Im not a mechanic but I do a lot of the work my cars and some other minor things on friends and families cars. I get most of my knowledge from a friend who owns a shop and from youtube. You sir, have contributed to this. Next week I will be doing this exact job on my brother's 1.2 grande punto and I knew this was doable and im going to make it but you make this look easy. Thank you. Last week I ribuilt his entire suspension, front frame, valver cover gasket. I really love wrenching hehe
This video is so helpful ! I'm doing this one tomorrow for a friend, looks way easier than the PSA 1.6 HDI that I did last time and took me forever... !! There is so much space to work and looks like all bolts are easy to access ! Will be fun ! thx again !
Great Video!! I'm doing the clutch on my sons 1.2 2004 punto next week so I doubt it will be any different. I was looking for a concise, no BS video..... this was it!! Cheers.
How did you get on with it? I've tackled a few jobs on my Grande Punto (Kwik Fit want £240 for front brake and pads... lol), but this job looks very involved
Many thanks mate Just done this job . Your video made it a doddle . Respect for lifting that gear box in on your own .Im to unfit for that two of us used a big trolley jack and it went in no probs .
Nice Video - just so happens i picked up a pre face lift punto yesterday to do the clutch on it, presumably the same process as its the same engine! Thanks for the video!
Grande Kevin!!!!!, trabajas muy bien y rápido, viéndote a ti mañana sacare la caja de cambios de mi fiat doblo, para revisarla y también para sacar el cigueñal que me encontré con un metal en muy malas condiciones, sigue así y Dios te premiará, un saludo afectuoso desde Viña del Mar-Chile
Another excellent video, I have just bought one of these for my daughter so was doing some research on potential jobs in the future, you make it look far too easy, you cant replicate experience and skill, well done!
@Artyom so I moved the transmission lever where the cables attach to the gear shifter ... They are not connected and now I'm not sure what gear the transmission is in 🙁 I'm worried that maybe when I do connect them that the transmission will be in 3rd and the gear selector in 1st...
@Artyom yes everythingis attached in the photo you sent me and it's just disconnected at the transmission lever heres a screen shot basically what I highlighted moves left right and outward. Sorry as I'm probably confusing asf but that's the lever on the transmission I'm talking about that the shifter cable would attach to I moved that lever on the trans and now I'm curious as to what gear the transmission is in ibb.co/3BYTS41
@Artyom sweet so big level with weights upright at 12oclock which is neutral and the small one points towards drivers cab area ? Does it matter if it's pulled out and straight Regardless I really appreciate you man. One last thing does ur book mention anything about allignment of the clutch? Got the kit without the tool and I'm doubting my eyeballs because coworker lined it up for me but I think he's off and it's not straight
@Kevin Williams . Thanks to you I got my new clutch installed 👍😃 I seem to have a leaking seal where one of the driveshafts is pushed into the gearbox. Can all of the transmission oil escape from that faulty seal? Kind regards, Joe
Kevin Williams Thank you! I checked the oil level tonight. And the level is just a little bit below the fill plug hole. I am beginning to think that I might have overfilled the gearbox. And the excess oil might have escaped through some "excess/overflow valve"?
@Kevin-Albert Williams . I found a leak from the driverside, leftside overhere, is it called transaxle seal? From were the driveshaft goes into the gearbox. The tie-rod end also seem a bit wiggly. Im wondering about if I should also buy a complete driveshaft with tie rod ends, or if replacing the seal could fix the whole problem. Not easy to answer, I know 😅 Best regards, Joe
that is the best demo i have seen keep it up thanks r u useing the four axle stands or two also i am going to change back shocks is there a way of getting top nut undone without useing special spanner
(ENG:) You see it's your job. Kevin you are very good with all cars. I allow myself to ask you a question, and if you answer me, I would be grateful, because I should do the clutch at the GP exactly as you do, not having a bridge or pit, I'll do it from below, how long does it take you? Thanks (ITA: Si vede che è il tuo lavoro. Kevin sei bravissimo con tutte le auto. Mi permetto nel farti una domanda, e se mi rispondi, te ne sarei grato, perchè dovrei fare la frizione alla GP esattamente come fai tu, non avendo un ponte o fossa, la farò da sotto, quanto tempo ci impieghi tu? Grazie)
Love those straightforward videoes of yours. I'm a diy and just done a clutch on my sons 1.2 Punto Evo. Unfortunately the 5th gear now won't engage at all, won't even crunch. What do you think I've done wrong? 😂 All othet gears are ok and clutch works great.
