Man, I have this car and I was really freaked out after hearing how much the repair costs and how many people have this problems. Was about to sell it to avoid the trouble in the future, but now I actually have some peace of mind. Thank you very much!
All that dust can't be good for the lungs. I know as guys some of us are too tough/macho to think/use safety gear but cancer does not discriminate between genders. For your health/well being I strongly recommend you use an appropriate respirator for the job. These things tend to catch up to us as we age. Trust me on this. I'm 49 y/o, worked as a mechanic for 20 yrs. Your call brother. Thanks for uploading.
Yes for sure. Safety first!

No mechanic was able to fix my ford in El Salvador. I found your video, bought all tools and boom 💥… I fixed it 🫡🇸🇻
Nice! Good job 👍
🇮🇱🧻💩
I just replaced the same thing on my 2013 ford focus hatchback i dont have that to reprogram my tcm how can i do it and do u know how much the dealer ford would charge to reprogram my car
You helped me a lot. Thank you very much, you are helping hundreds of people with this video! Thank you
watching from the Philippines and I was surprised at how easy it was. I was quoted 5500 USD by Ford Philippines. but now I pulled out my car from them and let someone do it by outside shops. Thanks for this man!
I was struggling with transmission issue since one year and nobody gave me a clear explanation about the weird sounds I hear even Ford! Now all is clear! thank you so much
How did you go about getting that fixed?
@@austingagnier I put a new clutch set, release forks changed also..
Ford cant find a definitive solution, there will always be premature clutch wear with this powershift transmission
Thanks for the free knowledge, I see this job coming my way in the future
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You’ve inspired to make some videos on things I know real well.
Great Video! Very Helpful. Just bought a 2016 Focus 2.0. No codes or anything, but certainly felt like from 1st to 2nd slipped or was "rough." I did as you suggested, but didn't spin the actuator. Just vacuumed, sprayed brake cleaner let it sit, then WD40. Put it back in with screws and turned key a few times to light up panel and engage actuator. Repeated 3 times. Runs great now! Is this something I should do every year? or XX miles for maintenance? I have no desire nor skill to remove and take apart the transmission.
Hi sir, your videos are very helpful, i wanna try pulling down my transmission on my own but i dont know how to, if you have a step by step guide on how to pull it down that would be great! 🙂
my focus stopped reversing and skipped gears
the code indicated the clutch motor to be the problem,
the motors both worked and when i removed the transmission, i was full of corrosion and moisture
one clutch fork was jammed in the disengaged position and the entire clutch popped out from under spring tension
your video really helped
Ford's DCT is the most misunderstood transmission in history. I have a Mexican Ecosport with The 2.0 and DCT tranny. Traveled from Dallas to CUU, even Puerto Vallarta and Dallas to Chicago. I'm at over 115k miles now. Clutch A is getting stuck and I had the same plan as you just explained in the video. Thank you for sharing bro.
100% agree with that statement! I think it is a great transmission that had growing pains. But once the issues were corrected the owners were angry and hated the vehicle.
Hi thanks for this free tutorial. I have a ford focus 2013 and had it since 2014. Bought it near new from the dealer 13k kilometers only but after almost a year of use it seems shuddering is already annoying me when driving and brought it back to the dealer. That time I already received a notice of recall regarding this shuddering issue and the service department said it was covered under warranty and a new clutch assembly will be installed. They hold my car for a couple of days for that service but only slight improvement. I have no way of verifying if the new clutch assembly was really installed. It only shows in paper report service that a new clutch assembly was installed. I was checking it under the hood and looking at all the bolts holding this transmission and to me it looks like never been removed. I just convinced myself that they did a pretty good job removing and installing it back like nothing happened. I used it for years until 2020 which a no reverse issue came out. Luckily there’s a recall with the tcm and they replaced it with new tcm. Here I was able to verify physically the new tcm cause it’s attached outside the transmission. It’s been two years since the tcm change and shuddering and sometimes slipping and grinding noise occurs which annoys me. I really love this car except that transmission issue. I have never trusted the dealership service cause the first annual service that I paid them was a disaster. Imagine when I picked up my car after that service and opened the hood there was oil everywhere They left the oil cap sitting in the engine bay. Lucky I didn’t drove away immediately. They cleaned it big time and after that I was servicing my car for the past 8 years on my own except transmission problem. Now that I’ve watched your videos I am now convinced that I can service this time with the needed tools you’ve mentioned. Lastly, will my Autel MK808TS can program the adaptive learning of this transmission? I have owned the new scanner for a couple of months only since buying a European VW Tiguan 2011. Sorry it’s a long story but I just want you to see where I am at this time. Hopefully when I give a crack in servicing the focus transmission I can ask some questions if I will encounter some issues along the way. Cheers bro and keep helping DIY people like me. God bless you
Your Autel should be able to do the adaptive learning.
Look in the Detroit free press a writer Phoebe Wall followed this for years. California class action lawsuit. There is no permanent fix(you have to drive your car BABYING IT then maybe)
Very intitive vid. Sir... Thanks for sharing the most important tips there is for this job... God Bless... Hi from Guatemala
Nice video, thanks for the info. It would be so simple for ford to engineer a rubber boot to go around the fork mechanism with just the tips of the forks sticking out. The boot would keep all the dust off the mechanism. Focus titanium cars are really nice and they get 40mpg at highway speeds.
Thanks, good job! FYI, I used to drive through that intersection all the time!!! LOL, small world.
I just want to say thanks man you helped me out alot with your videos. My wife has a 2014 focus and 2 days after buying it from a dealer the TCM went on it and we had to fight with them to replace it and 3 weeks after getting it back it's having shifting problems again. After watching your other video I'm going to clean the actuators.
Thankyou, for sharing your information and knowledge , how to fix the dual clutch problem , on the ford fiesta and focus , it just no were for the clutch dust to get out and build up , it a wonder Ford didn't make an inspection holes at the bottom of the bell housing to let the dust out , and you could put a air hose to blow the dust out for cleaning , some manual trucks have inspection plates at the bottom of the bell housing for inspection and adjustment ..
Ford TSB for shuddering works for a while if you are just having the 1st-2nd gear shudder. Have a 2012 that's had the TCM reprogrammed at 80k but still shuddered from time to time. Every so often, I've ran the TSB and in doing so, 'scrubs' the clutches enough to keep the shuddering at bay for another 20-30k miles. You will have shudders throughout most of the life of the car in those first two gears. 230k on ours now and it's finally slipping in the 1st-3rd-5th gear clutch and has finally thrown a code indicating a bigger problem. Will reply back with report on code(s) found.
@@comparecars_org Oh I can definitely tell that it needs the 1-3-5 clutch, no doubt. The car only had one code for clutch depth or something similar, I forget sorry. But the car will sit for a few months until I can get parts then another month or more to get someone to work on it. Motor runs like a champ and uses barely any oil.
Is that 230k on original clutch?
@@jasonashley9853 For sure. It had the TCM recall back at just over 100k. Just drive it til it stops and don't worry about the random hickups.
Excellent video. Thanks for being so helpful. God bless you! Same issues with my Ford Fucus 2013. Viktor from GDL Mexico.
working on mine now. got quoted 3100 at the dealer. Thanks for the guide
Yea it’s not cheap, but easy enough to do with a few tools
good info. My daughter is dealing with this now on her focus. They want 3K to replace the clutch. I think she is trading in the car.
2016 ford focus shudder and slips. Then threw a p2872 and started over heating. Had been slipping for a while. Replaced clutch, forks and actuators And reset the transmission. Computer still throwing p2872 and overheating. Now I’m thinking tcm?
If all was done correctly you can try a TCM
Man, you about the first guy I've ran across who was actually dealing with the same issues.
Question,
Would you be willing to give me a step by step process from beginning to end on how to do this procedure, and where to get the tools and parts. My daughter has been getting jerked around by every mechanic she talks to , and I would be willing to compensate you for the knowledge.
You could message him from his channel. Maybe he takes PayPal or patroeon. I sure hope he does. 🙏🏾 We have a 2013 focus 😓

