Mondeo Flywheel and clutch on a fiesta?
Is a mondeo flywheel bigger than a fiesta one and will it a fiesta??
Im just thinking if its bigger and fits i can fit a mondeo clutch which will have more surface area so will be better in theory
anyone know??

Just trying to get the car sorted for a brunters thrash in april.
Think im just gonna stick a std rsturbo clutch in with a std fiesta flywheel then as ive fucked two alcon six paddles so far in a very short space of time. The first one the clutch was fucekd to begin with (manfacturating fault) but second seemed fine for a while then just let go. Could be down to my lightened flywheel somehow? although i did have it re faced before fitting the clutch.
I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!

ap all the way i dont rate alcon clutches for fwd application they just dont last, ap four paddle with there new heavy duty cover 3560-2 will handle 350bhp then after that got to be a twin plate paddle
but in the mean time a standard rs turbo clutch should do the job nicely... i'll see you @ the thrash

aint seen you tearing around lately. hows things?
Yea im never going alcon again. Gonna switch back to a std flywheel just incase that was causeing probs and use a std frst clutch or maybe stg 1 organic for now and see how it goes. I havent got massive amounts of torque so i think it should be fine for awhile

In 2 of my clutch books at work they list the Fiesta RS1800 as having a 240mm clutch as std and the XR2i 16v having a 220mm.....anyone shed any light on this as I've not had a gearbox out of a RS1800 b4????

you should have if its a MTX box as all BC and IB5 boxes are bottom right reverse.
easiest way to tell
the xr2i will just be a std escort/fez box with a 220mm clutch

i dont know on the fez mate, but on S2 turbos you hve to cut and plate a bit of the chassis rail. Jano has done this a few times.
i could well be wrong witht he 240mm clutch in a fez being on a MTX box, but im pretty sure that the mondeo/240mm flywheel wont fit in a IB5 box.
