FordTechMakuloco hey I watch ur videos all the time I have a ? bout a 2006 lincoln navigator when I start my truck in the morning it smells like gas coming from the exhaust and it's a brief smell
@@opee33 NO! The "dry" clutch paks are separate from the transmission. The only time a fluid change is needed is when work is done on the transmission.
Why my 2016 ford focus has problem of transmission when i drive up at the hills, the car stars to shake when it shift from 1 st gear to 2nd. Any recommendation?
After watching this very informative information I decided to do this procedure since my 2015 Fiesta SE Sedan had 97,000 miles. As indicated many are told to believe that this fluid is a lifetime fill and is not to be done. What I discovered is when I called my Ford dealer to make sure they had the proper fluid it took the part guys a few minutes to look up and confirm the part number for this fluid as he has never sold it to anyone nor has it been done by anyone in their shop. I asked him to confirm his inventory and he came back to the phone and basically said holly cow he has a huge inventory of this on hand and was shocked to see that many bottles. He then told me the price and also seemed shocked himself at the price of $54 per quart. I said no wonder you have such a huge amount on hand nobody wants to spend that price to do the change. We negotiated down to $27 per quart and I bought 2 quarts. Upon removing the top plug even with the drivers' side raised a lot of fluid came out of the fill plug and then I lowered the vehicle down to normal ride height (holding it with the floor jack since the wheel is removed) and even more came out. I would say maybe a half quart in all. Then I drained the rest from the bottom plug. The oil did not smell bad but did have a darker look than the fresh oil. I filled the case with fresh oil and with the vehicle level as described above only got 1.6 quarts in. i stopped there, otherwise I would have had to raise the vehicle and over fill it to get 1.8 quarts in. Upon driving the vehicle after this change I noticed a significant improvement in the weird shifting noises that DSG transmission make. The noises never bothered me because I know what to expect and that they are normal. I have owned a VW Jetta with DSG so I am use to how they perform. Again less noises and better shifting is very noticeable.
Why can't ford just tell us how much fluid to put in this thing, instead of this baloney. where I live it's hard to find a level spot. Just seems ridiculous to me.
I agree on the reduced noise and shift quality improvement. Since changing the fluid a month ago, the transmission has been very different than it was before. I wish I had known that before I got to 100k miles - I would have changed it sooner.
Oh man!!! You have no idea how much your video has helped me!!! Thank you soooooo much! I truly appreciate your time and effort to make all your videos including this one! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a 2015, with 137000 miles on it. It drives good enough, but I can tell the transmission was never done before. My father is a retired mechanic, so everything that needs an oil change, is always on my radar. It's hard to believe how many people overlook this fact.
Buddy you are in for it. If I were you is take it back immediately. The DPS TCM powered transmission will never be fixed or need get redone enough to work. Worse yet ford mechanics and dealerships are aware of the problems and actively try and lie to you about how to even fix it. Some say they themselves dont know. Anyway please take it back. I'm watching this video to see if he does the reset procedure for the TCM. Because every single focus from 2012-16 needs a new one.
@@charwest5892 There is no way to take it back. It was bought "as is where is". This runs fine. I simply did an oil change to it. I do this regularly for all my vehicles. The cleaner the oil, the better cars run. This includes the transmission. I bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey, with a known transmission issue. I knew what the issue was immediately. I changed transmission fluid, and have put 40000 miles on it since with no issues.
Look up how to do a transmission reset on your ford super easy to do. Also your ground wire that extends out to the body of the car. Remove it and sand off the paint then reinstall. This helped me alot
I fixed my focus by putting new orings on the TCM. When western slope Ford did work they never put them back . I haven't thrown a code in about 3 weeks since I put the orings in .
I bought a 2014 w/140K miles on it. Needed a decent commuter for my son to get him another couple years, and decent affordable cars in this economy are very rare. Went into this car not knowing all the Focus issues. Couldn't imagine a Ford product could have so many KNOWN issues! I first fixed the KNOWN body ground issues which cleared up 3 engine/TCM codes. Now, I have to figure out what if anything can be done about the trans "shudder" that is intermittent. I used OP's suggested fix (5 full-on take-offs and acceleration cycles). This seemed to help for maybe a week? Shudder is back and now if I accelerate hard, there is a VERY hard "Thunk" when trans shifts from 1st to 2nd. Like hard enough you feel it through the car. So, for now I"m just taking it easy and is driving OK.
