Got nothing but respect for this man, i hope he gets his own place one day and he can do it in the comfort of a workshop. I used to do clutches outside my mothers house when i was young. I couldnt do it now
Well i gotta hand it to ya, your a damn side less sweary than i am doing jobs like that 😂 mechanical work seems to stress me out something rotten. Good job on the vids always something to learn to make life easier ☺
grant gilbert thanks for your feedback... hey the swearing does work for some people. ... I suppose it’s some kind of self motivation 😂.... thanks for visiting the channel. Have a great Christmas and new year 🥳😊
Phil Neale Thanks for the positive message. It’s not bad at all as I wear a dry suit and thermal layer underneath. The correct clothing makes all the difference when working outside.
I watched the video a few times, its impressive, but looks as easy, so maybe i could do it myself. Not sure yet, you really need the right tools. But in the end it makes it a lot easier to pay somebody a few hundred for this job.
Very talented & patient. Gives me a rough idea for when i do mine. (i will need a better trolley jack i now realise) haha. mine is the 1.4tdci not a 1.6 petrol and the clutch slave cylinder is leaking - so will replace the clutch whilst in there.
Emmett Brown you’ll definitely need to budget for a DMF as they are the main cause for the slave cylinder to leak .. Hope it goes all ok for you. They are not bad repairs them fords.
@@WMCS Thanks for the info Kevin, if mine is Engine Code: F6JA, F6JB then it's the cheaper one. Will have to have a dig around with engine codes to confirm. Tbh it's not economically viable to repair if it's dmf clutch, based on retail clutch price. Should have kept my mk2 vaux cav !
@@WMCS Log book states mine is F6JA1 so it's not a DMF clutch, you could confirm for me ******* is the reg. I will be doing mine on the drive - outdoors so wait for summer to appear i think.
Great job! What area do you cover? As we speak my fusion is in the workshop, having the slave cylinder and clutch done. Too bad I only saw this video now.
Not expecting an answer because of the age of the video but I'm here because I'm about to do this job myself an this has helped me a lot because i was expecting a bigger job than it looks, but the only thing i question it why did you take the gearbox mount of this way is there a reason why it couldn't be taken off for the body side rather off the gearbox side?
Great video and a great watch, I have two fusions both with 160k on the clock , still with original clutches. What milage did that fusion have when the clutch gave up? Keep the videos coming please 👍👍
Nigel that’s very good driving on your part in my opinion. On average I change clutches in them about 90k mikes. Thanks for the feedback and for supporting the channel.
Juan Manuel Merchán Yes you have to bleed the system of air. Get someone to pump the pedal and hold it down, then crack the bleed nipple. And repeat several times.
This Ford Fusion 3 1.6i 16v EA52WFY sadly had been scrapped did a bit of research it had Done 156k miles my grandad had one It was a Fusion 3 1.6 like this But in red EO04JWZ
i done this with my ford focus on thing whats the 3 bolts that hold on slave cyclynder were to big with the new one i had to vut about 10 mm off the bolts :( otherwise good video
Kayotics thanks a lot for your review and feedback. You’re absolutely right about the bolts. I always make sure I get the new bolt fixings whenever I fit them nowadays. Otherwise the only option like you said is to cut them down. .... I take it you’re a full time or part time mechanic.
Hi, great video. I am about to attempt changing the clutch and slave cylinder on my 2002 mk5 1.4 petrol fiesta. If, as you say, I will need new bolts for the slave cylinder, what size bolts will I need to get, please? Please keep the videos coming, I can watch them all day
Ive had my trusty 2004 fusion 2 since 60000 miles / 4 years ago and sadly at 146k miles mine needs changing not looking forward to changing the clutch in cold wet uk winter weather but when goes got no choice growls 😒😒 She been good to me though just basic maintenance and never let me down, has never failed an mot in 19 years, paid 330 for her no mot before plandemic which increased price of cars 3/4 times. I feel its my duty to look after her like she has done me, not looking forward to it but expecting it to be a very intimate relationship for some said hours wrestling er box off getting fluids all over my face!

