- 2005 Saturn Ion clutch replacement. I did not use any special tools to install self adjusting clutch.
I mentioned the new friction disc (clutch) looked thin. But I found this video and the difference between the new and old in that video looks the same as mine. • Chrysler 2.5 crd clutc...
Best clutch replacement video on CZcams for 2.2 eco tech motor and yes you can bend the pressure plate so be careful but thank you beers for all the help two thumbs up
This probably doesn't matter but if you align that dot in the center of the flywheel to the dot across on the edge. The first pass to the right the edge of the flywheel is more flat... next is dimple edge. When you put the new flywheel on, if you look at it like this... you now have the dimple on the first pass and flat on the 2nd.
Another difference was the logo was at about 9oclock bolt from the center dot but the logo was more at 7oclock bolt when you put it back on.
Probably doesn't make much difference, I'm sure it's balanced regardless but just an observation for those protectionists. I would have just marked it but I went the extra mile and bought a new flywheel.
Another thing I noticed is LuK used plastic this time instead of metal on the 4 hooks around the center of the pressure plate. On mine and the ones on your video too. Like we need more plastic on this car =P
PS. At 240,000... My clutch springs were closed about 80-90%, not as shot as yours but my disc brake had snapped metal on the edge and one of those big springs actually came loose, worn down and created some nice dings in the flywheel. The boot on the slave cylinder was torn and bearing sounded just like yours. Old and new stuff is all Luk, wondering if the guy just cheaped out on a clutch and ignored the rest or if it's all original at 240,000. Also replacing master cylinder.
My car was riding fine, I just felt like the clutch wasn't engaging sometimes anymore, especially if I was driving like an ass, and couldnt get her in to gears at higher rpms. Pedal was to the floor since the day I bought it, but to me that's what it feels like in almost every old ass standard I buy.
Just a quick tip for locking the flywheel when the box is out, is to use an allen key, put the long side in on of the bell housing bolt holes and rest the short end on the teeth of the ring gear.
Oh sorry, by finally I mean a video showing the clutch removal on the ion/cobalt. I have been looking for one for a couple years.
Anthony Holloway I did not take offense to it. I was just asking what you meant. I uploaded this video just over a year ago. I'm happy I helped you
No problem thanks for the video.
Thank you so much This is what I am looking for my volvo :(
Great video! So I guess it’s okay to resurface as opposed to buying new flywheel? Would it be same for 2.2 engine in a 2003 (I assume so).
Beers n gears you are awesome, don't respond to jerks with negative/stupid comments please, keep up those videos coming!!!
Great video! So how long you think this job is?
Luk clutch kits In the UK don't come with alignment tools
Could use some advice. Does throw out bearing = slave cylinder? I bought the clutch kit from Rock Auto (LUK 04217) and I didn't receive a piece with the neck. I bought new flywheel, master, and this kit. I'd like to make sure I'm replacing as much as I can to have everything as new as possible.
I know this is a old comment. This is ironic. I had this same thing occur to me. But yes, the throwout bearing is the slave cylinder. I think I bought the same kit for my Redline, and that happened to me as well. Pretty sure they are supposed to include that so I'd hope maybe you complained about it. Good luck!
@@Jakelazzzz I can't remember if they included it or not but I haven't had any issues since the swap. My old clutch didn't look bad but replaced it anyways. The only issue I run into with that car is the darn E-Brake. Stock part has been discontinued and it's hard to find. Any recommendations on stock or aftermarket replacement for that?
@@BobbyLips Not so sure tbh. I need to replace mine as well but haven’t looked that much into it yet.
if you could help me! why the diaphragm of the luk sac clutch mechanism (automatic adjustment) remains blocked and does not go up. I used the cross tool to mount it. what is the mistake the mechanic made?
My ion is making a rattling noise when in gear and accelerating. It does not make the sound reving in neutral. What do you think it could be? New clutch fix?
I have a 04 Saturn Ion 3. My car has a vertual timed transmission. So does the VLT have a clutch plate.
But, how do you know that the clutch plate is bad. What are the signs and symptoms.
On my car, my car will drive fine at low speed . But, soon as I get to about 60 miles a HR. The passenger side of my car shakes and vibrates really bad.
