a cut away from a 1998 bmw 323iS with a windowed ZF310 trans and m20 single mass flywheel.
the transmission used to be in an M3 track car, the release bearing failed, overheated and friction welded itself on to the transmission input shaft guide tube. the windows were cut in to the bellhousing in non structural areas and it was installed with a new guide tube on a 1998 323iS to see what would happen. Input shaft bearings were very worn in this ZF, hence the wobblier than average release bearing here.

Very nice, now the clutch dust has somewhere to vent, we all need this mod.

Metal dust from cutting hole: I love bearing surfaces, thank you so much!
LEO? YOU WERE MY CHILDHOOD
It's actually called brake dust
One reason to avoid developing the habit of sitting at stoplights with the clutch depressed for minutes every time you stop. The pressure plate puts side-force on the engine crankshaft, the throw-out bearing on the clutch is constantly turning, lots of stuff wears more quickly. Best to pop the transmission into neutral while sitting stationary for any length of time, and release the clutch. Develop the habit early and a manual will last much longer over the years.
Also, don't fall into the idea that while moving on the road in a flat area or in areas where you don't need to use the throttle by switching to neutral will save fuel. It doesn't, it's only best if you know you're coming to a stop or going downhill using momentum.
Deceleration with a manual in modern fuel injected vehicles will ensure the fuel injection system will shut off, thereby using zero fuel when rolling down a hill or using engine braking to come to an eventual stop. So long as your foot is off the accelerator and the car is decelerating, the injection is shut off.
I'm trying my best, but I can't help it but holding down on the clutch pedal, usually when I'm in either 1st or 2nd gear because I fear that the car will turn off when moving at slow speeds. My father constantly yells at me for that.
Put in gear and roll down the hill, computer on my 2010 Corsa shows 0.0L/100km while doing that
Instant mpg display on my 2015 goes right up to 99 mpg and stays there with the car engine-braking from speed or down a hill. In other words, infinite miles per gallon when the fuel injectors are shut off (per EPA requirements in fuel injected engines in vehicles) and the car is rolling by momentum.
You gotta love the engineering behind these magnificent dry clutches
Pretty simple.

