Not expecting an answer because of the age of the video but I'm here because I'm about to do this job myself an this has helped me a lot because i was expecting a bigger job than it looks, but the only thing i question it why did you take the gearbox mount of this way is there a reason why it couldn't be taken off for the body side rather off the gearbox side?
Got nothing but respect for this man, i hope he gets his own place one day and he can do it in the comfort of a workshop. I used to do clutches outside my mothers house when i was young. I couldnt do it now
Great video and a great watch, I have two fusions both with 160k on the clock , still with original clutches. What milage did that fusion have when the clutch gave up? Keep the videos coming please 👍👍
Nigel that’s very good driving on your part in my opinion. On average I change clutches in them about 90k mikes. Thanks for the feedback and for supporting the channel.
Well i gotta hand it to ya, your a damn side less sweary than i am doing jobs like that 😂 mechanical work seems to stress me out something rotten. Good job on the vids always something to learn to make life easier ☺
grant gilbert thanks for your feedback... hey the swearing does work for some people. ... I suppose it’s some kind of self motivation 😂.... thanks for visiting the channel. Have a great Christmas and new year 🥳😊
Ive had my trusty 2004 fusion 2 since 60000 miles / 4 years ago and sadly at 146k miles mine needs changing not looking forward to changing the clutch in cold wet uk winter weather but when goes got no choice growls 😒😒 She been good to me though just basic maintenance and never let me down, has never failed an mot in 19 years, paid 330 for her no mot before plandemic which increased price of cars 3/4 times. I feel its my duty to look after her like she has done me, not looking forward to it but expecting it to be a very intimate relationship for some said hours wrestling er box off getting fluids all over my face!
Phil Neale Thanks for the positive message. It’s not bad at all as I wear a dry suit and thermal layer underneath. The correct clothing makes all the difference when working outside.
I watched the video a few times, its impressive, but looks as easy, so maybe i could do it myself. Not sure yet, you really need the right tools. But in the end it makes it a lot easier to pay somebody a few hundred for this job.
Great job! What area do you cover? As we speak my fusion is in the workshop, having the slave cylinder and clutch done. Too bad I only saw this video now.
This Ford Fusion 3 1.6i 16v EA52WFY sadly had been scrapped did a bit of research it had Done 156k miles my grandad had one It was a Fusion 3 1.6 like this But in red EO04JWZ
Juan Manuel Merchán Yes you have to bleed the system of air. Get someone to pump the pedal and hold it down, then crack the bleed nipple. And repeat several times.
i done this with my ford focus on thing whats the 3 bolts that hold on slave cyclynder were to big with the new one i had to vut about 10 mm off the bolts :( otherwise good video
Kayotics thanks a lot for your review and feedback. You’re absolutely right about the bolts. I always make sure I get the new bolt fixings whenever I fit them nowadays. Otherwise the only option like you said is to cut them down. .... I take it you’re a full time or part time mechanic.
Hi, great video. I am about to attempt changing the clutch and slave cylinder on my 2002 mk5 1.4 petrol fiesta. If, as you say, I will need new bolts for the slave cylinder, what size bolts will I need to get, please? Please keep the videos coming, I can watch them all day
Very talented & patient. Gives me a rough idea for when i do mine. (i will need a better trolley jack i now realise) haha. mine is the 1.4tdci not a 1.6 petrol and the clutch slave cylinder is leaking - so will replace the clutch whilst in there.
Emmett Brown you’ll definitely need to budget for a DMF as they are the main cause for the slave cylinder to leak .. Hope it goes all ok for you. They are not bad repairs them fords.
@@WMCS Thanks for the info Kevin, if mine is Engine Code: F6JA, F6JB then it's the cheaper one. Will have to have a dig around with engine codes to confirm. Tbh it's not economically viable to repair if it's dmf clutch, based on retail clutch price. Should have kept my mk2 vaux cav !
@@WMCS Log book states mine is F6JA1 so it's not a DMF clutch, you could confirm for me ******* is the reg. I will be doing mine on the drive - outdoors so wait for summer to appear i think.
