I'm looking at a 2015 Ford Focus Titanium 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6AM) and read about a sticky or jerky clutch. What's your opinion on this car, perfect condition and 69k miles?
Or my other = TRz 🤣
From the way it seems, Alot of C.D.F Drums need to be replaced in the 10 speed Ford Rangers and F150's. That sounds like it should be a Recall if it's happening to alot of there trucks and they need to replace them all without us having to pay for it.
Hello Ben, I’m getting ready to re assemble my 6f35 as per your videos. How ever the direct drive drum has a black coating on it that’s missing a little on 1 side. Is this an issue?

@ Do you know if it’s a Mazda engine
Took them a long time but Ford eventually got it right, …sort of. It won’t set your world on fire, but at least it’ll get you home. Sadly back to square one with the EcoBoom engine which has to be the least reliable engine in the world!
Do they use the same clutch? I’m assuming not. I’m trying to find a clutch and flywheel for a 2017 1.0L
@@GtrsNCars nope. Check rockauto
@ thanks Ben! By the way, I’m not sure what’s up with this clutch but there’s no gears at all. Clutch in or out it feels like the clutch is engaged at all times. Haven’t torn it apart yet but am I likely looking at a clutch replacement or is there something else that could cause that? Fluid? Bleeding? Etc… The car has brakes but the fluid is dirty. Also, shouldn’t replace the flywheel as well?
Believe it or not I have a 2014 Ford Escape with 268 thousand on it and I hoping the transmission last till 300 thousand i doubt it tho 😂but wish me luck 🤞😂
Hey what does it mean when my car is accelerating slowly in a 2019 ford fusion, they just replaced the fuel pressure pump and it still seems like it doesn’t want to get through the gears quickly when accelerating. Feels sluggish. Also when accelerating I notice a lag or slip everytime I hit 40 mph or decelerating, when it goes past 40 mph it will be a very noticable downshift kind of jolt. Please help, just bought this car and it’s been in and out the shop for 3 months. Just had a engine replacement due to Recall….
@zariabailey5512 sounds like you need a good diagnosis, how about the dealer? It's possible your torque converter has failed but that's an educated guess
@ it’s been back and forth to the ford dealership for a month, taking it in today. Thank you for responding
Does anyone have the Ford part numbers for these seals?
After a very bad experience with a 2001 Focus with a duratec engine I swear I won't buy a Ford again!
I just did a clutch job for no reverse and eratic shifting on my 2013 Focus. With only 44k total miles, I cannot believe I had to do this already. I replaced the transmission input seals; inside of the case appeared to have a little bit of oil, but not much though; so clutch itself was probably still ok, clutch discs still had a lot of material left. Since I had already pulled the transmission out for inspection, I put a new dual clutch kit and new forks anyway. Now, no reverse and got P087 code. I followed your procedure when installing the nuts, rotated engine about 10 revolutions, but after all that, engine has a vibration at around 1k RPM that it didn't have before. I still have to chase the P087 code and no reverse. What should I try next? Thanks in advance.
@@NoJodas671 th-cam.com/video/2-9PkV-8N7A/w-d-xo.html
So I think my fork spline in A position are toast. It won’t recoil back from a turn annd it’s loose ans well and stuck when I turn it with the to. and the car won’t start well or change gear when accelerating. What is the fix in this case? Do I need a whole new fork A? Do I need to drop the transmissions and open for that?
Hi, yeah and i've got videos for pulling the transmission out and doing the clutch/fork job with no special tools. And i've got links in those videos for all the parts you need.
just turn counter clockwise whole with some tool which fits, spray bake cleaner to clean all dust from bearing without leaving to recoil, the ball bearing cleans up, keep roatating anti clockwise and clockwise back and forth spray some more while holding to anticlockwise to thoroughly clean the bearing which is getting stuck, now put some vegetable oil instead of wd40(which eats rubber bushing overtime). put actuator back. turn on key, turn off 3 times for actuator to adjust to position then start the car. its 8 months and car still shifts smoother than before. its just that small bearing inside the whole fork assembly which moves actuator pinion.
Serviced my transmission at 31,000 miles. It dies at 41,000 miles. Can we add an oil cooler and ditch the stock bypass and cooler? Also is there a way to add a dipstick?
I agree with you ,here in Nova Scotia Canada, this morning -10c ,gave my f150 3.5 about 3 mins to come off fast idle.My main reason for that is because of how bad my 10r80 shifts when cold
I just replace mine on 2019 and I try to key on and shift gear it doesn’t light up but when I leave it on driver it show I am not on park tho . Does yours light up all the gear with key on ?
@daniel-qi1cy hey yeah mine did. Is yours connected, and aligned with the detent spring? And how's the wiring look going into the transmission?
@ I am broke down on the road. Replacing it myself everything looks good even the wiring. Before I change the sensor, it doesn’t even give me no pop up notification saying that it’s on park or driver but after installing new one it give me notification if I try to get out it’s not in park and I put it in park but still those gear are not lighting up
@ I am putting everything back now and see if that will even start my truck , it shut my truck down before I put in new one, and won’t let it start
Interesting, I was just told by a Ford dealership that this was a three hour job.
@@nathanielradtke7590 it's a 0.3 hour job
As a mechanical engineer, engines need a few minutes of warming before heading out; and until reaching operating temperature, I keep the RPM at 1500. I have a block heater on my F-350, although the oil doesn't get to the top end for at least a minute or so. Do whatever you want, but a few minutes of warm-up is better than $100k for a new truck or a new Z06. PS I ever warm up my daily commuter a 2018 Fiesta ST...
Thanks for the input, much appreciated
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles All I have been doing was engines since I blew up my Go Kart as a child. Another thing I would like to mention is the extended oil service intervals. Oil is cheap insurance and I change mine at 3k or yearly whichever comes first...
-12C? Must be nice! 😋 I'm in Canada near the ND/MN border, and that's a warm day for us. Our winters haven't been as cold in recent years, but we still see -35 or lower sometimes (not including windchill, which doesn't apply to vehicles, just adding for human perspective) Also, many modern block heaters have cord ends that don't even kick in til -20C. They often break off anyway, and putting a regular end on sometimes throws a code if the vehicles sits for like 10+ hrs and the ECT sensor doesn't jive with the IAT or something. I forget. But the biggest factor seems to be oil. Here's a very old video made by Esso that shows how long it takes for various oils to get to the top end when cold starting! Eat your heart out Project farm 😂 th-cam.com/video/OWiQyR7PWII/w-d-xo.html
Oh, and many of us are lazy/spoiled, so we use remote starts and let it idle. But many OEMs put in timers, like my 14 equinox, which is 15 mins.
very interesting video! watching now
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles part 2 was posted before part 1 on that channel 😂 It's just as interesting tho!
Just got home from ford, ive had the re-learn,valve body done and there gonna rebuild it now. They said the parts will be the updated cdf drum..its a 2019 f150 xlt. Im wondering if people have had problems after having the updated cdf drum done at the dealer.. any response would be great.Jeremy.
Hey, yeah but it'll just be firm shifts after a while. And they pretty much all do that, and I wouldn't worry about it unless its really bad.
Hi Ben, if this is your name, could you please inform me about the products used, like cleaner and conditioner, clutter fix ?, thank you

