Right, this is for anyone wondering. Shade tree mechanic here. The job took me about a day to do, not including all the stupid little stuff (I need oil, and a few other bits and bobs for the car in general). I used all hand tools. EXCEPT. This man in the video is a BEAST. I couldn't hold the gearbox up, so I had to dangle a chain through to do it.
I made an inner CV joint separator. Used angle grinder to slice a cheapo fork wedge ball joint separator down its length. Then welded in a 5mm thick steel separator to widen the fork by about 40mm. It pops out the inner joints with one firm hit. Well worth the effort.
When u get the call and u r doing your parts gathering, u determine what type of oil it takes and make sure u have a sufficient quantity. And probably a selection of spare nuts and bolts and plastic rivets for the fender liners and belly covers. I always have a torch on the ready, so as to cherry red the exhaust nuts, although I have yet to c u deal with an exhaust removal. Almost all the cars and pickups I deal with, require exhaust removal, hence the hot wrench
All gearbox lubricants will be either 75w90 semi synthetic or fully synthetic. So I always have 10L of each on board at any given time. I have about 30kg of assorted nuts bolts fasteners of any size and threads. Cable ties. C clips. Retainers. Plastic pops and so on. I have yet to use heat to remove a bolt. Always WD40.., I suppose for exhaust if the bolts has been exposed to constant hot/cold then heat rust might need to be torched. I avoid removing exhaust and always find ways to work around it. What vehicle are most common in your roads.
95% r automatic transmissions. Quite a few SUV’s with big V-8’s. Quite a lot of work on the front of the engine on those monsters. Honda’s Toyota’s and Nissans. 60% of my work is check engine lights. Cars r smogged every two years and cel has to b out or it won’t pass. So no registration. Lots of scan tool and some scope work. Lots of brakes.
Great video thanks, I love the way you get the autel drive shafts out of the box magic, do the ever use a torque wrench on the clutch plate and flywheel bolts?
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Kashton Nathanael thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
The bottom arm pinch bolts (1:40) can be horrors to remove. Use a flat screwdriver to (slightly spread the clamp and rattle the bottom arm up and down the bolt comes out easily. If it’s rusted scrap the bolt and replace with high tensile.
Yh, bloody pain.... Had a long arse bar to try and pry it down, woudnt go down,opened that clamp as wide as possible, finally got it out Shame those ball joints only come together with wishbones, 35 quid a side now... 🤦
Grind the tip off a screwdriver so the end just fits the clamp slot. Keep it for next time. You can now separate the clamp without hitting the ball joint pin. Get yourself a pair of replacement ball joint rubbers. The old ones are probably split, but they are easy to replace.
Nice work! I enjoyed watching. I own 100hp and I see you have installed (replaced) a clutch that has 12 teeth. I am preparing to replace the clutch but I see that according to the OEM number all offered have 20 teeth. Does the number of teeth matters?
@@WMCS you probably meant the Punto EVO video ...I really admire your will to work on rain and bad weather in general.. 👍👍👍👍👍 I can only think that you recommend me an AP racing clutch? Both cars, on both videos, have 12 teeth on both old and new clutches ... on Panda I can see that the old clutch is AP, while the new AP on Punto is clearly visible on the box ... How does the AP Racing clutch compare to the SACHS Clutch set 3000 951 532 which is recommend to fit my vehicle? I'm located in Croatia, so AP is not available to me, but can order online... have any link to reccomend exact clutch set for Panda? And, just an idea... why don't you have some sort of "easy to assemble" tent above the car? Something like WRC service team have...
Great video! My daughter has a panda 1.2. I’m getting a screeching noise(like a fan belt slipping) when I press the clutch. I think it may be the release bearing?
My suspicions were correct, the release bearing was shot, which in turn had bent the pressure plate, thanks to this video, I changed out the clutch. The hardest part of it all were the ball joint pinch bolts and drop link removal, had to cut all three out 😂😂 thanks again!!!
