Having only brake discs and pads under my belt, I have just successfully replaced the clutch on my Mini Cooper 2005 R50…all thanks to your superb video….Thank You!
This video push me to change the dead gearbox of my old r50 mini cooper by my own! i have done it and i must say that it was hard but you really gave me more than help with that great video! You are really generous to share all your tips for winning time !
Great video very informative. There must be a lot of editing to do and you get the camera angles really well. You clearly know exactly what you are doing. Well done, and thanks for sharing .
I did one of theses clutches today and it wont clear fear after . Slave cylinder looks fine . Was line up properly going pull it out tomorrow. You wouldn't have an idea what wrong wrong you . Clutch pedal feel fine full movement no play
Yes its stuck solid in gear if you turn it off stick it in gear its dragging. Like car wont to move even with clutch fully pressed . And jammed in gear cant pull it out

Having done a couple of these recently on both the Midlands and Getrag boxes, I can say that my life was made much easier having watched Kevin's videos. Cheers Kevin!
@@WMCS All good - hope the same for you. Any chance of a vid? 4 Hours is quick work - can you get the box out without dropping all the front bumper etc off?
An indication of a good motor tech. A difficult job done calmly,efficiently and made look easy. Hats off to you. The Milwaukee gun is a good bit of kit too. I find it Every bit as good as the snap on equivalent.
Alan Black thanks a lot for the feedback.... the Milwaukee is the best impact wrench I’ve had so far. ... even better than an air one. ... couldn’t do much without it. ... Alan I take it you’re a mechanic yourself ...?
mini clutch replacement is easy , don't need to remove whole front end to do job , just take battery and battery tray out , gives good access to all of it ,
@@likhwadube5937 i am 45 and have been working on cars since i left school at 16 . So fair to say i have been doing it for a while . I agree somewhat to what you say . In respect that some clutch replacements are a total mare . But the mini is a simple and easy one to do . I stand by the point you don't need to remove the whole front end to do it . Might make it easier with more access . But you don't need to do that .
Darren Frost Yes true, you don’t need to remove the whole front end. If you don’t, you would need to drop the subframe though and support the engine from above (front end removal is a lot more straightforward). I’ve met a guy who can drop the box on this Mini in 45mins, but even he doesn’t say it’s easy. Also true there are a lot more difficult clutch jobs, if you call this job easy then it will be interesting to know how much you would charge for this job.
Very good video and it has just encouraged me to subscribe to your channel/account now. You are incredibly fast and you do such a great job. No talking, no background music, just total business and getting the job done. Am-----azi-----ng am-----azi-----ng am-----azi-----ng. Kudos to you.
I love your videos and watch with so much interest, I have got to do a clutch on a friends Corsa B Combo van and just bought a 3 piece Transmech clutch for it brand new from ECP and am not kidding you with the discount code it cost me £10.88 i know it's not the best clutch in the world but the van has done over 230k miles and the lad only drives too and from work every day it doesn't carry any loads in the back, it has the 1.7 Isuzu engine in it and he loves it, with it being an old van i am just going to lift the engine part way out rather than splitting rusty ball joint bolts, exhaust has been replaced so no rusty problems thereand the rest is just fuel lines and wires so be easier.
Mark Mawson thanks a lot for the review and for sharing on our forum. .... oouhhh the old transmech.... have seen them Feather off the material in about 10miles... but for £10 ...it’s worth a try if it’s for a mate .... let us know how you get on with the actual gearbox part of the job. Always great to hear someone else’s experience on it.
@@WMCS i will do , with the friend being a truck driver he drives it like he has all the time in the world to get where he's going so he will treat his new clutch with kid gloves and will probably last him another 230k miles lol

Big job on a mini clutch no problem re gass on air conditioning if they are watching from Window are mine is in bits lol wtf I bet the main dealer charge for that job nice job and camera work
Do like your videos good job on the floor although releasing the air con pipe and letting it escape in the air like that is dangerous for us and the atmosphere
@@WMCS I know I do a/c work and you can clearly see and her the pressure as you released the metal pipe work I'm not hating it's bad snuff doin some clutches on ramps never mind on the floor hats off to you I was just saying
Great video, good to see you recording every step even the smallest of things. I'm currently replacing my gearbox (getrag) on the same mini just wondered if you had any advice on which clutch/bearing kit I should get? Cheers
@@WMCS thanks im at eurocarparts now getting the valeo kit! The diff in the gearbox threw a bolt out through the bell housing, not pretty haha I've heard this is actually a common problem on the 5 speed getrag?
Another great job done! One question though, do you not worry about filming the cracking off of the air con? I see it looks pretty much drained, but always worry some council twat will be watching somewhere and throw a hefty fine your way? Also, whenever you decide to move down to Devon way, there is a job and a ramp waiting for ya ;)
