As an ex mechanic myself I am very impressed. Note to the DIY folks clearly Kevin is a pro with vast experience doing this every day makes the work look easy also he has super upper body strength gearboxes are heavy don’t expect to be able to copy him. He uses the electric impact gun a lot but he is very skilful with it if look carefully he turns down the power on the smaller bolts/screws to prevent shearing

Hi Kevin, great video! I've got a few questions, if you don't mind. 1. You applied a sealant on the slave cylinder. If I am not mistaken, Ford originally use an O-ring there, but it was known to cause leaking issues. So, a sealant was used instead. Is this correct? 2. We do not have that brand of sealant here, do you know of another brand / model sealant that would be comparable in the USA? Morotcraft sells a small tube called "Gasket Maker TA-16". 3. Would Motorcraft long life grease work in place of the red grease you added to the housing? Motorcraft part XG-1-E1 4. What do you think about using Sach's spline grease on the input shaft? 5. Lastly, does removing / reinstalling the subframe assembly have any negative impacts? Thank you!

Robert Baird thanks a lot for the review ... if I’ve never done a model before. Firstly I get really excited. Then I take about 5 mins and have a look around the engine bay and underneath.... The first thing I try and determine is wether it’s got a partial or full subframe. To determine wether the box will come out or stay into the subframe. Then the locations of the mount. And without further ado I crack on. Always have my earphones on. Some good music. I tune out the world. Get in a zone. Come hail. Rain or snow I don’t really notice it .... I love it .

Whoaaah, what a destruction! How can that car move with that clutch! And how long has it been that way! It is incredible! I am surprised that it has neither damaged the diaphragma nor the flywheel!! You can use that clutch as a grinder!! At 6:55 much water came out. Maybe the rain drain was plugged. Is de sealant for the CSC silicone? Other gearboxes have an o-ring as I see. The purge for this CSC seems easier than newest versions where the tube has to be semi-inserted. In those cases I find it difficult to imagine that all the air came out. This time it seems that you relied more on the spanners to fasten the gearbox bolts than your M18. Why? Space? You missed the spanners? :-) And this time you fastened them after rasing the gearbox. Other occasions are the contrary. Last: is it allowed to work on the pavement there? Here it is not, if it is public. Maybe that was not the case. Thanks a lot! Hope you can still working and waiting for next!
