How difficult is it to change a clutch on a 2000 Ford Escort? Engine is a 1.6 Zetec. If I decide against doing it myself, what would it typically cost at the average garage?

Cheers

If it has an hydraulic release bearing, there should be a fluid reservoir for the clutch fluid. If not, just normal release bearing.

I done a clutch on my escort, 1.8, zetec, 1997, was a nightmare.
You have hardly any room to withdraw the gearbox/bell housing out.
Remove all the engine mountings.
No clutch alignment tool will work..
I used the handle of a 3/8 drive rachet. to line the disc up.

When you do change the clutch, be like driving a new car.

cheers

goodluck