Yes, the bearings are the weak point of the FIRE family engine + C514 series gearboxes in any model. But, the cars are simple, perfect for DIY repairs.
@@WMCS hi thanks for the reply appreciate it looking at your videos my seems simular to the combo, before I strip it down, I was struggling to engage 1st and reverse also a low biting point about an inch, now it won't engage gears defenatley clutch or possible slave cylinder I've checked master and have fluid coming through with no visible sign of leaks? Any info appreciated thanks
Nice work! Do you ever get to the end of the rebuild and find you have 3 bolts left over? 😁👍😎 I have the Panda 4x4 0.9 Twin air, have you ever done a clutch on one of those? Is it much different? What sort of mileage do you get out of the stock clutch? Cheers.
PD Tech we don’t seem to get any of the 4x4 ones. So my knowledge on that one will be limited. As far as I know. Correct me if I’m wrong. The gearbox is pretty much the same apart from the transfer box attachment. On average the mileage is roughly 80k miles we have found on these models.
@@WMCS Cheers for the reply, as far as I know the gearbox is standard 6 speed box, with drive going to the rear wheels through a central driveshaft and rear diff setup. I'm on 37k miles, clutch feels fine and I'm very cautious with it anyway so it should last a few years yet.
PD Tech to be honest I’d be very interested in doing a 4x4 version of them. I might go on the hunt for one and hopefully if I find one then will make a video of it.
@@WMCS Cheers! That would be very useful. 😎👍 There are a couple of models that look like a 4x4 but are just front wheel drive, the Trekking and City Cross. The 4x4 is very thin on the ground, only seen one other while driving around. 😎👍😁
These gearboxes are prone to wear in the input bearing which takes out the oil seal. First clutch lasts 80,000. Yay! 40,000 miles later, the new clutch starts slipping due to oil contamination. Boo!
Hey man thank you for the video. I need some advice please. I after changing the clutch, the clutch pedal does not have enough travel. Can you tell me where I might've gone wrong? Thanks.
@@WMCS thanks for your reply Kevin. When I put everything together I tried the pedal. It would not depress as before and I forced it to the point of breaking the slave cylinder😞. I put a new one, bled it but the clutch pedal still only moves a fraction of what it should. I fear I might have to remove the gearbox again but was hoping you could give me a few pointers to try first before doing that.
Hi Kevin, could you share me the link where I can buy this AP clutch kit and also the kit number, please? It looks like I am collecting clutch kits and none of them fit😂 Your help much appreciated.
Can one replace the manual transmission of a Fiat Panda 1.2, 2009, for an automatic transmission? It has only 51k do you think the clutch would need changing after I buy it. It has a full service history from Fiat and a new timing belt and new water pump.
Yes 🙌 t can be done. People do it quite often. You’ll need the matching module kit to the gearbox so I can be plugged into the canbus system. And you’ll need the matching shifting module.
Hi ...i have a 1.4 punto 2005 Those to cables from the shifter ....the top one ...after y change the clutch and put back everything....the top cable dos not have the initial position. The shifter is not right and y can't change gears.... And the pedal is soft..... Any idea??? Thanks
Andrei Marian Gall with regards to the pedal being spongy ... repeat the bleeding process again... you can view the most recent videos I’ve posted which shows the bleed procedure. ... let me know .. In regards to the linkage cables .. I don’t believe they are adjustable.. just double check that they haven’t been mixed up in the wrong locator position.

Tak jest. Olej (oraz woda deszczowa lub z mycia) może się w końcu dostać do sprzęgła/docisku i skrócić jego żywot. Wycieki trzeba ogarniać na bieżąco oraz NIE myć komory silnika/skrzyni (albo bardzo uważać, gdzie się leje).

You need to drain the oil first.

That is rubber grease. Stop bolts seizing up and helps the gearbox spline into the clutch plate.

How on earth do you remember where the different size bolts go, impressive.
Most of them fit in one place only. I use separate boxes for each area of the job. Overall it saves a lot of time.
