I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I need a new clutch, and the local Ford garages are telling me that they have to jig the engine from the engine bay to access the clutch, I read in my good old Haynes manual that the clutch can be accessed from the engine bay by moving the transaxle (chapter 8). Ford swears blind that this is not so.
I am personally going with experience, which says never to trust a Ford garage mechanic, but thought I'd check here to.

2.5L '98 Manual Mystique 120,000 km (~75,000 miles)

Here's a section of my e-mail with them ....

"clutch disc plate and release bearing, including resurfacing your flywheel breaks down to $662.85 in parts, plus $774.30 in labour"

Labour is approx. $55.00/hour and all prices are in Canadian Funds.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rabbit.
