There's a sykes pickavant bearing puller set specifically for these types of applications.
I have the set your welcome to borrow if you want.
It makes the job a doddle.
I love these videos, I am a apprentice mechanic and I find these videos really helpful because they are really easy videos to learn about. Big fan on the Savage Garage
22:50 "I should have cleaned this before I opened it".
Yes, the first thing you should have done is de-greased and cleaned the outside, so much easier to do when it is in one piece.
And since you were going to strip it down completely then after draining the oil you should have poured in a litre of diesel, sloshed it around to thin any remaining oil, and drained that out too. Then you would not have had all that mess when you split the casing.
Nice work James. All manual transmisions are more or less the same deal inside. So now you ain going to be afraid to open any other gearbox. Learning until the day we die, thats the goal👍
Exactly, taking apart a small gearbox that's broken anyway was the perfect way to learn.
Clever tool for the Allen key, nice work.
Love how you approach each job methodically.....all thought out and with no apparent fear. I'd be crapping myself trying that but enjoy watching you take such jobs on.
Great content mate love what you do your never afraid to have a go ,,a man after my own heart .keep up the great work mate
Cracking content , never seen inside a gearbox before so interested in the end result, keep up the good work
Great content James. You're back to your best. Keep the vids coming!
"I'll just take this off and put it to one side, I'll just remove this as well..."
Next shot - 50,000 random pieces on the bench 😦
You're a brave man 👍
another fantastic upload james mate smashing it as usual defo just what i needed to chill on a sunday night cheers bud 👌🏻👌🏻
Just shows how much work and skill is involved. Well done james another great vid!!👍
While getting a 2nd hand box would be the easiest, for the price of the full rebuild kit and for the sake of content it'll be worth doing it that way. Plus you'll know its good after and won't fail 6 months later etc
What he said 👍
A brilliant video.
Thanks for doing such an interesting video, I am fascinated by the internal works of engines and gearboxes but rarely see one taken apart like you did. Well done. 👍
I've got a 16 year old Skoda Fabia 1.2 mk1 that's been pretty good, decent galvanising so no rust. I'm no mechanic, but the local garage reckons it can go on indefinitely - anything can be fixed on them pretty economically and easily, with lots of parts at the scrappies and plenty of stuff on ebay for them.
I used to have the 1.9 TDi VRS sold it when it was 9 years old. Only did 60k miles. Bought the MK2 fabia VRS after that. They were a ticking time bomb. Known for burning oil. DSG crapping themselves. Fortunately I had a good one. Sold that last year since needing something cheaper to run now I have a baby.
Great job James never giving up!
Keep to good work up and keep doing your thing no matter what the others say!
I would say change them all as long as you have the opportunity.

Something I can relate to! (First time viewer).
Great video James. Really interesting. Look forward to the next one.
I’ve just started doing transmissions on my college course and have been struggling to get to grips with how the gearbox works and what actually goes on inside the box. This video has been really entertaining, you seem to be very engaging and has helped me understand it better so thank you!
Fab video as always, I'm looking forward to seeing the next one
You’re brave. I’ve seen you take on some jobs in the past, can’t wait to see this gear box go back together. Great content as always. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴
Great video as always. Always nice too see new things. Never get too see a gearbox strip down often. Good too do as can make a solid decision on if it's dead like this one!
Utterly brilliant video , so much content , very well put together ...... thank you for an effort to really educate , well done mate 👍
Brings back memories of doing a similar job on a Honda Jazz gearbox. Wouldn't have been such a bad job but had to remove the subframe to get the box out which was a pain in the ass. Good video for anyone wanting to do this themselves. Good work
You have just done what I have always wanted to do - take a gearbox apart - but nicely illustrated why I never have. My late father always told me if they make a grinding noise chuck it away and find a replacement - it's always cheaper. Thanks for the education anyway :).
Not done a vw box but done 3/4 Toyota boxes when I worked for them, you usually get that fine metallic gunk on the magnet in every box so I wouldn't worry about swarf elsewhere, it looks pretty clean to be honest. Only other tip I have is when removing and replacing the gears back into the casing, cable tie them together so it's easier to slot them in then you can cut them afterwards. Head mechanic taught me that little tip 👍 gearboxes make my head hurt so fair play to you tackling it first time! 😂
Respect to you. Hope it goes back together! I thought changing the drum bearings and seals on my mum's 6 year old washing machine years ago was an ordeal (learning on the job, improvising, adapting and overcoming). Got another 5 years out of it.
Excellent video. Looking forward to watching the repairs.
I’m glad you found the issue straight away.It means less stress for you !
