Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / July 20062003 ZTS Standard Clutch Slave Cylinder
HI all, I have a 2003 Centennial Focus Standard and just yesterday had the something in the hydraulics go south. Does ford have to R&R the trans/engine to replace the slave cylinder if it is bad?? thanks! -AF HI all, I have a 2003 Centennial Focus Standard and just yesterday had the something in the hydraulics go south.

Would you follow this up with what kind of problems you are having. I also Have a 2003 ZTS that has clutch problems and am very interested in knowing if your problem is at all similar to mine. thanks I see, figures hahahaha.... what is happening is that no matter how hard I push the pedal the flywheel wont disengage from the transaxle.. Not knowing that it was a hydraulic system, I coulndt figure out what happened, but when I got it to the ford dealers yesterday, the guy told me it was hydraulic, as soon as he told me that I knew pretty much what happened... the only things that can fail are the master cylinder, the line to the slave clyinder and the slave itself.. I will hopefully find out later today what failed and will post back with the resolution and the cost... -AF > Yes, the slave cylnder is inside the bell housing and required removal othe transaxle.

My clutch pedal just gets very stiff/heavy almost like the hydraulic fluid is semi frozen. It only does this in rather hot.muggy weather and then pretty much when it damn well pleases and is rather hard to duplicate on demand. Hence the dealer wont touch it under warranty, because they claim they can't verify it. Really pisses me off! A few days before i noticed this, my clutch failed to disenage as well (twice) withing about 60 seconds and never again sice then. I Ford will never sell me another call. I can live with knowinf that a car will have problems, but refusing to find out what is causing it is unacceptable. I see why Ford's stock price has dwendled to nothing:) good luck on your problem brian >I see, figures hahahaha.... what is happening is that no matter how >hard I push the pedal the flywheel wont disengage from the transaxle..

Here in the UK there was a problem with the mk1 focus where the pipe going into the slave would fracture and loose fluid over time.
