I’ve just remembered my pedal pivot bushings have worn out and gone oval,
creating more play in the pedal.
Could this also be a cause of your problem?

These are the details for manual clutch adjust modification but it's for a Mk3
Fiesta.
I have done it on my 2+2 but i had to modify the pedal to get it to match the
other pedals.
Somewhere i have details on the Escort Quadrent mods.

Hi Chris,
The complete clutch kit I used was part FINIS #5024280
It is possible to use a manual adjust clutch off an Escort part #1029012

I’m pretty sure the recommended quadrant colour was white.

Thanks Jim
Just had a look and there was a flattened vertical lin in the carpet behind
the pedal, I removed the carpet and sound deadening behind it. I managed to
lift the pedal and pull the cable out fully, but cannot get the pawl to engage
with the quadrant.
Looks like I need to take the pedal box out to investigate further.
Wasn’t there a recommendation to replace the Fiesta quadrant with a
different one, perhaps Escort. I think there was a specific coloured Ford item,
but I can’t remember the details.

Did you reset the ratchet on the quadrant after you fitted the new clutch ?
Lift the pedal up against it's stop with a bit of wood or a second person
(this releases the ratchet) and then pull the clutch cable inner out as far as
it will go in the engine bay.
Release the pedal and then press it a few times, you should hear the
ratchet reset.
You can't mix low lift and normal lift clutch parts but since you replaced
as a set it should be ok.
I remember an issue with clutch ratchet not working correctly if you had
too much carpet behind the pedal which meant it couldn't be pressed down far
enough for the ratchet to be triggered.

I thought I had an issue with my 2+2 clutch as the bite point was rather
high and it would start to slip as soon as I started to press the clutch pedal.
I bit the bullet and took the engine out only to fine the clutch plate wasn’t
very worn, but it looks like someone has been riding the clutch as the splines
are badly scored by the thrust bearing and some blueing. Not sure it is
relevant, but the old clutch was a Motorcraft unit with the friction plate
marked ‘Low Lift’ and a white quadrant adjuster fitted.
I fitted brand new 3 part Valeo clutch kit hoping this would solve my
issues. Wrong!
Now the clutch cannot be fully disengaged so I cannot get it into gear.
The bite point is about 10mm off the floor. I am using the same clutch cable
and the quadrant is untouched.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
