- This is the complete guide to how i removed the gearbox and changed the clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder i my mk3 Ford focus.
Ive done everything else to try to solve my sticking clutch pedal but now the only thing left to do is to change the slave cylinder. While i have the gearbox out i have also changed the clutch and flywheel.

Pro tip, you can upgrade the lower engine rubber mount for the more sturdy version from ford focus electric. The acceleration feels much better. I did this on my 1.5tdci 4 years ago and it feels like a much better car.
Good tip!
If I was keeping it and in a position to afford the parts,then I would change it. Keep em coming Mike.👍
Will do don't worry 😊
In the old days I would of only changed the slave cylinder unless the clutch looked to be on its way.
Now I'm 64 i just changed the whole clutch assembly swapped dual mass flywheel for solid mass flywheel as its getting harder on the body lol. But just had to drop the box again the new slave cylinder failed a week off 3months, but I'm still glad I replaced the whole clutch assembly.2010 1.6tdci focus.
And you must fit new bolts as they are stretch bolts.
Jepp new bolts fitted. 👍
I really struggled with weather to change everything or not. I'm not tight fisted or anything but it's a lot of money to spend on something I was pretty sure didn't need changing
Mine has done 310 000km original clutch with no problem. Now I have a noise in the gearbox. Ive set it down to eighter A: outgoing bearing on gearbox or B: flywheel. Im taking it out soon. Thx for the video!
Good luck with it. Hopefully it's nothing to serious
Where did you get the torque settings from?
I've been told it's 20nm for clutch!
We use a program at the workshop that has all the torque settings
Since you are a mechanic I think it makes sense for you to change all of it as the impact on the value of the car should be positive. If I as enthusiast were to do it, there would be no real credibility of it being replaced anyway so then it would be a question of how long I am gonna keep the car and how much money I am willing to spend. But my gut tells me that I would do it still.
I agree with you. After looking at the flywheel and clutch it feels a bit wrong to fit new parts knowing the old parts were perfectly fine. If it were for a customer I would have advised them of the situation and let them choose if I fit it or not, but as it's for me I fitted everything and just bit the bullet even though it hurt my wallet 😂
I’d defo just do slave cylinder, as it’s free labour
Ford is best car in world, missing their best sedans 😊
Agree with you there 😊😊
I think at that mileage I would definitely change it if I was intending to keep the car for a few years .
I wouldn’t have the ability to do a job like this if I’m honest. I was actually thinking of having a new clutch put in the streetka when I bought it , it’s only done 63k but was gonna have a lot of stick from my learner driver daughter who will use it sometimes but reading the stuff that came with it it had a new one in 2019 at 60k so that was tough 👍
It's not a massive job really and on these cars like the ka and the focus.
Another detail not in the video is the correct amount of new gearbox oil. Its really weird on the manual 6 gear since you have to fill it up until it leaks out and then suck out like 100ml which is effectively wasting good new oil.
Hello! Why you put Luk flywheel and not Sachs? I saw someone else to do same thing and the slave cylinder it use was FTE.
Great job 👏
The day before I ordered all the parts they had a Sachs clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder as a kit to buy. When I went to order it the next day the sachs clutch was out of stock unfortunately.
not with that many miles on it. gear box off is biggest part, and if you are keeping it, id do it all. i have to take mine off shorlty to send box off to be rebuilt. ive got the same dilema
Well that depends on how strapped you are for cash me personally I would just change it all out now and won’t have to worry about it later
Totally agree. I just don't like fitting stuff for the sake of fitting stuff but it's done now.
What lube did you use for the spline?
Was any sealant or an o-ring used for the slave cylinder?
Ordinary geese for the splines it dosent need to be alot. No o ring that I remember
Hi, i did my clutch replace just like you for my mazda 3 1.6 hdi 2009, but my clutch pedal got just a tiny litle bit harder to press in, is it a problem or its normal? Will it get better in time? I did bleed my clutch and changing gears makes no noises. If you still have air in the system it should be easier or harder to press clutch in?
@@csabafodor1862 air in the system will make the clutch feel soft and spongey /bouncy
@@mike_themechanicso mine is harder bcs its new?
@@csabafodor1862 I would guess so
Tell us about the light bar behind the grill. Does it function good being hidden behind the slats? Did you install it? How is it wired?