@ thank you! Have a nice day😉
I love this channel! I learn a lot from your videos. What is your opinion as a Ford tech about the EcoBoost 1.0L? I've heard those aren't as reliable as the Duratec engines. What recommendations can you suggest for owners with that engine? Thank you.
@specialistcr I'm glad the videos helped you! As far as the 1.0, it's certainly not as reliable as the 2.0. But, if you keep fresh timing and oil pump belts in it, and change the oil religiously, it should be a decently reliable engine. I don't recall the replacement interval ford states, but I would do it sooner. And also ford's got a recall on the tensioner so get that done.
thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
Accords camrys and civics will run laps around that pos.
What a POS motor and manufacturer. Interference motor with a timing belt that you have to pull to do the water pump thats powered by the serpentine belt. Junk. Ford is a joke.
If the pump is whining do you think the transmission is too far gone to even attempt a flush? I’m trying to get my sisters fusion temporarily driving until I source a used trans.
hi, if the pump is whining I would just top off the fluid if its low, until you can replace it
@ it kicks, there’s no power, and won’t go into reverse sometimes. Fluid is at correct level only does it once it gets to operating temperature. Also appreciate your videos they’re the best.
Merci

I have a 2013 Ford Focus. The guy said he had the trans repaired under warranty. It now grinds and shudders from 1-2. Never fails to shuft and runs great!! Love driving the car. It has about 15k miles since recall repair. I can manually shift and it does great. Should I be worried or just drive the wheels off it? Thanks
Hey, just drive the wheels off it. They all shudder eventually.
Thank you so much
I had a transmission replaced but a few wires were left loose. Someone mentioned that the transmission range sensor was probably damaged because it popped up when they stuck device in to give a diagnosis. They mentioned that this was causes the car not to start because it was not in drive. So, we're going to replace the transmission range sensor. Hopefully that works. You are very knowledgeable of Ford Escape and thank you for your insights.
Thank you so much

Main leakage on these focuses is actually the AC seals.
