    @jordanbray5880 8 лет назад +5

    A good thing to do when replacing or changing a clutch is to resurface the fly-wheel to prevent unnecessary wear and to help extend the life of the clutch.

      +Stephen Ozoux Thought they were going to take the chance as they took off the flywheel to replace the bearing.
      Even a good pass with some sand paper would have cut it. But I guess if they didn't do it must have had their reasons.

    • @KrosWyred
      @KrosWyred 8 лет назад +5

      +Stephen Ozoux Didn't look like they broke the clutch in much either.

    • @boarderboi7

    I'm surprised you didn't machine that flywheel, it looked a bit buggered.

    • @miatamang
      @miatamang 8 лет назад +2

      +Patrick Archibald I was wondering the same thing. Get a new stock one or machine that shit atleast. I mean come on, you have it all apart already, why not?

    • @x808drifter
      @x808drifter 8 лет назад +3

      +miatamang The same reason they did everything else the way they did whit this car.
      Half assed.

    • @revolutionday1
      @revolutionday1 8 лет назад +1

      +miatamang I concur. Indeed....

    • @patrickarchibald6787
      @patrickarchibald6787 8 лет назад +5

      x808drifter my thinking exactly. When it's apart, you do that. The old buggered flywheel will cause the new clutch to wear prematurely, and will shudder. And usually you'd fit a lightened flywheel when you upgrade the engine.

    • @JesseSammons1992
      @JesseSammons1992 8 лет назад +4

      +x808drifter Thats the bummer part, by the time you get this far its not that much work to do it right. They didn't do a new rear main seal either, super cheap part.

    Should of done a rear main seal and machine the flywheel cause there's nothing worst then doing all that and having to do it again.

    • @TheBaylinator
      @TheBaylinator 8 лет назад +6

      +petej222 Yep, all serviceable items should be done when down there, bearings seals and fluids, and you should always machine the fly wheel when doing the clutch especially if you've been having problems with your old one.

    I think that the only reason he is short is because god made him like that for weight reduction.😂

    I think Alex would be so good in BBC Top Gear. He is so funny guy and he makes Car Throttle so good. But yeah, I wouldnt like to not have him here. Keep up the good work!