Top ones are very easy, just support the engine or gearbox (depends which side you are doing) with jack. Central/bottom one (differential mount, "dogbone") is a bit harder, but still doable at home, you just need to use more force, and more tools (restricted access to 1 or 2 bolts - because exhaust pipe - "E" type socket will not fit, you need "E" spanner).
@@qwertyuiop2895 In emergency you can do hack job using regular hex tools. For example 14 mm hex (and/or 12 points) will do the "E" series bolts here ("dogbone" mount), but this is sketchy and "method" may fail.
Cheers for the video , helps a lot! Mates gonna scrap his Punto cause the clutch is gone , so I’m gonna buy it , fix it and sell it on. How long did this take you in total? Mine might be a bit quicker cause I’ve got a ramp 😂
You need an alignment tool. Worst case I've made do with a deep socket then wrapped even layers of electrical tape round to align some in the past. Ghetto - but it worked perfectly!
Hey, great video thanks, I have question my grand punto 2007 won't go into a 5th gear when I trying it's making a lot of crushing noise, and when car is running on neutral some sound comes up but when I press clutch it disappears, so do you have Idea it's clutch or it's gearbox fault?
It sounds like the gearbox synchromesh. Based on the description you’ve given .., If it’s broken it may be getting chewed up by the gears. Hence the noise
Neil Lindenberg I’ve got one on Monday next week. Will try and get a video up. No promises as I’m getting into the busy season now... where I’m doing 2 to 3 clutches a day...
In my years I’ve never skimmed a solid flywheel. The clutch plate has built in springs and dampers to pick up any sort of imperfection from the flywheel surface. Even then we’re talking a friction plate agains solid metal .. so no need.
@@WMCS Thanks for your answer. I'm asking this because i'm planning to do this replacement, because i have a slight vibration from the engine when idling. Otherwise the engine is running fine. And when i'm pulling away, the car judders violently. I have to play with the clutch, or release it very slowly, or give more throttle if i don't want the car to stall. This is only in 1. gear, other gears are fine, when the car is moving, i have no problems with clutch. The clutch has been changed 2 years ago because this judder issue, i thouhght that the clutch was dying since it was still the original. But the replacement was probably a cheap shit from China. After the change it was ok for a year maybe. Now i have this juddering again, and slight vibration when idling. That is why i'm asking, cannot be that the flywheel is not perfectly aligned, that is why it vibrates, and that's why the whole engine judders when the clutch is starting to bite. I bought a more expensive clutch set, but i don't want to put it in until i find out what is wrong.... Thoughts?
Ok I’m with you now.., one of two things. The clutch kit was of poor quality. 1.The pressure plate is not squeezing the clutch against the flywheel., faulty pressure plate. 2. Worst case is the flywheel May be warped., Once you take the clutch out use a DTI Gauge to check run out on flywheel.
@@WMCS Thanks, this is what i was thinking in the first place, shitty noname clutch set. After the replacement it was fine for a few thousands KM. But i was thinking, even if the clutch is bad, the engine should not have any vibration when idling, the clutch is not touching the flywhell in neutral... That is why i suspecting a warped flywheel. But i have no idea why and how the flywheel can be warped??? BTW i checked all 3 engine mountings, especially the bottom one which is holding the transmission, but they are absolutely fine. Strange. Maybe one of crankshaft bearings is dying? In that case the whole crankshaft would have a little play, causing the vibration of the flywheel... Anyway, i will get a DTI gauge and try to measure, i will be smarter after the transmission is disassembled. Thanks!