Another great video that was spot on 👍 I just did this in my wife's 2011 Fiesta with 92K on the clock. I used clear tubing inserted into a funnel to get the new fluid in. I just popped the hood and placed the funnel securely between the coil and battery while the tubing went straight down into the Transmission fill hole. I clamped the tubing to the sway bar and added about 1.7qts before it ran out (with the car leveled).
Thx for the video. I just attempted changing my transmission fluid for 2011 Ford Focus 2.0 duretec petrol at 70k. I jacked up my car and supported by jack stands. Using only a 8mm Hex Allen key and extension bar to loosen fill plug and drain plug from underneath the car. For filling, I found Nulon syntac 75w-85 transmission oil in innovative squeeze pouch with a hose attached. Very easy to use. Hope this helps to anyone attempting to change their own oil as Ford obviously doesn’t want ppl to do their own and charge you a premium.
Its not a fill plug - this is service plug where you check if fluid level is correct. The fill plug is on top of the transmission. You have to take out the air filter box. At least it is like that in my dual clutch 6 speed tranny in my Ford Kuga
well I'm about 158k over when I should have started changing it. Just been driving it, didn't realize that was a thing to do. I think my clutches have started to wear out. I finally got a transmission issue warning the other day, when I accelerate too hard, it sounds like its slipping a little bit. And yes, this is the original powershift trans, somehow I've gotten it to 218k miles.
If Im not mistaking, the fill port for the transmission fluid is actually on top of the transmission. the port that you are filling through is the inspection port. If you have this transmission, look on top of the transmission under the air box, there should be a small black cap inside of a small tube attached to the top of the transmission. you open the drain port to expel the fluid, then open the inspection port so you do not overfill the transmission. Whats great about these transmissions is the dry clutch, you don't have a torque converter that has to be drained and filled.
Any other questions? NOTE: Do not overfill the transaxle. This will cause transaxle fluid to be forced out of the case. 5. Using a suitable oil suction gun, fill the transaxle to the correct level with the specified fluid. Add transmission fluid until the oil runs out of the fill port in a continuous stream. The transaxle is full when the oil flow from the fill port has slowed to a broken stream or dripping.
Also with these Ford focus make sure to do a transmission reset. Super easy to do and also sand down where your negative wire cones out touches the body. This helped me
A bit of advice. I use a re-purposed 1 gal capacity garden sprayer to fill all my transmissions. It's super easy to use and you can very accurately control the amount of fluid to any trans or diff. Get a good quality one from your local garden supplier and it should last a very long time. I have several of them for use with different fluids. Give it a try. Once you have used one to fill a diff or tansmission, you'll never use anything else! Have Fun!
Sure, I haven't had any trouble with the thicker gear oils. Now I make sure they are at room temp before I use them. Obviously, if the gear oil is stone cold, it would be a bit more difficult.
Can you please tell me what is the size of the extension you use to drill the fluid because im confused. Some people says that is 3/8 and some other says that is 5/16. what is the exactly size for a 2012 ford focus?
thanks for the info. even though I have wrenched for over 30 years,I always learn something from your videos....a tech never stops learning....well a good one at least....
I'm glad I found this! I just bought a 2015 Focus and will be picking it up in a couple of days. The first thing I do to any car I buy is service the transmission and change to synthetic oil.
Changing from specific lubricant to whatever synthetic, especially in transmissions and gear boxes does usually more harm than good. Some trannies can only function properly on mineral base, or semisynthetic blend due to specific friction properties required for the synchros or wet clutches. Also viscosity and additive for newer manufacturers differs from one gear box to another.
@@pliedtka I'm sure he means service the transmission and change to synthetic engine oil. Which is always the correct choice, especially in cold climates.
what i do for my focus st and my 01 zx3 is bought x2 of the cheap funnels with the corrugated tubes you can get from any auto parts store, take the second tube off, trim the tapered end off and use some heat shrink to marry the tubes together, then from up top run the tubing down to the trans. Love the videos brother.
Changing ur fluid and having a strong battery and driving with a heavy foot until she shifts to a higher gear is essential in my opinion to good shift quality and not letting other people drive ur car.
I believe there is a vent plug that you can reach under the hood, pull that plug and you can get a funnel in there and fill from the top instead of that dumb check plug.
Can't you add fluid on the top thru the vent hose.. mine pulled straight out seems like that's best place to fill. Take plug out on side to let extra come out... Or is this not correct 🤔
Changing ur fluid and having a strong battery and driving with a heavy foot until she shifts to a higher gear is essential in my opinion to good shift quality and not letting other people drive ur car.
