If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.
Another great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you
Great videos! thank you for doing this so well . It will help a lot of unfortunate mini owners!
Thank you Marcel for the compliment.
Another great video, my wife’s mini is an auto, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching and love the amount of detail! Nice one Mark 👌
Thank you Richard
Yep… the guy in the rain changing clutches being on his back is still a magician to me :)
Especially after your almost-drop… glad you did not hurt any fingers :)
I know, some mechanics are hard core lol I'm clearly a softy one haha
@@CoatsandGaiters will try my luck next spring on the Scenic. And I will for sure remember your paranoia strap :)))
@@withgrowinginsanity198 haha "The paranoia strap" !!! cant change a gearbox without one.
@@CoatsandGaiters available soon in a store near you ;)
@@withgrowinginsanity198 funny you should say that as they are....
6️⃣ Paranoia Gearbox Straps 🕔 05:25 🚧 amzn.to/2XC32SS 🚧
I marvel at the amount of gear you have Mark- Well done, tools for the job etc. I remember removing my sons engine from his fiesta without a hoist by myself...I jacked it up in stages onto blocks with a scissor jack and rope...No animals were injured in the process...I would be looking at some measurements to check clearances before I fit that tube. It could be that the one you removed is actually too short?
Hi Patrick, the secret to me is I prefer tools to cars lol, I actually haven't had a car on the road for a while now as I see tools as more use than the car itself. Bit strange really but given the choice of £210 road tax or an Engine support beam my logic says engine support beam and walk to local shops. I guess I'm lucky I can work from home so a car isn't vital to me and my wife drives so anything else she will collect for me.
Apparently the tubes snap a lot I have since found out. I believe the tubes are meant to be greased with a special grease which I now have otherwise the release bearing can stick and the force of the slave cylinder will actually tear it away. Makes sense now thinking about it.
iT'S ALWAYS USEFUL TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLES VIDEOS ON UA-cam SO WE CAN PICK UP TRICKS OR TIPS TO IMPROVE OURSELVES. Kevin-Albert Williams IS A GOOD CHANNEL TO WATCH IF YOU ARE DOING ALOT OF GEARBOXES. THOUGH I WOULD SAY THIS IS AN ADEQUATE VIDEO FROM YOU FOR A PERSON (AS YOU SAY, IS NOT A TRAINED MECHANIC)...! I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS, KEEP ON MAKING THEM...!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and compliment. Hopefully my videos give watchers a heads up on things and they can always modify their work accordingly. Getting that sneak preview on a job normally helps.
Excellent video. I have a question : is ir necessary to change the Clutch Release Bearing even if it’s in a good condition ?mi clutch failed in my Mini cooper 06 (totally burned) tanks
Thank you, The logic would be why not change it as it's cheap and if it fails your have to take it all apart again. I even put the part worn clutch back in but I'm very tight with money. Most would not advise what I do.
By any chance, do you have a recording of the noise/rattle the mini was doing?
My R53, has a rattle and no shop can seem to locate it. It sounds a bit faint and only under hard acceleration (specially when leaving stoplights). If revving the engine in neutral I don't get the noise.
Really great videos, thanks to you I'm setting up to work my car at home. Cheers.
Thank you and yes I do, here's the link ua-cam.com/video/fU60OoNoZDQ/v-deo.html
What grease did you use on the guide tube?
Think it was in the next video ua-cam.com/video/PfyDXT9i51o/v-deo.html
13:05 Is a standard brake cleaner ok to use on the clutch?
Yes should be
@@CoatsandGaiters Thank you! 👌👌
Hi I have got a Mini r50 what I have been working on and now have decided to put a mini r53 engine and gearbox in just wondered if you would be interested in doing it
Really appreciate the offer but my videos tend to be on standard procedures where I have a workshop manual to hand. How come your not wanting to fit it yourself? Would the ECU be different on the R53 to the R50? I say that as my Cooper is much more powerful than the ONE I currently drive and I presume it's down to the ECU being mapped differently. Sounds like a fun project. I'd love an R53 but the prices are going up and up now.
@@CoatsandGaiters yeah I have got the r53 ECU and everything I have also got the John Cooper Works
@@CoatsandGaiters upload a picture of the car I'm working on
The sleeve part is available to buy. Use Parts in motion in Exeter.
I think that's where I bought mine from. I discuss this here ua-cam.com/video/sIXgPDGotcQ/v-deo.html
@@CoatsandGaiters just seen it pal. The getrag box was fitted in the R50 and also continued on to the R56. The midland gearbox was used up until 2004 in the R50.
Also it’s easier to take the front radiator off to get the gearbox in and out. Put your trolly jack to support the engine ( lNo need for engine support) and you can lift the gearbox off and on by hand. Much easier and have fun with it.
@@snoozer009 Thank you Snoozey. The engine support wasn't the easiest to use.
Well that's scary ..as my clutch has a similar rattle but is not as aggressive. Tks
Apparently it’s fairly common for the bearing tube to snap. Only held on with 2 bolts. The previous Midlands box had 3 screws.
If you put the box back on you may want to replace the clutch fork. They wear over time. You can order the tube separately…… let me know.
As im writing this… some minis have a different fork design so in your case this problem is non existent
I'm have a bit of a weird personality trait and it takes a lot for me to order car parts even if it makes sense to save time. I'm one of those that will only buy a part if its broken beyond repair. I've replaced that tube but I would have welded the old tube and put it back in if I felt I'd get another few thousand miles from it. I'd be no good in business as I wouldn't charge the customers for parts if I could attempt to weld or make something to do the job.