Awesome explanation. I've had so many issues. Short on cash so I can't get the tools or obd tool. But if I do I can follow this video. Thanks for upload, and thanks to @eddie for the health warning.
v linker fs and forscan are your friends 30 bucks ebay
VERY INFORMATIVE ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Easy, when you have the funds, and the correct tools to fix it, having the funds everything is easier.
Would putting some vent hole in the bell housing area help with the dust? Just wondering if u could just put an air nozzle and blow it out once in a while?
Maybe 🤔
I was thinking the same thing.
This video is amazing. Thank you. Where did you get your scan tool?
I got this one back in 2018, they have better ones one. Amazon or eBay
Wow u made it look ez ur a good teacher n mechanic my wife’s 2015 ford focus got a code that the b side actuator is bad so my brother replaced both a n b side so now the reverse doesn’t work on it I’m bummed about this
Thank you for this video really learned a lot about DCT
Thanks for that video. Best instructions so far. Startet the job today. Only missed out on marking the clutch and fly wheel position and no yellow arrow to see. Just one question. The one I am fixing is a ECOSPORT 1.5L 2015. That should be xactly the same clutch as Fiesta and Focus?
Im glad i found this video, im having the same problem with a ‘12 Ford Focus. Ford Dealer charged me for “an easy fix” 3days later the same light and code came back up. And the mechanic at the dealer said if it came back up its not worth fixing.
Do you mind replying with the list of tools by name needed, including that reprogram machine?? Thank you

