Default Clutch replacement on blacktop mk2 mondeo

well was delighted to feel mine slipping last night.....is it still as big a job as it used to be? I remember phoning round a few years ago for a price and the mobile clutch man wouldnt touch it and just about only place that would was Ford and was about £450?! Or has someone found an easier/cheaper way to do it?

Cheers for any info

it will be a long, tedious job mate, but if your handy with a set of tools, and dont mind getting stuck in, you shouldnt have a problem, it will just take a while, as its not an easy job.

cheers for info lads

should have said there's no chance i'm doing it lol but just wondered why it was meant to be such a ball-ache. Take it the subframe is what makes it difficult.

can be done without taking the subframe right off,
just needs dropped down at n/s
box comes back far enough to change clutch,
225-250 in the normal rate these days