@@Zach-je4zd Peace Bro
Zach Spaar good night bro
This feels like I’m looking at an open surgery and I’m just seeing the heart beat
I just felt the same!
I studied automobile engineering for a semester as part of mechanical engineering, but never in my life saw a clutch engage and disengage until this video.
It's strange that everyone is curious to see the real deal outside of animation, but no one took the 40 seconds to actually do it.
finally found someone that cut a hole in the bellhousing and not more of that animated crap
Mathew Hughes yay death wheel!
Exactly.
wish there were more videos like this 👍🏽 benjamin nelson also did this ... how does it work after many years???
Interesting comments
Mr. Gupta from engineering worked pretty hard creating the animation from his Suzuki Swift.
this..THIS is what im looking for, not some animated crap
Great user name!
Animation (if done correctly) can be useful too because it can show all the parts inside, not just the clutch assembly.
bubzki2 its his WiFi password
Can I get this in anime form?
EXACTLY
Everyone learning to drive manual should see this. When I first learned almost 10 years ago I absolutely sucked, but after I watched a video explaining how a manual trans works I was instantly 100x better. The next week when my dad took me out to teach me again he thought I had been sneaking to drive my car and practice, but nope just understood what was actually happening under the hood.
Or just drive with an automatic (idk if thats the correct name in english)
what if vehicle is manual only. not all have automati-c
Did you learn to rev match also since it's very important to prevent premature wear on your clutch.
@@marderluchs6322 At least where I live, if you drive an automatic in the driver's exam, you'll get a mark on your license and you're not allowed to drive a manual
@@manaatti27 yeah, you can take the exam with a manual but after the exam you can drive what you want😉
This is definitely a valuable contribution to the world of knowledge
well, thanks!
probably the gayest comment ive ever read
Couldn’t really be a mechanic because my intrusive thoughts would be like “put your finger in there”
no. can confirm, am do mechanic things, also think put finger in bad place :(
I once was working on my 150cc scooter engine which has a metal cvt fan attached to the crankshaft. In layman's terms, imagine a big exposed saw blade that spins at whatever speed the engine is going. On those smaller engines, idling speed is about 4K RPM which means the saw blade is going about as fast as the clutch in the video when he applies throttle.
So I have the saw blade thing exposed because I'm doing work to the transmission. I fire it up and see the saw blade spinning super fast. I had the intrusive thought to stick my finger in it and... I did. I gently brought the tip of my finger to the edge of the spinning metal disk. Everything was over in an instant. I felt an extreme sharp stabbing pain as the fan grabbed a hold of my finger, chewed it up and spat it out. THANKFULLY the finger did not get forced backwards because of the way I touched it and instead it just shattered my fingernail. It bled and swelled up but that was about it. Now I have a gutteral fear over exposed CVT fans and my urge to touch those spinning things is gone
TWSS
Suicidal tendencies... not good.
@@garyr7027 what are you talking about? Suicidal Tendencies is not that bad
You cut a window in a perfectly good bell housing to show us how a clutch works?? Great job...thanks. This is a terrific training aid for any instructor.
Great for teaching, not so much for transmitting a significant amount of torque anymore lol.
@@slowpoke96Z28 For sure. I wish I had that cutaway when I was about 15 and trying to wrap my head around drive trains. I couldn’t understand why the engine was spinning like mad and the rest of the drive line was motionless…..when the thing was in gear and the clutch pressed in.
Won’t dirt and water get in there now? Or do you use duct tape? Or that famous seal tape?
@@ThePerfectSeason1972 No, it's useless now. They'll have to replace the bellhousing
This helps since I am learning to drive stick. It's better knowing how it physically works to understand
As someone who knows nothing abt cars but drives a stick it’s really cool to see the clutch at work, I’ve always wondered what it looks like!
you're already an enthusiast in my book
My Beetle in the '70... The very first clutch disk didn't had the helicoidal springs to dampen clutch engagement.
The clutch was driven by a tiny steel wire, which had the habit to break the last weekend of the month - never during the work week.
The disk was high quality but was undersized, especially when you always had four passengers, and drove over steep inclines. The surface of the disk was like soap at the touch... it was high quality asbestos, just like the brake pads. We didn't know yet, at the time, of the damages to the body the material was capable of. Just like the lead in the petrol.
Thank you for this slightly crazy video, it took me to a moment of my life when I was able to change from a mechanics overall clothing to a black tie evening dress in less than half hour.
Regards,
it didnt smooth out, it oscillated faster creating persistence of vision
You can't judge that by looking at a 30fps video.
oh really ? i just did
McCurvey Hastie
no
The moment you have to replace your clutch is the moment you realise it didn't smooth out enough. EOT.
Nope, it's exactly as Phil said. It oscillated faster creating persistence of vision. Notice when he revs the engine, the oscillation continues to speed up right up to the point where seems like it stops moving? Notice how blurry the clutch release arm looks? That's not because it's sitting still...
Clutches get engaged all the time and I can't even seem to find a girlfriend
It's an absolute travesty that this comment got no likes in 3 years. An abomination if you will. What is happening to this world?
Nice
Could it be your input shaft is too small?
That is because you are not.. clutch
Oh I get it now.
Can we appreciate the camera guy running alongside the car and filming just so we can see the clutch work
I have replaced a few clutches in my lifetime. I always understood how they work and could only see it in my mind's eye. Thanks for the visual.
I was right there with ya

*bows*
The throw out moves quite a bit, but the pressure plate only moves about .040", depending. All you need is for the surfaces to not be in contact.
This is why I love the internet!