Very helpful videos and easy way to explain everything THANKS .. i have focus 2012 and message say can not engage gear 2 .. what do you think is it cleaning needed to the forks like you did from the actuators? Just need your opinion thanks
What’s up man what brand tools did you get? A lot of mixed review from eBay and Amazon. Thanks man!
Very Informative and Well Done. What do the think this repair should cost at shop with the right tools?
$1500-2500
@@L8R-HP Thank you
Would I be better off getting a another used/rebuilt trans?
wow amazing work, there's no video on youtube on how to remove ford focus transmission in detail, if you do it that will be a great content and it will help a lot of people, thank you very much.
If you don't have the mechanical knowledge to actually remove the transmission. This is something you should not attempt, and take to a reputable repair shop.
@@scothubbard5323 why you sound so mad Scot, I replaced the whole transmission in my garage with 1.5 ton jack and 2 jack stands, hope this was some inspiration and motivation for you to do it yourself😉👍🏻
MAD?????? You're obviously misinterpreting. I'm not mad, angry or complaining. Sorry if you my posts made you feel that way. I simply asked questions as they came to mind.
@@chicagoa1432 May been because my cap locks was on! 😆
@@chicagoa1432 It's a genuine question. the control system is obviously self adjusting to compensate for wear throughout the life of the clutch. it just seems it shouldn't need resetting??? **** This is NOT an angry reply! **** 😉
Great video.
when you remove trans it pays to mark clutch height by scratching or paint marker....for confidence
Excellent video! Thank you! You mentioned not using the scan tool occasionally, when you don't use the scan tool to relearn the clutch, is it just simple daily driving it gently to get it to relearn? No major throttle input, just basic stop and go/run through the gears?
I don't mind buying the tools to reset the clutch/press in the bearings, but not sure I can swing $700 for the scan tool for a one or two time use.
If everything is working properly it will learn shift points on its own with normal driving.
@@L8R-HP Thank you! I did find a video showing how to access those reset utilities using ForScan, which I can download to my laptop for free and the adapter is much less expensive. I'm buying a Focus from my office that has the beginning stages of the shift issues, and if I can get it cheap enough, and clean it up with a weekend's worth of work, sounds like a win to me!
Muy buen video primo toy investigando eso mismo y voy a entrarle a acer eso tengo ese mismo problema con un yonke 2012 focus
Here in the Philippines many Ecosport owner was having a problem with ABS related DTC and mostly the diagnose is ABS module replacement. I do hope you could make a video about ABS issue or trouble shooting
Thanks for the videos dude, they helped a lot with diagnosing my car. I got my mechanic to drop the transmission and clean it out, then installed new clutch and shift forks, and finally reprogrammed the tcm. Drove fine every time after it got reprogrammed but if you shut off the car for 5-10 minutes it will lose reverse again. Looks like my next step is to replace TCM
I am facing the same issue. Did the tcm replace help? Is it having issues with R 2 4 6 gears?
@@abhishekpunj5 I haven't been able to find a TCM in stock yet, I went ahead and soldered the friction points inside the TCM but I don't think that worked. I'll have to take it out again and check again to make sure there are no bridges in the solder
Oh oki 🙁 were you getting a P287A error code?
@@comparecars_org Highly possible, I should look around for anything obvious
Had this same issue. The video really helped alot. Now the trans makes a scrape sound going into 3rd gear. Any idea of a fix?
Could be internal bearing. Drain the fluid and check for metal
@@L8R-HP wouldn't bearing make constant noise? This is more like a loud slap as I accelerate and four less loud slaps as I slow down. I thought it might be an actuator. Trans failure mess. came on other day and had no reverse and no slap sound. Drove later, reverse and slap were back. Replaced bottom actuator slap is back again.
Thanks for sharing. I have a question about if I only clean up the forks bearing and the old Clutch needs to be reset when install ? Or Just install the clutch without reset?
Clutch needs reset
I have a 2015 ford focus with a code P2872 and I have replaced Actuator B. I am going order the tools to remove and reset the transmission. My questions is, do I need the scan tool or can I fix everything without it? Also thank you again for all the great information. Your videos have been saving me money on my car for the most part.
As long as you clear codes, and everything is working properly it will re learn on its own
@@L8R-HP thank you
Do you have a video on how to remove & reinstall the transmission step by step? Also will I need a floor jack to remove the transmission myself?
Why did you replace actuator B for a DTC stating that Actuator A has a problem?
THAT'S LIKE SAYING MY HEADLAMP IS BURNED OUT, SO I'M GOING TO REPLACE MY TAIL LAMP BULB! WTF???? I FEEL CERTAIN THE TAIL LAMP BULB BEING REPLACED ISN'T GOING TO HELP THE BURNED OUT HEADLAMP BULB..
Maybe because I am learning and I replaced actuator B before I saw this video that this guy posted. Maybe you shouldn’t speak if you dont know or what’s going on. Thank you have a great one!
Hi Sir, may I know what scanner are you using in relearning transmission?
Great info video. Did or do you have one on aligning the clutches by any chance? Thank you.

