The clutch will probably feel like your kicking a bucket of coal, iirc correctly it's all cable operated in any Mk 3/Mk 3.5.

You see, superior Mk 4's have the lovely addition of a hydraulic clutch mechanism, which is nice and easy

That being said, it may well just be knackered, Im sure someone with more technical knowhow will tell you.

A new bearing might lighten the load, trouble is you have to take the gearbox off to do this :lol:

I paid about ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£80 for my clutch kit. If you can't do it, it's a pricey thing to have done at a garage. It's more than likely fine, they're all heavy ish. Feels fine to me as I've never had anything that's 'light'.

Mr Clutch charge around ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£130 to supply and fit an Si clutch.

My local garage wanted ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£300 to supply and fit a genuine Ford clutch.

I was seriously considering clears but that was when i was thinking of getting white rims. However, i have just bought some really smart silver ones so i think that smoked are going to look much better.

Can't wait to pick her up, getting her Thursday now!! (Was originally told i could only get her Saturday).....Well excited.

How sad am i? I've got loads of stuff just sitting here already, waiting to be put on the car. Like welcoming presents!! :lol:
