My VW bus broke down on the freeway, My first thought was the brand new installed transmission but after removing the electric motor I found a surprised in the clutch

    I know this video is now 5 years old. But in my experience, most (nearly all) engines, transmissions, diffs, machinary, will "make" a fair bit of metal accumilation on the drain plug magnets during break in periods. This is normal, and why most of us older mechanics recommend the first oil changes be done after roughly a couple of thousand km (or about a thousand miles).

    The math is clear…way way too much torque coming from the motor

    Get one form a Rally car it will last for ever

    Very common 50 dollar part. You might wanna buy a couple cuz you probably have more torch with the electric

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Hill says:

    50 dollar part….happens all the time..but still those metal shavings are a problem

    Don't press in clutch for going DownHill.

    but conversions can handled without clutch

    Somebody drag racing with their bus somebody quick shiffing somebody dumping the clutch too fast I know it's not me I wonder who is this 🤔

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tree Frogs says:

    Manual transmission running electric motor you have to increase the body of the oil viscosity 80

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tree Frogs says:

    People do not change your transmission oil at 50000 mile but the old buses a lot of people never follow the maintenance however that's the reason you get a lot of won parts some people never known you supposed to change manual transmission oil every 50, 000 miles

    From my experience converting my diesel 1982 originally I use the original transmission I change it to 5 speed after 2 years there wasn't any problem I gain top-end speed

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tree Frogs says:

    If the transmission break again use a diesel 1982 transmission Vanagon because of the torque 5 speed transmission it will resolve a headache and you will gain top speed

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Noah Juliano says:

    could you use a centrifugal clutch on a car like this?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Raymond J says:

    ive been a mechanic a very long time and ive never seen that before i even run drag race cars with 1200 HP and still never seen that lol

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John GREEN Ferguson says:

    You don't need a clutch on a EV… LOL
