I would like to thank Kevin for this video tutorial as it saved me the expense of paying someone else to undertake the work. I followed the tutorial to change a clutch on a Mini Cooper R56 2007. It took me two full days to complete the work and admit it had its challenges. The notes below are not intended to discredit the video in any way but to point out my observations and experience to help others up for the challenge. (1) First of all rule No. 1 - disconnect the battery. I did not do this and ended up producing a massive spark. Fortunately, no damage was done. (2) I struggled to knock through the drive shafts from the wheel hubs. This took a lot of whacking with a heavy mallet and perseverance before these knocked through (video timings 8:54 and 10:25). Regarding loosening the hub nuts, this would be easier whilst the wheels are still on the ground to prevent the hub from moving. (3) Loosening the Clutch housing bolts required Torx/star socket sizes E10 and E12. There are two E10 bolts that hold in the starter motor. Although the top bolt is pointed out at timing 10:46, this was missed out in the video and was discovered when I was unable to remove the clutch housing. This bolt is a real challenge to remove but again can be done with a lot of perseverance and without removing the inlet manifold. It was not as time-consuming to put back (timing 39:49). Good luck with this bolt. (4) Once removed, I was unable to move the clutch housing as far apart as shown in the video, but managed to create enough space to replace both the lever and clutch plate. I used a Sachs branded clutch plate. (5) Removing a bracket next to the clutch cable bracket was missed out in the video - shown to the right in timing 19:14. Also this bracket and a cable shown in timing 20:26 were both missed out when putting the car back together. (6) I had some difficulty tightening the wheel hub bolts whilst on the stands (timings 42:30 and 45:02). I waited until the wheels were fitted and dropped to the ground before tightening. (7) Regarding the gearbox oil, I used 1.75 litres of 75W90. The oil quantity removed was measured to confirm the refill quantity (video timing 47:05) Apart from the minor points above, it is doable. I’m no car mechanic but do have the time, the tools and have some experience in fixing minor issues with cars. None of the above can take away the brilliantly filmed step-by-step video produced by Kevin.
I’m halfway through this job myself, and finding both the video and your notes very helpful, thanks both! So far I’ve discovered my car was probably stored in the sea (given how rusty it is lol) and that although the previous owner sprung for Brembo discs and pads, they tore one of the caliper piston seals - so I have a bit more work ahead on reassembly! (Took my brakes off whilst doing this as I need to replace the dust guards)
Just about to start this job, thank you for taking the time to follow up on Kevin's excellent video. Hats off to him and yourself for highlighting these steps.
@@caseypmazur take your time, put any bolt you take off back in it’s hole if you can, there’s so many bolts that you need to take off! You can do it all without removing the subframe but it’s much tighter! Good luck 👍🏻
I have been a mechanic for 40 years ,if a get a job on a car i have not done before i look at youtube for a few tims that i would have not thought of This bloke has got it down to a tee
I know this is an old video but wanted to comment! I have done many of the older mini clutches, which are similar as you know. But I have never done one without completely removing the gearbox. I never thought about pushing the box into the gap - I do other cars with full subframes like that but never tried it with a mini. Good to see you can do it this way and without removing the coolant and air con gas! Your videos are great to get a few good short cut tips, so thank you! Watching you do some of the clutches on the floor is surprising - I’m smaller build so I have to have help to remove larger gearboxes, and lots of different jacks! Not quite as awesome as yourself! 👍🏼
When I saw the title of this video I thought its a mini of with the front end. Never done one myself but can imagine it's quite labour intensive. Great job.
125 SM this one was just a re cap on an easier method to replace the clutch. But replacing the box the whole front end has to come out ... Still busy your end ..?
It takes a lot of effort to film a complete job like this, repositioning the camera every few seconds and/or minutes especially when it's an outdoor job like this and you just want to get it done. Great video, thanks very much.
Ahhh... inspiration to get the one I am looking at. Needs a clutch replacement and I was looking for the motivation to do it in my driveway. Looks like I found it! Nice.
Thanks Kevin! I followed your video for the most part but I used an engine hoist to get the tranny back in. My bench press is not what it used to be. Anyhow, it went well, I start the car and the horn goes off. Stupid Mini used the same plug for the two horns and the side light so I flipped it and now all is well. Thanks! I sent you £10 for a beer (a few weeks ago when I decided to take this on). Thanks again mate!
Thanks Man! This answered a few questions I had moving forward on my car. Taking my time and getting some rust out of the way while I have things out. Thanks again from New England.
I'm not sure if this makes me want to do the job myself or not 😂. Great to see a clean navigation of the process - thanks! I have all the tools/etc to do it, but when the time comes I can't say I'm looking forward to his many things you have to dig through to start the actual job...
Not the easiest car... A lot of removals. Congratulations for your videos and for your great and hard job. You are very well organized and efficient, even with sometimes the typical British weather :-)! I learn a lot about so many car types. Many thanks for that and the time you spend recording those videos. Cheers from Toulouse, south of France.
Max Attack glad to hear you’ve tackled this before. I thought I’d show this easy method without fully removing the front end... on the channel there’s other videos of the full gearbox out method Still not a bad repair... hope you’re keeping busy your end.
Kevin, its amazing you can do this work on the fly like that. I just followed your steps and replaced my clutch in my driveway. When I went to drive it I couldn’t go from neutral to reverse. The gears shift fine when the engine is not running. So I replaced the clutch slave cylinder and bleed it numerous ways but I have to get in reverse when it’s not running. I start it up that way and can drive but shifting is tight, it’s like the clutch is not disengagement fully to get a smooth shift. I’m about ready to bring it to a BMW shop. Have you or anyone have this problem after replacing the clutch. Thanks
