Pre 1997/9 models of Ford Vehicles were self-adjusting via the clutch-foot-pedal. The pedal engages a ratchet system called the QUADRANT & PAWL and is part of the pedal. The mechanism is very similar on older Ford models of: Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Granada, Transit & others. Newer vehicles may have a Hydraulic Clutch from 1997/9 onwards, and these work differently from the cable & pully mechanism. Clutch-fluid can be bled to improve the ability to operate the clutch, however this is not necessarily a method of adjusting the clutch.
If your reading this article because you have a broken clutch-pedal then please read on.
If when pressing the foot-pedal it feels like cable is broken, or pedal is loose, ...This is symptomatic of failure of the QUADRANT & PAWL 'ratchet' mechanism due to wear of teeth on the ratchet.
In some cases the pedal fails to pull the clutch out far enough to change gear, and may make a 'springing noise'. This is due to slippage on some worn ratchet-teeth, but the mechanism has not reached full failure. There are 2 ways to remedy the fault.
1. Change the Quadrant & Pawl, using only genuine Ford parts. #Beware of inferior mouldings that are not up to standard e.g. too soft, and do not trust 'pattern-parts' on eBay etc.
2. SHORTEN THE CABLE.
- Disconnect SPRING ON THE FOOT-PEDAL to release ratchet mechanism.
- Clamp cable slack (engine end).

What puts keeps the pressure on the clutch?
The pressure on the clutch is maintained by the clutch diaphragm spring or coil spring, which compresses when the clutch pedal is released. This spring mechanism ensures that the friction plates are pressed together, allowing the engine's power to transfer to the transmission. When the clutch pedal is pressed, it disengages this pressure, allowing for gear changes. Proper adjustment and maintenance of the clutch system are essential to ensure optimal performance and prevent slippage.
What happens inside a clutch when you push the clutch pedal?
The pressure plate which forces the friction disc against the flywheel by means of spring plates. Pressing the clutch pedal down forces the pressure plate away from the friction disc and power transfer from engine to transmission is broken.
What does the surface of the pressure plate contact?
The surface of the pressure plate typically contacts the clutch disc in a vehicle's clutch assembly. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the pressure plate disengages from the disc, allowing for smooth gear shifts. Upon release of the pedal, the pressure plate re-engages with the clutch disc, transferring engine power to the transmission. This interaction is crucial for the proper functioning of a manual transmission system.
