Did this today took me 8 hours with breaks in between. Hardest part for me was getting the box back in how bloody awkward lol! Thanks for your great video though it helped a lot
Kev you have saved me a lot of time and headache trying to figure it out as my focus 1.6 2005 needs it's clutch swapping. Only difference is my pal is letting me use his shop that has a pit. Great effort showing us how it's done.
I guess after doing such job for years it’s like knowing where all the spoons and forks and pans in your kitchen go 😉. If you do this as an amator for one incidental time then you’ll have to document really well where everything goes with pictures and so. And got to research all the torque specs for the bolts, and whether to or not use threadlocker for each bolt. For people who have only one car and need it to get to work or groceries i suppose it’s more effective to just pay a garage (or this channel owner if you live in the UK 😜)
Morning Kevin,another masterclass,thought i would let you know i got the clutch swapped out in my 2013 swift sport but not quite in the 3 hours it took you!actually it was 3 days but hey who,s counting,I now appreciate your abilities even more but at least its job done so thanks for the initial encouragement to diy and i quite like the impression of a suzuki gearbox left on my chest!!Keep safe
Job done, thanks to your video Kevin....For others looking at doing this at home, highly recommend a good battery impact driver, as access to some bolts is diifficult. Allow time to clean underside of engine and gearbox, ideally jet wash before starting on the clutch. Remember to loosen the 3 nuts on each strut top to enable to move the strut around when removing the drive shafts, have spares available in case need replacing...i.e new circlip for LHS drive shaft, drive shaft seals, ball joint boots, new knuckle pinch bolts and nuts. I used SACHS/ZF High Performance grease 4200 080 050 especially made for input shafts......also working under a gazebo and using same rubber floor tiles made it more comfortable to do this work.... I used a small motorcycle mini hydraulic jack with a flat area to support the gearbox, when raising up to the engine, and once in position, used a small ratchet strap to hold gearbox in place, then removed the jack for working room, so could easily jiggle the box without holding the weight until it slid on the engine...don't forget to donate some of the money you have saved via Kevin's paypal account as a thank you...
I used this video to change the clutch in a Mazda 2. Excellent video and thanks as it was most helpful since I had never worked on a Ford or Mazda before. All my family’s cars are Peugeot/Citroen.
The video is great, but took my Dad 1.5-2 days to do from a home garage - the gear box is cumbersome and needed to be lifted down and then back in using a jack, blocks and a lot of wriggling - certainly not by hand! Thank you!
Great work as ever Kevin. And no swearing. Lots when I swapped a dual mass for a single on a seat Altea. Bolts and I don't see eye to eye. All the best.
Kevin, Great video and repair - thank you! The 2003 Focus with the 2.0L Zetec engine you posted in March had the MTX75 trans (same combo on my US 2002) and the 1.6L engine on this one has the IB5 trans. Interesting that you used basically the same technique to remove both but on the Zetec/MTX75 you loosened the subframe and on this one you didnt seem to need to do that.

You are a legend, the only problem is, you are so skilled and make such awesome step by step vids that my mind is telling me I can do this in my lunch hour !!!!!. Maybe I should give myself the whole day. Thank you Kevin, excellent job as ever.
Hello Kevin, thanks for a great video...I have the same job to do on my Mk1 in a couple of weeks. I like that you clean the flywheel and gearbox as part of the job.....and the red grease for the bolt holes......have sorted out most of the tools I need to do the job, including a steel round bar...... I have to work outside too...
A future, more involved job, I need to replace the clutch (Getrag 265, 5 speed box) on my Chevy V8 Vauxhall Viva GT....funnilly I can't find a you tube video for this job!
Hi Kevin, great video as always! I've just done a clutch change on a VW EOS 1.4 TSI - took me 2 days due to a rounded off driveshaft bolt..wish I had the strength to effortlessly lift a gearbox whilst laying down...now my spaghetti arms feel like jelly!