Hello Brother, I am very grateful for your video that helped me to take out my transmission, replaced broken z washer that ford dealer calls cylinder and one of A fork . Unfortunately I created more issue when I did put everything back. I did use wrong screw between trans body and engine and I did punctured the freeze coolant liquid cap and causing all the coolant to leak.. I am not sure if any high temp sealer will help to seal this leak.. for those who will do this job in DIY, please take time to mark or number every screw where it belong and will save you half day to figure out where the screw belong. If you have any advice how to fix this punctured plug, please respond to me , please… thanks.
Hey I have a few questions regarding a transmission I bought from a junk yard that I work at. Could you tell me why the clutch won't manually turn by hand? Is that the clutch forks preventing that or a problem inside the transmission?
Probably rusted. Forks clutch and everything
@@L8R-HP I paid 50 bucks core value for it and planned on reinstalling a new clutch in it for a backup. Think it will serve that purpose? I bought the 2012 focus with 90k on it for a project and the trans for the core value cause I work at a junk yard. You think I did good ?
Hey! Awesome video! What do you torque the flywheel to clutch nuts to when reinstalling the transmission? Thanks!
I don’t use a torque wrench, I reuse the nuts, but you’re suppose to replace them.
Thanks amigo for helping all of us God B U 🙏
Clutch material used to be, may still be, asbestos so be extremely diligent not to work without a mask on the clutch cleaning. Asbestos is no joke and will cause cancer. Again not sure if clutches still have asbestos but I wouldn't chance it.
Believe I have the same problem with my 2012 focus. Sure wish u could help me out lol I’d pay ya and I also live in nc. Some mechanics in my area won’t even touch these transmissions and the dealer will charge me a small fortune. Mine is throwing a few different codes but they all relate to clutch a stuck engaged just like yours. I’ve tried actuator motor and no help
I’ve got codes p286f p07a3 and p2872
You can do it yourself. It’s not hard. Just order a few tools and sell them if you don’t need them
@@smithguy9109 I got the exact codes
Same here car is really a pice of crap no joke!!!!!! I’ve done nothing but keep up with this car and just keeps messing up on me I’m done with ford and teaching my kids don’t ever come home with a ford!
@@ELI-vm9yf I picked up a Honda Accord and have since driven it a few thousand miles and it runs excellent so far so good. I said screw that ford and it’s siting out by the road with a for sale sign on it lol. I had transmission problems 3 times with that car and it was driven by my wife so I’m sure 90% of the miles were spent driving like grandma lol. Those transmissions were a great idea but they just don’t work they break to often
Ford needs to watch this and do a service bulletin for all existing cars no need for removal can be done ever 10000 miles, remove actuator spray brake clean then wd40 done fixed.
That'd be too easy. lol... Gotta keep it complicated. They certainly don't want to admit clutch dust can cause some issues.
Wonder if they creeped in bad traffic every day... or used first gear to hang on the side of a hill all the time, waiting at lights, instead of using the brake pedal...
Seems like if we drilled, tapped, and installed an air jet fitting by each actuator/fork, then hook up to an air compressor, every few months at each, with a capped fitting for the dust to escape, opposite of each, on the case, we could keep it clear of all bulk dust, and probably the dust on everything else, if the fitting creates a blasting effect inside the case.....especially if connected while shifting gears up and down the range, on a rolling road...
thanks for the video, Ford has already changed the forks for me but I notice now that the shifter is loose and sometimes i cant remove the key, do you think that they miss something in the repairing?
Check your shift cable on top of transmission, and bracket
@@L8R-HP thank you

