As someone who is used to working in a shop on a lift, which is hard work as it is, this man is on another level. Swapping clutches day in and day out on the ground is my version of hell.
Yeah me too, but compared to some toyotas where i change a lot of clutches this one is a gift. just thinking about the engine mount that goes onto the gear boxes where you cant pull the main mount out of the small space its fitted in, but neither can you reach the screws that are behind the main mount.
Let’s all appreciate the abdominals and shoulders of steel the guy must have, and the fact that he manages the camera while doing the works at the same time. Utmost respect.
@@huntforandrew you’ll destroy every gator with one of those for sure and a whole host of pissed punters he knows exactly what he’s doing very professional I’d have this guy do one for me if I ever need one
I've done a ton of clutches on the floor and just the thought of having to get up every morning and go lay under a car in the cold and rain and do clutches all day is pure hell to me. Hats off to you, hopefully the views and likes here can help so you don't have to do that as much lol
Well for £700 cash a day it’s worth it. He probably only works 3-4 days a week. He’s only got to do two or three in a day to cover his weekly expenses & other days is all profit.
There's mobile oil change, mobile tire replacement and there's this guy that changes clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and throw out bearing all on his back! Hard enough work with lift. Hats off to you! Hope you stay healthy and many more years of service!👍
@@xcalibertrekker6693 Absolutely! The man is a skilled technician with many years of experience in this field. With UK unsettle weather. I would recommend him getting a small canopy tent? Perhaps just enough shelter for the front of vehicle during rainy day.
@@WRXMK if you have expensive wheels your not going to do it yourself otherwise it can be done for like 50 bucks i did 6 tires in the last 2 months with a harbor freight tire changer
When you mortals out there realize, how hard it is to hold your head up the way Kevin does for extended periods of time. Thank you for being part of the few that really care, take pride and represent mechanics in a good way/light. Sometimes I feel alone in the battle of keeping mechanics reputation on a high standard.
@Danny Williams as a mechanic myself, let me tell you. You get that tough when you do it daily over months and years. Coupled with crunches and situps. However, it is best for us mechanics to go to the gym every once in a while, to work on the opposite muscles we are used to use during jobs. Lifting heavy stuff from the ground while on your side and back is another tough one. Can cause hernias too.
what impresses me most is he has every single essential equipment you need. Most of it seems pretty heavy duty stuff and the fact that he does everything step by step and gets the job done is amazing. Also, you can tell every single movement he does with his tools and the way he works is all muscle memory. Just shows he has done this millions of times.
@@arealmaintenanceandrepairl1103 actually a really important part of it, its the reason you can type on your keyboard without looking, or people can play incredible guitar solos.
@@jakecole7447 hmmm I understand now it’s like working a job for years and taking break and thinking the experience u can get back into it but you lost the memory so it kills ur body at first… no wonder why I shouldn’t take vacations to long lol
Incredible, been a mechanic now since I left school and even the thought of changing a clutch without a lift makes my body ache all over. Absolute legend.
I love how you travel to someone to do the work, shows you're reliable & right for the job...also got to say, I too, bought some yoga mats to use when working on my car, really helps as we as easy to clean ... Though I don't live in your country, thanks for being who you are!!!
You must be the every day I am in a good mood guy, damn, this is hell for us in the workshop and yet you do it all by your self, on the ground, you deserve my respect mate. Good job!! Keep up the good work!!
It really is a pleasure to watch you work. So methodical and your attention to detail is fantastic. I also like the way you double up on the jack stands either side.
Watching how you are prepared to do difficult work is inspiring. Being dressed right, being fit, and being quick without creating unnecessary moves of your body. Your videos gave me confidence to tackle an oil pan gasket replacement on BMW Z4, did it in army green balaclava and everything. Started 9AM Saturday; finished 12PM Sunday; no sleep in-between as I did not want thieves to steal catalytic converters. I will need 4 days to fully recover and plenty of food.
Wow... just wow... I always watch videos like this waiting for the mistakes to happen... like using the used bolts for the flywheel - Nope brand new ones... putting on the clutch before cleaning the surface of flywheel - Nope shiny clean flywheel... putting away torque wrench while being set to torque - Nope dials it back to zero before putting it away. I'm pretty much impressed to be honest. Respect! Clean nice work!