Thanks Mak, great job, good photography and well lit so we can see everything as you are doing it, and great explanations for everything, with a good pace, two thumbs up!
this is a good highway car. it's terrible in town in stop and go traffic.I don't see how mine is still in one piece as as much as it bucks and bangs when it tries to shift.
That is what I did. I used clear tubing attached to a funnel. I put the funnel in the engine bay next to the battery and used a spring clamp to hold the clear tubing inside the transmission. I could then slowly fill it until it started to run out ( about 1.6 quarts.)
Hello, first of all let me congratulate you on your channel on youtube, you're an excellent mechanic. I'm from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco Mexico, and it is almost impossible to find someone who is good repairing Ford F150, and your videos have helped me repair my Ford each that requires it. But today I found in a maze, I have problems in accelerating my Ford and fuel consumption, said the P0120 and P2004 code, change the TPS, three times in the last two months, and works well for a few days and then returns the fault, but the correction fuel consumption has not improved in any of these occasions. Before the last change of TPS I threw a new code P0220 and P0421, after changing the TPS only P0120 and P2004 marks sometimes. It's a 2004 Ford FX4, 3V Triton 5.4. 146,000 Kilometers I imagine you're busy, and I hope that when you get a chance I can support with this detail, thank you very much..
Just did this job yesterday on the wife's 2011 Fiesta, the ford manual says to have the transmission in the neutral position and to raise the vehicle on a hoist, so I'm guessing that's to maintain a level plane. Had exactly 4 ounces left out of the second bottle . Found this transmission fluid on Amazon for about 12 bucks plus tax per bottle.
Awesome video! Just did my 2015 Ford Focus. Big difference in driving. My car is at 155,000km the oil was black, the user manual says change at 160,000km. So that a bad idea. I’ll do it again in 60,000km as it easy to do. Thanks for the video!!
@@dr.daniel8816 I switch my car to just close to home, work car. I got 192,000 km now. It runs fine except the transmission control module went twice in the last 10,000 km, what was covered under warranty. It part of that class action law suit on these transmissions.
Also since I had it since new 2015, the duel clutch went 3 times so far. It a automatic but was all covered. It not made for slow traffic driving in city. That where my problems all start was getting stuck in traffic.
2017 Ford fiesta here, exactly what I needed. I went with Valvoline since it's half the price and the same thing, 70k and my fluid was pretty dark. Glad to have red back inside
Thanks! Going to do this to my 13 focus this summer at 50k. Had the clutch pack replaced (warranty) at 15k and it's acting up around 30k again so hopefully this will help...really disappointed that this situation is the way it is
Ford came out with a circular recommending 50% or more throttle on acceleration so the shifts are distinct and this eliminates chatter. Since changing our driving habits to a more aggressive approach to upshifting we have had no more clutch chattering and better performance.
Don ALLAN if it’s out of warranty reflash with a custom tune,it gets rid of fords “learning” of driver habits and gives it firm decisive shifts as if it’s under load. Toms tunes on focusfanatics website
@@NoName-tz5ji YES. This. Get rid of Ford's poor tuning. It's what wears these transmissions out. Trying to make it shift like a torque converter. Stupid!!
Jason Ashley I run it in sport mode unless I’m on the interstate,that helps a bit. I’m still in warranty so mines stock and I use the clutch scrubbing technique once in a while.
If the "acting up" is chatter/shudder, changing the fluid will have NO effect. If there is a problem with the SHIFTING, then it's probably the TCM. Have the dealer "re-flash" the pcm and see if it helps. One other possibility is a bad "ground" connection to the transmission case. The servo motors draw a LOT of juice, if the ground connection is poor, excessive voltage drop will occur which those servos DON'T like!
That's a satisfying fluid change for an "automatic" transmission, not much fluid and no pan to drop. This trans is all over the news, please make a video about all the complaints.
Very detailed and very helpful. It's 40 dollar for each quart now for the fluid, so inflated. By the way, do you know how to remove the acuators on this transmission? Mostly the "A" one.
Thank you for making this video available. Went to "quick lube" type place, they couldn't even find the fill plug, which makes me wonder if they even would then have had the knowledge to use the proper fluid? Love the car, hate the shudder (from starting off from a stop)
When it comes to these "specialized" transmissions, I would AVOID the "quick lube" outlets and take the vehicle to a REAL SHOP! Btw, changing the transmission fluid in THIS transmission will DO NOTHING for the "shudder"! Only changing the "clutch pak" will fix the problem! Expensive fix, SORRY!
