Ford Focus Clutches and Parts

Ford first introduced their Focus model in 1998. Each of the specific generations has produced cars with manual transmissions. Routine maintenance on your Ford Focus requires attention to the clutch system and its parts to keep it in top working order.

The Ford Focus manual transmission operates as a hydraulic clutch system. There are a few telltale signs that indicate your car needs repair parts.

• The Ford Focuss master cylinder supplies the fluid allowing the slave cylinder to operate. The master cylinders seals can deteriorate. Low fluid levels or leaking indicate seal repair or replacement on your Ford is needed.
• Trouble shifting is another symptom of a needed repair on your Ford. You might hear grinding gears, or notice the transmission shift out of gear.
• If your Fords clutch pedal starts to feel soft like a sponge when you depress it, that implies repair parts are needed. The clutch pedal on your Ford could go all the way to the floor without engaging the gears.

The full clutch component on the Ford Focus consists of a number of parts that are integral to the smooth operation of your cars manual transmission. The clutch is a type of friction material, like a brake pad, that offers a power shift from the engine to the transmission. It creates wheel movement on your Ford Focus.

Moving from the Focuss interior outward, the system and its parts function as follows:

• The Fords clutch pedal starts the operation on your car. It is connected to the hydraulic master cylinder.
• In the Fords engine compartment, the clutchs bell housing is bolted to the engine block.
• The Fords flywheel is located in the bell housing of the transmission. It is connected through the crankshaft to the Fords motor, and it moves in conjunction with the engine.
• A clutch disk mounts up to the flywheel. The disk has a splined center to go onto the input shaft of the cars transmission. It spins freely.
• From there, the pressure plate is bolted on to hold the disk in place, and the throw-out bearing provides the pressure required for it all to move. When you use the Ford Focus clutch pedal, the throw-out bearing forces the pressure plate to move back and forth to engage the disk to the flywheel and motor.

The Focuss clutch master cylinder houses its own supply of brake fluid. Hoses connect it to the slave cylinder. When your Fords clutch pedal is depressed, brake fluid is sent from the master to the slave cylinder. This creates the required pressure to engage the Ford Focus clutch. It offers the cars wheel movement.

The Focus model clutch disk is comprised of two plates sandwiched together. When the pressure plate applies force to the disk at the back of the engine, the plates move independently of each other. The cars springs ease the effect that sudden movement creates on the Fords motor and transmission.