..and i love manual transmissions and who sponsor it..
Why not fix a camera there, and drive around so you can see it while it's changing gears and stuff.
you wouldn't see anything different than whats already shown here.
MplsBav Would actually be cooler to see an overheating clutch
I don't know how to ruin clutches
MplsBav Sure you do
+Fo'chan I guess I should have said, in the 50 or so manual cars I've owned, have never ruined a clutch.
This is the second time I watch this video and I am thankful for the uniqueness. Without it I wouldn’t understand clutches.
Now, too bad no one can do this in the gearbox part.
you could in theory but it would be very loud and it would only last for a matter of seconds before seizing
Theresa a really good computer animated video for that. Just search 'how transmission works'. They got one for auto and manual
Cool to see how it works like that in real life and not computerised. When there's judder like that, you can usually feel it through the pedals, but only really when you're travelling slowly.
that wouldnt really show. just uneven bite on the organic disc between the pressure pate and flywheel. if you could cut open the pressure plate, you'd see the disc shaking violently.
Always wondered how it worked, did mechanics for 2 years in college and its all animation, make you realise how amazingly engineered it is to last soooo long
I feel like this is getting shown in classrooms these days.. or at least I hope. I was a mechanic for years before I decided to have a look myself.
Or not so long In The case of vw transporters….
What school?
Hey, i also engineering student. I learn how a clutch work by watching top fuel dragster, lol

My Vauxhall Nova had an inspection panel in the bellhousing, which was big enough to allow you to remove the clutch and replace it without having to unbolt the gearbox. Turned an hours-long major job into a 30-min minor repair. I never understood why more manufacturers didn't do this.
not sure how thats possible given the input shaft on the trans that captivates the clutch usually goes all the way to the back of the engine's crankshaft.
@@OvalboreCars because instead of dropping the whole thing you just unbolt it and slide it back far enough to slide the clutch assembly out.
@@OvalboreCars
Like all good magic, it's all done with mirrors. 🤣🤣
@@OvalboreCars some fwd cars used to have that kind of easy access to clutch. and because gearbox is below the engine then they had short shaft with a gear on one end which could be removed without the removal of gearbox
Astra's of that age were the same
Thats awesome....now here a seal tape to cover that huge window.
Thankz for taking one for us all much appreciated.

With my first car, a 1962 Dodge Dart, there was a panel on the underside of the bell housing, which when removed a person could view the operation the clutch and throw out bearing.
It's called an inspection cover.

This might be the single most important you tube video ever made.
This is one of the coolest youtube videos that teaches what the clutch fork, throwout bearing, and pressure plate are all actually doing.
and best of all, no animation :)
Wobbling!
Watching this video more than once because it is so awesome!
woohoo! :)
This was awesome, thanks a ton for cutting that hole and doing this
thank me from 8 years ago :D
but yeah for sure, you're welcome. thanks for watching.
*No matter what type of animation they use, this is what you call satisfaction*
The throwout bearing arm isn't under tension when the clutch is engaged so it will vibrate on its pivot point from engine vibration. As you can see, it stops shaking once the throwout bearing makes contact with the pressure plate.
Ding ding ding
Nothing better then the actual analog showing how it works. Makes it easier to show people that automagic transmissions aren't all they are stacked up to be
animations are great for concepts, but rarely satisfying
Kudos to the cameraman. His filming is clutch.
that me
Finally got to see how a clutch works in real. Now I can die in peace 😂
They should make see through an option
Alan Fox but you'd need to be under your car to see the transmission. I've never been under my car when driving along the road. ;)
For pedestrians.
carson firth if you use a high impact plexiglass it would be fine
People still wouldnt be able to see it without bending over, just dont see the point
carson firth people also said "we have a horse and carriage , just don't see the point of ownong an automobile"
doesn't matter if these is a point, I think it would be helpful at seeing any issues without having take everything apart
That random suggestion youtube shows u … it always turns out to be something unique & pretty cool 👍🏼
sometimes, once in a generation, RUclips's algorithm nails it.

Thank ya, thank ya.
never got to see the inside of a gearbox while all the inside parts are functioning, pretty cool not gonna lie
Guitarfollower22 you didn't get to see one in this video either. Thats the bellhousing cut open, not the inside of a gearbox.
MrCoffeekelly took the words right out of my mou... oh wait... I mean thumbs :P
isn't a gearbox just the housing of of the transmission and its married mechanical parts?
+Guitarfollower22 You only saw the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate assembly in this video along with the release bearing and its fork. Past the input shaft to the right is where the gearbox is. (not shown in this video)

Did my 1st clutch replacement on a ‘64 Ford F100 . The transmission has a large inspection cover , as a teenager seeing a clutch function in the real was eye opening . This is same , would make a great teaching video .
