Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 18/03/05 03:16 AM Posted 18/03/05 03:16 AM Just thought you'd all want to know that there is an article saying that the clutch issue has been sorted and it's all systems go on the "phoon". Sorry but I cannot sacn and post the article, so if someone could scan it to help out that would be good for all.

Just give a F6 with "fixed" clutch to Motor for a couple of days, if they don't break it then the "fix" is a success. Obviously Ford/FPV's testing process is flawed going by the number of defects such as shuddering brakes and noisey diffs that make it through to the production cars.
