2007 V6 Clutch Replacement
#3
IMO, I wouldn't waste my $$$ on installing another stock clutch. Why put in another unit that gave out the first time? It's an opportunity to upgrade to a better aftermarket part (I had a SPEC2 installed in my old PP coupe)

Also, skip the dealer and shop around for a quality local independent shop (if you can't tackle the job yourself). You'll save on the labor, and most likely get better service.

I just had mine replaced under warranty. Have you looked into that ? My trans seemed extremely noisy when I took it in right before the warranty expired. The Ford garage said it wasn't the trans but the pressure plate, flywheel and clutch. Ford replaced the whole thing for nothing. Worth at least asking about. Barring that I would certainly never pay for a stock clutch. After market will provide much more grip and last longer for about the same $$$. Seems like $600 was what I heard from an idependent guy.

I talked to my dealer, they told me my clutch was not covered under warranty, as it is "wear and tear" part. How did you get your dealer to cover it?? How many miles do you have on your car? I am at 55k.
I ordered a new valeo clutch online for $400, am having it installed for 300 with machining my flywheel.
