Why are clutch parts so expensive on a Mondeo?
Mondeo clutches are expensive because you have to use a special jig to lift the engine out to get at the clutch, petrol or diesel. Its the labour cost and not just the cost of the clutch parts. My mate who owned a garage hated doing mondeo clutches.

Now take out the airbox so you can get to the filler plug for the transmission (its another black plug and can be undone with a Allen key). Once ready to fill it up with oil – redo the sump plug and pour in 5.5 litres of transmission oil. Start the car and run through some gears.

warranty will be what it currently is, Ford may extend it on the box alone but who knows. The main thing is to just enjoy it when you get it back. As for the Mondeo being problematic it’s not anywhere near that of the Focus. It’s the same Powershift used in the Mondeo, 6DCT450.
How do you get oil out of a Mondeo?
Drop the under car protection panel. You will need 10mm socket and remove about 10 screws. Undo the black transmission bolt (Allen Key). Oil will come out so prepare. Wait 10 mins until it stops dripping. Start car and jump through some gears (be careful and don’t run for more than 30 seconds) . I got another half litre of oil by doing this.

Engine DOES NOT need to come out,just the subframe. It’s quicker to drop the engine, rather than fannying about in the restricted space.

No, I mean take the engine and gearbox out and set them on the bench.
