Car Fix DIY Videos

In today’s video, we’re pulling apart the engine and transmission from a 1972 Saab Sonett III. It had an issue that jammed up the clutch, so we took it apart to find out what happened, but while we’re in there we’re upgrading the clutch and pressure plate! We’ll go over the modifications needed to fit the new parts, and we’ll reassemble everything to test it out.
