Clutch ..time for a change ?

[brasil]

hope someone can give me an advise... sometimes when I am waiting at a red /stop light ( with gear /tranny in neutral of course ..and left foot off the clutch pedal !) Something strange happens when the light switches to green and I press the clutch...The first gear goes in but sometimes I can "feel " that -even with the clutch pedal fullly pressed - a very very slight sound coming from the rear end.

The clutch does not slip... and all gears from 1st to 5th and Reverse are going in without problems.

is the symptom I described a sign of a worn clutch and /or dying master /slave cylinder ??

What do you guys think ??

That's how my car felt when the slave started failing.

yea agree with above post,
but might as well refresh the clutch with all new bits since you gotta pull the tranny to get to the stuff anywho

Most likely the Slave Cylinder starting to bypass some pressure. Time to change the clutch and use a Ford OE Slave

… @ all. That is what I am thinking also .. time for a whole new clutch scenario .
About the master cylinder .. I have two of them - a master for a GT 500 and the „ normal one from Sachs / Valeo ..
Gt 500 is better they say - even if I cannot see a difference ( besides the part numbers )
The new clutch line I bought is a SS line with bleeder ..

Flywheel and Clutch kit are SACHS …

Hope that all the stuff I have is good for the job

Do I need new Fly Wheel Screws ? Are they TTY ??

FTE is a division of Valeo. Valeo is a large manufacturer for OE products
