are the gloves you use rubber or cotton?
Whoops this is an old enough comment.I hope you where able to get it sorted
by now.
its a 98 Ford Fiesta
if you managed to get the gear box in without it being lined up it means
that its now lined up, as it wouldn’t go in if it wasn’t
Just installed my first clutch over the weekend! Other than rusted bolts,
everything went relatively smooth. My biggest issue was my vehicle doesn’t
have an easily obtainable clutch kit option (Was going to be a week to get
and 450+ tax) so I reused parts from a lower mileage parts car and cleaned
the flywheel and pressure plate with fine grit sandpaper. I used your tips
and used an appropriate socket (A little duct tape around it to help snug
the fit) and it works great! Thanks again!!!
what i did yesterday i used a ruler and measured each side of the disc.
adjusted it by tapping the metal ruler by a light hammer. came perfect
though
@makeminealarge1 – I was thinking the same thing 🙂
Great video, thanks for posting. Is it recommended to replace the clutch
Release Sleeve & Seal when replacing the clutch ?
I know the feeling we didn’t always get it right first time but 6 hours is
probably some sort of record !
very useful, thanks you just saved me buying tools i would have only used
once or twice
Thanks, although I think some people have a better eye for this kind of job
than others do. Off to have a go!!! (then off to get a clutch aligner, he
he!!)
These day they are so many useless tool. I have been fitting clutch this
way all the time, never had a problem. The only difference is that I don’t
used my eyes, as it can be, sometime, difficult to be right in front of the
clutch. I use my finger on the side and it is dead easy…
VERY NICE BOY
Are they not supposed to be easy? apparently made to change quick for
racing purposes?
hello Phil, i watched your video for aligning the clutch.I’m asking what
happens if it wasnt aligned properly.The reason im asking is that im
driving a 2004 seat ibiza en recently had renewed gearbox and clutch .when
i drove the first time and i kicked in the clutch there was a scraping
metal-loose sound i didnt had before.I went back to the mecanic and he told
me that he put he in an oil additif .This didnt work and the scraping was
still there.Can you tell me what you think this is ?
I was working on a Mini Cooper S. I usually use this sight/feel method to
align the clutch disk, but this time the kit came with an alignment tool.
The transmission input shaft would not align and I had to back the whole
thing out. After redoing according to this method, the transmission slipped
right in – super easy. This method is better than using an alignment tool!
I think my clutch is slipping, under harsh acceleration power skips for a
second and he rattles slightly when engaged. I’m guessing this is clutch?
Recently bought 1998 1.4, owned by a gran all it’s life so not ragged but
not cared for either. I was wondering how to change the clutch over as i’ve
all the work needed myself so far (and on previous car, which was exactly
the same make and model) and was wondering how hard it’d be. I’m not
looking forward to tackling that gearbox. I only have jacks
I once spent six hours trying to fit the gear box without a clutch
aligner… WHERE WERE YOU PHIL??? Great “trick”, fantastic.
ive been doing a scooby wrx clutch all day only got the gearbox half back
on lol
what kind of vehicle is that? and year
@ylad1999 without a clutch allignment tool…. dont try to be sarcastic,
this mans gone out of his way for people like me wondering if its possible.
no tool needed apart from the socket being used an alignment tool ???
Thanks! saved me from buying another useless tool haha!
The alignment tool comes with the clutch kit? Must be nice to have a car
lift….
The clutch not being aligned properly shouldn’t be the cause of this. The
only reason it has to be lined up is so you can get the gearbox on. The
fact that your mechanic was able to bolt the gearbox on and you are able to
drive it, tells me he had no problems lining up the clutch. As for the
noise it seems to me there might be something wrong with your release
bearing.
