Clutch slave cylinder with integrated clutch release bearing
The Mondeo '97 has a hydraulically actuated clutch. The brake fluid reservoir has a separate chamber and is used to supply the system with fluid.
Depressing the clutch pedal builds up pressure in the clutch master cylinder and operates the release bearing integrated in the clutch slave cylinder.
CAUTION:The clutch release bearing can only be renewed by renewing the clutch slave cylinder.
CAUTION:To reuse it, loosen the clutch slave cylinder, with its integrated clutch release bearing, from the inner side of the transmission and remove it.
The advantages of a hydraulic clutch system are:
- Automatic adjustment
- Low operating effort
- Minimal wear
