¡Hola! En un Ford Focus 2009, al reemplazar el clutch (embrague) siguiendo un estilo de bricolaje "old school," la arandela Seeger, también conocida como anillo elástico o circlip, generalmente se encuentra en la parte interna del eje de la transmisión. Su función principal es mantener los componentes del clutch en su lugar y evitar que se desplacen fuera de su posición. **Ubicación y Uso de la Arandela Seeger:** 1. **Retén del Eje de Entrada:** La arandela Seeger suele colocarse en el eje de entrada de la transmisión, justo detrás del plato de presión del embrague o cerca del rodamiento de la liberación del embrague. 2. **Montaje del Rodamiento de Empuje:** En algunos modelos, también se utiliza para fijar el rodamiento de empuje (release bearing) o para asegurar el rodamiento de apoyo en el eje. 3. **Precaución al Instalar:** Asegúrate de instalarla correctamente con los alicates para Seeger adecuados y verifica que quede bien asentada en su ranura. **Consejos de Seguridad para Cambiar el Clutch:** - **Desconecta la Batería:** Antes de empezar, desconecta la batería para evitar cualquier cortocircuito. - **Usa Soportes de Seguridad:** Eleva el auto con un gato hidráulico y coloca soportes de seguridad para mantenerlo seguro. - **Protege tus Manos y Ojos:** Utiliza guantes y gafas de seguridad durante todo el proceso. - **Marca las Conexiones:** Marca y recuerda la posición de las piezas para facilitar el reensamblaje. Espero que esto te ayude en tu proyecto de reemplazo del clutch. ¡Buena suerte con la reparación y mantente seguro!
Great video - thank you very much. I must say I spent a very long time last night trying to get the box to go back in but you made it look incredibly easy! Cheers from Australia.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! Working on gearboxes can definitely be tricky, but with practice and the right techniques, it gets easier over time. Cheers from wherever you are down under! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Thank you so much for the kind words-I’m really glad to hear you found the video helpful! 🙌 I always aim to make things as clear as possible, so it’s great to know it worked for you. Thanks for watching, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions! Happy wrenching! 🚗🔧 #DIYMechanic #CarRepair #ThanksForWatching
Great video, very informative. With the bellhousing partially bolted with few bolts could that not have affected the gearbox bleeding procedure ? Does it not require a sealant before you start to bolt the bellhousing ?
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you found the video informative! Regarding your question about the bellhousing and the gearbox bleeding procedure, let's address both aspects: 1. **Bellhousing Bolted Partially:** If the bellhousing is only partially bolted with a few bolts, it could potentially affect the alignment between the gearbox and the engine. This misalignment can introduce issues, especially when it comes to the operation of the clutch system. The misalignment might cause the clutch slave cylinder not to function properly, leading to difficulties when bleeding the gearbox because the hydraulic system relies on precise alignment for smooth operation. It’s essential to ensure the bellhousing is securely and evenly bolted to maintain the correct positioning of all components. 2. **Sealant for Bellhousing:** Typically, the bellhousing itself does not require sealant before bolting because it's primarily a mechanical connection that houses the clutch and flywheel assembly, allowing the gearbox to connect to the engine. The need for sealant usually depends on whether there are any mating surfaces that require sealing to prevent oil leaks, such as around the input shaft or when mating surfaces have a specific requirement for sealant due to potential fluid transfer points. However, most bellhousing-to-engine surfaces do not require sealant unless specified by the manufacturer. In summary, the main concern with the bellhousing being partially bolted is the potential for misalignment rather than a sealing issue. Properly aligning and fully bolting the bellhousing before bleeding the gearbox is crucial to ensure a successful bleeding procedure and proper gearbox operation.
Would I be able to follow this video exactly on a 2005 Ford Focus MK2 2.0L LX? I know that Mk1 and Mk2 have different layouts and I was just wondering to see if I can try to save myself some money. (ALSO, just a question, would it be an easy replacement to change to a single mass flywheel? I heard the Mk2 comes OEM with a dual mass flywheel? thanks!)
