Going to be doing one this weekend. What's the job like? Is there much space to get the box in and out or is it a pain? Is the slave cylinder inside the box?

im not a 100% sure but I think the subframe needs dropping on these

crazydan

if its the saem as a 1.8 ecsept the starter is at the front
slave cylinder is inside the box

pece of cake u might need new ball joint bolts there common for cezing/snaping

really easy to do though plenty of room

and u dont hafto take the subframe off

Escy

Hope it's like that, don't want to have to drop the subframe

my info may be incorrect, i looked into changing a clutch on a 1.8 focus for a mate but was told the subframe needs dropping but as i say im not sure how accurate the info was

Mrk1 focus is an easy car to work on

Just had the clutch done on my diesel focus and deffo no need to drop a subframe

Escy

Cool, cheers guys

when i did my 2.0 clutch didnt have to drop the subframe just pull the engine and gearbox forward abit and you will clear the subframe

if the box is close to the sub frame use a scissor jack and put it in between the back of the engine and sub frame and wind the jack up till the gearbox clears the sub frame.

Piece of piss imo.
Pull box off engine turn the box so the diff goes up and out she comes, on a ramp should take no more than 2 hours.
