In we have a Subaru Impreza for a Clutch replacement. Unfortunately for this owner, something very important had failed, causing the clutch to become unusable. From what I can remember, he got stuck and was recovered (correct me owner if im wrong). Now, the question is, did we manage to do the job for him, or did we fail him as a new customer. Stay tuned to find out!

That is very good advice about checking the clutch fits the gearbox shaft, never just assume that the parts store have given you the right part. Learned that lesson myself many years ago changing the clutch on my old MK3 Cortina - in that case the centre of the clutch was bigger than the gearbox shaft - so I was able to put the gearbox back on, along with the propshaft, exhaust etc. Only to find out I had no drive. Had to do the whole job again! So great advice.
Taking a job on like that with axle stands only giving you limited access says a lot about you , great ability great attitude with no pressure. If you lived in my area ( north west England ) I would without doubt use your services. A first class job was completed on that Subaru by you and your team .
Theirs another way?
I know you can get those scissor style lifts that dont require posts, I've got some, however they are a pita to use as a mobile mechanic, I originally bought mine for that and they lasted a week before they ended up in my workshop under my projects only, I am debating building them into a trailer tho but I've never seen another mobile mechanic with a rig like that so am sincerely interested in what alternatives you might know about?
Great compliment- thank you!
I really would love to meet you someday matey! 😂
That's your trouble right there. You've got a John in your engine 🤣
He once got me scared because cause he blew a vape under the car after a Cambelt replacement 😂
EXEDY and AISIN are the OEM supplier to most Japanese brands. Ridex are the cheapest on Autodoc and should thus be avoided!
The Sachs kit is only £142 and LUK £160, (before trade discount)
You said it, Can't learn something if you never do it.
If you get that problem again where it's stuck on a dowel, you can tap a thread into the nearest bolt hole and wind a bolt in to jack it off the Dowel. Just make sure to slip a bit of shim between box and engine to protect the thread on the engine side. Hope this helps you.
I'm pretty sure the subaru garage behind or place used to take the engines forward to do clutches on these as its quicker.
5:25 This is really clever by putting the wheels under the car as a Secondary safety measure, Because if the car fell off, then these wheels will keep breathing space under the car at least.
This is really a Dangerous job.
Please carry in your van 4 Wooden blocks, each 2 feet high. Then put those under the car after lifting it.
You guys do great work, we need mechanics like you all over here.
Doing a clutch on axle stands is a nightmare. I'd not do one without a lift nowadays.
Even when doing a difficult job you guys have great banter. I did notice a lot of genital crush injuries taking place lol.
Have to mate, otherwise it will just more stressful and makes it more less of a job
nice work! on a pain of a job !! subi gearboxes are always corroded onto the block and require lots of persuasion , I always remove the bottom two studs as the gearbox binds on those and makes it harder
As it is a major labour intensive job always pays to use quality parts such as LUk,Valeo ,Sachs,Exede etc.
Read somewhere they changed the alternator of a
PORSCHE BOXTER with a Ridex unit (Chinese) and it failed after a few months!They had to replace again with a genuine Bosch unit.
Can confirm. Had really bad expierience with Ridex clutches. Had to replace it again, but this time I paid a bit more and got Luk instead.
Valeo is not "Valeo". Bought 2 different Valeo clutch sets for my car. Both did fit. One was MADE IN FRANCE the other MADE IN TUNESIA. Big difference in quality. Sent the african back. So there might even be notable quality differences within the same brand. Price difference was 7 Euro 😮. Why did I order two clutch sets? Sometimes there are slight differences and you will have to compare with the old parts. In my case there were no differences in size - only in quality.
You guys are awesome to watch
Makes the video fun to watch
Keep it going ❤
Excellent work...👍.
You got a good working team respect to you all.
Thank you!
No worries boss man 👍
Great job boys, those Subaru's do sound good 👍
another great team job well done.
Lucky it wasn't a pull type release, they are a big pain, I heard.
Good work. 😊
I love your videos you all work so hard , and at the same time you bring a smile to my face. , thank you boys. ,👍🚗
Great job ,not easy 👏
Well done on how well you have build your channel and now some sponsorship from a big company,amazing work mate
Thank you mate! We will have to keep pushing. Hoping for more 💪🏽
Well done on that job ive done that job twice since being mobile and both times bellhousing stuck on the dowls
I would recommend using a gearbox stand to lower the box
Also more space needed get your selves some sgs 3 ton axle stands they are perfect for more clearance
Wonderful fitting a clutch on your back
The look @14:10....priceless...Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you 😁
that burn on john looked like ringworm, haha. bless him.
I wouldn't be fitting a Ridex clutch in a 4WD Subaru it's asking for trouble, I wouldnt fit anything other than OEM or a LUK 3 piece kit.
"I got two kids already so I guess it's alright" 🤣🤣🤣
In 20 or more years ive never had issues with an Luk clutch ...against my better judgement put a Partco clutch in a transit a few years ago ..took it back out sameday😂😂😂😂😊
I use ridex from time to time , I do a lot of the same cars so some times I have parts from 2/3 brand to compair and I can say ridex is Allright some times there identical with other brand same markings everthing
hats off to you kabayan, job well done
Thank you po!
