    I used to love the old Vauxhall's that had the inspection cover underneath were you pulled the input shaft out and dropped the clutch through the inspection cover, clutch replaced in a hour.

      @Sprograt - I had one of them and yes it did take an hour from start to finish!

    I've done my gearbox and clutch over the past 2 days. Never done it before but it feels so much better. Watching videos like yours helps alot. I couldn't lift it kn though on my own but somehow had to manage. If I ever have to donit again I'll be getting an engine support hoist. Cheers guys. Keep the videos coming

      Haha, used an engine hoist very useful... but the gearbox took me over an hour to get in... Then, I remembered. There in the boot was my solution, a transmission cradle that mounts on the jack☺️ Only problem? I forgot I'd bought it😏🤪

    Just did my clutch on my 2017 astra, the clutch was made by LUK and the pressure plate by sachs, both with gm printed on them too. The clutch pedal was light after replacing too, it felt weird but it works perfectly

  • @MalteseMafia

    Great piece of fault finding, finding the root cause, LUK clutches are the best, they were supplied to Engine Assembly at Ford Engine Plant when I worked there. 👍

    That’s a new one on me, too. put it in fourth gear with e brake on and try to pull away. If the engine stalls, it’s ok.

    Ive got a problem with my car hopefully someone can help.. When driving I get a growling clicking noise coming from wat I believe is the gearbox or diff or final drive area it sounds like a bad wheel bearing to be honest.. But when I'm driving a dip the clutch the noise goes away does this sound like clutch or gearbox..it's a 1.8 vauxhall zafira petrol and I belive its the f17 box she's got..

    Really like the video, have subscribed, big vauxhall enthusiest, but... had a few comments i hoped you would clear up... what size socket did you use to centralise the friction plate? Light clutch can be air in hydraulics but you never mentioned the bleeding of the clutch. You suspecred the gearbox 'but' then found an issue with the clutch... and then changed the gearbox anyways, so I am a little confused what the root cause of your problem was. Love the array of vauxhall you had in the drive, I will ignore the ford 👀 lol

    great video fellas. I am getting ready to change out my clutch. Was wondering if there is an improved clutch friction disc from the one you all took out? Did you use an alignment tool? Did you use new pressure plate bolts? I have an F17 gearbox in meh Chevy Sonic 1.8L. Thanks again.

    1:28 That hose going into the bell housing, dead center, under the big coolant hose. It was easy enough to remove, but how are you supposed to put it back on ? The part is secured with some kind of pin that I just can't get back in. The angle being quite awkward doesn't help either.

    just found your channel
    I’ve a mk5 twin top with grinding into reverse and a pig to select gears replaced linkage re bled clutch but still the same with wheels off the ground press clutch grinding into reverse and starts rotating wheels almost as if input shaft is seized to spigot bearing in flywheel
    Was doubting gear box out on it but after seeing that the sub frame is easy to drop I might take it on myself and replace bushes in it at the same time along with wish bone bushes

      possibly dumping clutch at traffic light GP before you purchased the car caused it 🤔😉

    Just a quick question,to your knowledge is it the F17 gearbox that's fitted to my 03 plate 1.7 Dti (Isuzu) Astra van ? Or is it the f23 box

    • @Magnettik
      @Magnettik 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know this is old, so you've probably figured it out by now, but just in case someone with the same question finds this thread :
      If I'm not mistaken, the F17 has the reverse gear next to first when you shift, while the F23 has reverse next to fourth (unfortunately).

      @compostcorner5934 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Magnettik Thanks bud ,yes I managed to get what I believe was the right info ..The F17 Is the ' push down left and forward 'next to first gear ..so you are right .
      The Gearbox in my van is fine ,no bearing whines or anything the only problem is first gear is a bit awkward to select in cold weather (which I think is normal )it's fine when warm ..I need to check the GB oil though soon

    LUK are better clutches. They actually supply them to Vauxhall from factory.
    Passenger side brake disk looks a bit scored.
    Looks good with the 17" coupe wheels.
    Are you going to get rid of that horrible tow bar too? It spoils the lines of the car. And hope it wasn't used to tow a caravan it could explain the clutch.