@@a.f.1587 Got any weird noises from the gearbox? The 1.2/1.4 versions of these like to eat gearbox input bearings. Only about £30 for the parts, but box has to come off and be opened up to replace it.
when putting back together do any bolts have to have a torque setting or not and when you r puting gear box back i sea a lug pointing out of egde like bolt it this to make sure box goes on inline thanks again
philip coughlan torque settings on these are pretty much as tight as the arm can do them up. Those lugs you are referring to are guide studs. They help in getting the box align fairly straight on
Cheers pal, good job that I'm about to do. Can I ask you to list the nuts and bolt sizes? I'm gudessing I'll need an 10,12,13, 15,17, 19 and a star socket for the mount? Is that about right? I think I've got all of them plus most inbetween but there nothing fancy that I'd need extra, cheers. You did that well btw, head down and get it done. I'd employ you easy.
very interesting video but 2:18 when i saw the rusty under side i got a shock! the spaghetti pump breaks apart in pieces!! in germany the TÜV gives never the sticker!!!
Hi I have the exact same model car and it’s making a grinding noise every time I select third gear and doesn’t work at all should I buy a new gear box and fit it myself or have someone try to repair the one I have??
Aidan King if you’ve got the correct tools and the right skill set. It should take no more than 3 hours. If you’re a weekend mechanic. Give yourself a whole day.. And take caution when taking out the box.
Great video. I'll be paying $1,700.00 next week to get my 2012 500 fixed. My memory isn't very good or I'd try this myself. You think that's a fair price?
would it make it easter for me to remove air filter and battary not a mechanic but have done diy on other cars but not this one thanks for the quick reply and help you have gave me
Hi, done one today, where do they buy their bolts and nuts : 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 🤣 Usually you remove the studs, but not this time for the one close to the starter Thank you 🍻
ibraheem younas it’s quite out of our coverage area we cover about 70 miles from Bedfordshire.... but if the repair is big enough I’ll definitely make my way up there ...
Hello everyone, i have one issue with this clutch...changed it, whole kit, and now when i want to start from 1st or reverse by releasing clutch pedal only, slowly, my engine is shaking and jumping...also when i try to burn out tyres a little 😈 add gas pedal to the metal, and fast release clutch pedal, and i have got engine shakings while fast start like that....what is problem with that new clutch? Im driving it about 3000 km for now and its same from day 1...flywheel is not resurfaced, can it be problem, or some instalation mistake...or bad parts!?
The only reason I ask is I always use AP for these cars. I’ve had similar issues in the past and found out it was the thrust bearing ..,, was it doing it before you replaced the clutch
@@WMCS yes but a much more, it was issue with pressure plate, that was original 1st clutch with 190 000 km on it...so, if it is thrust bearing problem, it will never bedd in, thats it? I was hoping it need time to adapt on flywheele or something like that...but after 2500 km its pretty same...so my friend, how much can i drive with clutch like this, safely, can it last long?
If the thrust bearing locator is slightly out or not sitting true. It will give you a judder. But on hear change only. If it’s constant. Then you’re looking more in the line of pressure plate.
This is natural part of the trade (mechanic etc.), you just know where the parts/bolts go. It's like "muscle memory" in sports (you don't think, you just do, perform the technique).
Carlos Tellier there was quite a bit on that one ... it’s usually dry rust from the clutch plate... thanks for visiting the channel and for the feedback...
Search One Life Live it on TH-cam, he does grande punto videos by request, Of you ask him about making a video about changing the timing belt I’m sure he will do one 👍
Hello, good video, I have a Fiat Punto evo 2010 and the same job was done to change the clutch, but now the changes come harder and are not in the same place as before, could you help me?
its possible to change clutch without gearbox removing. unscrew driveshafts, gearbox. move gearbox from engine a little bit. no need to unscrew arms and remove driveshafts
Great video, followed to the letter but now have a soft clutch pedal and crunches in reverse and hard to select any gears, do I need to bleed the clutch, can anyone help
If you did not disconnect the slave cylinder and the piston for it did not pop out and you lose any fluid you won’t have to bleed it out. If that’s the case it sounds like my 1st comment about the release baring on the fork came off.
