@@WMCS . Thanks for your video ! actually, I dismantle MG Rovers now, but I started 'In the Trade' in 1966. I ran my own repair business from 1971 when mobile car repairs was unheard of.

I would say that your video is a standard to which other video makers should aspire. I'll be looking for future productions. My Respects..
Thank you for the clear video which was really helpful in replacing the clutch on my 2014 Insignia Elite. Though I bought a mid range electric impact driver I returned it as it was not powerful enough to remove wheel nuts. Instead used 1/2 socket adaptor on a drill to speed up nut removal/replacement after loosening.. Though I have done clutches before, the gearbox removal and refitting is not as easy as you made it look! Also worth being careful of wiring on nearside lower arm as I broke the sensor that moves the lights with the steering. I also put together a printed timeline of actions which made it easier, rather than keep referring to the video. Happy to send to anyone. My friends are amazed at my doing this as I am 72! However I saved £1,000 by doing it myself, and buying SACHS flywheel, clutch and slave cylinder off e-bay.
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate your support of the channel. It usually adds an extra two hours on the job to film. But it’s helping a lot of DIY’ers out there 🍻
@@WMCS I've always fixed my own motors, but swapping a clutch on a LandRover or my first Mk1 XR2 is TOTALLY different to changing one in the crowded engine bays of modern vehicles. I wimped out of changing my Mrs Insignia's clutch and flywheel, sorry!!. Take care under those cars mate. Cheers.😎
This video has just saved my BACON, did a clutch and DMF change on a astra 1.6CDTI, the problem was, the car would not turn over, starter motor just clicked all the time, watching this video, i saw him put the starter lead to the battery terminal, his was red, mine is black, i thought it was a earth strap, so i earthed it to the engine. WHAT A TWAT, Anyway thank you Kev great vid Job Done
@@WMCS Yes thx, everything is fine. A Question is left. Do i need some special Tools (Sachs special Tools for Clutch/ Flywheel), or do i only need the centering pin tool? Thx u for your answer and great work👍
Arron Garner thanks for sharing .... did you manage to get the box out about halfway past the subframe. Glad to hear you got it done tho.... how long did it take you to complete.
Great work as usual Kevin. That was a useful tip for not having to remove the subframe completely too. Did you ever have one of these flywheels worn so badly that the secondary mass is so far out of alignment with the primary that it covers the flywheel bolts and leaves it impossible to get a socket on? Adds at least another half hour with an angle grinder.!
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate your support of the channel. There’s a few of them in the channel. Where the grinder made an appearance. For both pressure plate and DMF .,,
the pass side drive shaft came out pretty easy on this is it like that normally as i have change mine tommorrow ? inside the inner joint has callapsed the bearings are all over the place
I have just changed mine but my electric brake is stuck on and I can’t go into gears , I changed the everything clutch wise any help would be brill also tried bleeding and no joys
@@WMCS agreed, I remember having my car on a set of ramps and they buckled and collapsed with me under the car I saw the car moving as I was working on it, then it came down I thank my lucky stars I was on a creeper or I would of been a goner, I shot halfway across the drive amazing how much power you have when your in that situation, I've never used ramps since.
@@WMCS just the 2 front wheels as I was doing an oil change at the time, it was a mondeo mk1 with a v6 lump in it, to this day I don't know what they went because I was alway religious about getting the wheels centered and square on the ramps, granted they were old ramps from then 70s but 5 ton ramps none the less.
Shin Gouki to be honest shin I prefer axle stands in my opinion you can set them firmly at at good jacking points. Even using the hydraulic ramps which you will see in the next hour as I’m editing a video..., unless the ground is completely flat I don’t use them ..,, let me know your thoughts when I post it soon.
Brilliant video and you are an excellent mechanic. If i was replacing my gearbox on same car as this, would i have to take the whole sub frame off? Or could i get it out with it dropped like you have done in this.
Drumnastix26 replacing the gearbox you could get away with the subframe still in. But you will have to disconnect the track rod end from the hub and remove the steering column pinch bolt and slacken the other side quite a fair bit. I’ve done it a few times and always managed.
You are a good example of a great mechanic man!!! Sorry to bother you I know this is not a fresh video but I’m wondering is that the same steps by the 2010 hatch back 1.8 petrol M32 gearbox cause more room? I’m thinking about to change my one. Any video out there similar with my car ? like astra or zafira ?Zoltan
hi have you plz got a list socket sizes and special tools I will need as got same car and going to give a good my self and is the anything I need when I do plates like line up tools thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Brilliant video!! I'm looking for a little advice. My 2012 insignia Estate has recently started making a very mild kinda smooth grinding/rubbing noise when pressing the clutch pedal to change gear but only between 1st and 3rd and not every time. The noise also seems to come from the driver side not the passenger side where the gear box is. Any ideas what this could be? Some have mentioned the clutch release bearing but said the noise would be heard from the passenger side and not pretty much the driver side wheel. I'll definitely be using this video if I need to open the gear box. Thanks in advance.
Just what I needed.. have no clutch pedal and fluid pissing out the clutch housing area.. assuming there is a hydraulic slave cylinder in there that's gone.
I like your professional work may good bless u I really wanna ask you about I just change the clutch and flywheel to my Opel insignia and the first day when taking it from the mechanic I feel the car is slower, not faster speeding like before, and then cut the engine off I wanna turn it on again doesn't want start like I try 4 times and when trying 5 times the car start but I hear like the startup hit on the flywheel and the flywheel it's new I just replace it
Followed this today and all was well... baring I could not for love nor money get the gearbox out through the gap in the archway enough to gain the level of access that is shown in the video. Is there something I may be missing that causes the subframe to drop down more when you rest the gearbox on it? My big worry is that I have a F40, rather than a M32. Am I doomed before I started? :(
Scratch that - all done! :) Did it a while back and all was good. Not sure if its a change in box - or mine was slightly different - but there is not enough clearance to get the box out. Mine is a F40 - and from the side has all the same markings as the video but I had to take off the gearbox selector tower on top of the gearbox to have it move into the space left by lowering the subframe. Great result! There are also a few different bolts - hex - but was no stress.
Ok. I'm rarely afraid of getting on back and working on the underside of my car.