Big up from Scotland
You are all a skilled and comedic
We got John to cover that comedic part
Well done sa mga hard work nyo.. it's paying off mga pogi.
Thank you!
another solid video :)
Thank you!
Why do some manufacturers make release bearings out of plastic that melts seems daft.
To be fair, they normally melt because the bearing is already shot, rather than the other way around. Ball race itself is dry or otherwise worn and is generates a lot of heat, in which case you need to replace the complete bearing anyway.
When I did this job ,we removed rad pack and moved engine forward gives you just enough space to change the clutch ,still a days work 😂😂😂
Hey, cool videos. How long did it take you to qualify and what was the course called? Did you do an apprenticeship? Sorry if these are stupid questions. Just wanted to know how someone can pursue this career path. Thanks.
did my impreza at home on stands the cheap nasty throw out bearing did the same thing. wasnt that bad of a job to do
Top video mate, where do you get torque settings and procedures from out of interest, looking to go out alone soon just want advise
Autodata is the best ref as it also tells you how long the job should take, but torques can be found online too.
Haynes have those values if you cant get autodata and are starting out its a great resource still!
When I started I collected Haynes, then when I pulled my finger out I got Autodata, now days a quick Google.
But well done, I know plenty that don't consider torque specifics important and they are so you seem to have the right head for it imo, good luck bro....
hhahhaha johns top guy hahahha, makes me laugh everytime,,,,, cheers guys keep them videos commin, love um,
Your videos are soooooo much better when John's in them.
He’s the main man 😂
John definitely sounds more sporty 😂
Top mechanic mush 👊👊 keep it up. wish i was a mechanic instead of a plasterer 😂
Ah man! I wish I could plaster/ do wood work 😂
@@themarvelousvlog lol pal😂👍
Hey bro !! Wanted to ask you something... Do you also pay for the Auto data thing you mentioned in other videos... If so how expensive is it ?
Btw.. Always love watching your videos.. keep it up. 🤙🏼
AutoData is about £115/month mate. Don’t recommend it for DIYers but definitely worth it for technicians
14:20 sounds like the wheel bearing has gone based on that noise
rust / dirt on the brake disc my guess.
We're the front CV boots split ?
8:02 lmao been there.
Ridex is poor quality.
^ not my preference for sure
@@themarvelousvlogIm sure that their “adult” magazines in the 1970’s were pretty, pretty good 🥳
I can tell you from my experience that Ridex parts are crap, you will be changing parts after twice as many times as with more expensive and known brands
RideX is a p@rn channel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I justvput 2 callipers on from ridex ffs don't say there bad lol
Bro next time remove the engine, it's soooo much easier. Unbolt power steering pump and move to left, unbolt aircon and move to right. Unbolt downpipe from turbo then remove rad. Undo the 2 engine mount bolts from underneath and the pitch mount on bulkhead and you can lift slide the engine far enough to change clutch. Subarus are easy to work on but you have to unbolt everything in the correct order or it becomes a nightmare. I know this because of 12yrs exp with my wrx. Great job lads added a edit the notice the clutch you changing is push type, edit relates to pull type.
Yea you gotta know these engines to know that, I've put a few in a few Hillmans so have that experience now but first time I worked on one I did what I'd do with a normal car and doubled my job time compared to when I work on them now days!
Hello Marvelous great to see you & brothers as always on your videos , can I suggest one thing buddy ? Why don’t you use bigger axle stands like 6 Ton ones , I use them as they are taller more chunkier but more safe to use & you can of course like all Axle stands adjust the height to give you more room under the vehicle your working on , I use 4 x 6 Ton stands & gives me plenty of room & I also use the same trolley jack as you but have 2 of them to save jacking one side then the other , just a suggestion without telling you to suck eggs pal , I’ve been meaning to say this for a while but watching this & seeing those yellow ones being used just prompted me to say this , but I’ve got the yellow ones too but no longer use them as to low & not safe in my opinion. Also I would have supplied a genuine Subaru clutch kit or at least researched who makes them & sourced the OE as would be cheaper , as that looks a huge job even for the 3 of you 🫠 hence keep em coming brothers ❤️👍🤝🤗🚗👏🍻
No offence taken at all Rich! Thank you very much for your input- I will definitely take this in to consideration!
To answer your question about the Subaru, we did not supply the parts, the customer did. We did advice him to get genuine parts as they will be similar in price anyway but didn’t take our advice unfortunately 🥲
Again, thank you!
