BCR01 Member 152 Member For: 14y 4m 8d Posted 11/01/13 07:23 AM Share Posted 11/01/13 07:23 AM My FG XR6T has been having clutch issues for some time. It is now slipping but ford have indicated that it is wear and tear..............I suspect that the clutch slave cylinder has been faulty, and has cuased the clutch to slip. At times the pedal has stuck down for a few seconds, resaulting in the pedal hitting me in the bottom of the foot.Any one else had issues with slow pedal relaes?

Would it help if you got the slave cylinder independently checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they are a plastic slave, which I have experianced before, and they are pron to problems. I dont know why manafacturers insisit on using plastic / phenolic parts in brake and clutch systems as they have proven to increase parts sales..........oh just realised why the do it!

Failure generally leads to fluid fouling the clutch. Which will result in slip. If no fluid loss I'd say your clutch is stuffed from poor fitment/ driving .Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