@@johncoady9237 All passenger cars are similar. So, what's the "problem" here? Take the tools and just start doing it (repair). Don't wait for specific instructional video (or blog, or fiat forum guide).
jooo bro my punto wont shift into fifth gear and reverse after i changed the clutch something about my cables my gearstick is pulling right instead of going central i can only reach 1, 2, 3 and 4th gear
I wonder why the plastic engine and wheel-well shields are missing. They cover the entire lower area and specifically protect the engine from water/slush/snow :)
@@VortechBand Because it depends on the engine type, version. Some were equipped with shields, some not (originally, from the factory). Adding them is up to user.
Pig of a job for something so simple. Nicely done though mate. My gear selector is leaking so that's a gearbox out job. Might as well do the clutch too.
@@WMCS I moved the shift lever on the transmission not the gear selector and I'm not sure which gear it's in now. 🤣😂 One of the other guys tried to help me out
@@WMCS Damn, thats more than I thought. How you lift it out, it looks like 25kg or so. I am a skinny guy hence I will need company to replace the clutch it seems

Aidan King if you’ve got the correct tools and the right skill set. It should take no more than 3 hours. If you’re a weekend mechanic. Give yourself a whole day.. And take caution when taking out the box.
As a weekend DIY job, slowly, tea/coffee breaks = 8 h (from parking the car to the test drive).
Great video. I'll be paying $1,700.00 next week to get my 2012 500 fixed. My memory isn't very good or I'd try this myself. You think that's a fair price?
Ouff ., you can’t be serious right ..!
£1700 that’s the price of two of these cars fully running with a good clutch and engine.
did you have to remove starter motor
philip coughlan
Just unbolt it.
Eu quero saber qual e o óleo que usa no frasco de de embraiagem do Fiat Punto
Hi there I'm missing some nuts and bolds from my previous clutch job...can you help me by telling me the sizes
Great video mate, is this the exact same process on a diesel? Cheers
Matt Allman
Yes the gearbox process is exactly the same.
The process is always >90% the same in all passenger cars. There's no point in asking such things.
did you have to remove batary and batary shelf
All work was carried out as seen. From underneath. Only because I know exactly where things are.
would it make it easter for me to remove air filter and battary not a mechanic but have done diy on other cars but not this one thanks for the quick reply and help you have gave me
philip coughlan
It probably would if you are an mid range mechanic. Then you can see what you are doing exactly.
Hi, done one today, where do they buy their bolts and nuts : 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 🤣
Usually you remove the studs, but not this time for the one close to the starter
Thank you 🍻
Honestly the assortment of bolts size drives me nuts. 🔩
For the life of me I can’t understand this Italian spaghetti 🍝
Double pun 😁
Hi mate, is the same gearbox as Ford ka 1.2 2009?
Yes that’s it.
Hi mate where exactly are you based? And I’m just wondering if your a mobile mechanic?
ibraheem younas we cover quite a wide range in radius. What’s your postcode please
Bl32lz
ibraheem younas it’s quite out of our coverage area we cover about 70 miles from Bedfordshire.... but if the repair is big enough I’ll definitely make my way up there ...
Hello everyone, i have one issue with this clutch...changed it, whole kit, and now when i want to start from 1st or reverse by releasing clutch pedal only, slowly, my engine is shaking and jumping...also when i try to burn out tyres a little 😈 add gas pedal to the metal, and fast release clutch pedal, and i have got engine shakings while fast start like that....what is problem with that new clutch? Im driving it about 3000 km for now and its same from day 1...flywheel is not resurfaced, can it be problem, or some instalation mistake...or bad parts!?
What make clutch did you use
@@WMCS you mean brand? LUK RepSet ?!
The only reason I ask is I always use AP for these cars. I’ve had similar issues in the past and found out it was the thrust bearing ..,, was it doing it before you replaced the clutch
@@WMCS yes but a much more, it was issue with pressure plate, that was original 1st clutch with 190 000 km on it...so, if it is thrust bearing problem, it will never bedd in, thats it? I was hoping it need time to adapt on flywheele or something like that...but after 2500 km its pretty same...so my friend, how much can i drive with clutch like this, safely, can it last long?
If the thrust bearing locator is slightly out or not sitting true. It will give you a judder. But on hear change only. If it’s constant. Then you’re looking more in the line of pressure plate.