Keep up the good work.
🤘greetings from Teeside🇬🇧
Great video, love watching you take these things apart and seeing inside. Something satisfying about seeing an impact gun zapping off bolts.
My new impact wrench proved its worth today, getting an old rusty bolt of the caliper mount and the bleed nipple of the caliper.
Nice video learnt something today stay safe mate looking forward to the next one 👍 🍺
Nice job mate! If you manage to repair it AND get all back in place working, my hats of to you sir!
Balls deep. By this point I would be panicking thinking how the hell am I gonna get this Back Together right
Great video as always keep up the good work 👍
Great video, love your shed with lots of natural light :-)
This box is in the same condition as the Aisin box on my Mrs Suzuki car which had a 1st motion shaft bearing failure at 70k due to missing it's 3 year oil change regime. The clear yellow gearbox oil had turned reddish brown due to excess heat. After I split it the caged bearing (metal cage not plastic) had disappeared leaving the same amount of swarf on the magnet. On hers however all the ball bearings had gathered at one side of the race intact but made a similar moan. Cost £25 plus a fiver special delivery for the same bearing and tapped on with a long socket of the same size as the inner race. Washed out the case, cleaned the rest of the gears and parts before reassembling with some Dirko grey sealant. Apart from the time, was the best £30 I've ever spent. Job at gearbox firm £350! Gearbox still going strong 6 years and 2 oil changes later.
Your box looks in good condition for its mileage and no need for a full refurb as you'll probably find all of the other bearings are good.
Great video, interesting to see you delve into that box
Great video
Good thinking on that wheel bolt
Liked that keep the video coming
Don't see many gearbox strip downs, great work, enjoyed the video and looking forward to the next one 👍
Do them all, those metal fragments will be in all the existing bearings.
Doubt it Derek, knowing the way the oil flows within these and how the swarf arrives at the magnet.
A clean and a bearing inspection would be the first task.
Replacement of the bearing pack at the end should see another 100k out of the existing box if the inspection reveals unaffected bearings. My Mrs gearbox was exactly the same and needed just the failed bearings. That was 70k ago and still quiet. The crucial part is to renew the oil every 3 years on gearboxes susceptible to 1st motion shaft bearing issues.
Car is being sold on, if they are damaged it will be someone else's problem by then.
@@user-zt4ry9hm9u Yeah but that's a twat's trick passing it on. He could just replace the damaged bearings put it back and still sound like a bag of spanners. Best to replace them all.
@@1701_FyldeFlyer I agree, however that's just the world works.
@@user-zt4ry9hm9u
Its a CZcams channel man, its not an emergency fix between shifts working at the local biscuit factory.
What he spends on it he will make up in content views & its quality content that will stand the test of time.
Thank you for this. Personally I would just replace what is obviously broken, you can see the rest is in good shape. That metal on the magnet tells you it did it’s job and protected the rest of the box from most of the swarf washing around. Obviously, get all the bits in a parts washer to make sure there no major bits of metal floating around before rebuilding.
I’ve never done a gearbox rebuild myself, and always thought of it as a black art, however, looking at this, it’s all pretty straightforward. Very interesting to see the rebuild and see this car back on the road. Great work, really informative video. Cheers.
Loving this, not personally done this on a car or van but back in 2001 I replaced 2nd gear on a yzf 600 thundercat bike and this reminded me of that, good job and can't wait to see the outcome which ever way it goes! I commend you on the wheel nut as a bit for the oil plug as I wouldn't of thought of that😊👍
Another video we enjoyed watching 👍🏻 gearbox doesn't seem to be in a bad shape. Replace all, I know it's a lot of money but at the end of the day saves finding out there's another duff bearing once back together 😊. Look forward to the next one 👍🏻😀
Great video love the idea of having a go at new things you have never tried
Love it, first timer and well read over the how and well prepared, in this way you can do anything, plus a bit of sound brain work. Congrats with the result. Great, I hope I do not have to do mine myself…but same problem after 366k a Superb combi T3… I just was a bit curious. You showed and explained it superb! Thanks.
keep up the good work mate love watching your videos
Great job! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you James great video
Oh dear! It does sound very, very rough indeed my friend. Great improvising tool to drain the oil (we shall over come)!!! Great video!
Like the channel and the content James. What resources do you use for researching how to take different components apart?
Great video. Bit of the old savage vids. Really enjoyed it.
Another satisfying video, it didn`t look too bad to strip down in the end. Well done, keep the content coming.
Do all the bearings, that way you have peace of mind and it’s good content showing how to replace all the bearings which may have failed on other peoples gearboxes and they are looking at your video to see how to replace them.