Yes it works great, plenty of light getting out even if its behind the slats. Yes I fitted it. Have a look at the video with the kia as u fitted one there as well and I show how it's wired in
Hi I’ve just started with the same problem on 2017 titanium diesel 16 . The garage thought it was bit you have replaced in the video and has replaced them and it’s still slipping. , so they said it might be the pipe or the master cylinder once’s these part have been replaced should the issue be solved , basically you’ve done the lot im going to by the looks of did it solve the problem for you ???? Thanks in advance
I've also replaced the pipe and the master cylinder, for me it's OK when it's warm outside. In winter it was still a problem now it's fine 🤔🤔
How you do clutch bleeding when you change new one
I think I covered it in the film
Buonasera ho bisogno di un piccolo aiuto sto montando volano kit completo ftizione ho notato che nel volano bimassa ce una tacca scavata a mezza luna per caso bisogna metterlo in fase anche il volano con il resto del motore grazie a chi da risposta
It's probably there for balancing the flywheel. It's done at the factory
Hi mike, is it a relief to have the clutch pedal softer?
The pedal was never hard it just lost all pressure
hi, probably a silly question to you as you have the big brain when it comes to cars, my 2010 focus titanium just went off the road as my clutch pedal went slack now now cant get it in gear while the engine is running. recovery mechanic says he'd put money on it being the slave cylinder as its just now started leaking out the clutch fluid. is this likely to be just a slave cylinder replacement or am i looking at a whole clutch/master cylinder/slave cylinder replacement? thanks in advance
If it leaking then you should be able to see where it's leaking. If it went suddenly then i would guess that it's likely the slave cylinder as the master cylinder usually gets gradually worse and then stops working at all. You won't be able to get any gears if the clutch dosent engage.
@@mike_themechanic so i'm likely only looking at replacing the slave cylinder then? cool, cheers for the advice man, you're a legend
@@DaddyDunva it still means gearbox out and depending how old the car is it might be worth a new clutch and flywheel
@@mike_themechanic its a 2010 with about 135k on the clock
@DaddyDunva done about the same as mine but slightly older. I'd have the flywheel and clutch ready if needed when you have the gearbox out. If it's not needed then you don't need to change it
Do u need to clamp a hose from the master cylinder?
Yes or it will drain the system
Can u tell or show me where exactly, i have a similar car, mazda 3 bk 1.6 diesel, another question is that if i disconnect the pipe from slave cylinder and lift the pipe upward will be enough or i must usr a clamp somewhere

If you have as far taking the box out replace all as it is preventative maintance or a a whilst you are in there job
I suppose it's more the knowing I'm changing something that isn't in need of changing
@@mike_themechanic Yes there is that too.
Interestingly, my 2016 berlingo 1,6hdi has an external slave cylinder on top of the bellhousing.
Is it a 5 speed box?
@@mike_themechanic Yes!
@@davidnorton5887 mines a 6 speed so probably that's why
@@mike_themechanic Ah there you go then. You had the better fuel economy and refinement of a 6 speed box, but now you're having to pay for it. Lol.
Isn’t this mk3.5??
Yes it is. Engine and gearbox are the same and the process is the same
@@mike_themechanic 1 part on mines totally different to all the vids I keep seeing, if I send a vid would you be able to give me advice on how to remove it please??
@@didsnttz I can try
Did this fix the issue?
Well not really and I'm not sure it was ever the problem to be honest. I've already changed the master cylinder twice so it seamed to be the only thing left to do
@@mike_themechanic never mind I had to change my master cylinder a few months back and I keep losing a bit of brake fluid and the clutch sticks every now and then but as I've just fucked my flywheel and need it all off and saw this video I was maybe thinking I'll kill 2 birds 😅
Sounds like thats what your going to have to do. I had changed my master cylinder and pipe between the master and the slave and it was still doing the same thing so I thought there is nothing else left to do but change the slave and while the gearbox was out may as well change the flywheel and clutch
@@mike_themechanic I know I have to do the flywheel anyway but as for the clutch pedal I've been thinking it's a problem with the rubber seal on the high pressure pipe but that's a job just finding a new rubber seal
@@stefanbrogan8552 yeah I think mine might be the same thing. My pedal gets worse when it gets cold so it's probably going to be fine now for a few months 😂😂😂
