Clutch and dual-mass flywheel on the 2006–2011 Ford Ranger

Sources are not verified in real time and no entry confirms that your car is affected.

Engine / equipment
Ford Ranger 2.5 and 3.0 TDCi (PJ/PK generation)
Period mentioned
2006–2011
Symptoms
A clutch that slips or judders before 100,000 km on manual versions; on some automatics, slipping gears.
Possible cause described
The Australian guide notes that the clutch can wear out before 100,000 km with normal use and that the dual-mass flywheel then usually has to be replaced too, which makes the repair expensive. There were recalls for possible cracks at the bonnet striker (2010), the Ford accessory cruise control (2011) and the tow-bar tongue (2012).
Check for the garage
Test the clutch on a hill and under load; listen to the flywheel at idle; on the automatic, check that it does not slip; check the recalls and look for worksite or off-road damage.