Really interesting vid I’ll be watching the next bit - very useful thanks!
Nice one...did the same on my daughter's Pugeot Z307 gearbox...input bearing cheap Chinese job..all the chewed balls were held by the magnet...stripped the box and brought a quality bearing from local bearing supplier...3 years later still sweet as a nut...👍👍👍
"there isn't really a lot to it" he says! ....Rather you than me....well done...great to see what a gearbox looks like.
Another Excelente vídeo mate!
I would just buy a 2nd hand box, but its a good content for your chanel.
Well done!
👍🏻
Thanks for the vid's on the skoda, I did ask your advice and you told me just to take my time. I managed to get the gearbox off the car with help from my wife and a neighbour assisted on the last bit. We used two trolley jacks, one for engine support the other on the G,box. We struggled with a spline bolt on the bell housing size 18 spline, that was down near the drivers side driveshaft, non of my splines fit somehow they were just undersize,,it was a snap on that saved the day.
Any way I just wanted to thank you for the vid's that you filmed as I was able to prepare in advance with the tools as well.
All the best and I hope you get back to CZcams if circumstances permit.
Kind Regards Victor
U love this video mate and what a great tool u made so simple I will remember that when I need to buy special tools again just think if I can make something u have showed us all how to save money well done
Phil in stoke
Well done for getting stuck in, much respect, most of us mechanics send gearboxes off and there's you diving in
Another really good, informative and generally all-round interesting video. I've seen plenty of diagrams and photos in manuals, but I must admit I have never taken a gearbox apart, so this was a first for me.
Gearbox oil doesn't go black like engine oil. That is mostly caused by products of burning on the cylinder wall which then get scraped off by the rings. Obviously, gearboxes don't normally have combustion in there, so the oil doesn't degrade in the same way (except various old engines like the Austin 'A' series which share engine and gearbox oil). Obviously, it can still absorb any moisture that finds it's way in, and can potentially overheat (more usually in auto boxes with friction bands etc) and naturally breaks down over time due to oxidation, but nowhere near as fast as engine oil. That old oil looks quite old to me, it is dark brown, the new stuff will probably be quite a light yellow colour in comparison. Unlikely to have been changed during the clutch change, it would have been on the receipt you have.
The 2nd and 3rd gear from the left on the closing shot have big grooves carved around them. Not fatal, but not ideal. I suspect a loose bearing ball got in there. Ouch. I would Install a replacement and then refurb this one for content (I imagine changing 1 bearing will generate 1 video, but changing all the bearings would still only be 1 video, so no extra cash generation). Either keep it or Ebay it.
Great video. Looking forward to the next instalment. I’m doing a ‘box myself for the first time. But it’s a Zf auto.
Good job mate impressed on the tool bodge and your attitude to a nightmare quite informative and safty first ...the worx inpact gun performed well .. Subcribed dude
Wow, I’m impressed at your ability to do this!! Nice one 👍
Very educational and interesting content. Keep it coming, thanks.
Superb 17mm tool, great content as always, looks like a mammoth job but you’ll sort it.
I've worked on cars for years, I'll happily take on any job, timing belts, clutches, head gaskets you name it but I gotta be honest the gearbox is something I've never wanted to attempt to repair. A friend of mine lost 3rd, 4th and 5th gear in his Fiesta ST. After removing the gearbox and splitting the box apart it turned out he had managed to shear the output shaft into two halves. Miraculously 1st and 2nd gear still worked as the shaft sheared in half between 2nd and 3rd. He asked could I repair it? I said im not attempting it. If you buy a recon box I'll fit that and that's the end of it. Fair play to you for doing such a job!
It is the bearing cage that has broken. It’s job is to keep the ball bearings equally distributed It’s almost expected that they will be damaged once the cage has failed, particularly in a high stress application as a gearbox.
It still looks like like complicated jigsaw piece , I always take photos for reference when taking things apart , as inevitably you look at a piece and wonder where the hell it goes or even came from
I agree with just replace the bearings that need to be replaced can you not used a
It's about organisation as you take it apart place it in order same as an engine tare down 👍👍👍
Chris Morris You should see the small pieces when the hubs come apart!
He's filmed the process.
@@billywhizz98 just for my own amusement and gain a little more experience on gearboxes I'd replace them all for the hell of it,plus it's piece of mind
Fantastic content. Best on CZcams.
No ego just honestly 👍
Fair play to you James i tackled a gearbox once and was left with a lot of parts and a billion roller bearings i give up so good luck putting it back together and even more in getting rid of the gear oil smell
Hello,
Je te regarde depuis un bon bout de tps...et là c'est vraiment un super épisode de mécanique...