Hi Chris I have a 2016 Ford Focus SE. And I found your video when my car wouldn't shift right and the Dealer told me that my VIN # match.. so they wouldn't fix it.

Shift forks are sticking making the clutch slip and get hot
@@L8R-HP How could i go about fixing it though? He replaced the forks when he did my car. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for everything you do.
How would I get a shop to do this for me? and is there anything else I should have them fix/replace while they do it so I don't pay for them to just blow it out with air?
Just have them put all new parts in if they have the transmission out. That would be best
What is the maker of scanner you used?
Launch 431 mini. Can also use forscan
I bought my daughter a 2015 Ford Focus a couple years ago, the car has about 245,500 miles now. She just bought a house and the day after signing papers her Focus displayed "Transmission fault service now" also as she was driving "Transmission hot"? Wait 5 minutes before driving. Focus had DTC P07A2 P07A4 (if I remember right). No reverse and slipping in forward gears. Clutch forks retract quickly after turning 14 times.I bought Clutch and tools shown in your video, should be here Tuesday 4/15/23. What do you think ? Will I need clutch ? Thanks !
Clutch is probably ok, forks are sticking making clutch spin and get hot
@@L8R-HP thank you for your response, I'll post update after removing and cleaning clutch and shift forks.
@@L8R-HP Removed the transmission today and I made my daughter help ( so she could understand how trans works). The bearing was in pieces and the forks were gouged and damaged. Drained gear oil but only retrieved about 1/2 quart. Concerned that the low fluid level caused the bearing to fail or was it the 255,000 miles that caused the bearing failure. I checked the fluid for metal dust, but did not find any. I will be replacing clutch, bearing and forks. With low gear fluid level, do you think gears were able to pickup lubrication ?
@@paulpurdue5963 gears should be fine if no metal in fluid
@@L8R-HP After replacing clutch, forks and slave bearing the car drove good for over a week, then I get a call from my daughter that the car stalled while driving, after getting to the side of the highway, she was able to crank the car but no drive and no reverse. I did not reprogram the TCM after replacing mechanical parts, but I did buy a windows laptop and OBDLink MX+ and 1yr subscription to FORScan. Do you think the failure of drive and reverse are due to not programming ? No codes, rolls while in park...
Hey Chris, Where do I get a clutch for my 2016 Ford Focus SE. I Ordered one off of Amazon and it was 90* off for the line up my mechanic said??? Idk but could you please recommend a place to find a clutch?? Thank You.. Thxs. for doing this!!

