If scratching or rattling noises are heard when shifting from lower to higher gears, then the clutch is most often not disengaged correctly. Carry out a test by switching to reverse! However, with the help of such a check, possible defects in the gearbox are also excluded.

PROCEDURE |
- Start the engine at idle.
- Fully engage the clutch and wait approximately three seconds before shifting into reverse. If you hear the same screeching noises, the clutch disengages casually.
- In any case, the automatic clutch pedal free play control system must be checked by a specialist workshop before any repairs are carried out.

PRACTICAL ADVICE |
Driving with a Leaky Hydraulic Clutch System
When your Mondeo's hydraulic clutch system is on the road «flowed» (leaky lead (clutch control cylinders, hose burst, air in the hydraulic system), remember our three tips.
You are expected to show some patience and gentle handling of the gas pedal as well as the shift lever, «outwit» The gearbox of your Mondeo can, of course, be used without engaging the clutch. Starting off without engaging the clutch
Turn off the engine. Set to 1st gear, then turn on the starter. Your Mondeo jerks, once the engine starts, give it a little gas. If while driving there is no desire to change gears, immediately after starting off, set the 2nd gear. Shifting to a higher gear without engaging the clutch
Set strictly 1st gear after shifting to above idle speed (about 1000 rpm). Get off some gas. Set the shift lever lightly «before» 2nd gear. If the gear is stuck, give it a little gas, release the gas pedal and carefully select 2nd gear with the lever. At synchronous engine and gearbox speeds, the gear slips by itself. If you still want to wait a little longer, then give a little gas, thereby changing the gear ratio without grinding the gears «will get hooked». If unsuccessful, delay again and try your «happiness».
Engage all other gears in the same way. This works best at low speeds: 3rd gear at 30 km/h, 4th gear at 40 km/h and 5th gear at 50 km/h. Shifting to a low gear without engaging the clutch
This process works best at low engine speeds and speeds.
First take your foot off the gas pedal. Accelerate carefully to slightly increase the engine speed. Install the shift lever at the same time «before» less transmission. Select this gear at the desired engine speed.
Do the same for the rest of the gears. |
