I'm having mine replaced today and it's costing £165.
No! My daughter had hers go out at 37 months. I'm curious if this is a common failure.
I recently did one. The bill was about 1300 dollars. This is because you must replace the slave cylinder with the clutch. This also included fluids and resurface the flywheel.

How to replace tranmission mount
First remove front axels, then remove the transmission, undo clutch bell housing. Add on new clutch pressure plate.....new clutch bell housing......put the transmission back in and axels
I am trying to do the same thing those clips are hell to remove did you get them off?
Yes, it does have a hydraulic clutch Yes, it does have a hydraulic clutch
The brake fluid reservoir is mounted on the Master Cylinder. Drivers side near the firewall.
take the transmission out of the car and remove the old clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and throwout bearing/slave cylinder. It can be done with jackstands if they are tall enough. you will need to remove both axles too. there is a video of a 2.0L SPI engine with an mtx 75 transmission getting a new clutch on youtube, some 'carguy'. it's essentially the same procedure with some minor differences.
There may be some drag on the AC clutch when it is disengaged as the clutch 'free-wheels' during this time. When you engage the AC ,the clutch 'locks up' and the noise disappears. If the noise gets worse you may need to replace the clutch, if it stays the same and it not very loud, I would not replace it.

On a 2002 Ford Focus, the neutral safety switch is located below the brake master cylinder. It is situated right under the shift linkage,, on top of the transmission.