Hey Chris, I'm still unfortunately dealing with my car 2016 Ford Focus SE. I have talked to you before on here. I have tried to email you and it said it's not the correct email anymore..So, I had my mechanic do what you did with the transmission in this video.. And It ran GREAT!!
Then it started overheating and my mechanic said it was the clutch...So after trying to find just a clutch which is almost impossible. So after searching and searching. I ordered a clutch from three different companies and all three of them were junk and not usable so I had to wait for them to refund my money. So I unfortunately had to buy a $700+ LUK KIT n now My mechanic said that he had it unlocking outside of the transmission but it won't unlock when it's in my car. He said he's done it several times.. PLEASE HELP.. I have been without a vehicle for a very, very long time to say the least it's basically ruining my entire life, no transportation at all..If I could just get a different car I would. I am upside down on my car it only has 85,000 hwy miles on it and was/is a very nice car.. I have also checked with Ford and all they say is my VIN # doesn't match to get it fixed. Yet, I have had EVERY SINGLE ISSUE THAT THE LAWSUITS ARE ABOUT😭.. Anyway,
If you can please please give me any information, suggestions etc. as to why that would happen or HOW TO FIX the new clutch not unlocking when in the car..
And of course now they will not refund my $$ through Parts Geek..My mechanic said when he got the kit he just replaced everything because everything was new.. So, If you could please, please respond n recommend anything I would absolutely be so GRATEFUL.Thank you So Much again..
I also was watching another video you have and you said that you have a lot of clutches laying around?? Idk maybe I could buy one if needed??? I am absolutely desperate at this point. Please respond.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have questions what diagnostic computer you recommend to me please for work on transmissions please
I use a launch 431 mini. Also can use Forscan
Stuck in rural WI. Replaced both actuators and no code but still doesn't sound right. Afraid to drive it. May try and put it in tow mode and attach to back of the motorhome to get it somewhere to get fixed. $500 so far. No one wants to work on it or won't for weeks out. The really bites. I'm from Florida.
What would be your thoughts on drilling a hole in the top and bottom to flush out and lube the actuators?
Good idea. Just make sure you plug the holes. You don’t want water in there
On min 22:20 which way were you turning the bolt to check the fork action?? Or what happens if you turn the bolt clockwise??
Counter clock wise
Where did you buy the launch scanner? I've found a bunch but also found out there a knockoff scam around them as well.
eBay back in 2019
Amazon has them also
Is it possible to just blow compressed air and brake clean thru the holes when the actuators are out to get some improvement? Honestly, I'm just being lazy, I've put far too much money into my 2015 Focus already and prepared to sell at a loss but it'd be a lot easier to do if I could get into some state of driveablity
Yes it can help

Thanks for the info....just a question once you take the clicth out don't u have to reset it before reinstall???? Thanks
Also if that is no oil/fluid in the trans will not start? Thanks again
Yes clutch needs to be reset before install.
Car will start if you don’t have transmission fluid in it, just don’t run it for long or drive it until you add transmission fluid
What happens if the clutch is not reset? Those tabs that hook during the first step snapped on my clutch pack. Thanks! @#L8R-HP
What's the best way to get the oil pan off? Being cast you can't go too heavy handed on it and its really stuck on with that gasket maker.
Keep tapping it with a rubber or brass hammer

Hi. You must have come across transmission overheating. How do you normally most of the time fix that?

@@L8R-HP does dirty/bad forks really trigger the overheating message on dash? Just asking to double check with you on your answer. Thks..pls reply
@@derkdevries328 yes. Clutch forks stick, making clutches slip and get hot. Also when they slip they create more dust and forks stick even more over time
Ok so I have a question. Are the A&B actuators clocked ? Say for instance you had a could for one and you replaced it. Not knowing the fork is stuck? Or can the actuator be installed anyway.
Actuator can be installed even if fork is bad. Need to try to turn the fork counter clockwise 14 times, it should go back on its own, if not fork is ether bad or stuck
Sorry even I had to put on a mask just watching lol...whooooo that was a Lotta dust

Thanks for the video.. i so wished u would have explained setting up clutch tool on vice.. do know what u did.. i just swapped a complete trans from another car with the matching clutch from that donor.. i did try swapping actuators so not sure if same actuator went back from either trans.. but it shifts hard like someone just popping clutch to early what are u thinking it could be?

If everything is working right it should adapt and shift properly.

