Post by: davethediver on 21 July 2010, 16:12:26
Anybody know how difficult a job it is to change the clutch on a MK1 ford focus (its a 1.8 tdi) :question

Are you sure its the clutch and not the clutch master cylinder which is a common one on the Focus ;)

No idea pete will let you have a look at it at some point in the next week.

Driven autos for that long can't remember what a slipping clutch is like.

Just seems that when it goes into fourth and fifth that the revs go up but takes a bit longer for any pick up if you get where im coming from? Any suggestions?

Just hope it s not this DMF thing i read about on the ford forum although very little of what was said on there made any sense ;D ;D
