Clutch slave cylinder

[Nonka]

Hi my transit 280, 2001, 2ltr has brake clutch fluid pumping out from clutch slave cylinder and lost my clutch .
Is this a big job to fix and what price would the parts cost I think the gear box will need to be removed help for the new boy please. Thanks Lee.

yes the gearbox needs to come out and shop around for a clutch kit and bearing, once the mounts have been unbolted you will have to jack the engine forward a little otherwise the box hits the subframe

no get a scissor jack between the back of the engine and subframe and jack the engine forward, then you will find the diff misses the subframe