As a follow up three years later. "Yes", a flat out hard shifting full throttle burst or two definitely cleaned things up. ended up doing my own fluid change and it was cheap and easy. Had a transmission module failure which stranded me (Just in my own driveway thankfully.) But Ford ponied up and replacement of the module (last year @100,000 miles and 7 yrs. old - 100% free!) As of today the transmission is operating "very well". My last drive (It's pretty much my daughter's now) it shifted/operated flawlessly. Time will tell.
I have a 2014 Focus with the DPS6 and I'm almost positive that the issue lies within the software. There's a popular tuner on the Focus Fanatics forums named Tom who has cured a lot of DPS6 issues. Mine shuddered even with the newest clutch, TCM, and calibration. After a few tunes adjustments no more shudder and shifts like a REAL DUAL CLUTCH. It's not a slush box like everyone expects it to be.
I have a 2012 Focus and would be very interested in this tune you are talking about. How can I get in touch with this guy Tom tat you are talking about? I would like to learn more about this. Thanks so much for your help.
It is NOT an automatic, it's a MANUAL transmission shifted automatically! I wish people would understand that it is a "performance" transmission and will NEVER be as "buttery smooth" as a TRUE automatic with fluid coupling! Can't be done, folks. You can complain to the dealer until the "cows come home"!
When I changed my fluid I left the drivers side jacked up & not leveled. When I pulled the full plug I lost about half a quart. I’m assuming they come over filled from the factory?? I’m thinking about finding the vent hole on the top and adding a little bit… might be better to disperse heat?
Great video. Thanks. I`ve wanted to get mine changed but seen warnings that it`s not a good idea and even that the gearbox can be damaged by changing???! I wonder if you have any ideas about also adding 5% ZX1 with the new oil? Thanks again.
The fill plug is on top of the trans near the air box. It's very hard to see. The plug he is referencing is the oil level plug, not the fill. So fill from the top until it comes out the oil level plug. Don't forget to put the drain plug back in.
You can't lol , it take 1 .8 quarts the 2nd quarts should have .2 remaining when adding i would jack up the car on the driver side to add as much as I can if its short its going to slipp on first going up hill
14,200 miles on my 2017. Car is still like new and I am original owner but now that 5 years is passing I am starting to think about some maintenance I could do beyond an oil changes.
I used a oil bottle with a hand pump from some hand cleaner and just hand pumped the fluid into it with clear tubing made it eariler got me rather then the funnel
I just got a ford focus and in first and second gear it shakes and shudders then drives fine. I’m going to change the transmission fluid to see if that helps but what should I do?
If there is metal in my 2016 focus trans fluid, will changing the fluid help? Ford dealer says I need a new clutch for the 2nd time in a year, they said the old one is melted. When I watch other videos one said ford told him it was the clutch but it was the tcm. Any thoughts
Hi, I have 2016 Ford fiesta s model but 8mm is not fitting in all the way to remove the fill plug and it's pretty tight can you give me an suggestion to how can I remove this and why 8mm is not going in all way inside that bolt, please help me thank you
GrassFedMeats it only has 117k I got it from the original owner that maintenance it well I paid 4600 for it I got a really good deal on it for being a 2015 there’s no problems with it now but I rarely even drive places I would put 700 miles a year on my 2010 focus I had I made a video of the 2015 focus I got on my channel
@GrassFedMeats Bought a 2013 Focus SE with 56K miles (April '18). The clutch had some judder when starting from stand still. Had dealer replace clutch pak BEFORE I bought the car. I now have 68K miles with just the SLIGHTEST amount of judder at times, doesn't bother me because I have sticks most of my life. I LOVE the way the car accelerates under full throttle, lightning fast with a slight 'bump" during shifts. I still would rather have the "manual" version (the BOSS can't drive a stick)!
I changed the transmission oil on my 2012 ford focus and now it still shudders but also has a squeaking sound upon initial 1st gear. Once second gear comes on everything is normal. Does this shuddering and squeak go away with time or is there something else going on?
I'm a Focus 2012 owner, not a mechanic. The car is fun to drive and the gas mileage is great. I bought it used with 75k on it. The shifting from a standing start is a problem but not all the time. As someone here said, giving it more gas helps it shift smoother. I hesitate to bring it to the dealer because I don't know if they can actually improve it. The info from the comments here is confusing. Some say change the fluid, some say do not. Some said it helps the shifting some said it does not. What should a good shop charge for this service? What would Ford charge?
For anyone that comes across this, a fluid change will not help you. If this is happening to you, your clutch is poorly engaging and needs swapped. However, you can put up with the shuddering and just drive it harder to avoid it as bad. The shifting mechanism on this transmission is COMPLETELY DRY. NO FLUID IS INVOLVED.
i drained mine for the first time in 52k and it came out dark red with some clarity. idk how it turned red when dps6 oil is amber; did ford cheap out and put dextron in there?
