This man is a freaking STUD!!!!! Changing a clutch is tough enough in a clean, warm shop, this man is in the rain and on the ground... this is not a man, he's a cyborg, a mechanical superman!!
Your skills never cease to amaze me truly amazing and such a hard grafter to go with it full on hard work all week and you still manage to do your videos for us your the man 👍👍👍
Hello from Guatemala. Dude, you make look so easy, specially when you'd work the huge pegeout van, that transmission weights 50 to 75 pounds easy.... Keep up the good work.... Cheers....
Class I watch these behind the scenes every Saturday morning and look forward to it. Great work and having watched at least 50 of your clutch changes I might have a slight idea where to start myself haha
@@WMCS yes Insignia mate as my daily driver. Have a vw polo project sitting in driveway just to learn some basic mechanics. No way didn't know about the new 1.4.i have the cdti it's had a clutch timing belt and the oil seal all done under my ownership. Keep up the good work sir
WOW Whatever you charge it's got to be worth it, your energy and fitness is right up there, you are not phased by any car you repair, really well done from Somerset.
You, sir, are a legend and you have my full respect for what you do on an almost daily basis, in all weather. The attention to detail where it comes to safety is excellent. I've added another pair of stands to my kit for my clutch job, which I'm hoping to tackle tomorrow. The DMF and full SACHS kit arrived from Germany, at last. Watching your videos really helps get a good picture of what I'm in for, so am actually looking forward to doing it. I've even taken plenty of time to learn how the CSC works and now have plenty of sealant, so I don't end up with fluid pouring out of the bell housing after I stitch it all together! That would kill me! Thanks again for sharing your awesome videos.
Lee thanks for the feedback. I’m sure it’ll all go really well. What vehicle is it you are tackling tomorrow. With the csc remember not to dry bleed it as it will fail prematurely. Prime it instead.
@@WMCS It's a 2013 Insignia 2.0 SRI (160bhp). I watched and studied the video you did on the 2014 Insignia, which looks identical to the one that I have. The procedure that I have planned is once the gearbox is back up and secure, re-attach the pipe to the elbow, fill the reservoir, and then pump the pedal (gently and partially at first, then full range as it begins to stiffen) enough so that it springs back with normal force, apply constant pressure on the pedal so it is held down whilst releasing the bleed nipple. Re-tighten and press the pedal a few times to make sure it retains its correct movement. Hopefully I have that right! The fun part will be taking out the DMF - it sounds terrible! Thanks so much for responding.
I've subb'd - love the quality of work, attention to detail, discipline and methodicalness (if that's even a word) - all people offering a service/working in a trade should be this good and have pride in their work as you do. I can't imagine you ever having a screw/bolt left over after you've finished and wondering "where did that go?" ;) (meant that as a compliment!). You can tell the level of experience and knowledge you have on little points like leaving the socket on the tyre after you've finished so you can torque them all up quicker - lovely to watch - thank you
Thanks for supporting our channel. And for the great feedback. I wouldn’t feel I’ve had a good day if there was any leftovers. It would eat away at me.
18:50 destroyed thrust bearing! this is what happend to my 308 two years ago and what brought me to your channel. saved me a a few quid, Keep up the good work Kev :)
Very competent. Clean worker, looks after the wheel liners and undertray and torques the wheel nuts. Obviously knows what he's doing, and pretty slick camera work too!!
Hi Kevin, As always mate, all your jobs carried out with military precision in all weather's. I'll say it again, I'm very, very impressed with your determination for getting the job done.👍👍👍👍
Greetings from Texas. Having worked on my own clutches in my home garage. I salute you can do probably do 2 cars in a day. It took me 4 weeks to work on my V8 BMW 6 speed lol... You are the man! I think you have the most clutch experience than anyone in this world. Praying for more businesses and successes to your small business!
Haha. Nothing special. Just a 2005 545i 4.4L 6 Speed that I was trying to get it back to work. It’s been sitting in my garage for a while before my wife complains everyday till I finally do it. It’s pretty hard to find full size sedan with manual here in the US. After I fixed it, I am in love w it all over again :)
Great video dude. I am amazed how you can complete with local garages considering you have to include travel time. But hats of to ya for having a successful business.
