on the way back from totb the clutch on the escos started slipping,not surprised after some very hard launches,
took it to bits and found the plates a bit worn and general heat spots on the plates.so cleaned it all up ,made some adjustments to get the clutch to grip,and refitted it.
got the box back in and tried the clutch,and its now pissing out all the fluid from the center push hydraulic unit,obviously i have fooked up refitting it lol,
so cant be bothered to take it out again,so its not going to ford fair.
i will have to go in the old mondeo.
this was to be its last trip out before being broken for spares to make way for the new fwd project,as usual its gone fubar again..so i have some track time if anybody is interested. and will post the car for sale or parts later.
