Hey Kev, can't thank you enough. Just finished the job today and was literally following you step by step. The only difference was I found it easier to remove the suspension arm from the 2 bolts rather than the ball joint. I did panic a little bit when I couldn't work out where the speedo drive is. I though I ripped it off but its all working. Thanks for the great video. There is only one small thing that could elevate it, if you had subtitles or something showing which size tools you are using. P.S. YOU BEAST !!! THAT GEARBOX WEIGHS A F**K TON. I bitched out and used a jack to help me lift it :D
I really enjoy your videos. You are a very professional mechanic. Without unnecessary movements, very enjoyable content for those who respect manual work and profession. Under the car in the cold windy weather, totally alone. It can be hard paralell with this complex work to handle the camera. Respect for your work! Thank you!
You have my respect for what you do and how you are doing it. On the cars and on the internet you are just great. Thank you for all your videos and the time you spend doing it and responding to comments
Kevin I’m a mechanic in bristol mate your killing these clutch jobs awesome work if you’re ever in bristol hit me up and come over for a brew stay safe bro 😎👍
Daryl Dove I might just drive up there one of these weekends and take you up on that drink.., I can be a bit of a bottomless pit I have to warn you., we drink by the cask ..🍻🍻🍻
Brave Man hard worker,,20 years ago I use to work from home in minus 20c out in Canada,,Back then nothing was too hard,,Today I removed my glow plugs on 2014 Mokka,,Iwas sore all over simply too old..I admire your determination to do that job outside,,Good man.
Muy buen mecánico, bastante habilidoso, me gustan estos vídeos en los que se hace desde el suelo, con elevadores cualquiera cambia un embrague, en el suelo es otra historia. Enhorabuena
I'm super impressed! Hard working man. Tough! Strong! Enduring the weather out in the cold. Obviously, knows what he's doing! Excellent filming! I now feel like I've now done a transporter diesel. We don't have those here in USA. Mobile clutch business? Interesting business model, but I'm impressed that he's doing it! I'm a Vw diesel mechanic and a transmission guy so I would know. Subscribed.
CoolAirVw Rm thanks for a great review. Really appreciate it coming from a VW mechanic makes it the more valuable. Since I launched the business i have yet to have a day without booking. Usually it’s two weeks waiting list. I suppose it works well as a lot of my customers are at work and they come out. Vehicle is ready to head home. Or for anyone having a day off work I’m there at their premise.... so the convenience is the USP. Thanks again for taking time to visit and subscribe to the channel. Very much appreciated
These older diesels will go for every if service often,I had a Audi 1.9 tdi pd engine on a 2003,I payed 1350 for it on 160 thousand miles,4 year later it was on 300 thousand miles,the only thing I changed on that car was the bottom arms one rear spring and a window regulator,and disk pads cambelt water pump,and serviced it every ten thousand miles my self,the car was unstable,loved it,what a engine
Over 800,000 views... This is a testament to your experience and great work... None of these clutch jobs are easy.. Far from it.. Especially lay down... Great Great video.. 💯👌💯
This was before u got your new Milwaukee 1/2 inch and that extended fuel ratchet. Love that new ratchet. I think my wife will b buying me one of those real soon!! Great work ethic!!
You're a remarkable grafter. It bad enough doing them in a workshop on a nice ramp. Doing clutches on your back every day in all weathers. You're made of stronger stuff than me.
spycrow lye thanks for for the support and great words of encouragement. I suppose I really enjoy what I do. I left a land rover dealership and haven’t looked back since. Been 6 years through all the seasons Monday to Friday. ... No back, knees or shoulder issues as of yet ... but then again I’m very cautious .... how about yourself do you do a bit of your own repair or a full time mechanic
@@WMCS Yeah was on spanners for 20 years. Various dealers and AA patrol. Work for myself doing steel fab now. The rate you're going you'll be managing a fleet of vans before your back gives out. Best of luck Kev.
spycrow lye thanks a lot for the great words of inspiration. I suppose I’ve still got young age on my side ... really appreciate the fact you took time to leave some great words. Thanks again.
Hi Kevin just watched you on the T5 well I worked on vw 25 years and we did not like doing them well done you made it look easy.(bit puffy lifting the box back)
Little tip mate keep all the little rubber boots that come on new brake wheel cylinders and scutch they make great little covers to fit the ends of the hydraulic clutch lines to stop them bleeding out
Mr clutch has nothing on you matey, top job, done properly, I always drop the sub frame too, lost count of how many t5 dmf and clutches I've done, keep up the good work. A very good quality camera you have there.👍👍👍👍
Spud thanks for that vote of confidence.,, I do try and make sure the customers are getting good value for money .., when I take their hard earned cash it’s with gratitude 🙏🏽...