Hooked on ya channel Kevin ! you are the REAL DEAL ! {could not be the lingo in GB}........love ya style and expertise AND bravery to attempt these jobs on the move, looks like there are manual gearbox in Britain, what did happen to the reliability of autos
I work on a farm turn wrenches , no way I’m in this gentlemen’s class but I know some good mechanics one a good buddy of mine he was bragging abut changing a clutch out I showed him your channel, he says well I’m just a mechanic this guy is a god, no fair comparison,
Holy shit Kev, you were like a BJJ black belt with the transmission roll when it seperated on the vauxhall van. Well done 👍👍👍👍 If you change a toyota 4zz transmission over, could you put it up please. Everyone of them on YT is substandard. IMO. Keep up the great work😎
Hi mate really learnt a lot from watching your videos and appreciate the work that goes into these jobs. What in your opinion is the easiest motor you have worked on/changed clutch? Thanks and keep up the great work 👍
G'day Kevin another spot on clutch install, it reminds me when I did mine, cvs and clutch but it was good weather I enjoy watching you put clutches in on different vehicles, is the heater you use diesel? Great idea but your well organised anyway mate take care John
Hello, love watching your artistry. Can I ask, when you jack up a car and use axle stands, where do you place them? There appears no soft pad between the jack / stands and the car. I would worry this would cause some damage. Keep up the good work.
I see you use top notch tools, Snap-on, best you can buy. I live 20 minutes from Kenosha, Wis where they have one of their factories, been in there few times too.
Really enjoy watching these while washing up!!! Quick question: you always lower the car onto wood but I don't understand why? I only ever had to do that for lowered cars. If you could jack cars up then it should slide straight out, so whats the reason?
@@WMCS Nice one. You really have got to stand out from others to get a good reputation. It looks like you are doing a great job of keeping customers happy. Hope you are having a good weekend.
Como propietario de un taller, durísimo lo que hace. Trabajar a la intemperie sin elevadores ni ninguna ayuda es para mí una salvajada. Su salud y sobre todo espalda no podrán aguantar muchos años. Tiene que trabajar bajo techo con temperatura adecuada disponer elevador y ayuda para desmontar y montar el cambio. Por favor cuídate mucho compañero.
I have a Peugeot 2008 with clutch judder, the problem is intermittent. Every day I drive through a ford and sometimes it is quite high, could water leakage be the cause?
The jobs you tackle in far from ideal circumstances... Chapeau! I'm just a hobby mechanic with a small shed, often I have to work on my cars outside. I have been meaning to ask you: how do you keep your hands and fingers warm and why do you use so many axle stands? I like to learn from you, thank you!
Kevin has it all planned out. As soon as it in the air WD40 on the heads and thread. On the heads so the sockets will go on easier. On the threads like axle and ball joints so they don't jam up and gall. The pads allow him free movement under the car. They also stop the jack from rolling to easy whilst supporting the engine and trans. The height he jacks the car is such that he has the ideal arm extension to lift the trans and catch the input shaft into the disc. Subframes r his friend. Leave two bolts in and let it hang. Then use it as a place to rest the tranny while cleaning and mounting the throw out bearing. Clothing to protect the gut so the protrusions of the trans don't hurt so bad. Every move counts. It's a waltz. Love the long bar for those stubborn lower control arms. From 1973 to 1985 I used to pull àutomatic transmissions on my concrete driveway with a Wudel transmission jack. I couldn't roll them out on my belly. Car has to b a little higher to clear the bell housing. I used a creeper. But I watch and understand his every move. He is a rock star!!!!
Bill I read your feedback with fascination. It’s almost like you were the one that programmed my neural network. You seem to understand my complete approach... very interesting 🍻
@@WMCS Good morning. I started on a creeper in around 1968. I’m an old geezer now, but still turning wrenches. I am privileged to have two racks and a pit in my backyard shop now, I remember vividly my years on the creeper. U have absolutely perfected the routine. The only thing I could humbly suggest is 3/8 impact wobblies with a long 1/2 by 3/8 extension. I often used your trick of a 1/2 inch universal midway the set up. I use a little headlamp tightly on my head with the beam focused on the bolt. U r young and likely have super vision, but the light is amazing. I have all the Milwaukee 12 ratchets except for the extended which I ordered this morning. If Milwaukee had any brains they would show u before the Ratchet and then after the ratchet. I bought strictly on watching your skillfull use of it. Today’s project is an 04 Scion that popped the head bolts. I have to do the whole time sert thing. Thanks again!!!!!
Kevin in the gym gets asked what do you bench?
Kevin: a six speed and a flywheel.
