As a non-mechanic, I appreciate you reverse-engineer a clutch to demonstrate how it works, and what common problems can be. I particularly liked the part where you disassembled the riveted plate to see the importance of those springs. Thank you for your time and efforts.

This is one of the most informative videos I've seen on KZread. Not only did you explain the basics, but you took it the next level explaining the springs and the dampening.

It only took me 8 years to find this excellent tutorial on clutch nomenclature. Let's see what I find in the next 8 years. Thank you for the information.

I have recommended this channel to so many people. This man takes a complex set of things and breaks it down for the less experienced person can gain a real working knowledge of what’s going on in a transmission. Thank you.

Now I know the science behind the experience. You are an excellent teacher! Enjoyed the video.

Thank you so much..I'm a marine engineer so when i went for my oral exams i couldn't explain how a pneumatic Hydraulic clutch for a schottel works, and they said i should just explain how a car clutch workss....i was even more lost and i failed my exams...come next time I'll be ready!! Thank you

these videos are priceless. in this wasteful day and age, the knowledge gained to help understand, troubleshoot, and potentially repair your vehicle from Paul is invaluable. Thank you sir!

One of the best explanations of the drivetrain function for the novice to the experienced. Sometimes techs now how to replace parts very well but now idea how it actually works. Chapeau to you sire for taking time out of your busy day to upload.

Finally, i just got the real and full explanation of clutch. Thank you so much for this!

Amazing video. Finishing up a transmission swap in my 66 mustang and seeing more in depth how each piece really works was invaluable!

Just the info I was looking for. It was one of those things I couldn't get my head around, what goes where and why/how. I finally get the physics of how all the parts work, thank you.

Never to old the finer details as to what really goes on out of view. Thanks a million.

Pretty neat. I always wondered what the springs were for and now I know! Thanks

Thank you very much! This video was incredibly helpful! I'm working on a clutch now and noticed it wasn't worn down terribly but I wasn't getting clutch release. Now I know why. People like you make the world a better place. I hope you continue with the videos. Thank you!!

Excellent video! Taught two of my three sons how to drive manual, this video helped them understand the mechanics and made the experience less painful for me. 😉thanks!

Great instruction Paul, you saved me time and money. I did a clutch replacement years ago on my back in the garage WITHOUT a spline indexing tool.

Thank you very much sir.for the good explanation and for good illustrating the ideas for each part of the clutch assembly. Accept my regards from Iraq.

Very descriptive explanation. Thanks for sharing God bless you.

I'm going on my second year of successfully driving my TKO-600 (in my 67 7.0L fastback grocery getter) after watching your video on how to take it apart, service it, and put it back together. I've always wondered what purpose those springs served in the clutch disc. And now I know! Thank you for this video!

Very informative and very demonstrative. Many people looking for this kind of information understand better when they're being shown how it works versus being told how it's supposedly works. Thanks for the great video

After adjusting the shifter linkage to factory specifications, reducing the play in the clutch pedal so that the release bearing makes firmer contact with the pressure plate diaphragm fingers to disengage the clutch disc and renewing the transmission fluid with Pennzoil Synchromesh my A833 works like a dream. So I got to thank you Paul for this fantastic tutorial because man does it feel good to fix it yourself, feels awesome.

Question. With the firmer contact of the release bearing with the diaphragm fingers, is the release bearing turning whenever the car is moving (whenever the clutch is engaged) (whenever your foot is off the clutch) and you are driving down the road. If so, how long will the release bearing last?

Excellent video Paul! I learned some things I didn't know that I didn't know about clutch design and what can go wrong. Nicely and clearly explained. Interesting to see what a 1950s Ferrari clutch was like.

One of the best basic videos I have come across. I was looking for a video to show my grandson how a clutch works so I can teach him how to drive a standard transmission. when I was a kid (100 years ag) everybody learned on a standard. I think it helps to see how a clutch operates in order to learn how to use it.

This has to be one of the best automotive educational videos I've ever seen. It's clear you understand the science and physics behind clutch technology and are able to relate it to a novice like me. Great stuff. When I get done watching this I'll be looking to see if you have any automatic trans videos. Thanks GBV!

I learnt a lot about clutches a few years ago. I drove a 1983 daihatsu charade and could not get a daihatsu clutch set for love of money so had to contend with a LUK clutch. Within a year the clutch collapsed catastrophically. After replacing the clutch 3 times in 3 years i found a daihatsu clutch. It turned out that the LUK thrust bearing was not the right size and caused too much pressure on the plate and it would cause the diaphragm to collapse. The daihatsu clutch lasted 10 years!!!!! Thank you for the reminder of how they work.

@GearBoxVideo

Often overlooked on replacement clutches is finger height. So what happened is the diaphragm was being over-centered causing early failure. Since you have no release bearing travel adjustment

Thank you! Very educational. Knowledge is power as they say. Understanding how things work, help troubleshoot problems and eliminate replacing unnecessary parts.

You're the man , very well explanation on the clutch plate springs and clutch hub assembly all revited together.