Hey FordTechMakuloco, great informative video! Looking at the car from the front, is the oil pan BEFORE the trans or AFTER it? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi, i have a question, why when you change the transmission fluid, the car has to be really even? because when i changed mine at the time to fill it out it was leaking a lot, so i didn't know why, if you can help me on how to do it better please? Thank you
Great video. Can you please tell me what is the size of the extension you use to drill the fluid because im confused. Some people says that is 3/8 and some other says that is 5/16. what is the exactly size for a 2012 ford focus?
Nice to know. I will be changing my tranny fluid soon, was all set with the 8mm hex and T50 torx. Didn't make sense why the factory would not use the SAME type plug for both locations!
Local shop replaced clutch. I just changed fluid and got over 2qt out. I could only get 1.6 back in. Is this normal? Also found they removed breather tube to fill and never replaced. Is this okay? Should I flush? Can you fill via the breather?
@@sohipnation I have changed my fluid several times now. Not saying it’s right but I drain and then fill back through the breather. I then remove the fill bolt to drain any excess. Make sure your car is level. I haven’t had trouble since. I replace my fluid this time of year as old fluid thins and will leak more into the clutch. New fluid is thicker. Once winter hits, the fluid doesn’t thin as much. Harder to change too
So there isn't anyway to add more from the top like a normal car that has a dipstick? I'm getting an error on my screen in my car of course saying I have a "transmission error". I'm starting to hate this car.
I got this done on my 2015 focus but for some reason after 1.6 quarts it was full. Can any one tell me why it only took 1.6 instead of 1.9 quarts? It also drain about that same amount, 1.6
very good video. I have a 2016 Focus 1.0L with the 6F15 transmission that is making some whining noises. I wanted to check the fluid level. I assume the drain plug is in the same location?
Good day First of all I like to thank you for your videos. It helps people like me who know nothing about cars. I was told that I can fill ATF through the breather of a 2016 1.0l ecoboost auto. I would like to know if this is true Thank you
I have a 2014 Ford Focus with 128,00 miles and I have never changed the transmission oil. Will I see any changes and smoothness of shifting if I change it? Btw, the link to the oil doesn't work
There's a trans Breather tube in a little grommet, (fully easily removable) directly Up from the fill plug? Can u fill thru that? Right beside the battery, a funnel fits perfect up and down there. But is it harmful to fill that way?
Hello, is it okay to refill the transmission fluid through the vent pipe/hole? Since I do not have enough tools to put the fluid on the fill plug? I will get more tools in the future so that I can properly fill it on the fill plug but for now can I do it on the vent hole? Thank you for your answer
I have a question..I watched a few videos but nobody says nothing about filter or there's not filter to be changed and this transmission..mine is 2012 ford focus..
My 2011 fiesta mk7 and the steering control is so stiff, so I got me a replacement electronic steering column, and still doesn't work🧐 please help or advice
what was the price tag on it. and it wont hurt to change it just in case as most people and some shops are unaware of the transmission fluid even existing
what has your experience been with the fiestas transmission recall problems? have you seen many failing transmissions? Why do articles i read say the transmission is a "dry clutch" instead of a wet clutch? Is really an issue of bad design engineering? or is it more from customer abuse?
It's a couple things. Not enough engineering and bad transmission software from Ford. Driving it harder in the first couple gears will clear up most of the clutch shudder.

Another great video that was spot on 👍 I just did this in my wife's 2011 Fiesta with 92K on the clock. I used clear tubing inserted into a funnel to get the new fluid in. I just popped the hood and placed the funnel securely between the coil and battery while the tubing went straight down into the Transmission fill hole. I clamped the tubing to the sway bar and added about 1.7qts before it ran out (with the car leveled).
Thx for the video. I just attempted changing my transmission fluid for 2011 Ford Focus 2.0 duretec petrol at 70k. I jacked up my car and supported by jack stands. Using only a 8mm Hex Allen key and extension bar to loosen fill plug and drain plug from underneath the car. For filling, I found Nulon syntac 75w-85 transmission oil in innovative squeeze pouch with a hose attached. Very easy to use. Hope this helps to anyone attempting to change their own oil as Ford obviously doesn’t want ppl to do their own and charge you a premium.
The design engineer for this plug should be taken out behind the barn.
Or given a raise depending on how you think about it
Its not a fill plug - this is service plug where you check if fluid level is correct. The fill plug is on top of the transmission. You have to take out the air filter box.