@@WMCS Hey Kevin, thanks for your feedback, unfortunately this engine has chain and is on the gearbox side, I've seen lots of people taking off the whole engine in order to do the job. I'm trying to see if there's a way to avoid that, some they kinda make it but so far I've seen it on Mokka's Keep up whit the good work bro!

Help. Looking for some advice of some one that knows. Feel like my local garages are trying to fleece me. I had the RAC out, I have to pump my clutch due to gears not shifting. The mechanic said that there is air getting trapped, hence the clutch pumping, but both gear box and clutch are fine. He believes it may well just need bleeding. However, as soon as I speak to a garage they say, new clutch £600 with out even looking. At my wits end
Hi Kevin, great video! Will the drive shaft on the driver side can be removed from the Idleshaft? (Or comes as one item) As I can see on the video that you remove the whole thing. Thanks
@WMCS Thanks for the response, asking as I've got one which has been taken down but we can not separate them. We've even heat it up with torch but no luck.
Hi can anyone help. 91000 miles cdi 2l. Clutch noisy only at half way point. Drives well, no clutch slip and smooth. Does this sound like a thrust bearing? Hope it not the dmf!
I've had my clutch on my insignia changed and the crankshaft rear main seal since then had the mechanic change it twice keeps leaking presume there not doing the seal properly got any recommendations how to step by step what to do This guy didn't clean the area thoroughly he added non setting gasket sealant too How would you do it what going wrong? Just want my car back no leaks
@@WMCS I had it re done different garage They found there was no sealant on the bottom where it connects to the sump It all good now but cost me in 3 separate jobs 1k just for a seal :(
Dunno if this will reach you but I have a 2.0cdti and when I press in the clutch and rev the engine it makes like a valve kind of sound, every time I change gear, when the car is in neutral and rev it it doesn’t make this strange sound, ever heard of that lol, great vid btw
Great video pal, you definitely take pride of your job. I have a Vauxhall insignia 2012 petrol, needs a new clutch, any prices? In hitchin Hertfordshire 👍
Good instruction with one problem- car is in too good condition :). Once you will do it on older car with lot of rust and things start happening on the way it becomes a nightmare.

Does this.flywheel work on an Alfa 150 2.0 jtdm 125kw with F40 gearbox ? It's the same gearbox thats why i'm asking.
I wouldn’t know for sure. As different cars has different timing point from the flywheel.,even if parts fits like a glove it may not start at all.
Hi Kevin, great video! Will the drive shaft on the driver side can be removed from the Idleshaft? (Or comes as one item) As I can see on the video that you remove the whole thing. Thanks

outstanding my fiend how long does it take you to do a job like this ?
Did you have to pre tension the pressure plate before tightening it down?
Just tighten it down in a figure 8 incrementally
What ratchet brand do you use in this video?? 🤔
I often think it's easier on insignias to take the engine and gearbox out and work on a n engine stand
With how many Nm and which angle did you tighten the screws at the flywheel.

Would this be the same for 2015 model? Also. I think you've just saved me a lot of time not dropping the whole subframe
Same ..🍻
Good instruction with one problem- car is in too good condition :). Once you will do it on older car with lot of rust and things start happening on the way it becomes a nightmare.
Number 1
Great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just 40 minutes, easy to change, smart engineering. Haha.
How to line clutch to VAUXHALL insignia 2011
How much was the labour charge if I can ask that please...also time-scale..? Reckon on 4 hours possibly. ?
Thanks
Well my personal time is about 3.5hrs .,,
Labour charge a bit of a mystery like the Nessy monster
@@WMCS wow really. Just quoted £1400 for flywheel clutch kit fitted
or any advise from any one else that will be gratefully
How do you remember which bolt goes where?
I make sure I place them along a routined path as I work.