This guy makes it look so easy, a true professional, and his tools are amazing from his long-ass pipe to his oversize impact and so dam organized. What a joy to look at his work and move around with ease under those cars.
I’m a detailer running my own business. I have to say I love how you work and how your vans layer out and how you lay out all you need at start of job. Just love your attention to detail. Organisational skills saves time.
He's tidy and efficient and very well organised, hes come a long way from the nairobi hotel incident in 2019 - This is the guy you want working on your car.
What a BAMF! Subscribing cause of mad respect! I maintain my own vehicles and after building bowling alleys I learned kneepads and fatigue mats. Keep up the awesome work! 😎
Another top week great to watch! I had the joy of doing an engine swap on a discovery 4 😐, liked again on astra and Nissan how you work around the subframes etc saves so much hassle You work hard and do a great job Thanks again for taking the time to video it for us! My Sunday chill!
@@WMCS Yes I did, I do lots of landrovers, It's not too bad when you have done a few body off is average 3hrs now but it's just the amount of ancillaries that need swapping over especially on the 3.0 sdv6, they didn't consider anyone working on it after assembly 🤣🤣
Whatever you make from your jobs you undertake I hope your video's make double .. that's a lot of hard work there and you deserve every penny and more. Well done fella and stay safe
Just happened upon your page today. You Sir are a very well organized, knowledgeable and professional mechanic I have ever seen in a LOOOOOONG time. I have tinkered around with about everything that has an engine since I was 7 and to you,..... my hats off to you good Sir and keep up the good work.
Hats off, I have a fair amount of outdoor repairs during my military days. Water running down my neck, to my toes, getting to old for that type of work.
This looks like the type of job where unless you're in a very good mood, it's just hell on earth. I don't know how this guy manages on his own like this.
Me and my cousin used to do that back in the old days, clutches, headgaskets and timing belts on the street in uk .. we did these job after work 4pm to midnight some days and we had no power tool , days off were spent on fixing cars or car auctions "lol", Its hard work man.
@11:14 I recommend you clean up that mushroom head on the chisel before it decides to chips and sends a metal splinter randomly shooting out with enough force to take out an eye. With a good bench grinder it wouldn't take very long to clean with the chisel head and give it a nice chamfered head. I am impressed by how easy you make those clutch jobs look; I can't begin to imagine how many years of hard work it took to get them to look that effortless.
Really impressive what he does, i have respect and admiration for matey, hes his own boss, very experienced and cracks on making a living. It sure beats working in a warehouse or office or driving a lorry. Alot can be said for having your own trade and being your own boss. I've always liked ppl who ain't afraid to get stuck in and not care about getting dirty or wet !!!
Man, I literally admire you. Have never seen more hardworking man than you. In rain, in cold, in wind...nothing stops you. And you do nice YT videos. All the best for you. Do you maybye have a video of a cluch change job in Saab 9-5 (years 1998-2005) car?
this man deserves some respect... this is not an easy job and requires alot of nasty hard work to do on the ground like he does, simply amazing man!! keep it up
I have replaced 2 clutches in conditions like this, I will now always be paying someone else to do it for me because it is so difficult. You must really feel the strain after a couple weeks working like this.
@King Bubbles mate you are totally right with that one, I’m paying for my years in the trade with arthritis from those cold bastard days of working of the floor 👍
Honestly. After having done loads of clutches in a warm shop on lifts, this actually seems pretty alright. Fresh breeze, challenge and freedom. But I'm sure I'd miss my warm shop after one or two clutch jobs. Good job!
Good seeing a guy put a shift in doing proper graft. Just the way the area is prepared and tools are laid out says alot about the pride you take in the work. Nothing but respect from me!
1 last comment because everyone said it already....Kevin your the best !no one I know could do what you do.Your on another level!pleasure to watch your videos.
Yep, after working on the ground fixing my own car many many times over the years can confirm neck muscles are one of the first things to start hurting! Especially when encountering stuck fastenings! If this was me I'd be swearing all day too!
At first I was like "yeah 2h is reasonable without a lift" and then I discovered that it covers a whole week! What the hell, masochistic good of mechanics right here!
