Hi, you can proudly add the Mazda 2, DY to your video title. Mine broke down three days ago on Mallorca. When I got the error code the future of my car was at risk. So many weird stories about unsuccessful attempts from Ford and Mazda dealers. Today I followed your advice and THANK YOU SO MUCH - the car runs again :-)! I managed not to break the end cap by using a 14mm nut with sanding paper attached and a slow electric drill. The Mazda deleted all error codes automatically after a restart, so it is possible to do the repair without electronic tools. My biggest challenge was to loosen the upper "no. 3" screw from the unit. Your trouble shooting skills are excellent. All the best!
Had the same problems with my Durashift, nearly the same error codes. Did it exactly like you did in the video - and it WORKED !! Thank you for your help! Greetings from Germany ✌🏻
You're the man! My Grand-daughter's car had exactly this fault. Local garage confirmed a P0919 fault (amongst others) but didn't know how to proceed. I asked them to carry out this procedure and Presto!, her car is back on the road all fixed and they only charged me £60! Amazing service!! Thank you so much for your posting!
Thank you so much for making this video. The same thing happened to our Ford Fusion, stuck in 4th gear. With help of this video managed to resolve it in the same way. Thanks a lot!!!
Brilliant vid, thank you so much. After watching this and having the same problem, I stripped motors out and found the shaft seized, cleaned it out with a 16mm reamer, grease and it runs like new, can even hear the gears click in on standstill, really easy and very cheap fix, took about an hour and a half, just a couple of small points, first, as I didn't have the ford software to hand, just a code reader, I marked the shafts position and the motor just to make sure they went back the same way, second, although it worked, I didn't use wet and dry to clean out bush, because the plastic is very soft compared to a metal one, so any abrasive material could easily impregnate into the bush, and possibly cause more problems later, hence using a reamer, but really good and helpful vid, thank you again, will save some people a lot of money, considering most garages just change parts now and now try to repair them.
Mate, what a great video. I was going to down the route of the PCM, TCM can bus wiring but you saved me loads of work and helped keep my customers car on the road. Thank for the help Mike
Another no parts repair and a happy customer . great Fix . You will have to make up some proper 12 volt test leads in the van before you set yourself on fire. LOL. Thanks Mark
Mark Eastwood Lol... Indeed I need to make some leads... But you know the saying... The shoemaker's son always goes barefoot... Thank for watching Mark!
I wanna thank you for making this video. My 2007 Fiesta had the same problem and I followed this tutorial and it fixed everything. Hope I can use my Fiesta for a few years longer now. Great job!!
The plastic bushing is also the main cause and common fault of hard and sticking manual gear selection on the mk6 Fiesta range, Louis.. Fixed my St gears by fine sandpaper and regreasing the shaft and bushing.. Great diagnostic skills you have and enjoy watching your videos.. I wish you continued success and good fortune.. and would love you to sort out my Fiesta electrical problems!
Great video Louis, I have one of these turned up this evening from another garage, was just doing a little home work as not messed with this system before ( like yourself) Fault codes are different but I will be taking a look at amps on motors when activated see if this gives directions with diagnostic. Many thanks and keep up the good work.
Your thought process is so easy to follow. I must add that the share number of diagnostic tool is overwhelming. I can't catch up. Are there no J2534 diagnostic tool that can do all these vehicles diagnostics on one single laptop?
Another nice little repair! The word I think you were looking for when you were sanding away was "sleeve". Interesting the rust behind that little sleeve compresses it. Reminded me of the ABS ring you replaced on that 1 series BMW :) Thanks again for sharing. Great stuff.
These motors always stop working because of the corrosion problem. The corrosion can be stopped by lifting the bonnet every week and spraying the outside of the motors with WD40. I have done this for the past 5 years ! My motors stopped working at 30000 miles ( 5 years ago ) I have had no problems since then and I have now done 81000 miles. If the gears won't work use plenty of WD40 ( several times ) and let it sink into the motors for a few days and also knock the motors with a hammer. ( this is how an old Ford mechanic got mine working )
Thank you so much for all your time and efforts. My gear actuator hasn't failed yet but now i'll know how to check it when it does. If it's not a rod issue though, do you think it could be a worn brushes issue just like the clutch actuator and can I replace them the same way?
excellent video and diagnosis and repair. you have a great presense on this electronic and mechanical complexities. you are brilliant. could I ask in relation to this video. Have you now got a van to pickup vehicles yourself. or have you changed your job from the well known chip manufacturer? I hoping that you are well paid for your successful diagnosis and repair. I am really thankful that you are sharing these videos with us and your expertise. I think that most autoelectricians see their chance to rip off the unknowing person. you clearly are not. many thanks
colin Lyne Hi Thank you for watching and for the really nice comment! I have the van indeed, and I can pick up cars with it... but I still working making chips...🙁 The opportunity to change, did not yet arised...

