Clutch adjustment and maintenance (Escort 3)

The clutch is single-disk, dry, with a central pressure spring. The clutch release drive is cable-operated, gap-free.

Adjusting the pedal free travel

The clutch release pedal free travel is adjusted automatically by means of a ratchet mechanism.

Maintenance of the clutch consists of checking its functionality after the first 2,500 km of mileage, and then every 10,000 km of mileage. At the same time, the ratchet mechanism and the clutch release cable should be lubricated.
