JONATHAN_11_80 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi, Been quoted £515 for a clutch on my focus is this a fair price. Also does the 1.8 petrol have a dual mass flywheel. Some people say yes and other say it hasnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had clutch & slave cylinder done last year for £480 inc VAT on my 1.6 diesel at an independent garage so i guess that doesn't sound too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JONATHAN_11_80 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Did you do the clutch yourself and how difficult was it to do on the driveway. Have done a clutch on vauxhall corsa years ago but the box didnt need to come up it dropped out from underneath once the input shaft was slid back.

JONATHAN_11_80 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Did you remove the box or move it out of the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get out eventually, that was the first and last time I removed a gearbox. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble was the rear diff ratio was then wrong 0 to 60 like a train anything else well that was it lol. So I when and swapped it for a 2.8 I much better still when round corners sideways (axel ***** ) in the wet because of the cart springs suspension lol.

stef123 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 the worst gearbox I've ever done on the drive was just last year, BMW 530D. the box was a bit of a monster to say the least. Front wheel drive boxes where you don't need to drop the subframe are easily do able on the drive. An IB5 box from a fiesta or focus i will lift in and out without any jacks.

Dave1981 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Are you sure the petrol isnt a dmf? Ive bene told my 2010 2.0 petrol has a dmf so when i get my clutch changed they gonna check it as if it needs changing i need to factor the additional cost in.

JONATHAN_11_80 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Why put a dmf on a 2.0 and not the 1.8 they are the same engine after all. Maybe the mtx box ia weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I know we talkin the 1.8 but as has been said the 1.8 n 2.0 r the same engine excpet for displacment. So because i was told my 2.0 has a dmf i assumed the 1.8 would as well. But as you say maybe the gearbox is the reason as i have the mtx75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
