plate triangle & the clutch didn’t come with the gear marking. do you know how to properly figure out where to align them?
What brand of clutch is it?
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE luk, i got it on ebay
отличная работа. молодец
Great info ✌️
So i got a question. I have seen that when others change that clutch once its done, they are able to spin and move the shaft around. Once i had all of it settle my clutch plate would move about an inch to either side is this ok l. And will it be able to move normal if i put it back on that way?
So what is the permanent fix for this transmission/ TCM. !!
No real permanent fix. The new updated seals will not leak like the original factory ones thus not getting gear oil on the clutches. The problem is all the clutch dust that develops and gets all over the shift forks causing them to stick.
Thanks !!!!!
My car won’t crank up after I change the fork on my 2012 focus, what could be the problem all the lines are connected ant the ground is also connected
Where can I get service like this I live in Berkeley CA Thank you
If you were closer to Colorado I could do it for you. Not sure where to take it in CA
I used to have a 2013 Focus and the RMS had to be replaced 3 times; continued to leak. It was offered as an add-on service when my transmission finally failed, and I regret accepting the offer. I've read of many others that have repeat RMS issues. Not sure what the problem is.
sell the car trust me
@@loganpennington9104 I did several years ago, but I'm wondering why dealer techs continued to fail at it over and over.
Where are you located? I need a job done like this
I’m in Colorado
I bought a clutch with both forks and 1 of them when I twisted back 9 times it never recoiled back to starting position . 2 days wasted and now waiting for a replacement
That sucks sorry to hear that hopefully they’re sending you a new one free of charge.
do you have a part number for the seal kit? I don't need to change the seals as they are the updated ones but i need the grease and the bearing mount for the cv axel on passenger side.
It’s in the description should be the fourth link down. It includes all the seals and the special grease.
ok thank you@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE
man i wish i had all the tools and a garage to do that lol u not in south carolina btw are u ahaha need this done on a 2012 ford focus
Thanks brother but I’m pretty far from you in Colorado.
How long you take do replace clutch at focus ? time ?
If I wasn’t recording the whole process probably takes around six hours
You might as well just pull the strut assembly out and the control arms for more room because the control arm bushings are going to be shot and the death wobble at highway speeds is no fun.
No issues so far car rides and drives great.
Once you removed the clutch you should to replace the shaft seals.
If we don't match the traiangle mark with the fly wheel then ???
You will have vibration. The arrow is how to balance the clutch with the flywheel.
I did the whole transmissions job But after completing When we start the car and change the gear into drive and reverse mode the engine turn off Whta is the reason behind this Can you please tell me
What is the model number on your scan tool ?
It the Xtool d7 from Amazon amzn.to/3ROjPtU
do you know anyone around Denver who fixes these transmissions?
Can you give me the parts number for the flex plate bolts please
I followed all directions and there is still a vibration at idle and at about 65 mph. I am going to have to go back into it again. P.O.S. Ford.
Have you checked to replaced the motor mounts and torque mount?
@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE, the vibration wasn't there before the clutch was replaced. So I am pretty sure that the mounts are not the problem. Also, I have replaced hundreds of mounts and I know what a bad mount feels like. This vibration is not the same as a bad mount.
Check the trans. Mount under the car if the bolt aren’t in right spots you’ll get a vibration you may need to swap the bolt around
@@phil-1115 I believe the white or silver bolt is vertical and black is horizontal
@@elibiagianti8337, Those bolts were in the correct place. We let the customer take it and he is happy with it. It has been a month. If the customer is happy, then so am I.
Where are you at 45:54?
Passenger side front looking at the cv axle
this is hardcore
