  1. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    This is probably a stupid question to some but it's honest, so please no clever replies :) I've got a MK2 ST Focus and I'm a little scared that I may accidentally select reverse when shifting to 5th and 6th gear, as there doesn't seem to be a lockout feature... I'm wondering if there's a risk...
  2. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hi! A month ago the car started to develop a strange noise (a dieselis clicking) and after a harder acceleration the clutch went soft. It still grabs, but it feels softer than ususal. After an hour stop, the clutch feels the same. Brake fluid was changed in July. But now the car whole car shakes...
  3. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hey! Sorry if this is already about but I can't find what I'm looking for! :facepalm: For the last year or so regardless of weather / temp changes my ST appears to hate me and will not for love nor money get into reverse. It also has issues getting into first & second occasionally so sometimes...
  4. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Wander if anyone could help, I had an rs clutch kit and flywheel fitted last summer probably done around 7000 miles since, the car has now developed a sort of rod knock noise when in neutral at stand still, it only seems to do it when the gearbox is warm after a run and you gently rev the...
  5. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hi, I had an issue with my focus the other night, something appears to have broken within the gear selector. I can now go from drive gears straight into reverse with nothing stopping me. I have to be careful on the sideways movement to line it up with 5th or 6th as it is possible to go too...
  6. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    As some of you probably know I've recently bought a second hand gearbox, had it refurbished and fitted it to my car. I now find myself with a spare gearbox that I could put on eBay and try to sell or a few other options I'm thinking about, but before I follow up any of those routes, does anyone...
  7. Mk3 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hi Having problems with 2nd Gear grinding when changing down from 1st. I had the car in for a new Flywheel, Clutch and Slave Cylinder back in February (I was charged due to apparent driver misuse? I am still not happy about this) So now as the weather warms up I start to get sticking/slipping...

  9. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hi guys, after some advice on a clutch issue before I empty my pockets. The issue started when I noticed the clutch pedal dropped around an inch below where it should sit after the car had been parked up for a few hours, which would move the biting point to the floor making it hard to select...

  14. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hi all, From reading a few topics on here, I think a noise I've been experiencing on my ST225 may be due to a duff torque mount. Does anybody have any recommendations for a replacement? I'm not particularly technical, but it sounds like some aftermarket ones will increase vibration/cabin...
  15. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Aye reet.;) Just a heads up for anyone getting a diff fitted to their car. I've been having trouble for the last few weeks/months with selecting reverse(can't select it without going to first before hand. And when changing to 2nd(crunches) this is still a problem when the engine is off (so...

  18. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Hi people. Just been talking with a forum mate here in Spain about the ST mk2 gearbox and the Quaife. He is a Ford mechanic. I thought that the thing was as simple as "standard diff out, Quaife diff in" (I almost know nothing about mechanics ). He told me about some things that are supposed...