Hey there! While the video might not perfectly align with your 2005 Ford Focus MK2 2.0L LX, the general steps for replacing the clutch should still be applicable. However, it's always wise to consult your specific vehicle manual or seek advice from a professional mechanic to ensure compatibility and address any potential differences in layout. Regarding your question about the flywheel, the MK2 Ford Focus typically comes with a dual mass flywheel from the factory. Swapping it out for a single mass flywheel can indeed be a significant upgrade in terms of simplicity and potential performance gains. However, it's essential to note that changing the flywheel, whether from dual to single mass or vice versa, can be a moderately challenging task and may require specialized tools and expertise. Before diving into such a project, I'd recommend thoroughly researching the process, considering factors like compatibility, potential modifications needed, and whether it aligns with your driving preferences and goals. If you're not experienced with this type of work, seeking assistance from a qualified mechanic would be advisable to ensure the job is done correctly and safely. Best of luck with your DIY endeavors, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions
Fantastic video from beginning to end. I have found my clutch on my mk2 focus is beginning to slip. Does the clutch aligning tool come with the new clutch kit? Hello from Australia.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. For your mk2 Focus, the clutch aligning tool typically does not come with the new clutch kit. You will need to purchase it separately. Here are the links for the clutch alignment tool and a clutch kit that does not come with the alignment tool: Universal Single Plate Car Van Clutch Alignment Set Aligning Tool w/3 Collet -ebay.us/Qozdtk Good luck with your clutch replacement! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Greetings from the other side of the world!
I heard you are supposed to use sealant on the slave cylinder, otherwise gearbox oil can leak into the bell housing. Have you heard of this before? Loctite sells a specific sealant for it. apparently it's recommended. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Yes, using sealant on the slave cylinder is a practice some mechanics recommend to prevent gearbox oil from leaking into the bell housing. The area where the slave cylinder mounts to the transmission can be a potential point for leaks, especially if there’s any irregularity in the surface or if the seal between the components isn’t perfect. Loctite does indeed make sealants specifically for this purpose, and using one can help ensure a tight seal between the slave cylinder and the transmission housing. This is particularly important in vehicles where the clutch slave cylinder is mounted inside the bell housing, as any leaks could contaminate the clutch and cause significant problems. The specific Loctite product used for this purpose is often a flange sealant, such as Loctite 518 or 574, which are anaerobic sealants. These products are designed to fill small gaps and imperfections in metal-to-metal joints, creating a seal that can withstand exposure to oils and fluids. ### Key Points: 1. **Sealant Type:** Use an anaerobic flange sealant like Loctite 518 or 574. These are specifically designed for metal surfaces in transmission applications. 2. **Application:** Apply a thin, even layer of the sealant to the mating surface of the slave cylinder before installation. Be sure to clean the surface thoroughly to remove any oil, dirt, or old sealant. 3. **Benefits:** Helps prevent leaks that could allow gearbox oil to seep into the bell housing, potentially contaminating the clutch and causing slippage or failure. Using sealant isn't always explicitly required by manufacturers, but it can be a good precautionary measure, particularly if you're dealing with an older vehicle, or if the mating surfaces aren't in perfect condition. It's a small step that can prevent larger problems down the road.
There is no need to take the driveshafts out. Leave the hub nut just undo the bottom ball joint this leaves enough movement to take the shafts from the gearbox lay then out the way.

What oil did you use ?
I'm in the middle of doing mine videos grate help
Thank you
It’s 75w 90 fully synthetic gear oil
There is no need to take the driveshafts out. Leave the hub nut just undo the bottom ball joint this leaves enough movement to take the shafts from the gearbox lay then out the way.
Thank You
You dont need a special tool for the driveshafts they pull out if you pull on the hub.
thank you for the comment