Seriously impressive and as a side note a good idea spraying down the tools at the end. The mini owner would be in shock if they came out have way through the job, looks like you have to take apart half the front of the car!
In the late 80's early 90's we used to be able to replace a Vauxhall Cavalier/Astra clutch, on a hoist, within 20 minutes easy. (No need to remove gearbox) I'm guessing all the car manufactures realized they were missing out on book times, so went back to having to remove the gearbox?
I used to do people's astra F clutches In a multi story car park if it was raining. Otherwise bump the n/s up a kerb and bang half hour easy £100 . Miss then days.
yes they did! i used to have vauxhalls in bits all the time 20 years ago, a clutch on any astra vectra etc is a massive ball ache now, have to drop the subframe on a lot of them wich means steering rack off radpack held up on bungies all sorts of arse ache
Ive seen your videos in my suggested list for a while but never taken the time to watch. I take my hat off to you. Ive done a few clutches over the years, first thing i realised while watching your video is you dont need to always remove the gearbox! I woke on machinery day in day out in all weathers so can appreciate that part of the job, stay healthy
There are some things I would rather pay someone else to do, and replacing a clutch is one of them, and the reason why this guy is doing them. My hats off to him. Do it for far less than a shop, do it right and make a ton of money.
I know how hard it is to do something like this on the ground just once, so full respect for being able to do it several times a day. But, it does make me cringe when I see the underbody being scraped and scratched by pry bars. And when you do that thing with the axle stands where you wedge them under the cills to make sure they are secure.
Ok. I'm beyond impressed. Doing all this on stands is a huge pain. 1:54:00 put it over the top. Bench pressing a transmission into place and getting it secured. Alone, In a confined space that is some very specific muscle groups right there. Hell I'm a big boy and put my shoulder out doing the same with a large case differential. This guy deserves every penny he gets.
As an ex mechanic and knowing the odd times I had to do these jobs in the old days gives me PTSD. 🤣 I rate this guy to have the grit and balls to do this day in and out. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I wouldn’t do this shit on the road for even £500 labour ! . Hats of to you mister 👌🇬🇧👍👌
Used the transmission gimbal to help you to put in the gearboxe in the right position is so smart... On my Renault Clio 3, I take a week to change the gearboxe and the clutch the first time... Your work is really impressive for me.
what a great job! you should get an awning for the side of the van to cover your workspace and pull the front of the car under when you are able...excellent video though
This is the 2nd video I've seen of yours and for someone that has previously been in the industry with Audi, the amount of respect i have for what you do is of the highest!!! working in the rain and to hear no swearing hahahahaha i couldn't believe it
Now Now that is bloody impressive Brother. I've changed a fair few clutches in my time but you make it look easy lol! Be safe and keep up the amazing work!
You are very good Sir, he only critique I or advice I have is you never tighten the first bolt in until you get them all started. I learned that one very early in my career as a mechanic.
You really deserve a worker of the year award , i really cant face crawling under cars anymore ,have you ever thought of a mobile car lift on wheels like a trailer ,ive seen one adapted in America would make life and your poor back a lot happier. Take care your an inspiration .
Just had my clutch replaced (Vauxhall Meriva). It was fascinating to see the job being done. You certainly earn your money, especially in the recent hot weather
Never even heard of a service like this. This guy's a legend; does one of the most loathed jobs day out and in to keep folks on the road. No doubt never crossed my mind because I'm in North America where no one can figure out how to even operate an automatic vehicle correctly... Standards are sought out.
As someone who is used to working in a shop on a lift, which is hard work as it is, this man is on another level. Swapping clutches day in and day out on the ground is my version of hell.
This man is broke with 40 years!
Respect!

This makes my Job as a commercial HVAC tech look like Disney land...This Dude is the definition of MAN POWER. Awesome technique...enjoyed the show!
Not a single word. I would've sworn so many times, especially on that Mini 😂
Respect goes out to you mate, hard working guy!
I totally understand you man 😅
Мда,братишка ты молодец 👍
Он действительно крут..!))
