Hi

My wife got a 63 plate 1.0 Ecoboost manual B-Max at the beginning of the year. It's a lovely car but she finds the clutch very heavy and is now complaining about it a bit. The clutch has always been heavy since we had it but it works fine without any juddering. I would agree the clutch is heavy, much more so than in my 10 year old Fiesta and I'm not sure I'd like to be stuck in traffic jam for hours if I was driving the B-Max.


My question is this normal? Do other people find the clutch heavy or does this need looking at?


Note this is the 5 speed manual, not the auto.


Thanks

Difficult to say. I find mine o.k - not light, but not too heavy either.

Might be a good idea to compare it with another B max. Go to your local Ford dealers and compare it with one of their used ones they have for sale.

I found the b max clutch a little heavier than those on my previous Fords, but it wasnt an issue and i soon got used to it.
