mine was built in sept 05. but i haven't heard anything


Mine was may/June 05 and so far nothing.

I looked at the pedal assembly and there's no bolt, just a short rod on the pedal arm that the clutch piston rod eye fits over. So there's nothing to stop the piston rod end eye moving off the end of the rod except the fact it would have to be seriously distorted out of line to do it. I expect this washer thingy is just one of those with fingers round the inside of the hole that pushes on but grips hard when you want to take it off.

Mine was snug up against the pedal arm. I'll keep an eye on it till I hear from Ford.
