Er, Ford Mondeo question...anyone ever changed a clutch on one of these WITHOUT taking the engine out???

Seems like ford have made it a ridiculously tricky and time consuming job to drop the clutch and put a new in, anyone have any experience of this? Costs? Toptips? Cheers in advance!

was to big a job for me I had to get mine done in a garage, it cost just over 拢600.



the car was only worth 拢800 but unfortunatly I had it on HP so had no choice.

You must drop the complete subframe before the gearbox comes out. It's pretty straight forward once you get your head round it.

Get your ex to do it he must owe you one.
This apparently was one of the few draw backs on the Mondeo that you did have to drop the engine to do the clutch - ot at least so I was always led to believe.
No just drop the drive shaft and it will ease out and fix replacement in
your right it is tricky but alas engine and sub frame has to be (not completely) removed but lowered enough to separate g/box .... fords Hmm

Mr clutch does a good cheapish job

PS don't forget locating pins for sub frame
Any other way is extreemly arkward , dont try it unless you have access to lifting gear and a hoist you can drop one side and lift box out ,But it does put a strain on the exuast and other fixtures . (not recomended.) but that is as bad as dropping the whole sub frame
Going by experience of some mondeos I helped with the clutch whilst I was on work placement whilst at college studying motor vehicle engineering the quickest way t do a mondeo clutch is to take the exhaust off so it clears the sub frame, remove the lower suspension ball joints from the front hubs, remove the drive shafts support the engine from above remove the starter motor spedo cable clutch cable the upper bell housing bolts then under neath remove some engine/gearbox support brackets and remove the sub frame support the gearbox from underneath with a transmission jack remove the lower bell housing bolts and extract the gearbox and you can then remove the clutch refitting is reverse of removal