At least it is like that in my dual clutch 6 speed tranny in my Ford Kuga
@@marcinmorris you are correct. Same with my ford focus.
@@marcinmorris Thanks, i was crazy trying to find where is it?
Marcin Wojciechowski so you mean this Guy is erroneously doing it? Haha
well I'm about 158k over when I should have started changing it. Just been driving it, didn't realize that was a thing to do. I think my clutches have started to wear out. I finally got a transmission issue warning the other day, when I accelerate too hard, it sounds like its slipping a little bit. And yes, this is the original powershift trans, somehow I've gotten it to 218k miles.
If Im not mistaking, the fill port for the transmission fluid is actually on top of the transmission. the port that you are filling through is the inspection port. If you have this transmission, look on top of the transmission under the air box, there should be a small black cap inside of a small tube attached to the top of the transmission. you open the drain port to expel the fluid, then open the inspection port so you do not overfill the transmission. Whats great about these transmissions is the dry clutch, you don't have a torque converter that has to be drained and filled.
Any other questions? NOTE: Do not overfill the transaxle. This will cause transaxle fluid to be forced out of the case.
5. Using a suitable oil suction gun, fill the transaxle to the correct level with the specified fluid. Add transmission fluid until the oil runs out of the fill port in a continuous stream. The transaxle is full when the oil flow from the fill port has slowed to a broken stream or dripping.
Also with these Ford focus make sure to do a transmission reset. Super easy to do and also sand down where your negative wire cones out touches the body. This helped me
Love the color of the old fluid!
I use those same funnels with 3/8" tubing from Home Depot
A bit of advice. I use a re-purposed 1 gal capacity garden sprayer to fill all my transmissions. It's super easy to use and you can very accurately control the amount of fluid to any trans or diff. Get a good quality one from your local garden supplier and it should last a very long time. I have several of them for use with different fluids. Give it a try. Once you have used one to fill a diff or tansmission, you'll never use anything else! Have Fun!
They work okay with the thicker differential gear oils? I hate those hand pumps.
Sure, I haven't had any trouble with the thicker gear oils. Now I make sure they are at room temp before I use them. Obviously, if the gear oil is stone cold, it would be a bit more difficult.
Can you please tell me what is the size of the extension you use to drill the fluid because im confused. Some people says that is 3/8 and some other says that is 5/16. what is the exactly size for a 2012 ford focus?
In this case, using a long funnel ($1@ "Dollar Tree) and filling through the "breather tube inlet" is a LOT easier AND WAY cheaper, IMHO!
thanks for the info. even though I have wrenched for over 30 years,I always learn something from your videos....a tech never stops learning....well a good one at least....
I'm glad I found this! I just bought a 2015 Focus and will be picking it up in a couple of days. The first thing I do to any car I buy is service the transmission and change to synthetic oil.
Changing from specific lubricant to whatever synthetic, especially in transmissions and gear boxes does usually more harm than good. Some trannies can only function properly on mineral base, or semisynthetic blend due to specific friction properties required for the synchros or wet clutches. Also viscosity and additive for newer manufacturers differs from one gear box to another.
@@pliedtka I'm sure he means service the transmission and change to synthetic engine oil. Which is always the correct choice, especially in cold climates.
what i do for my focus st and my 01 zx3 is bought x2 of the cheap funnels with the corrugated tubes you can get from any auto parts store, take the second tube off, trim the tapered end off and use some heat shrink to marry the tubes together, then from up top run the tubing down to the trans. Love the videos brother.
im glad you actually say "foot pounds" like you know how torque is actually measured, bravo!
Bro you're a lifesaver. They designed the location for the fill plug so funky.
Changing ur fluid and having a strong battery and driving with a heavy foot until she shifts to a higher gear is essential in my opinion to good shift quality and not letting other people drive ur car.
I believe there is a vent plug that you can reach under the hood, pull that plug and you can get a funnel in there and fill from the top instead of that dumb check plug.
Wow you linked to everything we need! That's so awesome!
Pretty well put together vid, the explanation , tools, fluid quantity are on spot!
Can't you add fluid on the top thru the vent hose.. mine pulled straight out seems like that's best place to fill. Take plug out on side to let extra come out...
Or is this not correct 🤔
Changing ur fluid and having a strong battery and driving with a heavy foot until she shifts to a higher gear is essential in my opinion to good shift quality and not letting other people drive ur car.
that makes sense, about strong , clean battery contacts .. is esential
Thanks Mak, great job, good photography and well lit so we can see everything as you are doing it, and great explanations for everything, with a good pace, two thumbs up!
