I just had the water pump r&r today and it also required removing an engine mount and lifting the belt side of the engine!
small car and no room to work on anything!
You shouldn't have to pull engine out at all I did my own water plump (it failed resulting in a warped head) and while it was tight it was not that bad. I had to slightly shift the engine to tighten the rear cam with my torque wrench but I used a little careful force to do that!.
With the clutch you will need to drop the gearbox I have been told it is quite an easy job requiring axal stands and two trolley jacks plus tools.
I am hopefully starting the job tomorrow!
The tranny has to come out. Expect to pay $500 labor plus $165 for the clutch. Don't attempt this repair unless you are an experienced mechanic.
If it is like the ( 1996 ) Ford Escort : The BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR is also the CLUTCH FLUID RESERVOIR
On a ( 1996 ) Ford Escort the brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
Remove the transmission.
If the belt's good, check the compressor clutch.
The labor to replace a clutch on a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire can range from $670 to $850, depending on where you go. This does not include the cost of the clutch itself, which is roughly $800.
how difficult is it to replace the MS on a 1996 Honda accord
Clutch master cylinder, usually located near the brake master cylinder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I chose the ( 1996 and 2003 ) Ford Escort owners manuals to look at and they show that the brake master cylinder is also used for the hydraulic clutch
The 1996 Ford Escort had a self-adjusting system. If pushing on the pedal will not solve the problem, you are most likely going to need to change the ratchet system in the pedal.
Make sure you disconnect the slave cylinder and take out of the transmission before you remove the transmission. Remove transmission, remove pressure plate & throw out bearing, and your clutch will fall off. Then just do in reverse - make sure you line the splines on the clutch. You can get an alignment tool from the parts house to make the transmission go in easier.
