I was tired of dealing with a constantly squeeking clutch and the engagement point always being somewhere else, so i began to put my foot under the clutch and pull it up which fixed it a little, at least it kept the clutch working to some degree, but I was still tired of dealing with that squeeking sound. So, I went to the autobody shop at school and talked to a guy there who was ford certified. He said that it sounded like my slave cylinder was getting jammed, or something like that, I was wondering though.... what is the average cost to replace a clutch.... and can i upgrade clutches with just a stock v6? I'd like to get the clutch a little lower to the ground if that's possible. I know absolutely nothing about how to do this though and I was hoping for a possible price range and what kind of equipment I might need so i can scout them out online and stuff. Could someone help me out with this? Thanks!

if he is ford certified and he said you have a slave cylinder he does not need to be ford certified lol you dont have a slave cylinder you dont have a hydrolic clutch you have a clutch cable. the clutch install for your car is pretty darn easy, i would just buy an oem clutch and resurface the flywheel (clutch being pressure plate and clutch disk) and also you need to replace the throw out bearing. if you REALLY want to do it right and you really should else you may find your self right back in the tranny again very soon.... replace the pilot bearing, fork arm, pivot ball stut, and inspect the bearing retainer for scars and replace if needed.

Yes we have no slave cylinder, replacing the clutch cable with an adjustable one, like from Steeda may help with the engagement point as well instead of screwing around with the sloppy clutch.
I replaced the clutch and TOB in my car by myself and I'm no mechanic, but I still had to get rid of the stock clutch cable for a better feel to the clutch.

you can order a UPR or steeda quadrent and firewall adjuster and get a new oem clutch cable this will alow you to set the clutch cable up for the correct engagment, should only be a half inch of slack before the clutch starts to go into neutral.... this means with out a petal height adjuster from maximum motorsports your clutch petal will be as high as it can all the time.... but it doesnt bother me might not you.