In the rain, the transmission robot got water and a yellow exclamation mark started to appear on the screen. The car would not start. It also shows P0919-60 fault code. What can we do?
Hi could you please put or name the diagnostic scanner your are using during each video ? Like this scanner you have used throughout this video? What it called? Where can be purchased? Thanks
Hiii...r these gear shift motors on all automatic cars??? usually auto cars hv mechatronics with shift solenoids...do the shift solenoids and gear shift motors have the same function??? plzzz advice...thank you
Hey, I am experiencing the EXACT same issue on my Ford Fiesta 2006 semi-auto. Before I get my hands dirty I'm wondering what does this motor sound like when you try to change gear/turn the engine on? On mine you hear four or five clicking and buzzing noises as the motor tries to operate.
Hello LM AUTOS I also have a 1.4 semi automatic Ford Fiesta 2006 I had the same problem my car wouldn’t start the word TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION on my dashboard then after it started now I am driving it about. Do you think the car has any problems isit ok ? As it’s driving fine now ?
i roughly the same problem no previous issues park it it came back out few hours later wont start now have the transmission light removed the actuator its not stuck moves freely cant hear the clutch actuator working don't have any diag kits so pretty lost help would be appreciated
You need a scanner... otherwise is pure guess work... A scan should point you in the right direction... and if is the clutch system, you will need a scan tool to then bleed the system anyway... Some jobs you just can't get away without the correct tools... Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs went to the clutch actuator and the brushes were gone got some new ones and put them in also cleaned up the corroded grounds under battery tray been driving it about no issues yet been a 3-4 days re wrapped all the cables and put the cover back on
Just a quick question, if anyone has an answer. This happened to my 07 Fiesta a couple of weeks back. Then the next day I tried and it started a few times. Then Transmission Malfunction again. Drove it and it stopped recognising gear again while driving and I had to pull over. Gave it 10 mins and it started again and drove without issue So what I'm asking is would it be the same problem if the car starts sometimes it if the car runs and then has this issue while running? Cheers. Absolutely great videos btw.
Orlando.. how did you fix your issue? My partners car was exactly how you've described for about 2weeks. Now.. its completely dead.. exactly the same as the start of this video.. I am just waiting for a scanner as my obd won't read any faults
@@hutson92 Hi, I eventually had to take it to a mechanic who specialises in auto-trans cars. He replaced the clutch actuator with a reconditioned one. But then about 4 weeks later almost the same happened again but this time no restarts after any amount of time. This time he said the gear selector actuator had gone. So I got that replaced and then part traded my car in for a newer car. It was becoming a false economy and I just didn't trust the car any more. So depending on how expensive replacement of parts are in your area I'd have a good think about it. Good luck.
Not a great idea on Ford’s part to put the selector mechanism in such a vulnerable position without fully weatherproofing.. As always another great video.
Hello. I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Colt. I believe it has the same gearbox like this Fiesta. My problem is that when i want to slowly move the car (forward or backward) the car is jerking, kinda like when it's struggeling (like the clutch is not engaging fully), but if i step a bit harder on the gas, it is starting to move just fine. Is there anything called resetting/adapting this kind of robotized gearbox? It feels like the clutch is not engagin enough if i want "inching forward" the car and it is very annoying at parking or in slow traffic. I don't know if i should reset/adapt the gearbox or should i change the clutch? The car doesn't have any fail codes.... Do you have a tought on this?