When your a grafter and work your face off all day just to come home and watch some else do the same :) Whats wrong with us lol
Ok. I'm beyond impressed. Doing all this on stands is a huge pain. 1:54:00 put it over the top. Bench pressing a transmission into place and getting it secured. Alone, In a confined space that is some very specific muscle groups right there. Hell I'm a big boy and put my shoulder out doing the same with a large case differential. This guy deserves every penny he gets.
As an ex mechanic and knowing the odd times I had to do these jobs in the old days gives me PTSD. 🤣 I rate this guy to have the grit and balls to do this day in and out. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I wouldn’t do this shit on the road for even £500 labour ! . Hats of to you mister 👌🇬🇧👍👌
50:28, it looks like the gearbox is broken / missing a piece...
there comes a plastic sleeve inside, to hold the connection in place.. maybe is missed it /broked the old one..
He is tired of with clutches that he just drives a automatic instead...
Automatics use a clutch which needs replacing as well...
@@Max34557 proper automatics dont
I wonder whether those vans are even available with a standard.
@@bikeman123 um no, all automatics use clutches.
@@nsxmatt no, mine has a torque converter. It has no clutch. CVT gearboxes also don't have clutches.
Used the transmission gimbal to help you to put in the gearboxe in the right position is so smart...
On my Renault Clio 3, I take a week to change the gearboxe and the clutch the first time... Your work is really impressive for me.
Cara, que da hora seus vídeos...Já estou viciado neles. Ótimo trabalho!!!
what a great job! you should get an awning for the side of the van to cover your workspace and pull the front of the car under when you are able...excellent video though
Lots of respect to this guy... I would hate having to do this day in day out, his back must ache. Keep up the good work!
This is the 2nd video I've seen of yours and for someone that has previously been in the industry with Audi, the amount of respect i have for what you do is of the highest!!! working in the rain and to hear no swearing hahahahaha i couldn't believe it
Thank you. Means a lot coming from a fellow mechanic.
Seeing you line up all the tools and get setup is awesome, preparing to goto war and take no prisoners!!
Now
Now that is bloody impressive Brother. I've changed a fair few clutches in my time but you make it look easy lol! Be safe and keep up the amazing work!
You are very good Sir, he only critique I or advice I have is you never tighten the first bolt in until you get them all started. I learned that one very early in my career as a mechanic.
Just watched 4 videos on your channel, really appreciate your hard working. HATS OFF 👌👍. Greetings from Egypt
السلام عليكم هاني اتشرف اني احصل عربي ههههه ازايك ؟
ماشاء الله انت كم عمرك من 2007 فاتح القناة الله !
@@NoName-nk8sc اهلا عبد الله انا فعلا بستخدم يوتيوب من قديم الازل lol
You really deserve a worker of the year award , i really cant face crawling under cars anymore ,have you ever thought of a mobile car lift on wheels like a trailer ,ive seen one adapted in America would make life and your poor back a lot happier. Take care your an inspiration .
Your organizational skills are second to none, good job.
WOW mobile clutch service. This is definitely out of the ball park . Much kudos👍👍👍👍
Great work Kevin, greetings from a fellow mechanic in Canada 🇨🇦
Ruch lewą stroną jezdni jest w pewien sposób przerażający.
Dobre filmy, widać poświęcenie.
Pozdrawiam
I swore to myself id never even do a clutch on my mk3 escort alone again on the garage floor lol this guy is committed. Respect
Yo perdí mi taller, y ahora estoy empezando a trabajar a domicilio, este video me reafirma que si se puede!!
Gracias!
Youre crazy!!!! woooo doing godly work on the ground by yourself ON THE GO. CONSISTENTLY WOW.
This man is really dedicated to his profession perfectionist. Rain, sleet or shine won't stop the job. Good job mate!
Thanks for the feedback..
In almost every video there is a mini cooper r56 in 😂 love your work!
Just had my clutch replaced (Vauxhall Meriva). It was fascinating to see the job being done. You certainly earn your money, especially in the recent hot weather
Feel your pain with the weather, I did a cambelt a few weeks back in the middle of a storm, excellent job their keep it up 👍
Never even heard of a service like this. This guy's a legend; does one of the most loathed jobs day out and in to keep folks on the road.
No doubt never crossed my mind because I'm in North America where no one can figure out how to even operate an automatic vehicle correctly... Standards are sought out.
