Clutch pedal assembly part #

[@samtheman1652]

Just did mine today man. Thanks for the tips. I was able to do it without taking out the steer or anything on the dash. Video helped a lot

[@leotolisano6452]

Excellent video, thanks! I was able to replace the assembly on my 2013 ST without removing any parts of the dash, airbag, etc. It was a tight fit, but it eventually worked out!

[@jsw302]

Very helpful video. Be careful of the connector going into the airbag, I broke it when the airbag came out.

[@bp_wolf5293]

I’m planning on doing the job next week but I wanted to see if you knew what hose size you need for the bleeding valve

[@narutrick105]

Man, this was excellent! Great to see up in and behind stuff with your camera angles and lighting. I, too, sheared off my coolant overflow line....Those damn things are so delicate and the plastic is so brittle after 10 years of hot engine bay aging....

[@rvpsilva9213]

What a endless task!

[@coreymurrietta4964]

Where did you get the Pressurize bleeder cap for the reservoir

[@calebpaul8879]

Hypothetically if I lost that o ring or both of them what would you recommend? Sadly this happened to me :(

[@Dom2.4]

Great video, however, other than disconnecting the airbag You don't have to remove it. Mind you with a 3-in ratchet and extension, You can get the 13s off that go into the firewall to secure the clutch pedal assembly. But I think maybe the book asks to take the air bag out. So you have a clear shot at the 7:00 nut. But it's not necessary. It's actually a waste of time.

[@mcelvaneym]

Hey did this happen after you replaced brake fluid?

[@mattreeder2460]

If y'all have a 2013 Focus, there will be a very small elongated "o-ring" at the end of the steel line. You will need to pull it our of your old clutch pedal assembly. If you do not you'll end up with brake fluid in your engine bay, ask me how I know.

[@KevKev1619]

My cruise control won’t work anymore :C what did I do wrong???

[@quinten4403]

When my car ignition is off, i can shift like normal but once i start the car, i can't do that anymore. Does that mean that my clutch master cylinder is dead?

[@Telexic]

I guess the 2018 Focus ST is different. I just had to replace my clutch master and I was able to get the pedal out without removing any parts of the dash, or the steering shaft. It was not fun lol, but I was able to do it.

[@robertosequoia]

Hola tengo un st del 18 y el cloche se queda abajo que puede ser la bomba que esta en el pedal

[@CesarMartinez-vw1qd]

Its the same process but if you're willing to do acrobatics in your car you dont have to remove anything it helps if the driver seats out so you can lay in the car

[@alvi5331]

3:23, that happened to me. It was a pain to get all of the plastic pieces out after a piece broke off and got stuck in there.

[@donwhisel5128]

Is the part number for the updated one with the metal plunger a different part number than the oem one with a plastic one? I’m trying to find one for my 17 ST, but I’ve seen both variations from different sellers and they share the same part number

[@fixins9868]

The new revision will have the same part number except at the end it will increment the letter from, for example, A to B or C to E.

[@seanmccabe9766]

Why are you replacing it?

[@SlinkiestPopi]

not sure if you're still around to see this but... how did you get to the airbag bolt to the right. The left one was fairly straightforward albeit a pain in the ass, but there seems to be a piece of metal directly in the way of the blind one. Any advice?

[@fixins9868]

Remove the brake switch and push the clutch pedal in after its drained. You have to look up through a small slit and you can see the nut. I used swivel sockets and an electric ratchet. You also have to crawl into the foot well and put your head about where the clutch pedal is at. Going back in you use some paper towel to hold the but in the socket. Spin on a few threads with the extension then use the electric ratchet. I hope that helps.

[@cappuccino27]

​@@fixins9868 after I changed the Master cylinder, on my Focus, don't work the cruise control, start stop, and the indicator when to shift next gear. Do you have any idea what can caused this? What to check?