Usually there is some sort of clutch learning/adaptation procedure... Never did that on a colt... You need to plug it in and check... Thank for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs you are really a genius at what you are doing, i admire every video that you are making, altough i am not a mechanic i find it very satisfying to watch you repair all the broken cars. Thank you
@@bh25jay Not really... unless there is a real problem, and the adaptation just highlights it even more... or, makes no difference... You don't need a Mitsubishi tester... any decent tool should be able to do it...
The clutch? I didn't work on the clutch on this car... But I have a video in that... As I had one that was the clutch... Just search my channel... You will need a scan tool capable of doing the bleed... Thank you for watching!
Hi thanks for the response. I meant actuator. I was doing what u did and it helped but now I have to bleed the system. I won't me able to make it without the computer even with pressure bleeding kit ? Thanks again for the video and all the help you are providing.
I am not sure what you are talking about... The gears actuator I work on, is mechanical... there is nothing to bleed... There is a teaching procedure to make sure that the gears are all engaged and synchronised correctly... but that is it...
Thanks for your video,very detailed.Just a quick question i have the same problem on my vauxhall meriva,but the gearbox is an easytronic,very similar to this.On youtube most easytronic suffer from clutch actuator failure...i took the car down to the garage andthey couldn't fix it.After watching this video i start thinking that i have the same problem:when the car died i was in 4th gear and after i was unable to restart it with usual F on dash.i just managed to bleed the system the engine starts in N but when i select another gear nothing happens except a grinding noise,then put the Reverse gear and car jump backwards and engine stops. Seems like a conflict between gear...but from garage fault reading doesn't show 4th gear is in.Any ideas or suggestions?apart kill the mechanic?😂
Lol I never worked on one of those... but... I would dismantle the actuators and inspect... that's what I have done on this... Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!
Great vids you do but for around a tenner I would have changed the brushes in the motors as they are common fault with ford auto box. Ford will just say you need new motors for lot of money, the brushes are not much different from a dewalt drill
LM Auto Repairs I make diagnoses, and I think that I do't need a workshop, because all work I go to where the car is, I only have the laboratory, I think it is a good idea to make diagnoses at home, Your videos inspired me, I only have 25 years and study since y was 15 about this, give my respects
Appreciate your comment, and the fact that you found my content inspiring, is rewarding to know that! You are on the right track, mobile diagnostics are a great idea... a lot of shops fail on diagnose correctly, costing time and money, on parts that did not need replacing... The correct diagnostic can save hundreds... Good luck on you work, and thank you for watching!
Manuals are for those who want the strain of citydriving yet never stop at pedestrian passages because it's too much effort to operate the clutch. I've seen plenty. Besides, this is a gearbox which leaves you in control if desired. Automakers MUST design gearboxes bomb-proof to make them last till the car is written off. That's why I recommend Japanese models.
@@LMAutoRepairs No mate. I just sent the 2 units off for repair he said I’ve no need to code it. Also I don’t have any EML light on dash as yet I’ve plugged a cheap £60 tester in it but no codes coming up at all mate
@LM Auto Repairs - Hello guys, is this how the problem looks like from the bottom of the car? My Ford Fusion with EST Durashift can't start, most probably stucked in reverse gear - once i move with the gear shift it looks/sounds like this: th-cam.com/users/shorts-JoN3wf6Tgg? Thank you for any ideas :)
Hi Possibly... those levers should move as different gears are engaged... obviously stationary you can only go reverse, 1st and probably 2nd... either way should be movement and those are selected... 👍👍👍

