Thanks so much for this! You helped a lot with this video. Although my father does not speak English, you made it possible even for him to do the work! We saved so much money, thank you again😄
Just changed my Clutch with your method and all went well :-) The hardest part was to get the Gearbox back on since the spline dint match and there is no way of turning it. THX for your Helpful Video Mate.
@@WMCS Yes i got it aligned and everything works, only problem is that my clutch pedal is soft and the cluch engages very soon...has no presure point like before, how do you bleed the system ?
SpyHeli sorry for the late response. It definitely needs bleeding out ... If you look on the channel I’ve started showing how to bleed a clutch on the last few videos. 1. Fill reservoir with dot4 clutch fluid. 2.get someone to pump the pedal a few times then hold it down to the floor. 3. Crack open the bleed nipple from the slave cylinder. Tighten bleed nipple back up. 4. Repeat the pump procedure and bleed a few times. The pedal should feel pressure after about two or three times.
Great video pal. You just saved me a load of cash. Found moving gearbox out of way and back the most difficult bits ( needed a helper ). Also needed to make up a small enough clutch alignment peg to fit into the small space. It was hard work though if ur not used to it like me. A day to remove. A day to reassemble.
Kevin thanks for the great content mate much appreciated as always. My brother has a Zafira and the gear box and clutch seems to be knackered. It won’t go into first gear, instead it goes in to reverse and it smokes like it’s about to catch fire.
man i wish i.d seen your vid before i done the dmf on my zafira i removed subframe drive shafts and everything lol good vid mate watched most of your other videos too thanks
Hi thanks for your video, didn't realise that you could remove the gearbox without dropping the subframe. Do you know if the same could be done on a zafira A ? Thanks.
Hi Kevin, I have another question: do you top off the gearbox oil? I drained it in my Zafira (200 k km) and there wasn't even a liter in it (it supposed to be 1,4 l, while there is not an evident leak)!
Loving your videos and how efficiently you do the clutch changes. Just wondered you had to use spanner in places where you couldn't get the impact wrench. Why not use a ratchet spanner? :)
Have a question Did you know on corsa c 1.0 to change rear main seal and the clutch with slave cylinder Could I do this without pulling the subframe ? Enough space to push the gearbox on side? Or necessary pulling the subframe out to pull the gearbox out. Thx
Thank you for such detailed video. Please tell me how much is such work? Got my clutch replaced recently. But really needs as second opinion, the car is not the same since. Thank you
i work on cars ,but mostly servicing and MOT testing ,i have done some clutches in the past ,i a diesel Zafira ,but dropped the subframe down ,have lent a lot from you already ,might have to do a Berlingo next
Nice viedo. You did a lot of work to record from all angles. Today you earned a new subscriber. 🙂 Tell me please if it is the same procedure for a Corsa D?
Brilliant video mate! Helping out alot of people. Also bloddy brilliant at it! I have a vauxhall/opel zafira 1.6life with f17+ transmission if i drain the gearbox completely do you know how much oil i need to put back in thanks bud!
Nice and smooth mate I commented on this vid on another channel I've always removed subframe just done this on a 1.6 zaffy aswell dropping the subframe my jaw hit the floor when you threw it on the sub can you let me know if you can do this method on the z19dth and z19dt 8v with m32 box
Brilliant video, how you got some of those angles with the camera I do not know. I'm having to change my gearbox this week on mine as it has died! I take it the subframe needs to com down to remove gearbox?
And another subscriber, this time from Holland! I maybe doing the main (rear) cranckseal, so the clutch has to come off. How do you keep track of the bolts? Thanks for your instructive vid!
M. Torn In that case all the bolts that you take out screw them loosely back on. All the bolts on the back of the gearbox leave them in. Loose but don’t pull them out.
Hy, did you drain the gearbox oil before this operation, or is it not needed? I was thinking that oil should have dripped when you removed the drive shafts. Nice work! This method is a lot faster than removing the hole subframe.
