Mental_Atom Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 As you all know, I recieved delivery of my new ZS 2 weeks ago (on the 27th). As I've been driving it today I noticed I'm feeling quite a bit of vibration/stickiness (its a hard one to describe) in the clutch as I depress/release it... kinda like it has steps I guess... As the car is so new (not even hit 1k miles yet) what could the problem be? Or is it normal and just me being paranoid as the clutch wears in :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just getting wore in buddy and being a 3cylinder always gonna be a vibrating a bit (not much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfin25 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I noticed this on mine too. I'm 1500 odd miles in now and it seems to have subsided. I also noticed the steering knocking and it feeling a bit notchy at full lock but again, this went after a few hundred miles. First world problems eh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJakeT Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The Revers quirk is easily avoidable, I just lift the clutch slowly, and if it hasn't Gone in right then I push it and it pops in. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Reverse on ST is perfect, has lift up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeZS19 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lol, I've only had it once so far in the new one, but every Ford new or old does it! My old fiesta was a nightmare, took about 5 attempts every time :P My 7.5 zetec is a lot, and I mean a lot easier to get into revere than my mk7 one. My old one used to be a right pain in the !Removed!, and was always worse when someone was around to hear the crunch haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