@@turbogodstoys it would be too easy if I talked about every detail 😂
Hai.. Saya rahmat dari Indonesia.. Video yg sangat bermanfaat..tapi alangkah baiknya jika sudah dibongkar seperti itu lever clutch nya diservis /dibongkar untuk penggantian pelumas/Grease AS lever clutch nya.. Agar bertahan lebih lama..
Yes
I’m curious if instead of grease if silicone spray would work just as good. PB Blaster
Anything will work
Chris, any suggestions on what to do? He just got it running and he's now driving it to retrain there's no Reverse? Which never happened before. He went ahead and replaced the forks and bearings with the new Luk He's taken the transmission out so many time.. He's driving it now to let it relearn how to shift and now all the sudden there's no reverse.. 😢😢 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thank You.
what scan tool are you using. Just got new clutch forks and seals installed at my local ford dealer. 2800. Still loses reverse every now and than
I used a launch 431 mini. Can also use forscan
How can you tell if the forks are sticking or bad tcm when it doesn’t go into gear?
Scan for codes. That will tell you everything
I'm getting ready to do the same job and would like to know what scanner he's using to reset / learn the tcm when done. I will buy one, but the online descriptions are vague. I'm having trouble figuring out which ones are capable.
Launch 431
@@L8R-HP Thanks
@@L8R-HP I'm looking and finding lots of different versions of 431 ranging 320 - $1200. I don't do this for a living and am on a budget. Can you tell me the specific model ?
@@billtravis3373 mine is a older launch 431 mini. They all should do the job
@@L8R-HP Thanks
Know this is older, but what scanner are you using? Thanks.
Launch 431 mini. But you can also use forscan
Hello, what part of NC are you located? I have a 2013 Ford Focus with a sticking clutch and willing to tow my car to you for repair. Milton
Arden NC
How much time did it take you to do the whole thing from start to end ? 3 hours ?
2 hours
Hi. Where all that dust comes? Is from the clutch wear like the dust from brakes?
If so, powersifht need to be cleaned how often? Regards.
Clutch dust from normal wear. Need to clean it when it starts having issues. No need to worry if all is working right
@@L8R-HP Thank you teacher!
I may have messed mine up using WD-40 lithium type you think I may have plus I used brake parts cleaner . I'm sure I've broken B actuater
Just curious if you know why Ford says that the serial numbers on the fork springs have to match the forks? I snapped the bolt on the original spring so I used a different one from a junk yard trans (Same B fork and side) before I re-install the clutch and trans I would like to get a second opinion if this is a bad idea or not! Thanks!
I’ve done that before. Worked no problem
Thanks! I was hoping you would say that! Didn't want to have to buy a new fork kit!
what would you say the total time it took from start to finish?? estimated guess
2 hours. I’ve done 300+ of these
I have a 2013 focus. I'm getting a stuck open on actuator A. I spun them counter-clockwise 14xs, they both moved freely and I could feel them snap back. Would that indicate they are good and not stuck, making the probable cause the actuators or tcm..thanks i hope you answer.
Could be a few things. Actuators, TCM, or the bearing that pushes clutches broke inside
@@L8R-HP i just removed the transmission and found 2 small spings at the bottom of the bell housing, are there tiny springs in the fork assemblies?
Went too far back counter-clock wise when using the small reset tool. (Removed clutch actuator B, was trying to clean with brake clean and impact gun) Seen a small bearing pop out. I will have to replace the forks right?
Yes, that fork is broken :/
Damn 😔 guess it’s about that time to learn it. Appreciate you dropping these videos bro
Gonna do this soon to my Fiesta. Fork is seized up and broke. Car has 135,000 should I be swapping out a new clutch while I’m there or do you think the old clutch still works
Clutch is usually good. It’s best to replace everything while you’re in there
One other question.
. When you manually engage the shift forks 14 turns and then remove the special tool the forks snap back to the front.. the A fork is snapping back strong and loud however the B fork is snapping back but seems only about half the force of the A fork. Is that normal? Both fork were thoughly cleaned and re-lubricared, as well as the bell housing. I tried to watch and listen to various videos but I couldn't make out a definitive answer.
As long as they go back after 14 turns it’s ok. If they stop or sticking that’s gona slip the clutch
Hey man I got 2015 ford focus Se with 84 thousand never had any issues the other day I get in the car start it up go to put the car in reverse it won’t go into reverse, so check engine light comes on. I look up the check engine light it says actuator be replaced actuator be car still go with reverse still won’t go into reverse now the check engine light wouldn’t even shut off. Also even if I unplug the battery it wouldn’t reset it did twice then you get in the car for the first two times you put a reverse and drive to Elle going to drive or reverse the third time you put reverse ever throw the check engine light and then I’ll like slips like there’s no reverse and then sometimes it I’ll do it in drive then reverse.
Forks are sticking. Need to be cleaned or replaced
@@L8R-HP just wanted ask u couple questions that all if u dont mind. idk its super werid the code wont even clear sometimes it does. an dont .an itll go in reverse the first few times then dont
Question: Why is this transmission so dry? Where does the transmission fluid play a part in this? I was expecting the entire transmission to be wet, including all parts.
These transmissions are dry dual clutch. Basically a stick shift transmission but it’s being shifted by a computer. The fluid is only there to lube the gears
@@L8R-HP Thanks great video. If I had the knowledge and the tools to do this, I will not go to a dealer. I have my 2014 focus and the actuator motos is burnt . Code DTC P2872 perform ppt and found clutch actuator motor burn out. The repair cost with labor part and tax is 970.49. I have to pay because I do not know how to do it. Again, thanks for the video.
Did you take it to the dealership? and did it fix your problem?@@Assassin1959