:) just done this job today (clutch receiver cilinder exchange) this a one day job for me... Turns out that on 1,6 16v Astra with F17 gearbox you must drain the oil before removing the drive shafts, otherwise you will lose oil. If anyone else is waching this comment, do not do this by yourself, have a helper at least when you refit the gearbox to the engine (I lost 2 hours only remounting the gearbox by myself, and now I have a hole upperbody muscle acke). Thanks for the tutorial man, its priceless.
Hi Kevin, I took of the oilpan, to find out that there was an oilleak at the rear end. I fixed it and fortunately didnot have to take off the clutch. Could use your tips for the bolts though! Cheers, Martin Torn
Is LUK csc good. My Zafira is fine but is slipping ever so slightly in 5th in dusk carriageway but the main problem I have is that my clutch is gone soft after hearing something snap from the pedal what could this be? I’m having a clutch kit LUK with csc fitted Monday
yeh boy sorry for the late response. If you can avoid having an LUK CSC. they tend to always fail prematurely I’ve found to be the case. The snap you heard is most likely the clutch master cylinder which is located behind the pedal. Let us know how you got on. Thanks.
Kevin-Albert Williams had a sacs kit fitted 3pc clutch feels better again like butter but the play at the top of pedal remains like without pressing it it rattles around
yeh boy glad to hear the car is back to life and feels lovely. Try having a little look under the pedal and maybe you can spot something possibly a spring may have popped out of its locator or try having a look at the clutch master cylinder from the footwell.
Andrew Bramwell they are very straight forward. Just get someone to pump and hold the pedal down while you crack open the bleed nipple, shut it tight, repeat procedure. About 4 times.
Used this video sucessfully a couple of years ago...hard work.... But saved me about £500. I found getting gearbox say out of way and back in place a bit tricky....this chap must be fit as a fiddle... does anyone know there also access to remove the flywheel and replace the crankshaft seal with this method?
After watching this I reckon you don't get paid enough! Got mine replaced about a week ago (diagnosed as a slipping clutch), a week later and it's doing the same thing. Mechanic reckons oil has dripped onto the new clutch, after watching this it looks like there would be little chance of oil getting in there!
Fifury161 on these models. There’s two options of clutches. They both fit but one of them the pressure plate has a slight difference in thickness. Which would cause it to slip under high revs.
@@WMCS yes this is true. I was in service with my car years ago and this happends to me. The first option was 100euro, and is slipping. Then they had to change the clutch again with an 300 euro option. After that all was ok. Thank you for this tutorial. I think i gonna change it again today by myself with my father.
Ok thanks just in middle of take it apart just 3 bolts left at the top bellhoueing lol I have a Oli leak some were to and have do wish arm's as they rotten so got them today
Makes sense to change them whilst driveshaft is out. Quite a nice easy repair this. Use black oil resistant sealant. Triple QX from euro car parts after removing gearbox sump to drain oil.
It work out that the seal behind f/bearing was letting gaer box oil out so it wasn't engine oil all good Back on thanks for your help 10 out for video help alot
Steve McCormick You can use a normal 1/2 drive 14mm sockets. Or 15mm spanner. And you’ll also need an 11mm socket or spanner for the smaller ones. They fit perfectly
@@WMCS Thanks for the speedy reply and thanks also for this video. Unfortunately I renewed the clutch plate and CSC, got it all bolted up back together and the clutch was still very hard to press so the Zafira went to the great scrapman in the sky earlier today :/
Steve McCormick Ohh noo. Did you replace the bolts whole clutch kit incl pressure plate. On these there are 3 different types of clutch kit. The difference is in the pressure plate.
@@WMCS Ok brilliant thank you very much, my main worry atm though is i can only afford a 2 piece clutch, how risky is it to fit this without the slave cylinder ?.
Poppy Lisa Saunders don’t do it ... the old CSC will not last ... it may fail straight away or it may work for a few months. .... a bit too risky in my opinion. Is your clutch completely gone ...
Poppy Lisa Saunders definitely sounds like the clutch plate itself... if you can don’t use an LUK CSC they are made of plastic and fails prematurely . Use an FTE it will last the life of the clutch.

