This is proper DIY mechanic stuff, not ponsing about with air rides and wraps with noisy boy racer exhausts like some other YTer's.
Your comment is very Miserable
@@georgepeg6167 very miserable indeed
This made me smirk. Although I hate air ride cars etc. Each to their own.
Heart like a lion to tackle that on your driveway James ! Imagine what you’d achieve in your own unit with a proper lift ! Fair play to you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've done so many engine and gearbox builds on my drive tooo, just wished I recorded sooner, especially vivaro engine out, gearbox, clutch and even cambelt on a rare 2.5vivaro🙄🙄🙄
Too right bad enough on a ramp
Couldn't agree more. I'm gonna roll the dice and follow your footsteps with my older brother's help. This is what convinced my to give it a go. Thank you brother. Clear, concise and well explained. Top man.
I believe that block on the subframe you pointed out is a counter weight for vibration damping. I think it's something to do with one side's driveshaft being longer/heavier than the other, so that weight counters that
Well done James, a man after my own heart. Proper driveway spannering. Memories of when I did the Mk3 Mondeo clutch on the drive.
every time I've had to drop a mk3 subframe the captive nuts have spun, grinder to the chassis to get to the nuts every time!
@@ninjabearhug Yes its a common thing. Stupid design.
Hello, YOU my friend have a natural ability to educate, teach, and explain that a majority of people and even teachers do NOT possess. I've seen mechanics with ramps struggle with this job so hats off to you.
I don't know what you do as a day time job and i'm not asking you to divulge but if you ever decide on a new career path you have something natural, well done and thank you, your videos are of the highest quality.
10 out of 10. Regards.
Loved every minute mate, looking forward to the next instalment...glad you resisted every other you tubers’ trait of having annoying background music constantly playing 👍👍
"No more waffling, let get on with this job"! That's why this is the number 1 car channel on UA-cam right now ✊
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pmsloooooooooolouder HAHA 😢😢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 really one thinks not 😂😂😂😂
# immediately starts waffling more 😂
Fantastic video really enjoyed it can't wait for part 2
Looks like you’ve been eating the same pies as I have during lock down 😂 glad your vids still going good have always helped me!
what has me going is the fact that when you start a job like this, it's you just gotta undo this bolt to get to this bolt to undo this bolt.......never ending list of undoing bolts just to get to one important part that need replacing, no wonder these jobs cost so much and how u manage to remember what goes where when its time to put everything back together has me in awe of how u manage to do this and you make everything look so damn easy! fair play to you mate, you have come on leaps and strides with these videos which are edited so beautifully, u really are my fav youtube garage channel. this content is great. keep it up man :)
I would have spare bolts if I did it. And then wonder why it was rattling 🤪🤣🤣🤣
Do yourself a massive favour..go Halfords and get some of the floor mats..insulation and comfy to lie on...
Bought them recently, mad how much of a difference it makes
I Always keep a few in the car , just in case
Get them zig saw mats aye
Rolson floor mats - 13 quid from Amazon
They look like what he has cut up, to cushion his gearbox jack.
Keep doing what you're doing. My missus doesn't understand why I watch a guy online change a clutch but I do! Great videos mate keep it up.
James, a much better presentation than some of your previous one's (less talking more action ) looking forward to the next video 👍🇬🇧
Your starting to make the harder jobs look easy mate keep up the good work.
I’m a mechanic 35 Years , That’s good kerb side work, you got stuck in no Moaning good work fair play to you
This channel deserves way more subs man looking forward to pt2
Excellent matey.! The cube in the sub frame is the dilithium chamber 👍
Dilithium chamber,that's something to do with space ships,that's what Google told me
@@paulford234 or the flux capacitor, not sure now👍
The sheer dedication is why you have the best driveway DIY car videos on YT james
I tackled the Insignia DMF, clutch and slave cylinder a couple of weeks ago. The box was just as heavy, maybe more - but it was not a job that I would again lightly. I had the exact same problem (I also have a MK4 Mondeo as well - the same as you, but luckily no clutch issues on that).
I only lowered the left side of the sub-frame down partially and rested the box on it, enough room to get the job done. Otherwise, I'd have to get it on my chest and onto the floor, which even for me isn't an easy job. Yep - I also did it on the driveway. Hats off to you for taking on such a brutal job in this... British weather! Also, I had to fight with the dreaded "flywheel spin" where the bolts were inaccessible without an angle-grinder. Yeah, it was a fun job,
Remember not to dry-bleed the slave cylinder as it can lead to premature failure. Prime it instead.
Another great video, really appreciate the effort and work and can't wait to see this one come together. Keep up the hard work and I look forward to the next one.
