Type 9 clutch issues
So after a thousand or so trouble free(ish) zetec powered miles ive finally had enough of the crap clutch so... my zetec sierra running std type 9 has
a new clutch 2.0 mondeo with the cct303 release bearing. It slips whenever I try to do a burnout and has never felt 100% since the conversion. Is it
possible it's the clutch ratchet or is it time to pull the box off? Hoping it may be the dreaded ratchet but have a felling its not lol. Maybe
bite the bullet and get the re drilled pinto flywheel if it's the case? The clutch defiantly feels diffrent to what it felt like in the pinto,
and not in a good way. Car is very lurchey and stiff to get into gear as if the clutch is never all the way off.

Can't help with your specific issue, but a poor clutch can be a PITA to drive with.
On my Pinto / T9 Indy I fitted a new clutch during the build. One thought I always had was to have fitted a hydraulic clutch to replace the cable
operated one - I never did it though.
If you get as far as taking it apart it may be worth considering as it makes for an easier IMHO drive afterwards.

I've got a standard 1.8 CVH fly and clutch with a Capri cable in my MK Zetec and the clutch is great, but the car is way lighter than a Sierra
so can't really compare.
