Default mondeo 2.2 dti dmf and clutch change

our mondeo is getting a little rattly now on the dmf, so im gonna fit a full kit asap.




whats the easiest way to do it ?
can I get the box off with the engine in situ ?


or engine and box gotta be pulled out first ?
and if so engine and box out the top or drop whole subframe out the bottom ?


time is scarce atm so I just need the quickest route for an in out job




I have a 4 poster ramp on site aswell.

undo rack from subframe and support it with cable ties, drop subframe and bottom arms together then box out change clutch, refitting is opposite of removal lol 3-4 hour job that looks worse than it is

how far does the subframe have to come down to allow enough room to do the job ?

Don't forget to support the radiator when you drop the subframe.

Ive done a clutch on a mk3 before. I just dropped the ns of the sub frame and slid the box in between the sub frame and the inner wing.

hadmates that used to do that until i convinced them to drop the subframe the extra 5-10 minutes spent dropping it saves a lot of struggle getting to the bell housing bolts and everything else with the subframe in the way
