Just thought id share some info following a recent clutch change.
I only changed mine as I was replacing the RMS anyway. As the pictures below show my old clutch is in near perfect condition with little wear (it was replaced around 5 years ago). The reason for the post is the difference I have in pedal feel. My clutch actuation is now silky smooth and almost as light as our 2017 fiesta ST.
I will point out that I also updated the release arm/ pivot pin/ pressure plate and release bearing and obviously new fluid.
The point I am trying to make is that the parts I replaced were all in ok condition with only minor wear. I personally believe the improvement is mainly down to the new slave cylinder. I had not long replaced the fluid with my old components, so that cannot be the reason for the improvement.
If you have a heavy clutch pedal I would strongly recommend replacing your slave cylinder before anything else, as it is cheap, easily accessible and straight forward to change.
Happy tinkering!