@@WMCS Sorry for late response! who ever previously worked on the car had stripped the bolt head..couldn't use any of my specific socket/screw extractors so had to weld on a bolt with a hex head and it came straight off :)
great car video..... where the guy making it dont spend 10 mins talking to the camera....remember doing a 3 door cossie with a t5 on the chest back in the day......impact gun is the way forward.......make up 2 long studs....screw in to the block...this helps line up the box on the splines......cheers......
7:58 This was what i've been searching for for a long time on RUclips... where the other end of the gear lever cables end 👌. My gear lever has a lot of slack, i guess I've got to go look there.
@@lukeh7854I took the plug from the ventilation valve. I had it like that for 4 days meanwhile I waited for the new slave cylinder. It worked fine. No fluid leaked out:)
@@WMCS partial one if i remember correctly, it didn't need lowering a lot, just enough to squeeze the box out, it was a few years ago when i had it. The clutch looked fine when i took it out but it would slip when i really hammered it.
I think the biggest trouble would be that the car is unusable for the time it’s apart. And if you get stuck in the process then you’ll have to get a flatback truck to bring the car and all the parts to a garage to finish it. And personally i don’t really like it to lay underneath a jacked up car for long periods of time… one mistake and that bit of car maintenance can finish off your entire life. Having your head between the pavement and 1400kg of steel is a gross way to go i think. Better to toss 400€ at a garage 😊
3:12 will show my shop, I wasted money on axle nuts my fault, thought I needed them, he proves you do not, and no alignment issues either as my newly installed tie rod ends will stay put and my alignment will be same. It will be done to mine in a week or less. Shop did not say I needed the nuts, I will make sure they drain the newish, EXPENSIVE Ford oil too and re-use it. Ford now says DCT oil can be used in the MTX75, it is easier to find, whilst being $10 cheaper.
Hi Kevin. You mentioned before in comments you like doing these jobs, but which car do you least look forward to for changing a clutch lol? French? Vauxhall's? jobs which include dropping subframe? Or you like them all 😃?
I know french cars get a bad wrap.,, but they aren’t that bad..,, subframe ones are normally longer but still not that bad of a deal ..., cars that I don’t do anymore are Audi A4 onwards..,, Mercedes with twin clutch discs are my least favourite
How much fluid did you add and which oil was it? I’m about to put the gearbox back on, doing the exact same job. It’s my first time. Thanks for your help!
Thanks to your video and my already known knowledge managed to do it in 5 hours. Thank you so much for this video. The clutch wouldn't bleed and I had a pressure bleeder but that didn't work. Do you know of any reasons for this. No matter what I did fluid would not come through.
@@WMCS I replaced that also as a precaution managed to get it to bleed after removing the bleed nipple from the slave cylinder. Even then it was very minute amounts of fluid. But managed to get it in the end.
Kevin random question my friend... Your 1/2 inch impact is that been the same 1 you have used in all your videos if so its done really well.. Sorry i like tools... :)
I see you drain the gearbox oil on the lower bolt. is the gearbox in neutral during that time? Ive read that it can f..ck up the trainsmission if it moves when that bolt is removed. Im a bit afraid to drain with that but I see you use it confidenty all time.
Always watch your videos. Seen you bleed the clutch many times Can i ask some advice please? Today ive wanted to change clutch fluid on 2008 honda civic type r as its dirty.. I pressed clutch in 5 or 6 times then held it in with piece of wood When i undo bleed nipple on slave nothin came out, not even a drip.. Tried again couple times, still nothin Then i tried leavin bleed nipple open with clear tube on going into bottle with brake fluid in and pumping the pedal few times, still nothing I took the bleed nipple out to check if it was blocked, no fluid came out the slave when id removed bleed nipple..... And the nipples fine, no blockage..

Hey V max.,, it’s something that I don’t let happen as I’m out in the wilderness. .,, plenty of wd40 if it looks old then slowly brake off the rust ., but if it does happen I’ve got about 50kg of mixed sizes nuts and bolts 🔩 on board amongst other sores.
Maybe he has so much experience after all those years that he knows to estimate it quite well. As an amator i would not “just do something”. If you overtighten you may break bolts or strip threads, and if it’s too loose then parts may rattle off while driving.
