Hi here are the pics of my box out, the driveshaft seal goes in hole in the gearbox diff housing I also included a picture of the reciprocating part of the diff, the exploded diagram shows the other possible contender marked in yellow that fits between radius shaft and the inner bore of the slave cylinder, the pressure plate and driven plate are industrial quality with regard too gripping there are only three things that cause slip, clutch master, contamination or just good old wear

Hi its one of two things, if the whole brake system is not bled with the cylinder the symptoms will return, get the car up in the air remove the belly pan and there is an inspection cover on the bottom of the bell housing pull it off and have a good look inside for oil misting/oil there are two real nasty oil seals in there one inside the slave cylinder and one on the n/s driveshaft which runs across the box to the diff the seal there is prone to leaking gear oil as well, if its as dry as a bone in there its definitely the pressure plate going weak, how many miles has the car done, will post some pics that my be of use in understanding. Steve.

Hi its the clutch master cylinder holding off, I had it on my car they are Cr@p plastic thing and the seals swell if the brake fluid is a bit past its change date, mine went about 3 months after I had my clutch changed the reason the symptoms are random is because it is all regulated by the torque bite depending which gear you are in say 3rd at 1500 rpm as soon as you push the throttle as the torque increases the the thing will briefly slip then grip, do that for too long and it does wonders for the driven plate wear, quite a bit of stripping down under the plastic scuttle to get at the cylinder and about two hours graft in all, did mine and used an O.E. cylinder from TPS as my mechanic told me the Febi units were failing quite frequently, bled everything with fresh fluid and not had a problem since, BTW Ford are having a real problem with this with Transits and now insist you change the clutch master when you put in a new clutch.

If you bought it on finance I'd be speaking to the finance company on the grounds of not fit for purpose. With all the evidence that you were not informed of potential issues prior to purchase. I doubt you'll get anywhere with the dealer as it's well past the 30 days.
