- In today's video we try and get the Audi R8 into gear, as a follow on from the last episode where it wouldn't go into gear with the engine running.... there's a big expensive problem though!

Experience is something you get, just after you needed it 😂
How true. What a brilliant observation.
Great comment
Never was a truer word said!
True
Love that. Definitely going to use it …….often!
Worn diaphragm springs. Even a few millimetres difference can stop the clutch disengaging.
I absolutely LOVE the faces you make, Dean. You go from neutral, to extremely expressive, to neutral again almost instantly! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Great video.
I was giggling at the victory face he did
It's like watching Frank Lampard. Lol.
@@michaelbolt4530 KILLED ME!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fair play, this guy’s content is really interesting. And I like the fact that he makes honest mistakes and owns up to it without any bs. 👍
Atleast you got it running! All it cost was a new clutch, which is kind of a bonus in itself.
Dat absolute happy scream when it goes into gear and you know that it's working now is totally satisfying... Congratulations finally
Push em in drive em out smashed it my guy💯👌👍
Excellent video, big relief for you that the new clutch worked, roll on the next video.
Great work, I changed a clutch on a Gallardo (identical underneith) so feel your pain!
love the closing art......the car.
Ahh well done Dean , shame having to get that gearbox off again but well done, engine sounds nice tho, well done.
Chapeau !! Well done. I admire your perseverance. I always say: Experience is the summing up of all the mistakes, but it makes you a better mechanic
I guess it makes sense the clutch was knackered, if the old engine locked up while still in gear and at speed, its going to take a right wallop.
clutchgiver/taker cylinder. I had the same issue with takercylinder not giving enough pressure. Hope that helps
Gday Dean,
Worth the wait mate. Top effort and a great result. Gotta love that,
Cheers 👍👍🍻
Well done ,be very proud of yourself,great channel to the point no faffing about, wish you every success 👏
Love the vids keep them comin
Well dun dean you deserve some luck amazing job you have dun rebuilding the car look forward to nx video 👍
Good job Dean, you do very well to hold back the cursing!! Soon be cruising in the R8, well done..
Here as technicians, we have all had day's like this..... I work for huntingdonshire District council as a LGV - HGV technician. Loacl government are looking to push for more electric vehicles 😖. So looks like I'll become an elections. Great content bro keep it up. 💯 I away watch for start to finish 💯💥👍

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Well done figuring it out. Cannot wait to see it on the road on a proper test drive! :)
Called a Clutch Diaphragm m8👍👍
Looked too Flat on 1st Inspection for my liking 🤔
9:00
Look at the difference👀👀
Look for Grooving on the Diaphragm teeth compared to new👍
10:15
PERFECT SYMPTOMS OF DIAPHRAGM 👍👍
11:02
Bingo👍👍
Well done Dean
That's a lesson learnt for you. If you are in there, you might as well replace it.
Why do people fit those poxy little K&N filters sucking in air from the hot engine bay just above the exhaust? Is it because they make a nice noise?
Holy shite...brov, this shite is stressing me out, just watching 👀.....
Dean -the reversing lights don't work 😢
Well done
well done..been there a few times
Dont you fit new clutch and it will have to have thrust bearing it worn to the old clutch pressure plate
Clutch ing at straws lol
come On!!!! she runs
Get in sunshine 👌🏼👊🏼
Engine sounds like is missing one or two cylinders, or maybe lack of exhaust make it sound like this
Been waiting for this...!!!
Beginning to think that supercars are a liability.
And it's double clutch plate
You have all the shipping containers in the world in your yard
No he doesn’t, silly 🙃
No there's loads of them at ports
And in the oceans around the world too ha ha 😂😂
I love the fact that you don’t hide your mistakes and show all the content, good or bad. Don’t ever change. Superb content, always 👍🏻
Yes and me , Dean keeps it real 👍👍
I bet the relief was palpable! Fantastic work ethic got you there in the end. Well done mate. 🤟
your presure plat has a crack in it this is why some of the fingers where lower then the others. had it happen to a clutch ive changed before
Bent fingers on pressure plate means it’s not fully releasing/uneven clutch plate,usually overheated fingers someone’s been slipping the clutch or it was fitted incorrectly as in not tightening bolts diagonally and torqued up properly like rattling them down clockwise with gun 👍
Clutching at straws 😆! Good work for sticking with it, it's almost a shame that you'll have to fit the rest of the exhaust system - sounds epic!
