What I got upto today
« on: 28 July 2012, 19:14 »
Agreed to replace the clutch and DMF on a mates mk4 golf.
Never done one on these cars before. Bloody easy to work on............




He was going to go for the G60 flywheel and vr6 clutch conversion
however he needed the car back on the road ASAP so he just bought
a new DMF with clutch, pressure plate and release bearing..................


Car with the front raised and wheel off







Battery tray removed to give better access








Gear box out after 1 and a half hours.
Notice the confused look on my mates face. He hasnt ever tackled a job
like this before. It was all rather exciting for him










Old assembly from the top of the bay










Old clutch, Release beaing and pressue plate removed.
The clutch was wrecked, The cover and flywheel were really blue and scored












Old DMF awaiting removel











New assembly fitted, Notice my home made flywheel locking tool.

Although it was a really crude tool it worked perfectly









The car back on all 4's and running under its own steam once again.





Thanks for looking

Oh I would like to add incase anyone is planning to do this job,

You dont need to undo the wishbone ball joints at all,
I only undid the inner driveshaft bolts and tied the shaft to the anti-roll bar
