Help with a Mondeo Clutch!!

it does sound like clutch slip(under load)but carnt be sure without roadtesting if this is the original clutch then at 96k i carnt see it lasting much longer the book time is 4.5hrs to do...

Thanks for your help ford_technical_, you've confirmed what i was thinking. The bit i didn't get is it being ok from a standing start, but rubbish between 3-4k rpm.

Do you know why that might be?

Also-do any of you folks know a good garage/mechanic in the Nottingham area (uk)?

Gear ratios and engine torque. Think about it.

dunno, does sound strange... maybe something to do with the load on the engine?

i dont know that area ,somebody else will tho

I just kinda thought that it might be under the most load when pulling off, must be wrong.

So you folks recon my clutch can be declard dead?

From your description you need a new clutch fitted.

Clutch is definately beginning to slip when its under the highest load- peak torque on the Zetec E is 3800-4200rpm (1.8 did you say?)

Tim..

Thanks very much folks - It's booked in for a new clutch on Thursday.

Out of interest, how much?

The clutch is a car killer on older Mondeos just because it takes so long to do and you need to realign the front subframe afterwards...

I have a vested interest - an old Mondeo with 60K on the clutch and doing a reasonable mileage now...

The best Quote I could find in my area (Nottingham) was =A3170 mate. I've had it done and the cars now spot on.

Ta. That's a lot less than I'd heard...