Good job! I had an H of a time getting the fill plug off, it was really tight. Made sure I did that first.
this is a good highway car. it's terrible in town in stop and go traffic.I don't see how mine is still in one piece as as much as it bucks and bangs when it tries to shift.
john c mine too, friend. I keep wondering if mine is exceptionally BAD or just the average BAD... Either way, it certainly isn't good.
Agreed. We have a 2012 as a fleet car. 180K miles and it's 99% a highway car. It sucks in stop and go or in town, worst auto trans I've ever driven.
Cause the transmission is horrible my ford focus on the freeway is amazing. However, stop and go is terrible a lot of shuttering and slipping gears.
Thank you very much for posting all of these videos. You have saved me boatloads of money.
Now 2021 and $32 a Quart. Thanks for the Video
Thanks again, your videos are always on point, this helps me a lot.
For more convenent filling is to use a clear tube that is just a little bit smaller than the fill opening.
That is what I did. I used clear tubing attached to a funnel. I put the funnel in the engine bay next to the battery and used a spring clamp to hold the clear tubing inside the transmission. I could then slowly fill it until it started to run out ( about 1.6 quarts.)
What size clear tubing? 3/4, 1/2, or something else?
It's a beautiful designed transmission if you understand it and change the fluid.
Hello, first of all let me congratulate you on your channel on youtube, you're an excellent mechanic. I'm from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco Mexico, and it is almost impossible to find someone who is good repairing Ford F150, and your videos have helped me repair my Ford each that requires it. But today I found in a maze, I have problems in accelerating my Ford and fuel consumption, said the P0120 and P2004 code, change the TPS, three times in the last two months, and works well for a few days and then returns the fault, but the correction fuel consumption has not improved in any of these occasions. Before the last change of TPS I threw a new code P0220 and P0421, after changing the TPS only P0120 and P2004 marks sometimes. It's a 2004 Ford FX4, 3V Triton 5.4. 146,000 Kilometers I imagine you're busy, and I hope that when you get a chance I can support with this detail, thank you very much..
Just did this job yesterday on the wife's 2011 Fiesta, the ford manual says to have the transmission in the neutral position and to raise the vehicle on a hoist, so I'm guessing that's to maintain a level plane. Had exactly 4 ounces left out of the second bottle .
Found this transmission fluid on Amazon for about 12 bucks plus tax per bottle.
Awesome video! Just did my 2015 Ford Focus. Big difference in driving.
My car is at 155,000km the oil was black, the user manual says change at 160,000km. So that a bad idea.
I’ll do it again in 60,000km as it easy to do.
Thanks for the video!!
hey how did trans last? been 2yrs? i got 165000 so expecting black gunk
@@dr.daniel8816 I switch my car to just close to home, work car. I got 192,000 km now. It runs fine except the transmission control module went twice in the last 10,000 km, what was covered under warranty.
It part of that class action law suit on these transmissions.
Also since I had it since new 2015, the duel clutch went 3 times so far. It a automatic but was all covered. It not made for slow traffic driving in city. That where my problems all start was getting stuck in traffic.
2017 Ford fiesta here, exactly what I needed. I went with Valvoline since it's half the price and the same thing, 70k and my fluid was pretty dark. Glad to have red back inside
Thanks! Going to do this to my 13 focus this summer at 50k. Had the clutch pack replaced (warranty) at 15k and it's acting up around 30k again so hopefully this will help...really disappointed that this situation is the way it is
Ford came out with a circular recommending 50% or more throttle on acceleration so the shifts are distinct and this eliminates chatter. Since changing our driving habits to a more aggressive approach to upshifting we have had no more clutch chattering and better performance.
Don ALLAN if it’s out of warranty reflash with a custom tune,it gets rid of fords “learning” of driver habits and gives it firm decisive shifts as if it’s under load. Toms tunes on focusfanatics website
@@NoName-tz5ji YES. This. Get rid of Ford's poor tuning. It's what wears these transmissions out. Trying to make it shift like a torque converter. Stupid!!
Jason Ashley I run it in sport mode unless I’m on the interstate,that helps a bit. I’m still in warranty so mines stock and I use the clutch scrubbing technique once in a while.
If the "acting up" is chatter/shudder, changing the fluid will have NO effect. If there is a problem with the SHIFTING, then it's probably the TCM. Have the dealer "re-flash" the pcm and see if it helps. One other possibility is a bad "ground" connection to the transmission case. The servo motors draw a LOT of juice, if the ground connection is poor, excessive voltage drop will occur which those servos DON'T like!
