Changing the Clutch on a Mk.3 Mondeo (WORK IN PROGRESS)
After attempting this job myself, on a drive way with minimal tools, I thought it would be helpful to post up the steps involved.
Please bear in mind that my approach may not necessarily be the best way of doing it, but it worked for me! Also bear in mind that these steps were carried out on a 54 plate 6 speeed TDCi model - although most 4 cylinder petrol cars will be similar, the intermediate steps will differ (no turbo pipes, different EGR pipes, gearchange cables and selector positions etc etc)
Tools Needed

- At least one quality trolley jack (I used two for the job, it made it a lot easier to raise and lower the engine to disengage and re-engage the gearbox

- Plenty of clutch/brake cleaner and rags to keep things from leaking and for keeping things clean!
Parts Needed