Always amazes me how you know which bolt goes where when you're putting the thing back together 😂
This is natural part of the trade (mechanic etc.), you just know where the parts/bolts go.
It's like "muscle memory" in sports (you don't think, you just do, perform the technique).
Jesus, look at all that rust...
Carlos Tellier there was quite a bit on that one ... it’s usually dry rust from the clutch plate... thanks for visiting the channel and for the feedback...
Can you do video of belt change on this model please
Philip Coughlan
I only do Clutches mate.
Search One Life Live it on TH-cam, he does grande punto videos by request, Of you ask him about making a video about changing the timing belt I’m sure he will do one 👍
Hello, good video, I have a Fiat Punto evo 2010 and the same job was done to change the clutch, but now the changes come harder and are not in the same place as before, could you help me?
Byron Gabela is it the gear lever post that’s not in the correct place.
its possible to change clutch without gearbox removing. unscrew driveshafts, gearbox. move gearbox from engine a little bit. no need to unscrew arms and remove driveshafts
Dipl100 Qwer that won’t be possible. You may cause damage to the transfer gears if the driveshaft is still in and being forced on.
Great video, followed to the letter but now have a soft clutch pedal and crunches in reverse and hard to select any gears, do I need to bleed the clutch, can anyone help
Declan Edwards sounds like the clutch (fork arm) baring came off when you put the box back on.
If you did not disconnect the slave cylinder and the piston for it did not pop out and you lose any fluid you won’t have to bleed it out.
If that’s the case it sounds like my 1st comment about the release baring on the fork came off.
Hi Kevin, would you know if the stilo is same as these can't seem to find anything on my son's fiat stilo 1.4 petrol,,,clutch replacement, cheers john
Sorry Kevin did you reply I can't see anything
@@johncoady9237 All passenger cars are similar. So, what's the "problem" here? Take the tools and just start doing it (repair). Don't wait for specific instructional video (or blog, or fiat forum guide).
There is no problem I was only asking for advice,I done it anyway last week
jooo bro my punto wont shift into fifth gear and reverse
after i changed the clutch
something about my cables
my gearstick is pulling right instead of going central
i can only reach 1, 2, 3 and 4th gear
Are they in the correct slot. Not mixed up or anything.✨✨🍻
@@WMCS what u mean?
How much you charge for that job I have 2006 fiat punto
www.williamsmobileclutch.co.uk
I have send the form last night só I'm waiting for your response
That gearbox looks a lot like a fiat 500 or KA
This is classic Fiat gearbox (C514... series), design from the 80's. Used in multiple models.
Omg what a rust
I wonder why the plastic engine and wheel-well shields are missing. They cover the entire lower area and specifically protect the engine from water/slush/snow :)
@@VortechBand Because it depends on the engine type, version. Some were equipped with shields, some not (originally, from the factory). Adding them is up to user.
Pig of a job for something so simple. Nicely done though mate. My gear selector is leaking so that's a gearbox out job. Might as well do the clutch too.
Hey man I got a question about this and it's stressing me out.
Hey Ollie. ... what’s the question ...
@@WMCS I moved the shift lever on the transmission not the gear selector and I'm not sure which gear it's in now. 🤣😂
One of the other guys tried to help me out
😂
Looks so easy but it is not, can't believe that any bolt wasn't seezed/rusted
Atetus94 definitely plenty of WD40 to start with
It IS easy. This is simple car, perfect for DIY.
This is the same process at fiat panda 1.2? (2010) . And why you not films the clutch himself replacement ?
The process is almost the same in every passenger car in the world. No point in asking such things.
Where is clutch replacement? You just took transmission out and back in.
These were the early days videos.
Have a look though the channel for actual clutch replacement
@@WMCS Thanks I just did. Great job man.
How much does the gearbox on this car weigh?
About 40-50KG roughly.
@@WMCS Damn, thats more than I thought. How you lift it out, it looks like 25kg or so. I am a skinny guy hence I will need company to replace the clutch it seems
Done mine few months ago (faulty gearbox swap, not clutch). Weight is only 30 kg!
