Gussa Donating Members 220 Member For: 14y 7d Gender: Male Location: Gippsland Posted 28/02/15 02:56 PM Share Posted 28/02/15 02:56 PM Hi All,Last weekend I had difficulties with my clutch returning after being depressed - Felt very spongy making it difficult to reverse.Did some research which lead me to checking the clutch fluid and lubing the pedal assembly.Assembly was spot on, clutch fluid resembled something more like melted chocolate.Having bought the car brand new and adhering to all recommended service intervals with Ford I am a little disappointed! (Why am I not surprised)But moving on...Today I decided to change the fluid. (NULON Super DOT4). Also picked myself up a bleed kit consisting of tube and a 1 way valve (I intend to do brakes in the future).Using jacks and stands, finally found the bleed nipple (What a stupid position). Immediately noticed that the nipple and its shaft were slightly loose. As I have not done this before, figured it was normal. Connected hose, bleed nipple was tight but came undone half a turn. Ran through some new fluid.I then do up the bleed screw and my problems start. The hex assembly feels a lot looser and there is a large amount of fluid leaking out of the bottom of the bell housing. I'm still not sure if this is a leak from deeper in the assembly or just spillage from my clumsiness in removing the hose from the nipple. I left a rag on under the housing for a while and refilled the reservoir. Leak has very slowly stopped (last time I saw it) but the hex assembly is very loose. In my haste I also managed to overfill the reservoir and spill brake fluid into the engine bay...My questions;- Is there meant to be play in this hex assembly? - If not, can it be tightened without removing the gear box? - If so, will this cause a leak/problem?- At what service intervals is Ford supposed to change clutch fluid? The brake fluid looks brand new.Below is a photo from the net I butchered to help explain what I call the hex assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shite design. First chance you get put a billet csc and remote bleed line in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they use the same stuff?How often does the clutch fluid need to be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