Bonjour Dean, good job and good idea to check your clutch on the press. Problem could append on this double clutch and off course on single clutch it's damage on the disc center splin and ring.
It's appened when you bump the gearbox shaft in the disc center when you assembly the gearbox. The weight of the gearbox is very important and the bump is very heavy. The result is a twisted disk (impossibility to desengage) or spin (tooth) damage and a disk seized on the gearbox shaft. Same result disk doesn't desengage.
you could check that if you have time 🙂
Again bravo .

YOU PLAYED A BLINDER HAND UP TO YOU LAD AS I WOULD SAY FUCKING MIGHTY Wee question for u a have a audi bitdi 313bhp turbo actuator the electronic one shit the nest I ordered one on line,do u think its straight replacement I took mine out to have a look see if it was fixable but gears inside were wore out.watching your videos give me the impression to tackle it myself.
It not unheard of that multi-plate clutches in racecars and motorbikes you can have the friction discs stick to the flywheel and pressure plates. Especially if they've sat for a long time like over the winter break. Sometimes you can free them up by giving them a hard jolt which can be achieved by rocking or towing the car while in gear with the pedal depressed. I'm not convinced that is the problem you had, but could be worth a try next time.
Great work getting it moving, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the entire series so far. Looking forward to seeing it out on the open road, keep up the great videos man! 🎉
Really happy for you look at the smile 😊 on your face love it 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
wrong dmf/clutch kit or plate fitted the wrong way round lol
As Ed China would say “Result!”
Hello, Saving Salvage, I have learned a lot from watching your video frequency. They are all great. Can I repost your video and share it with more friends? I will link to your channel in the video. Can I reprint it? Thank you.😊
Congratulations on finally fixing the R8 Dean, you've work dam hard on this car, go get yourself a cold drink matey.
Be cheap gaskets genuine or better only
well done mate...perserverance is everything...couldn't help chuckling at 11:23.. "clutching at straws".. boom!
I remember a few videos back when you said "I don't need to replace the clutch, it looks fine." Then you showed it and I was like... "That clutch looks awful." lol. Sincerely, a man that's replaced several clutches haha.
You have done an amazing job on the car
Well done! I cheered at the screen when it worked
Glad to hear you're not "clutch"-ing at straws now 😅
Last weekend I swapped the clutch on my RX8, after removing the gearbox and clutch in a couple of hours it then took me 3 hours to get the gearbox back on, several failed attempts to get it in position I was ready to give up, sat down, had a cup of tea and chatted to a fellow owner, went back to it and the gearbox was on in 20 minutes, if it wasn't for the fact that it's an inanimate object I could of sworn I heard it say "what?" When it dropped in place. This was carried out in my drive, with axle stands a couple of ramps and a standard trolley Jack. I can fully sympathise with how frustrating it can be replacing a gearbox, at least you had physical help
Corr what a headache for you Dean, but I had faith in you, top work, and she does sound very sweet...
Felt your excitement when the new clutch worked. Maybe the issue was the friction plates? From doing dirt bike builds myself the friction plates get soaked in oil for a rebuild. Maybe your old ones dried out and weren’t able to take in the gearbox oil so they weren’t able to slip? Just a hunch
will you replace or clean the oil coolers on the car; with so many bits from the blown engine it would be a good idea.
watch matt Armstrong.
Clutching at straws….only me that smirked at that?
So happy for you. 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Dean really sorry to hear shouting your clutch MAT ARMSTRONG HAD THE DAME PROBLEM PLEASE HOPE THIS GETS TO YOU BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW CLUCH
Experience : put a better battery in it …or the starter motor and ecu’s are going to burn out …ask me how I know :))))
I actually cheered when it went I to gear. Also driving around with the back unassembled. Reminded me of that awsome ad audi ran for the r8. With it on the dyno. Ripping through the gear.
" Rebuilding My Audi R Arse " ? Haha , the swearing put a smile on my face. I know the feeling.... haha. 🙌
Good one. I just recently changed the cluch on my passat and it cost me 750£ in parts. So I would rather gave 1500 for your beast then for my 750😅😂
Great video as always - your channel wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t have to take something out straight after you’ve put it in ! Love this series !
