whats the price on a clutch for it?

About £70 for the kit and around the same to fit it if you use a backstreet/hobbler type of person.
It`s a pretty easy job if your mechanically minded,should get it done in a morning or so,just need a good socket set,balljoint splitter and a clutch alignment tool,you can get the latter for about £20 a pair or borrow them.
Great vans,keep an eye on timing belts and rust and you`ll be onto a winner.
 
tried ebay???
 
Fitting a clutch is not a simple as it sounds. You will need to drop the gearbox out and without a ramp its not easy. I done one this christmas with my brother in the snow. We had no ramp. It was an absolute nightmare. From a cheap mechanic you are looking at about £200 to fit a clutch.
 
I had an 97 escort van sadly it died of terminal tin worm but i do have a strong full length roof rack here for one if anyone needs it cracking for ladders etc BUT it knocks the mpg back at least 5 or 10 ..

I liked the escort i would have another and changing the clutch wouldnt bother me if the price was right :)

72-van
 
I did the earlier Escort clutch/gearbox change twice in a row as first box was faulty.Wasn't too bad with axle stands and a jack or two and some bits of wood.A lot easier than most other cars as it drops out from below.
