Used Ford Puma Clutch Slave Cylinder

The Ford Puma (1997–2002) is only available with a manual gearbox, so yes, it does have a clutch system — however, the Puma uses a cable-operated clutch rather than a hydraulic one, meaning there is no clutch slave cylinder fitted to any variant of this model. If you are experiencing clutch problems, the components you are likely looking for are the clutch cable, clutch fork, or the clutch kit itself (friction plate, pressure plate, and release bearing).

Because the Puma's clutch is cable-operated throughout its entire production run (1997–2002) and across all engine variants — including the 1.4, 1.6, and 1.7 — the relevant parts are the clutch cable, clutch pedal assembly, or the clutch kit comprising the pressure plate, friction disc, and release bearing. Your engine code, found on your V5 or via a VIN check, is the most useful detail to give a breaker when sourcing any of these parts, as the 1.7 Duratec VCT engine in particular has its own specification. A clutch slave cylinder simply was not part of the Puma's drivetrain design at any point.

If a Puma has been subject to a non-standard gearbox conversion, it is theoretically possible a hydraulic clutch setup including a slave cylinder could be present, but this would be an aftermarket modification and not a factory fitment on any production Puma. In that situation, the slave cylinder would be specific to whichever gearbox has been fitted rather than being a Puma part, and a specialist or performance breaker familiar with that conversion would be the right person to consult. For any standard, unmodified Puma, no slave cylinder exists.

This is most likely a listing error or a parts catalogue misattribution, as no production Ford Puma variant was ever fitted with a hydraulic clutch and therefore no slave cylinder was factory-fitted. It is worth contacting the breaker or seller directly to clarify, and double-checking that the listing is not confused with another Ford model such as the Fiesta or Focus of the same era, which do have hydraulic clutch systems on some variants. For a standard Puma, the clutch cable is the part you need rather than a slave cylinder.