It’s not a gear linkage thing exactly what happened to Mat Armstrong
Perseverance at its finest. Well done mate!
Don't know if anyone else has said this but check which way around you have the friction plate. I put the friction plate on the wrong way around (flywheel side towards gearbox) and had exactly the same symptoms on a ford Puma!
Similar thing happened on a BMW 328i i had, bastard going in 1st, clutch out and on a visual nothing wrong, new clutch and job done, put it down to weak fingers on the pressure plate.
"Love the job so much you do it twice..."
(stolen line from another mechanic's YT)
Great result. Had similar on an old BMW E30, the clutch suddenly felt stiff, then went back to normal apart from I could only get reverse with the engine off…. Turned out a finger spring had broken off and a few more were on their last legs…..
Good job but through experience I would always when changing a clutch also change the release bearing. I know £600 is a lot of money but it's peace of mind knowing that it will not fail at some point soon.
“clutching at straws” for the clutch..your joke not mine..Well done…think I want one now….
An epic problem sorted, well done. Nice to have a bit of humour to your malady with the clutch as you stated in the video you were "clutching at straws!" 🤣🤣
Sounds like an American muscle car! What was the problem with the other clutch? Was that ever figured out?
been fixing cars for over 40 years and in that time if i ever have had to remove and engine or strip down a car to the state your audi is i lernt a long time ago ALLWAYS Replace the Clutch while you have good access even if it look ok or nearly new .. just replace.
Started watching tbis the other day driving on the m74 looked to right was somone like yourself in a 65 plate iveco recovery and trailer in tow 😂 dout was you though
Good mate. Keep up the good work. Keep it real. Don't start talking like American and things cost Dollars 😂
Did you adjust the clutch pedal linkage. I had a similar problem and the pedal rod was either too long or short. I can't remember. Adjusted the rod and had proper engagement.
Done a gearbox on an old land rover, exactly the same problem, I'd put the clutch plate in the wrong way around 😯😯
HI Dean, glad you got it sorted but sorry I didn't mention this earlier before you bought the clutch. The issue could still be clutch bleed and could still have it albeit you can now engage gear with a new clutch although clutch drag could return as it wears.
Many motorcyclist know of a problem bleeding a system with a near vertical pipe trying to put fluid in the top and push air out the bottom. Air always wants to float to the top. I spent hours trying to bleed a front bike brake recyling loads of fluid before i found out the secret. On such a system, it is best to reverse fill through the bleed nipple and a syringe until the fluid reaches the reservoir. That way you don't get the air block in the first place.
If you don't do this, there is a significant risk that fluid simply goes past the air bubble with a pressure fill leaving it in place or if pushing very hard on the pedal on the old method, the bubble can move down on the down stroke but just float back to the top again at the end of the pedal stroke. Never tried it on an already failed fill, you may need to drain it first and then refill from the bottom.
Fantastic job, would be nice to strip the old clutch to actually see what had happened to make it fail, but I guess that's unproductive time for you
I'm assuming it's not a self adjusting clutch like most VW Audi,s these days? Needs to be reset if reusing the pressure plate or it won't disengage
Take my hat off to you, wonder why the clutch failed at the same time as the engine failure, presumably it was working at the point the engine failed. I hate coincidences! Well done
My gsxr does this when it's been standing all winter. The pressure plates stick to the friction plates. Had it been standing for long?
I’ve had the same problem on a truck when we skimmed the flywheel. With skimming it the slave has to move more in its stroke to release the friction plate and I don’t think the slave cylinder can go far enough. We fitted a new flywheel and everything was fixed
Resault you've worked hard mate sounds evil✌️😊👌
Glad the new clutch fixed the issue cos otherwise that would have been a bitter pill to swallow. Yay for powered movement 😊
Fookin hell...finally....you did super good you know 👏
I'm only 5 minutes in and I feel like I can hear Dean's enthusiasm for this rebuild draining away a bit....
What a grim slog that was. It’s there now and it makes that cold beer that much sweeter. I’m hoping that clutch doesn’t come back to haunt you anytime soon. Result 👍
Clutching at straws 🤦🏽♂️like it
Why machine the flywheel disc surface but not match machine the same on the outer pressure plate contact surface. This way You will lose apply pressure from
The clutch because it sinks in more than it should.
Every sympathy Dean, plenty of jobs on modern cars where you have to reassemble everything before you're able to test the fix