@@themarvelousvlog Your welcome Marvelous, yes mate I know the customer supplied their own parts , I’m just saying me personally would have supplied the genuine parts or OE spec for the mechanic to install , whether the car owner or the mechanic, I wouldn’t want to be really doing that job anytime soon but as you honestly state that’s a newbie first time job you’ve carried out but the advantage having the 3 of you is you can & do work with each other so stress shared , I think a one man band would have struggled like hell , especially with that transmission, I know they’re heavy, I lifted a few myself but at 53 years young I’m no longer stronger than I used to be with underlying health conditions so just do what I can , I’m not a mechanic by trade as I work in the rail industry (nearly 35 years) , just to top it off the yellow ones Marvelous, I’d use them for engine support or transmission support , that’s it but seriously try out the 6 Ton mate especially on commercial vans , they are not that dear , can’t remember the name of mine but they are bright red of a famous internet auction site ( probably around £50 upwards for a pair if you shop around ) & also don’t forget the round rubber sill protectors to sit on top of the crater part so you can position them anywhere under the customers car , without damage , but the sill protector rubbers aren’t just for sills mate , again I bought them of the internet auction site from China but they are really good , they will split after a while so just be mindful , again no offence I love the sense of humour like when John cracks me up 😂😂, you have educated me on some your previous videos where ever you are hope you okay 👌 👋🚗
Guys
A great video it's is so easy when up on a lift but on the floor lot of hard work and weight safety is a must at all time when working under a car😂
Phil In stoke
Absolutely!
Hey great info. Wonder if you can help got a Mercedes EQB 350 AMG 10k miles but power steering having issues...got a contact or email?
How much would you guys charge to fit a cam belt and water pump on a Ford Focus 2009 zetec need your help
If you’re close enough mate, send us a WhatsApp (number in the description). We are based in Hertfordshire
Do you not recommend a dmf too at same time whilst it’s all apart?
IF it’s fitted with dmf, absolutely yes BUT this car isn’t fitted with one
What happened to your m-lite you were repairing or have I missed the videos
It’s almost done… unfortunately it is taking longer than we thought due to missing parts and some due to logistics- it’s cooking 🫡
Why fit a cheap ridex its just gonna slip and fail prematurely?
If your riding the clutch the release bearing may be spinning all the time you have your foot on the clutch pedal this may generate excessive heat in the bearing and subsequent failure? I don't think these bearings are designed to run continuously only for a short period when changing gear?
Are you insured to test drive all these cars and how much does it cost and what sort of insurance do you have?
Yes we are. W’ve got full insurance to drive customer’s vehicle and public liability and so on…
Motor Trade insurance covers you for MOST things to do with the trade. We pay around £3500 for our insurances
My local garage wouldn't do that even with a ramp and all the kit. Out of interest I would love your advice on jack stands and hydraulic jacks, you guys have the cars in the air in moments
If they don't give you your advice I'm also a mobile tech (25+years) with plenty to say (I can't shut up 😅)! 👍👌👍
Get a Iveco van to replace the Citroen van
There even more of a shitter😂
easier to pull the engine out, done heaps of them
If we know this, we would’ve done it 😂 Experience says it all! We will be doing this next time 😁
What part of the country do you lads work in
We cover a huge area. EST for you to say where you’re based
@@themarvelousvlog I live in the Shropshire side of Wolverhampton WV6 7RG
Taking the engine out wouldve been easier
any new videos on your bmw ?
Coming soon! It’s almost done. Parts were just very very difficult to work with unfortunately
Someone say, perished 😅
Wanna tackle a clutch on an Alfa 159? Based in Sandy
Have you guys ever heard of an engine hoist?all that unnecessary work just to change the clutch.the very first thing you guys should have done was watch how other people on CZcams did it then went ahead with the install
less go
John is nutter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would of been faster to remove engine, in a hour could of had motor removed
Interesting this…
5:58 did you all learn tagalog from home in the UK or all of you were born and raised in the PI?
Raised in the PH, came here in the UK
Schoolboy mistake.
Always remove the engine when doing a Subaru boxer engine car. Lack of experience shown. You made that job far more difficult than it needed to be. Used to do them in 3 hrs max.
"Mechanique"
That bearing looks like it fell from space.. 😂
Great fix. Nightmare job.
Looked like a real ball ache of a job.😅
It was a bit long to do I can’t lie pal 🥲
new clutch garbage
You are better men than me. I would turn away any Subaru for clutch work. I'd kill myself.
Easier taking engine out to do clutch on Subaru boxers
Subaru known for shit load rust and engine blow outs Ile pass
Blowing ups more because people try and make shit loads of power on basically standard engines
Its easier and faster to remove engine. Subaru life 😂
Rides is pure garbage.
Amateurs...
Should have research the job first
Any decent mechanic would have told how involved Impreza are.😂
JOHNS FEET SMELL OFF CHEESE AND BACON 🥓
Couldn't you give a comparisonment on your prices and dealer prices you charge
I wouldn’t know how much a dealer would charge if I’m being honest 🥲
Ridex is from Autodoc. Its their own brand. Its German made, but its poor quality. Cheap, but quality is LOW! I tried the brake discs for my Audi, they worked, but warped and had a lip after about 10,000 miles. Bought EBC discs n pads for around £600 and they last at least 1 pad change. DONT BUY RIDEX! Its such a bad choice for a clutch.
next time lift the engin its much faster and not as much hasle u are still a kid
Buy a cricket protector for your nuts mate. 😱👍🏻🙏🦘
