i wouldn't think it'd be any noisier.
i just changed a dual mass flywheel to a solid one on a alfa gtv 3.0 v6 and that's no noisier, no clicking or owt.
no idea how you solve this problem, may be a gearbox on way out, so plausible.

Sounds like you better get over to www.fordmondeo.org and get surfing through the forums there , loads of info on the mondeo , mostly bad tho lol
Should of stock to the dual mass i think .

hi all

well i have rang them back today told them i have been to two different garages and said that there should be no noise in the box he said bring it back on monday and they will have a look at it. great stuff i thought they rang me back about 45 min later and said if i take my car to a different garage and get them to fit a clutch and take the one they take out back and they will give me a full refund.so going to one in preston on friday and letting him have a listen to see what it is. cos it was not there till i had clutch done. how can you tell if gear box has oil in it??

did they change the slave cylinder as well? there is a faulty batch of these kicking about at the mo changed 2 recently well 4 actually because they both only lasted a few days they start clicking then burst and piss all the clutch fluid out replaced them both with valeo ones and so far no problems touchwood!
