HELLO Mr Wiliams...i just came across this by accident. I am a retired mechanic, who started out in 1970 on cars and then diesel busses. My thing was clutches at that time, and i could do a clutch job ....on certain cars like vauxhalls, and bedford vans, in about 1.3/4 hours. It has brought back a lot of memories. There is no way today i could do as you do, and i am in admiration on your ability, and that sequence you do your clutches in....i like that. For anyone reading this...if you need a clutch done outwith the garage pricing...this guy is your man. Cheers Kev.

G'day Kevin. I've been flat on my back attempting to remove my '08 i30 diesel's gearbox all day. I have the utmost respect for you doing this stuff as an occupation! I watched your 2012 i30 diesel video and then quickly learned that it's nothing like mine. Aussie market i30 diesels seem to differ in that they have a totally different suspension A-arm setup and run a front subframe which makes things interesting! It looks like I'll have to drop the subframe to get the 'box out. Tomorrow's another day! Take care Kevin and cheers from down under.

Hiya Russ.., someone else brought up that subject .., apparently the Asian market has a different suspension set up to the European market .., someone else also mentioned the sub Saharan market has an even completely different mount and subframe set up altogether.

It is nice and confident work, no doubt. And I've done a few of those myself on the floor back in the days (thankfully, not outdoors). But there is no way I'll be doing it again. It was OK-ish when I was in my 30-ies, but I'm nearing 50 now and all that hard work comes back at me with revenge. I have a warm bright shop and a lift now and even like that I often think that I should have chosen a different line of work. As much as I love working on cars all my life, the reward this job pays is not worth the effort one puts into it.

Great video Kevin! Im really impressed on how effective and smart your solutions are. I just wanted to give a tip/heads up on something small i noticed in your video. I do a lot of car detailing myself and would really recommend you to have a All purpose cleaner at hand to wash off any oils or dirt that may have occured on the paint while doing the job. Some people are crazy about their paint finish and using a dirty papertowel may trigger some detailers out there :) A clean microfibre towel and any all purpose cleaner for paint would do the job just fine and significantly minimize the chances of scratching the paintwork. Enough of my whining, hope you have a great day and i will be looking forward to future videos!

You must have neck muscles made of steel. I was born in the uk and when I was young I remember just before Christmas removing the entire engine and box from my MK3 cortina. I laying in the snow. I got the whole job done and was feeling good about it. I got in the car to check the clutch peddle and it went straight to the floor. I jumped out to see if I had forgotten something and there on the ground was the clutch lever plate that presses against the clutch. Had to start again I was gutted. All credit to you that is hard work to do once but your doing it over and over.

@@WMCS Not sure in the UK as im in Australia. Any good reputable Wrok wear place should have a one-piece, overall suit made of goretex. Not sure if it's your thing but look at the hi-viz stuff. In dark, inclement weather, hi-viz a good thing. Also look at motorcycle shops for a one-piece goretex suit. They are better hugging suits and possibly something more akin to your style. As you're only rolling on the mats, they should last a fair while. On the topic of hi-viz mate, I would seriously consider marking your work area with plastic bollards or at least a few tall-ish witches hats. You want to keep pedestrians, kids and other strays away. Safer for them and for you. Keep wrenching. Fight the good fight.

Nice job. Reminds me of my younger days before I'd worked for dealers and my not-so-younger days after I got out of the gig when I still had both of my own knees and both of my own shoulders, instead of titanium ones, and could still work on my own cars out in the driveway. Since I don't use it and it looks like you need one, if you were closer I'd ship you my old transmission jack. However, unfortunately it would probably cost more to send it across America and across the pond to you than it's worth.. Save your back and legs and get one - even a cheap one would be easier than messing around with that trolley jack to control the height of that engine/transmission. How did you know ahead of time that you'd need a new flywheel for the third and fifth jobs? Do you just order a new flywheel, pressure-plate, clutch disc and throw-out bearing for every job and then use only what you need and then return what you don't use?