If only it's as easy doing this as it was shown here.
Great job mate! You sure do make this complicated job look easy.
10k subscribers without a video thanks for the feedback pal...
Great video-thanks. And some good camera work to get those views of some tricky spots. Thanks for posting this
So methodical it’s a pleasure to watch just be careful you don’t lift the car off the axle stands your strong brother !
😁🍻.,, thanks I’ll make sure of that.
Thankyou very much for your video and demonstrating how to replace a clutch, very helpful.
Trevor Gilbert glad to hear the video came through as help. Thanks for the feedback
Brilliant! 👍 Great video! you make it look very easy "chapeau bas"!
My favorite car
*Very well for the video it is well explained with all the details to change the clutch. Congratulations on the job. Angel*
Hi Angel
Thanks for the feedback and definitely for the support. Very much appreciated
I'm going to attempt this over de weekend. This is a great video!
It’s not a bad repair. Fairly straight forward. Let us know how you get on. ✨✨🍻🍻
@@WMCS well you show the order of the bolts and the best way to do it. I've got a bridge installed last weekend so that oughtta make it easier
@@WMCS we can't get the short axle back in. Any tips?
I can watch yours clips all day long.... You're a great professional and you are very speed
gregos73
Thanks Gregos.
gregos73
Are you french.
@@WMCS yes I am
Fusion is a great car.
My grandad used to own a Fusion 3 16v petrol 1.6 in red actually very rare and fusion 3 meant u got 15 inch alloy wheels and valour interior
This is gonna help alot, last time i changed a clutch was on a mk 3 fiesta many years ago 😆
Great job, but don't forget to add transmission oil!🤓
Bravo pour cette vidéo ce n'est pas évident de changer un embrayage sur un parking. 👍👋
Well done ! Not many people would do it on their own, plus video it as well.
Thanks for the feedback
Forgot to ask, why did you drain the oil ?
Well i gotta hand it to ya, your a damn side less sweary than i am doing jobs like that 😂 mechanical work seems to stress me out something rotten. Good job on the vids always something to learn to make life easier ☺

Great respect.!!!
Andrzej Kowalczyk thank you. Hope you’re keeping well
Finally someone who knows what the hell they're doing five star mechanic.

Very true. It takes a lot to work in the blazing 🥵 hot summer. Was just saying it a few days ago to a customer.

You are a great men.!!!

Emmett Brown if you send over your registration I can find out.

Emmett Brown it’s definitely got a a DM Flywheel going by the registration...

I just found it worked for me. But other ways are possible I suppose.
Right ok just thought it was because something was in the way an you have to remove more stuff just to get at it,,,,thanks for quick reply!

Fantastic video Is it necessary to purge the circuit when reconnecting the tube coming from the clutch pedal?
Juan Manuel Merchán
Yes you have to bleed the system of air.
Get someone to pump the pedal and hold it down, then crack the bleed nipple. And repeat several times.
I'm not really an experienced mechanic would I be able to do it is it an easy job!?
Well I wouldn’t know how to answer that one. I can only base it on my own skill level. Which is a small repair.
Cool video, thanks. Can I ask how much should a mechanic charge if I bring my own clutch? I'm driving exactly the same car
Wojtek K
It all depends on your local garage hourly rate. But the book time for it is 4 hours.
@@WMCS Thanks!
How much would you charge for a Vauxhall combo 1.7 diesel. I have all the parts
volvovoyager
Send over your full reg and I’ll let you know.
Hello its yp53dex.
I have a black Ford fucion 2004 1.4 diesel is it the same?
Yea almost identical
This Ford Fusion 3 1.6i 16v EA52WFY sadly had been scrapped did a bit of research it had Done 156k miles my grandad had one It was a Fusion 3 1.6 like this But in red EO04JWZ
Great car …
Hi can you tell me for fiesta 1.4 tdci 2004 year do you need to remove front subframe to remowe gearbox?.Thanks
Should be the same on the mk6 fiesta as well as the fusion there based on the same platform
i done this with my ford focus on thing whats the 3 bolts that hold on slave cyclynder were to big with the new one i had to vut about 10 mm off the bolts :( otherwise good video
Kayotics thanks a lot for your review and feedback. You’re absolutely right about the bolts. I always make sure I get the new bolt fixings whenever I fit them nowadays. Otherwise the only option like you said is to cut them down. .... I take it you’re a full time or part time mechanic.

How much does that cost?
Love & Honour Love with parts it’s roughly about £300...
Did you replace the clutch?
Ive had my trusty 2004 fusion 2 since 60000 miles / 4 years ago and sadly at 146k miles mine needs changing not looking forward to changing the clutch in cold wet uk winter weather but when goes got no choice growls 😒😒
She been good to me though just basic maintenance and never let me down, has never failed an mot in 19 years, paid 330 for her no mot before plandemic which increased price of cars 3/4 times.
I feel its my duty to look after her like she has done me, not looking forward to it but expecting it to be a very intimate relationship for some said hours wrestling er box off getting fluids all over my face!
Lol out of interest, whats the word SOAB uve worked on?
Mini R50 5 speed supercharged takes the trophy 🏆
Wrong! You didn´t replace the gear oil!
