- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does a Ford Ka have a clutch at all?
Yes – every Ford Ka sold in the UK came with a manual gearbox as standard, so all of them have a conventional clutch assembly (friction plate, pressure plate and release bearing). There was no automatic transmission option offered on the Ka in the UK market, meaning a clutch is a genuine and relevant part for every Ka on the road. If your Ka is slipping, not biting or making a noise when you press the pedal, a used clutch kit from a breaker is a sensible route.
Will a clutch from a Mk1 Ford Ka (1996–2008) fit a Mk2 Ford Ka (2008–2016)?
No – the Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) and the Mk2 Ka (2008–2016) are completely different platforms with different engines and gearboxes, so the clutch components do not cross over between generations. The Mk2 moved to a Fiat-derived platform sharing underpinnings with the Fiat 500, bringing entirely different engine and transmission architecture. Always source a clutch from the same generation as your car and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Does the engine code matter when buying a used clutch for my Ford Ka?
Yes, the engine code is the single most important detail for clutch fitment – the clutch size and spline count follow the engine and gearbox, not the model year or badge. On the Mk1 Ka the common engines include the 1.3i Endura and later the 1.3 Duratec, and on the Mk2 Ka the 1.2 and 1.3 FIRE units, each pairing with a specific gearbox and clutch specification. You can find your engine code on your V5C or via a VIN check, and passing that code to the breaker is the fastest way to confirm you are getting the right part.
Does the trim level affect which clutch I need – for example, does a Ka Studio need a different clutch than a Ka Zetec?
No – trim level makes no difference to clutch fitment on the Ford Ka; Studio, Zetec and Edge trims all use the same clutch assembly provided the engine code and gearbox are the same. Trim levels on the Ka relate to interior and exterior equipment, not the drivetrain. Just match on engine code and confirm with the breaker against your registration.
Will a clutch from a 2007 Ford Ka fit a 2009 Ford Ka?
Almost certainly not – 2007 falls in the final years of the Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) while 2009 is early Mk2 Ka (2008–2016), and these two generations use completely different platforms, engines and gearboxes. The clutch components are not interchangeable across this generation boundary. Always tell the breaker your registration number and engine code so they can pull the correct part for your specific car.
Can I use a clutch from a Ford Ka with a 1.3 Duratec in my Ka with a 1.3 FIRE engine?
No – the 1.3 Duratec is a Ford-family engine found in the later Mk1 Ka, while the 1.3 FIRE is a Fiat-derived unit used in the Mk2 Ka, and the two use different gearboxes with different input shaft dimensions and clutch specifications. Mixing parts between these engine families is very unlikely to work and should not be attempted without expert verification. Give the breaker your exact engine code and registration and they will identify the correct clutch for your car.