Hello Anyone know if you have too drain the gearbox oil when doing this job? Is it done to reduce the weight of the gearbox when man handling it off the engine and then reinstalling it? Or is it just good practice to replace the the gearbox oil when you fit a new clutch? Great video by the way many thanks for taking the time to make it and share it.
Hi Kevin, thanks for posting videos on your channel. I could watch them for ages! The lack of talking and music makes them immersive to watch and I like the way you let your work do the talking. I've got questions if you dont mind?!?! 1) If you did this today would you use your quickjack or still just use axle stands? 2) I cant quite figure out how you drop the subframe and whether it affects the steering rack, dogbone engine mount and the steering column pinch bolt. It looks like you mainly slacken only the gearbox side of the subframe, leaving the steering rack fixed to the subframe and steering column, and the subframe just droops a bit on one side? 3) My partner has a 2010 mini cooper 1.6 petrol. I'll find out if its a dual mass flywheel. If it is, would you always replace with the clutch? Its done 116,000 miles.
From NYC Thanks William for your video, easy you are the best, I fix my car clutch just see your video, btw sometimes I don’t see what side driver or passenger, bc the view without close caption (cc); but it’s fine thanks again.
Hello Kevin, I have a question for you. I have the same car and I replaced the clutch with a luk one. I have a ticking/squeaking noise in neutral and the noise goes away when pedal clutch is pressed just a little bit, same noise when in gear and moving. The noise is fairly loud. What it could be?
I have done it once but end it up taking the whole transmission out. I like your way leaving it hanging on the subframe and having that special pilot bushing tool that screws in tightly. I felt you weren't tightening the bolts enough and for some not using torque wrench lol....
You earn your money, that's one heck of a job just to change a clutch. Some engineers should have to spend a year working in the workshop before they are allowed to design anything! Fair play to you, you show no fear! 👍
Think I can answer my own question here just watched another video posted by a guy in the US on how to remove drive shafts. He never drained the gearbox and on removing the first shaft gearbox oil came flowing out. So guess it is a yes to draining the gearbox.
Thanks for the vid!!! Lot of good tips saving work that you don't have to do. I'll be doing mine (2008 mini cooper clubman 1.6L) in the spring if it lasts that long.
Mike McChesney it’s definitely a quicker way to get the clutch out. Rather than take the front out completely... with a few good tools you’ll get through it alright ... let us know how you get on.
Hi Mr. Kevin: Hope everything is o.k. these days. Thanks for your videos and for sharing your knowledge. I Have a 2016 Countryman S All4. Do I follow the same steps, or there is something different? Thanks again.
at 7:36 i have torx bolts and my will to live is leaving me trying to get it off, oh yeah and my drive shafts aint budging from the hubs so struts off, bloody nightmare
another cracking video kevin, same car as my mabel pity your too far away from me here in margate because i would definately be getting you on the case when the time comes!!.
colintx800 this is a very easy way of doing it. ... the other method is to fully remove the front end. As can be seen in the channel with the other mini. Hope you’re keeping well your end.
@@WMCS Just watched that video and I could imagine the owner coming out and saying WTF did you do to my car? 😂 Yeah this way is a lot easier :) Yeah man I'm alright, I hope you're happy and doing well 👍
colintx800 😆😁... yeh definitely an easier way for just changing the clutch. .. Unless the gearbox is knackered... then.. well you know how it goes. Whole front end off ..😁
It is necessary.., otherwise the gearbox isn’t coming out. And you’ll end up getting stuck halfway which will make things worse to retrace back to taking front end off.
@@WMCS going well so far. Flywheel and rear main seal all replaced. Frozen axle and a couple of stripped bolts were all resolved. Will be wrapping up shortly, stalled due to no thread locker for flywheel bolts.
do you also carry around cv boots as I would guess you probably have seen many of them split and do you replace the or advise the customer, just curious about how you work
Jarrus Killa anything I see I only advise ... I don’t do anything else apart from just replacing the clutch. Time is of the essence being a mobile mechanic. As you can’t afford to leave a car stripped down ... it has to be done on the same day.
Got a clutch to do on a 03 plate mini one diesel? Any difference between the petrol or diesel when it comes to removing gearbox? Subframe out or just lower it?
Cobweb central, how long has that car been sat doing nothing? What a pig to work on, much nicer vehicle in the background! Very old style release mechanism, looks like the one in my old Capri ! Now there was an easy clutch to do 👍. What do all the bolts way back in the body do?

Having done one on a ramp not a nice job let alone on the floor, as I’ve said before this guy earns his money. Mini or should we say small BMW are awful to work on .
Chris Thackray definitely a bit involved in this one. ... thought I’d make this one video without having to remove the complete front end. So no disconnect coolant hoses ...or AC De gass... thanks always for your feedback

I did a clutch replacement this way on my 2008 KIA Rio but didn't have to remove any body trim.

Great video, I was just wondering, does the gearbox wedge up ok or do you hold it in with something?
I hold it with bungee rope
Based on the video, that flywheel was an aftermarket and you just installed Valeo aftermarket pressure plate and disc?
Can u still put axel stands on the sill and still okay ?
Great work! Would this method also work for 2012 Mini with N16B16 engine? Also is there difference if the car is left hand drive?

Nice one, thanks. Some great tips there.
I also noticed you filled the transmission fluid from the top little fill cap? is that possible? Or it was for something else?
Any idea how much the transmission weighs when you bench press it off? I'm at that point on a 2010 Cooper. Just a little nervous to be under it.
Looks like 95 pounds. Keep up the great work!