I put two new front hubs, rotors and pads. I ordered new front Axel. Shocks and struts and sway links. My car has 150 k on it. So, I was wondering if a bad clutch plate could cause this shaking.
Vibration at freeway speeds is usually something to do with tires and wheel balancing. How do your tire wear look?
I love this video, this reminds me of the job on my girls Toyota Corolla tranny, where is my wrench , where are those bolts.
hey man I'm looking at getting a 2005 ion and was wondering if you have had many problems with it and how much clutch life you got out of it.
Depending on how bad of a manual driver you are you could be looking at roughly 100k for horrible or beginning manual driving. And 150-200k for generally good drivers.
Hi, you say the green self adjusting springs set first time you press the clutch?
I've just installed same type of clutch as yours, but i watched a video of a guy compressing the clutch plate centre, then he turned the inside of the plate to make the green springs compress, then he released the pressure off the clutch plate prongs, this was off the car.
I did it that way, fitted the clutch onto the car now my clutch wont disengage?

HEY DYLAN..IM SURE ITS MY CLUTCH THATS SHOT...ILL PUT IT INTO GEAR SLOWLY TAKE MY FOOT OFF AND THE CAR INCHES AHEAD EVER SO SLOW IN FIRST AND REVERSE..IT WILL GO A BIT FASTER LIKWE WALKING SPEED BUT THATS IT??? ITS THE CLUTCH RIGHT??
Did you have trouble with the hose and metal connection going back in to the new slave cylinder/throw out bearing? I'm doing a 03 and the old connection will not push in far enough to block the bleeder.
I had to replace the O-ring. Mine was stretched and it was getting kinked making it stick up.
what is the part number of the Luk clutch kit for the 2004 Ion 1 with the 2.2L MFI engine? I am close to having to do this for mine and I want to order the correct one in the OEM style.
For 2003-2007 Saturn Ion Clutch Kit LUK 95346XQ
Would this video also apply to a 02 sl2
I have a 2005 Saturn Ion and I recently had a failure that no one seems to understand. I can put the car in gear and shift through all the gears just fine, but it is a power problem I am having. I can put the car in first gear and it will go but the rpms are a little high, but when I shift to second, the rpms go even higher and I start to loose power to the wheels, and I have nothing in third, fourth or fifth. Do you have any ideas. In my experience, if it was a clutch problem, it just wouldn't work at all....not with some but not others.
I am pretty sure that's your clutch! The higher the gear the more pressure it requires for the clutch to hold. I am pretty sure your clutch is slipping. Can you safely make a CZcams video of the problem?
When accelerating in second or third gear, lightly press your clutch about an inch or so in without letting up off the accelerator. If the car all of the sudden has plenty of power, then its your cruise control brake switch gone bad. Engaging the clutch slightly bypasses that switch and lets the engine do its thing. Otherwise it could be a clutch problem. Easiest way to find out if its slipping is by shifting into 5th gear while going slow and giving it gas. If the rpms rise without the car accelerating then your clutch is slipping.
To the last part of that comment, yes! If your RPM rises while in a lower gear and going slow that is a guaranteed way to test the clutch.
great job and thanks

You're welvome! Thanks for the positive,comment. I hope this video helped you. This was my first self adjusting clutch and I couldn't find very good videos without the special tools. so I made this in hope of helping some first timers.
Anytime sir
I've just installed one of these self adjusting clutches to my car, it's a European car, Renault megane 225.
After install it won't go into any gears. Those three green springs on your pressure should be preset out of the box from Luk, which mine was.
But it's strange in the video you say to compress clutch fingers first time you press the clutch, then this then sets the adjustment springs.
People are telling me you need the large three pronged install tool with self adjusting clutches, but my service manual, my local Renault dealer etc all told me the Luk clutch is preset out the box, fit it to the car, and that's it! But i can't get a gear!
Twice i've had the gearbox of this thing and it still won't a gear??
My clutch is hydraulic and the clutch pedal moves down about an inch and a half before there is good pressure.
I have bled it every way i can think off and pedal never changes. It isn't close to getting into 1st gear, gear lever is solid with clutch down and car creeps forward.
Sounds to me like there is still air in the clutch line.