You don't need a Mitsubishi tester... any decent tool should be able to do it...

well done, thanks again for the video!
Thank you for watching!
How do you bleed the clutch afterwards? I know it's the same fluid with brakes so should bleed them or there is separate valve for the clutch ? Thanks
The clutch?
I didn't work on the clutch on this car...
But I have a video in that... As I had one that was the clutch...
Just search my channel...
You will need a scan tool capable of doing the bleed...
Thank you for watching!
Hi thanks for the response. I meant actuator. I was doing what u did and it helped but now I have to bleed the system. I won't me able to make it without the computer even with pressure bleeding kit ? Thanks again for the video and all the help you are providing.
I am not sure what you are talking about...
The gears actuator I work on, is mechanical... there is nothing to bleed...
There is a teaching procedure to make sure that the gears are all engaged and synchronised correctly... but that is it...
Where are you based ? Do you cover London area ? If yes could you send me your contact info thanks.
No... not even near london...
Sorry...
Thanks for your video,very detailed.Just a quick question i have the same problem on my vauxhall meriva,but the gearbox is an easytronic,very similar to this.On youtube most easytronic suffer from clutch actuator failure...i took the car down to the garage andthey couldn't fix it.After watching this video i start thinking that i have the same problem:when the car died i was in 4th gear and after i was unable to restart it with usual F on dash.i just managed to bleed the system the engine starts in N but when i select another gear nothing happens except a grinding noise,then put the Reverse gear and car jump backwards and engine stops.
Seems like a conflict between gear...but from garage fault reading doesn't show 4th gear is in.Any ideas or suggestions?apart kill the mechanic?😂
Lol
I never worked on one of those... but... I would dismantle the actuators and inspect... that's what I have done on this...
Hope that helps.
Thank you for watching!

Great vids you do but for around a tenner I would have changed the brushes in the motors as they are common fault with ford auto box. Ford will just say you need new motors for lot of money, the brushes are not much different from a dewalt drill
👍👍👍
do you need to be connected to the internet to use the ford ids tool you are using manythanks

Nice job, but seems to me that the rubber boot on the shaft was broken. If so, that’s explains the corosion.

I do this as a part time on my driveway...
No workshop... I have a van, but not set up as a mobile shop...
Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs I make diagnoses, and I think that I do't need a workshop, because all work I go to where the car is, I only have the laboratory, I think it is a good idea to make diagnoses at home,
Your videos inspired me, I only have 25 years and study since y was 15 about this, give my respects
Appreciate your comment, and the fact that you found my content inspiring, is rewarding to know that!
You are on the right track, mobile diagnostics are a great idea... a lot of shops fail on diagnose correctly, costing time and money, on parts that did not need replacing...
The correct diagnostic can save hundreds...
Good luck on you work, and thank you for watching!
Thanks voor het video's dat is egt goed

This is a well known fault with Durashift EST.
Best repair ever - prevent it. How? Don't buy automatics. Manual transmission and control all the way.

Manuals are for those who want the strain of citydriving yet never stop at pedestrian passages because it's too much effort to operate the clutch. I've seen plenty. Besides, this is a gearbox which leaves you in control if desired. Automakers MUST design gearboxes bomb-proof to make them last till the car is written off. That's why I recommend Japanese models.
first of All you looking handsome in this video >>>>>>>> great video as usual

Do you mean, the price of the scanner?
Thank you for watching!
@LM Auto Repairs - Hello guys, is this how the problem looks like from the bottom of the car? My Ford Fusion with EST Durashift can't start, most probably stucked in reverse gear - once i move with the gear shift it looks/sounds like this: th-cam.com/users/shorts-JoN3wf6Tgg? Thank you for any ideas :)
Hi
Possibly... those levers should move as different gears are engaged... obviously stationary you can only go reverse, 1st and probably 2nd... either way should be movement and those are selected...
👍👍👍
