sometimes i cant get a gear (FORD MONDEO 1.6 PETROL ZETEC HYDRAULIC CLUTCH (IVE HAD IT BLED) could it be the SLAVE CYLINDER or GEARBOX ( i had clutch changed 55k ago but did not change THRUST BEARING (it did not come with the clutch kit) apparently its a TWO MAN x FIVE HOUR JOB ! !

5 hours ? yeah i wish
2 days ive been on this and its a joke.
there is no room to get your hands on the box without taking the whole subframe assembly down.
this means a complete engine and gearbox out job.
nothing like doing a conventional fwd drive box.
if you cant get gears sounds like a selector problem not the clutch.
and while its all down do the front A-frame bushes coz you cant get to them when its all back together.
so far ive only got the clutch out,god only knows what its gonna be loike trying to get it all back together again..
