James Mounsey Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi, I'm looking to basically update a old Ford fiesta i purchased back in August. The clutch is really the main problem . Now it has done 69,000 miles and has been well looked after and obviously the clutch has been extremely worn over the years. The biting point is quite high but not to extreme, and I've never really dealt with the old Mk6 clutch before. All I want is to try and troubleshoot the problem here with you guys, this is an amazing website and i'll be really appreciative of some help.

jeebowhite Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 the clutch bite on Fords is more often than not high, on average 60-75% of travel up the bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If you can accelerate up a fairly steep hill in 3rd gear (at under 30MPH) with full throttle and no slippage, then the clutch is fine for a while yet. That's the test I always use on a manual transmission vehicle. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
