Ford clutch replacement: when to replace a clutch
As a general rule, a Ford clutch should be replaced every 80,000 to 150,000 kilometres. Of course, this depends on the vehicle model, the owner's driving style, and the conditions in which the vehicle is driven.
The following signs may that it is time to change the clutch:
- Difficulty shifting gears: gear shifting becomes tricky and problems occur when engaging certain gears.
- A slipping clutch: when setting off or accelerating, the engine may rev up, but the vehicle does not accelerate properly.
- A burning smell: this may be noticeable when you start driving or change gear.
- A strange noise: this can be heard when the clutch pedal is pressed.
How long does it take to change a clutch on a Ford?
Replacing the clutch on a Ford vehicle at a garage takes between 3 and 8 hours on average. In some cases, the duration of the replacement may vary:
- Less than 3 hours: for simple Ford models with a manual gearbox and if experienced workshop staff are available.
- More than 8 hours: For complex Ford models with automatic gearboxes, cases where there is rust or other complications, or when competent personnel are replacing the clutch for the first time on this model of vehicle.

Choosing the best clutch for a Ford model
Ford has installed dual-disc clutches on some of its models. These dual-disc clutches are stronger and more durable than single-disc clutches.
Some Ford models are also equipped with a dual mass flywheel. This helps to dampen engine vibrations and make driving quieter and more comfortable. If you are replacing the clutch on models fitted with a dual mass flywheel, you must ensure that the new clutch is compatible with it.
Consult the clutch catalogue for the most common Ford models:
- Ford Focus clutch kit
- Ford Fiesta clutch kit
- Ford Mondeo clutch kit
- Ford Transit clutch kit
- Ford Transit Custom clutch kit
Changing the Ford clutch: what do you need to consider?
Here are some examples of what to look out for when replacing the clutch on a Ford vehicle:
- Access to the clutch: on some Ford models, such as the Focus or Fiesta, accessing the clutch can be more difficult as some engine components and suspension parts need to be removed. On the Ford Focus, accessing the clutch often requires the removal of the air filter and intake manifold, making the process more complex.
- Special tools: on other Ford models, such as the Transit or Ranger, special tools may be required to remove and install the clutch. For example, replacing the clutch on the Ford Ranger often requires special reset tools that allow it to be removed and reinstalled correctly.
- Clutch adjustment: after installing a new clutch, it may be necessary to adjust the clutch line. For example, replacing the clutch on a Ford Fiesta often requires the clutch to be recalibrated.