[@fixins9868]

@@cappuccino27 You need to check the clutch switches or the pressure sensor on the master. The pressure sensor didn't come out until 2016 I believe.

[@MuLTixsHo7]

My focus has a very hard pedal and it feels like the clutch comes out very slowly, could that be the cause?

[@fixins9868]

Without feeling it with my own foot it would be hard to diag. But Its unlikely the master cylinder. You probable have a collapsed/stuck clutch delay valve. The CDV lives in the clutch fluid line and its job is to slow down the engagement of the clutch pressure plate after you release the clutch. Other possibilities are the slave cylinder binding. Also, check to make sure the bleeder valve for the clutch line isn't leaking. That bleeder is plastic and sealed by o rings which can rip and they won't leak just sitting there, but they will when you press the clutch which then causes the pedal to not come all the way up. Unless you have been bleeding the clutch, start with your clutch fluid line.

[@dontdisrespect]

Sooooo great video, up until the pedal removal. Not sure how you managed it, but you CANNOT turn the master cylinder towards the brake pedal. And trying to reinstall, that switch pops off every. Single. God. Damn. Time. The entire disassembly took less time than I've spent trying to reinstall the pedal

[@stowner1653]

Do you know if the master cylinder is the same for a 2014 and a 2016?

[@fixins9868]

they are the same. ford part number DV6Z-7519-A

[@topmfg5505]

i didn’t disconnect half this shit and still was easy

[@basmdaka6954]

How long it took you to complete the job and what makes the clutch master cylinder to fail?

[@fixins9868]

About 3 hours. They fail mostly because of wear and tear, age, or abuse.

[@MrEsdabb]

Hey man, I’m actually dealing with this issue currently with my ST. I was wondering if you need the part number or name of that piece that from 8:23. I believe you said it was an o ring or cap, but I’m just trying to find out if it’s possible to get that separately.

[@fixins9868]

@@MrEsdabb I don't believe you can buy it separately. You have to get it with the hose.

[@pawlo79pl]

@@MrEsdabb If You lose it then You have to buy new pipe line it's about 50 $ so be careful.

[@chrismurphy8383]

Nice video, thanks, but I wonder if you could speak any quieter :)

[@DeeFTP]

MY CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH SENSOR CAME LOOSE AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IT GOES PLEASE HELP!!!

[@DeeFTP]

it’s literally dangling right next to my clutch pedal

[@mugmanedits6540]

What’s the part number

[@Rickyrockredcorn209]

Does the clutch use break fluid from the break fluid Reservoir

[@calebpaul8879]

Yeah it’s dot 4

[@Rickyrockredcorn209]

@@calebpaul8879 my clutch pedal was dead and I didn’t realize that they shared the same fluid my alert system kept telling me the brake fluid was low and shit I filled it up bleed it and it’s all good now

[@pawlo79pl]

@@calebpaul8879 It's exactly DOT 4 L.V. (low viscosity)

[@nolanbennett6617]

so my pedal has been sticking to the floor and then slowly releasing, air is getting in the lines it also slightly effects my brake pedal. i bled the clutch and it fixed it temporarily but I definitely have a leak. I’m assuming this is the slave cylinder but is that the proper diagnosis/assumption? also it’s a 2015 focus titanium 5 speed but similar build

[@fixins9868]

The clutch pedal should not affect your brake pedal in any way. The worst a leaking clutch would do to your brake system is warn you of low brake fluid, but that would only be a serious problem if you ignore it. If your clutch is leaking externally then there should be brake fluid somewhere, either on the floor inside your car, or coming from the bellhousing. If the master is leaking internally the only way to test that is to deadhead it and see if it hold pressure.

[@werdykztein]

Can i pay you to do this for me? Lol

[@chadbrown7073]

You Do Not need to disconnect the steering Shaft

[@frosst619]

Sure, but it does make it easier. And like he said, it is keyed so just wrap your seat belt around the steering wheel and it should keep it from spinning
