i currently own a '53 plate fusion. over the last week the clutch master cylinder actuating rod has been slipping off the small rod that is attached to the clutch pedal.

is there something that keeps this rod on ie a top hat or plate
does the pedal spring need replacing
is the clutch on the way out

and ideas or solutions would be much appreciated

im sure there is a mod for this , will look into it and be in touch

there is a modified clip .50p plus 50p postage

How happy am I to find this thread...just called the AA out as the gf is stranded at work with a broken 53 plate Fusion, symptoms were as she was leaving work, she pushed the clutch down to stop at a barrier, there was some initial resistance in the clutch then suddenly it went straight to the floor, so she stopped on the brakes and stalled it. Clutch returns fine but no resistance either way. I texted her about the clutch rod, she presumably showed the AA man and that's it, so he's doing a temporary fix now. He says there is a small leak at the master cylinder and suggested it could be slightly overfilled causing it to pop off? Anyways, for a few minutes I had visions of trying to replace the master cylinder in the street, in the rain, and out of pocket. Just a 50p clip, how lucky am I?! Can I get it free under warranty/recall Actually, a little more seriously, will they fit it for free?!