I've always had best luck reverse bleeding clutch systems with a mighty vac. Not sure about this system though
спасибо друг
Dima Pavlovich Весьма признателен
Can you post a video how to blead the clutch line?
hey man is yours a saturn ion 1 2 or 3
ion 3, I think that just means it has extras like power windows, locks, sunroof, "leather", etc
nice job :)
Roddo thanks for the positive comment. this was my first time with self adjusting clutches. I couldn't find many decent videos so I decided to make one. I am happy it helped iou.
Disculpa el mio no tiene mucha precio en el cloch que necesito
How hard is it to drop the teansxle
Since the subframe has to come down, that means suspension, motor mounts, etc. It's not a quick job
If I were to do it again, I would do the same thing, leave the engine in with everything connected still. But I would get an engine support bar. Harbor Freight sells them for around $100
Where did you buy the parts?
Datdupa46 Rockauto. I would not suggest buying the cheapest parts on there. make sure it has a heart next to the part name/brand.
BEERS 'n GEARS Thank you for the advice. my clutch still had alot of life left, so I won't have to do this for some time.
How has it held up? I have a 03 ion with 215,000 miles on it's original clutch that needs to be replaced soon. I seen the kit on rockauto and was wondering if it's worth buying. Thanks for the help
how many miles did you get out of the factory clutch?
130k, I bought it with a bad clutch at 123k. I'm not sure if that guy drove it correctly.
BEERS 'n GEARS mine on its way out 240,000 on original clutch.
how muc the kit cost you
if I remember correctly it was $220 from rock auto.
Cool thanks I have a 2004 ion
+Dylan McClelland (Dylan6793) I have a 2004 ion and my clutch pedal is broken. can you make a video of how to replace it and where i can buy just the pedal
+Jose Nava are you sure it's the pedal?
+Dylan McClelland (Dylan6793) yea its the pedal it has about a foot of play. i have to keep my foot on the pedal because of some much play
you do realize you are missing the pilot bearing, thats why the alignment tool fits way too loose and you needed tape......
qaz393 This car was not designed to have a pilot bearing.
Корзину то не взвел.
What's sure you'll never be able to engage your gearbox. Lmao. Show us after service works...
Whatever bro, that was years ago. I can't prove it now.
@@BEERSnGEARS means you don't remember if you dismantled once again to proper set the pressure plate?? No offense, bro.
I can’t understand your comment. But good trolling
@@BEERSnGEARS can you use the clutch? Good questions are trolling you.
To much talking about stuff that has nothing to do with changing the clutch.
Well, most people are telling me I gave a lot more info than other videos. Which was the reason I made the video, lack of information when I did my research.
Sorry it wasn't beneficial to you though. My objective to help people.
My videos are more helpful than a channel with no videos. (Get it?)
Some advice when making a video, do not use the word “You.”
Creator of video, you’re doing this, so use the word “I,” this is how I do this. Not this is how you do this.
You are helping people see a process, this is not the process, please continue making videos, just stop using the word “You.”
Matt Dennis YOU are watching the video, so I assume YOU are installing a new clutch. I show YOU how to do it.
You are sensitive, you need to grow up and you need to accept constructive criticism.
You are not showing me anything I don’t already know.
You talk too much and you do not show enough useful information for potential beginners.
You need to stop saying you. You sound ignorant saying you all the time.
I am bored with you, thank god for fast forward. You need learn to edit and you need to learn to speak intelligently, that means you need to stop using the word “you.”
You are not showing me or anyone else how to install a clutch.
In reality, you are sharing how you install a clutch.
This is your method, not the correct method, just your method.
Do not assume your way is the only way.
Your video, like everyone else’s, is consider advice, not a how to.
Matt Dennis You're making this into a bigger deal than it is. But for someone with more negative ratings than positive I think I'll start taking advice from you when you make decent videos. I'm making money and people enjoy my videos. Sorry you didn't enjoy.
I don't see a problem with him using the word "you" when referencing the person watching,(assuming they clicked on a "how to" to actually learn how to do it) and the way he chose to install the clutch. He mentions how he isn't doing it the correct way, but rather, a way you can do it without the "required" tool.
"I'm not going to do that, I'm just gonna go easy star-pattern, quarter turn at a time, whatever I have to do. That tool is pretty expensive.
"(I'm)not going to do that, (I'm) just gonna go easy"
