Thanks for this superb video, gave me the confidence that the job wasn't too big for me with the tools I have and on a driveway. I successfully replaced the clutch in my 2006 focus. You must be as strong as hell to get the box back up and on. I used blocks of wood and a trolley jack to lift it and it was still a bit of a faff. I didn't need a clutch aligning tool in the end (no point me buying one as I reckon this will be the last clutch I ever change), instead just loosely bolted to the flywheel then rotated and checked that the edge of the plate that's just visible was even. Thanks again

@WMCS

4 жыл бұрын

offbeatwarble the rear main seal was ok. It was the CSC that failed causing all the mess in the gearbox... Rubber grease is far superior in my opinion especially on the spline because it doesn’t break down with moisture it doesn’t get affected by the dry rust build up from the spline to the clutch plate due to it’s anti oxidising properties. And most importantly it doesn’t stick so it’ll always release the clutch and prevent binding which can cause the clutch friction plate to wear prematurely . Are you a mechanic yourself ..
