ERST Gearboxes.
Are any of the shafts heat sealed onto other shafts.
I have another clutch slipping and this one has only done 900 miles.
I can confirm no wheel spinning - no oil leaks - no water leaks.
Cannot understand why another has gone south?
Beginning to think there is an issue else where.

Can deffo confirm all no oil or water on plate or leaking.
Its Motorcraft one.
Its not far of standard so not a power related issue.

How about a Clutch Pedal/Ratchet issue causing the Clutch to drag? (i.e. Not release fully).

Could be a possibility. It did have a new cable put on it not so long ago.

Yeah the ratchets are a bastard at times, advisable to swap it when fitting a new clutch.
Are the motorcraft clutches any good??

i opted for a AP one when i had mine because of the truobles id had trying to get a decent one and it was only about 165 bhp at the time
The car was so much different on the AP one you could really tell it was working properly.