Ali A thanks for your review it means a lot.
Is the smoke coming from the gearbox. Ie burnt clutch. Or is it coming from the exhaust. ...
Ali A does it go into all the gears with the engine switched off ...
I enjoy learning from these clutch videos thank u for uploading

i work on cars ,but mostly servicing and MOT testing ,i have done some clutches in the past ,i a diesel Zafira ,but dropped the subframe down ,have lent a lot from you already ,might have to do a Berlingo next
Alans Autos
Sometimes you have to partially drop one side if doing DMF.
Great advert for impact drill !
Tysoe Gaming 😂 that was the main reason I did the vids.
It would have been interesting to see how the clutch disc and the pressure plate are changed with so little space.
Nice viedo.
You did a lot of work to record from all angles. Today you earned a new subscriber. 🙂
Tell me please if it is the same procedure for a Corsa D?
Ionel Dima
Yes. Except the gear linkage might be slightly different
Hi is this the same for a 1.8 vvt vectra c?
Brilliant video mate! Helping out alot of people. Also bloddy brilliant at it!
I have a vauxhall/opel zafira 1.6life with f17+ transmission if i drain the gearbox completely do you know how much oil i need to put back in thanks bud!
stephen Gurd it’s about 3 litres.
Nice and smooth mate I commented on this vid on another channel I've always removed subframe just done this on a 1.6 zaffy aswell dropping the subframe my jaw hit the floor when you threw it on the sub can you let me know if you can do this method on the z19dth and z19dt 8v with m32 box
RICHARD Kerman I’ll make a video on Monday with a 1.9 m32 gearbox.
i have the same gun and hammer as you ,where did you get your impact sockets in that box from ? i have UJs similar as well
Alans Autos
All my tools are sealey PRO. They are all arranged in trays.
Another great video mate. Can I ask what is that red grease you use when putting it all back together ?
Markstevos
It’s red rubber grease. Stop rust and helps a lot in getting the gearbox back in.
@@WMCS thank you for taking the time to reply and cheers... Look forward to your next video!
Nice work
Thank you for the feedback. عبدالحميد ابوالقاسم
Good video angles. Have you got a video of a vauxhall insignia 2009 petrol clutch replacement or are they the same as a Zafira???
Subscribe and have a browse through the channel. Set up is the same as the diesel.
Subbed. 👍
Good work nice
shaff no thanks for the feedback
Brilliant video, how you got some of those angles with the camera I do not know. I'm having to change my gearbox this week on mine as it has died! I take it the subframe needs to com down to remove gearbox?
stephen williams the subframe can stay in place. Unless it’s a diesel then you’ll need to drop it about 5 inches. So
you can clear the DMF
stephen williams thanks for the feedback
So to remove the gearbox I can leave subframe in place??? It's gearbox and clutch that's failed on mine
stephen williams if your gearbox has failed then you’ll need to drop subframe on one side about 10inches.
And another subscriber, this time from Holland! I maybe doing the main (rear) cranckseal, so the clutch has to come off. How do you keep track of the bolts?
Thanks for your instructive vid!
M. Torn
Thanks for the feedback. Take them out in order.

In that case all the bolts that you take out screw them loosely back on. All the bolts on the back of the gearbox leave them in. Loose but don’t pull them out.
@@WMCS Great advice, thanks again!
M. Torn
Take care Tom from Holland. Hope the heatwave is not too bad your end.
@@WMCS We keep it cool (18 deg C ☀️). Have a nice weekend!
do you do gosport ???
Do you not check the bolts with hand tools after using the impact gun ?

There’s a point on the subframe.
good video, is that peugeot 307 clutch replacement ?

That is a Vauxhall zafira.

All petrol versions has a solid flywheel. ..,

Do you tighten with a dynamometric key

I just gauge it based on experience. But will always advise on using one.

Poppy Lisa Saunders it’s fairly straightforward them. Whilst doing it if ever you need some advice just drop us a message
@@WMCS Ok brilliant thank you very much, my main worry atm though is i can only afford a 2 piece clutch, how risky is it to fit this without the slave cylinder ?.
Poppy Lisa Saunders don’t do it ... the old CSC will not last ... it may fail straight away or it may work for a few months. .... a bit too risky in my opinion.
Is your clutch completely gone ...
@@WMCS Yeah it will drive slightly when cold for a few feet then no drive when in gear.
Poppy Lisa Saunders definitely sounds like the clutch plate itself... if you can don’t use an LUK CSC they are made of plastic and fails prematurely . Use an FTE it will last the life of the clutch.