Bravo l'ami anglais...
👏👍🎉🍾🥂
Just looking at those gears scares the living daylights out of me. I’d be worried about putting it back together correctly 😬. Really enjoyed this video mate 👍🏻
Fair play! having a crack at the gearbox. It would scare the hell out of me. I watch with interest.....and admiration!
Hello mate , I,m glad you filmed these videos , as your gearbox looks very much like the one in my caddy van , in a nutshell my van & me got brought home on a lorry due to one hell of a howl coming from the diff for just long enough to get it off the road . So now it,s gearbox out & rebuild it . I will be watching all of your vids on this subject , there isn,t much I haven,t repaired , but my usual drive having been landrovers you needed a barrowful of bloody expensive special tools to get them apart then back together right again , V.L. Churchill ones , not cheaper ones , this part I subbed out to the most knowledgeable guy , who has them , so like you I,m doing a car / van gearbox for the first time . I,ve clicked & subscribed . Many Thanks .
Regardless of what cars you’re working on or who likes them blahdy blah, I’m just glad you’re making more regular videos again James.
Hope all is good mate 👍🏻
Great video James very detailed
Another great educational video! 👏
We allways learn new things here thanks mate
My bro's done loads of motorbike gearboxes but i have never done one myself.
Look forward to the next video on this.
You can see why the labour in a garage kills you... Top job fella 👌🏻👍🏻
Enjoyed that James rather you than me with a gearbox. Can’t do my usual ahhh 4 bolts left over trick 🤣
I am very impressed you tackled that job. I wouldn’t have the guts to start. It would be good to see the box being completely overhauled. The amount of swarf is a little worrying. Well done for the content
Looks like fun. Most people would replace the gearbox with a used one. At least taking this route you know if all the synchros are OK before refitting the box.
However, if the box is from a rare ,exotic or very old car then rebuild what you have or combining parts from another box is often the only solution as used units can be very expensive, hard to find, and mostly worn out.
Really excellent video. Very good explanation and video photography.
Well done mate, gearboxes are a mystery to me.
Just buy the 2 you need James .... very inspired great video , I may attempt this although the thought of all the parts and remembering where they all go lol scary
I love yer videos James, you do great work with the bare minimum of facilities, yer an inspiration.
Haynes, Sealey, Draper, Laser, Halfords, Euro Car Parts, Britool/Expert & all the top British brands should all be knocking on yer door looking to exclusively sponsor you.
You are a brave man James taking that apart.
Great video, subscribed!
Really good video I've stripped down many gearboxes mainly marine but never a volkswagen gearbox please be careful with those syncro hubs there's lots of springs and ball bearings if you remove the gears off the main shaft please be careful with the syncro hubs there's little bits fly all over the place lol like I mentioned as for the bearings think you will need a press to remove them looking forward to your next video good luck with rebuilding
Good video very informative. Thanks
That's the easiest part done now to rebuild it look forward to the next video
If I pulled this gearbox apart it would never work again!
Good stuff man 👍🏼👍🏼
How’s your welding getting on
Replace the damaged bearings only, don't bother with a 2nd hand box, who knows what that will be like internally.
My thoughts exactly, don't go any further than required.
Yup exactly, even though a 2nd hand gearbox might come with a warranty it's still a fucking nightmare to remove it again if it would fail and had to be sent back, plus it probably has honestly a higher risk of failure than a freshly repaired original one if done correctly.
I would buy one from the junkyard.
The more you mess with the more chance of something going wrong
Big boy meccano ... Have fun 👍😉😃
@The savage garage wow that bearing has been destroyed i would replace all of the bearing if it was me at least you have peace of mind that thay have been done and its ok for when you sell it on. Another good Jamie's I found it interesting as all ways 👍
respect for having a go. Im a driveway have-a-go mechanic myself...Nothing too mental, but my Mini is just a weekend toy so I dont have to have it working by any deadlines so if/when things go wrong/snap off, its not the end of the world. For a modern-ish car, they are reasonably easy to work on...The main issues Ive found with the Mini are rusted fasteners, components seized together (i'll write a novel one day about removing the ball joints), and access.
I actually think a lot of jobs are easier if you just drop the entire sub frame ie: PAS pump. By the time you've pissed about trying to get to the thing, then remove it without damaging the electical connectors, or having to grind a bit out of the cross member, its takes as long just to drop the entire thing..Plus you can see the true horror of what is lurking there, with easy access to everything on the front end...