Can I just say, I have a Ford C Max and have only just started out repairing my own car due to costly errors by experienced mechanics. Using tutorials in a "STEP BY STEP" like manner, is what allowed me to rebuild the entire front suspension which was challenging but so rewarding in many ways. It's hard to find videos like yours on clutch work, so if you please,... the more intricate, "STEP BY STEP... Bolt by Bolt with good lighting and good angles" the better. Hell, your videos are better than the notorious Haynes Manuals. Keep up the good work. Well Done!
Fascinated with your confidence on taking on this sort of job on your driveway. Great informative video. Good to see you were able to establish the exactly the extent of repair required. Well done!
I am a Bangladeshi, I like your work very much .... I am learning the work of car engine in Bangladesh, I really want to make a living by working with good and skilled teachers like you.
I love it when you do long videos like this always learn something new very entertaining James looking forward to part 2 keep the good work up 👍😁
Hi. Today is the day when I have to do the same repair :) I haven't replaced the clutch for several years, thanks, your video is very helpful :)
Absolutely love the way you explain everything, when you working on car's everything seems to be so easy 😀
Your a brave man tackling that on your driveway 👍 looking forward to seeing the rest of this 👍
This video is brilliant , nice audio, nice visual, nice narration ,nice camera work... Great stuff James..
thanks for taking the time to do videos and showing how its done well done james
Been watching you for a while now and was well impressed with the Skoda Gear Box, but this is just brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
I like the direction your channel is taking James. Lots of detailed repairs on things that a commercial garage would charge £££ for that are interesting to watch. Your editing and camera work have also improved. I like the detailed angles you show as you disassemble/examine things. Your channel deserves more subs.
You're my absolute saviour! My clutch (DMF) is playing up. I'm doing it on my drive over a few days. Watched your vids, so many tips etc. Thank you
Love your work James! I'm glad it's been smooth sailing for you... and touchwood, that it will be smooth sailing when putting it all back together.
Great video , your a brave man stripping out all those parts 💪 looks like a massive undertaking. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Top geezer and youtuber!! Glad you back in the swing of things!! Looking forward to the next video! Keep up the good work and more success will follow💪
Hello James, Thanks for showing and doing a how-to video on this ford I
really enjoyed watching it, and I'm really looking forward to part 2. I
have a focus and I do all my own repairs also
Good video, very clear and well presented, and no annoying music, great job, you certainly know your stuff, your enthusiasm is infectious. Very enjoyable.
Those dual mass flywheels are a pain in the arse. If they lose true motion they will lunch a clutch really quickly. Another great video!
Great video James, massive props to you for tackling this. So many bolts haha. Looking forward to part 2.
what a superb and informative video!!
Great video James. Do like these mondeos. You make everything look so easy. Really enjoying these videos. Brilliant thanks. Look forward to next one.
Love the level of detail that you put into your videos. 36m that go by really fast, also great to share what are you following to get the job done and how you go about it. Keep it up!!
Well done James for tackling such a big job I don’t think I would’ve liked to tackle that !
Great work and well done.
I love when older cars saved. My dad also has 05' mk3 Mondeo. It doesn't even has any rust. Told him to keep it nice and tidy until wheels fall off, because it isn't worth anything. Nice work you have done :)
Great video, learnt so much in this video, can’t wait for next one!!
Maate, this was brilliant. You make it look easy, especially on a drive way. Well done 👍
Well done tackling that on your drive. I know what its like trying to do repairs between windows of rain! Your videos make me want to attempt more in-depth repairs like this or timing chain etc, but they're supposed to be an absolute nightmare on my car (x-trail).
The good thing about you recording is you can easily find out where everything goes when you're putting it back together 😆 Looking forward to part 2.
Great video mate. Been looking forward to this one. Keep up the good work!👍
Super vid James !! No messing about - just straight on with the job. Can't wait for the next instalment :-)
Came across your channel recently pal and I’m loving it. So good!
I can see the flywheel.
*nervous laughter*
Great videos mate. Just subscribed and working my way through your great channel. Keep up the good work.👍
That impact gun is a god send. Couldn't do the job without it. Great Work !
Nice to see what a dual mass fly wheel. Look forward to the next video.
Great great video mate thanks for showing the process like you do,. I'd never have the balls to try this but really enjoyed watching and learning from from you. Top stuff. 👍👍
Gotta love an impact driver/wrench , such a versatile tool, and makes life much simpler
Absolutely awesome fella. Top marks and thank you for posting!
Great content James well done mate.Did a similar job on my 07reg Volvo V50 2.0D a few years back , took me about 3 days 😂 . Got to say your channel is one of the most informative out there for the driveway mechanic.