Cambios con un pequeño aparejo de cadena ,ya que varias de las cajas de los VW poseen un cáncamo para poder hacer el izaje sin necesidad de un gato carro . Pero en tu caso excelente labor !! Saludos de argentina de Adrián !!!
Fantastic watch, your work is very impressive - I know how long it can take to film & edit a video like this to this detail and that’s not even factoring in the job itself - what a machine! Great work
@@WMCS - Kev - This transporter was a big job, and you took it in your stride. Bravo !!! - You should be training up 3 or 4 young apprentices,... so you can grow your business & they can do all the heavy lifting,... and in a few years later on, ... when you feel more like lifting a pen & phone, instead of gear-boxes, they can take over. .
It was a fantastic time you managed to change it in but you were lucky not all VW’s come apart like this I know that from doing a few my self👍👍👍👍great vid tho👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉
6k subscribers!. Congrats! No rain at last! The owners seem not to believe that you did it all 😂 It seems also that the alternator belt is linked to the engine on gearbox side. I have never seen it. By the way, it seemed to me that you lubed a socket and the square with the red grease at near the end of the video. Is it because it is not an impact socket? Many thanks and waiting for next video! After a year I have time to watch them all.
i like your pushup strength to get the gearbox in place. i once done a clutch on my own too me 2 hours just to get the input shaft spline into the clutch. still gives me nightmares.
I’ve watched this guy more than once and give credit where credit is due, I’m 55 and also done these kind of things but always with the help of someone else either to pass tools or to pump up on an engine lift at least to take the weight of the box, no doubt sir your good but please don’t kill yourself lifting gear boxes on your own.
Thank you for these videos mate. I am planning to change a Mitsubishi Colt's transmission myself. How much torque needs to be the impact wrench to do that job?
Great job 😊 I have been wondering how difficult it was. I am amased to see it done, even how heavy the gearbox are. Those 4 bolts/nuts in the subframe, is for the stearing gear? So left or rigththand stearing should not matter, I surpose. If one have patience it should be possible 😊
Man.. where are the days when we pulled a Beetle engine at 18:00, pullled the gearbox, transfer the side-shafts to a new one, replace box, bleed brakes, engine back and test drive at 21:00.... This is one serious job!
Mate that's one hell of a job. You've managed to put me off ever wanted to become a mechanic I think if I achieve just doing that job once would be enough. Interested to search automatic Gearbox in the same model replacement
Gareth don’t be put off becoming a mechanic .., there’s different levels .., You have to start as a private unfortunately,, 🍻🍻🍻✨.,, or a Technician ..which is a bit like PCSO’s of the force ..😁💫
Mate I'm sat her in Sydney Australia I've been a chef for 30 years originally from Manchester. I have one of the T4 and been doing a lot of my own work in it. Just a hobby . Defiantly enjoy playing around with it. Helps when you have all the tools. It's funny because I never did want to become a mechanic. But I'm really enjoying working on this van and I also have a Ford falcon XR6. That I have done some basic work. I'm looking at getting another T4 but auto. Has a gear box problem only goes in 1st and second. That's how I found your Chanel. Great work man. 👍🏻
And the best part is when the owners come and say : wtf , why so expensive , you didnt have a more then a one hour of easy job , my friend will do it in 30 min ......
Love your vids! I watch them as a relaxation after a long day at vork. Thanks for the awesome content, mate! What solvent you use from that pressurized sptay bottle while cleaning clutch parts and housings?
Bloody hell,, dropping the sub frame to change a clutch, on your back... Man,, that is hard graft... Totally awesome.. 👌👍💯💯
Good camera work and lighting. No silly music and long winded explanations. A pleasure to watch !
Thanks for taking time to leave us a a review. Much appreciated

Working on the ground like a real man, I’ve got to say you are strong Kev 💪🏽
A job well done by a man who knows exactly what he's doing. Let me tell you its not an easy job.
Nice to see a mobile mechanic that actually knows how to fix a car...
Yesterday a mechanic replaced my clutch , but really you're an expert. I love your way.
Thank you Omar. Hope your vehicle is in full working order. That’s the main thing.
Worked under cars alot, and let me say it aint easy..... this guy is a master at clutches. Like an art form 😎🏅👍🏻
The best mechanic in UK ! Thanks for sharing ! Have a good day man !

I had to drop the sub-frame of a 99 Toyota Camry , to change the transmission on my back . Very nice job Sir

Thanks for your feedback. Always nice to hear from a fellow mechanic
Ele é mesmo. Vivi 5 anos no Brasil,... e nunca vi um fazer este trabalho tão rápido,... e no chçao nas costas.
Abraço.
Respect to you. Amazing job 👌
That clutch looked like a bloody nightmare Kev
ف
you made lining up that clutch and lifting the box look very easy ....... 10 for effort all day long
Thank you.
great video as always, it appears your hard work is getting the views it deserves soon you will have to leave your autograph! 🔧👍
This was before u got your new Milwaukee 1/2 inch and that extended fuel ratchet. Love that new ratchet. I think my wife will b buying me one of those real soon!! Great work ethic!!
Bill that’s it. The days of just spanners and ratchet. Power tools have literally cut repair times by about 1.5 hrs.
You're a remarkable grafter. It bad enough doing them in a workshop on a nice ramp. Doing clutches on your back every day in all weathers. You're made of stronger stuff than me.