I’m attempting this tomorrow wish me luck lol thank you for a great video definitely going to help!
Keep these longer videos loved every part looking forward to number 2
Thanks for the video. Awesome approach and interesting content.
Great video loved the content 👌 definitely learnt something looking forward to the next one. Stay safe mate 🍻👍
you are lucky with that flywheel they often get stuck and the centre part requires cutting out to get to the flywheel bolts to get it off
So satisfying doing your own work.
Can't wait for part two! I have on of these and you make it look doable
Great video James and you've a heart like a lion to tackle that job without a lift.
One of the best Channel on UA-cam 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟
Great job mate!
Doing a great job here James, you can be proud of yourself!
That motorbike lift looks very handy, ordered one as i am also having to do the same job on my car later on.
Perfect timing 😎👍
Great video James and so informative that’s why your the #1 on the UA-cam channel
Well done, James! That is the most complicated gearbox removal I have ever seen. That’s because all the gearboxes I have removed were in front engine, rear drive vehicles. I haven’t heard kaput used for 60 - 70 years, when used by my grandfather. Not at all boring.
Omg, that's alot of bolts. How do you remember which is which. I'm glued to this type of content so please keep it coming. Legend James.
James love all your videos especially on Mondeos.
Really impressing work. So many steps.
Another awesome video James got the channel absolutely shocked to see the state of the flywheel ever seen one that bad before great work mate look forward to part2 👍
Thats a big job I look at my Mondeo and think NOOOO well done mate great content a very hard job on a driveway.
Great video pal! Looking forward to the next one.
Love the idea of the motorbike stand under the gearbox..Great work....
Absolutely awesome job
Well done James, you give us all hope. At least I've got a nice wide driveway to work on.
Top work James 🙌
It takes a lot of guts to tackle this massive job in your driveway. I have a double garage and won't even attempt this. Well done!!!
Thx for the great video, I'm going to do my BA7 2.5T clutch and flywheel next week.
Nice one mate, great video and content. Keep going you done great job!
Awesome video man absolutely brilliant 👍🏻
Hi James,, I'm following you a long time and safety is a big factor with you which is great,, keep the good work going as everybody enjoys your work ,,
Excellent video Savage Garage, Best wishes.
Well done James another good one as always I do love your videos bud far play to you doing jobs like this on your drive nice one 👍
That box looks like a transducer for the production process at the start to finish on assembly line
Yeah the gearbox is so heavy on these. Last time I done a clutch on one of these we loosened all the subframe bolts, took the passenger side ones off all the way and there’s just enough room
Thanks James another top video ‘ how to ‘ wish you were about in the 70s when I was working on my car to show what the hell to do lol. john. Hartlepool
Loving watching ur videos and it's cool that helping out getting the sticker as it turned up Friday
When you fit your new pressure plate there is a procedure to be aware of it is the self adjusting type.
The three little springs will be fully compressed on the new pressure plate and need to still be fully compressed once the new plate is tightened down.
If you trigger those springs when you fit the pressure plate the clutch won't work properly.
There is a £400 fancy tool to do the job, you can make your own for about a tenner. If your Haynes manual for a Mondeo is as useless as my Volvo Haynes manual this won't be explained very well.
The other way is to fit the pressure plate and tighten the bolts very gradually and evenly keeping a close eye on the three springs to make sure they haven't moved.
Alan Howatt has a good channel, well worth watching.
To save a lot of sweating when you refit the gearbox you can cut some bits of M10 studding about 100mm long and screw them into the engine, then slide the gearbox on over them, makes life a lot easier.
I'm sure you already know, but that steering rack pinch bolt inside the car is a one use item. Keep on keepin' on!
Great have watched many of this mans videos. And as it happens just got my self s mark 4 mondeo so this will come in handy . Top man . Oh and done a clutch on a mark 3 and that gearbox was so heavy it was unreal .
You’ve got guts to do this job on your own on your driveway 👍👍👍👍 I can do most jobs but wouldn’t tackle that 😀 Cracking little impact btw-can’t believe it wizzed those driveshaft bolts out so easy 👍
Good work tackling that on your driveway , keep up the good work.
Fair play mate,you have bigger balls than me,I could take all the parts off easily its just putting it all back together, I would be flapping about,loosing bolts,spanners,cursing. So well done buddy
Ahhh what a fun job... Remember doing my mates Volvo V70 clutch on my drive (same mechanicals as the Mondeo) 👍🏻
Very good video, you have shown all interesting points to take care of. Thanks a lot for your work. I subscribed to your channel as well. 😉
Cold beer and new episode, perfect evening