If the clutches of the transmission have some problem like a vibration, can I change the transmission fluid?
That's a satisfying fluid change for an "automatic" transmission, not much fluid and no pan to drop. This trans is all over the news, please make a video about all the complaints.
Also add the Hyundai DCT problems involving class action lawsuits for the SAME problems, BUT different transmissions!
Very detailed and very helpful. It's 40 dollar for each quart now for the fluid, so inflated.
By the way, do you know how to remove the acuators on this transmission? Mostly the "A" one.
I use a modified weed killer pump sprayer to fill these odd fill locations. Eliminates a lot of mess and wasted fluid.
After changing the fluid on my 2013 focus, it shifted much better. I don't understand why ford says the fluid does not need to be changed.
For the same reason that Ford says you can go up to 10K miles for engine oil change!
Thank you for making this video available. Went to "quick lube" type place, they couldn't even find the fill plug, which makes me wonder if they even would then have had the knowledge to use the proper fluid? Love the car, hate the shudder (from starting off from a stop)
You gotta drive these things fast and make it shift hard a few times to clean off the clutches.. shudder most of the time will go away
@@bartfox9187 EXACTLY! DON'T creep in traffic AND ABOVE ALL, DON'T USE THESE TRANSMISSIONS AS "HILL HOLDERS"!!!!!
When it comes to these "specialized" transmissions, I would AVOID the "quick lube" outlets and take the vehicle to a REAL SHOP! Btw, changing the transmission fluid in THIS transmission will DO NOTHING for the "shudder"! Only changing the "clutch pak" will fix the problem! Expensive fix, SORRY!
Your "problem" is NOT bad fluid. It's the "clutch paks"!
As a follow up three years later. "Yes", a flat out hard shifting full throttle burst or two definitely cleaned things up. ended up doing my own fluid change and it was cheap and easy. Had a transmission module failure which stranded me (Just in my own driveway thankfully.) But Ford ponied up and replacement of the module (last year @100,000 miles and 7 yrs. old - 100% free!) As of today the transmission is operating "very well". My last drive (It's pretty much my daughter's now) it shifted/operated flawlessly. Time will tell.
You're vids are truly great man!
this is the most descriptive and helpful video i have found on the subject. thanks tons man. really needed this one.
Good video it helped but both the fill plug and drain plug are both t50 learned the the hard way lol listening to you
I have a 2014 Focus with the DPS6 and I'm almost positive that the issue lies within the software. There's a popular tuner on the Focus Fanatics forums named Tom who has cured a lot of DPS6 issues. Mine shuddered even with the newest clutch, TCM, and calibration. After a few tunes adjustments no more shudder and shifts like a REAL DUAL CLUTCH. It's not a slush box like everyone expects it to be.
Glad to hear Tom's tune did the job for you. I have his base tune. We are trying to work out a lean condition at idle. Suspected to be the 02 sensor.
I have a 2012 Focus and would be very interested in this tune you are talking about. How can I get in touch with this guy Tom tat you are talking about? I would like to learn more about this. Thanks so much for your help.
@@carguy5763 Google Focus Power Tuning or make an account on the Focus Fanatics forums.
It is NOT an automatic, it's a MANUAL transmission shifted automatically! I wish people would understand that it is a "performance" transmission and will NEVER be as "buttery smooth" as a TRUE automatic with fluid coupling! Can't be done, folks. You can complain to the dealer until the "cows come home"!
@@TheOzthewiz true, and people have to drive them differently, if they want theirs to last.
When I changed my fluid I left the drivers side jacked up & not leveled. When I pulled the full plug I lost about half a quart. I’m assuming they come over filled from the factory?? I’m thinking about finding the vent hole on the top and adding a little bit… might be better to disperse heat?
Great video. Thanks. I`ve wanted to get mine changed but seen warnings that it`s not a good idea and even that the gearbox can be damaged by changing???! I wonder if you have any ideas about also adding 5% ZX1 with the new oil? Thanks again.
Such a great video thank you so much. My transmission is overheating I guess it needs transmission fluid.
What about the reservoir up under the hood though? Do you need to fill that up at all? I’m confused. Also, is there a filter to change?
That is break fluid and not for the transmission
The fill plug is on top of the trans near the air box. It's very hard to see. The plug he is referencing is the oil level plug, not the fill. So fill from the top until it comes out the oil level plug. Don't forget to put the drain plug back in.
Exactly, just make sure the car is LEVEL!
Can you describe briefly how to locate it? Thanks
That's what I thought .. it has a vent tube hooked to it
how do you can check the level oil transmission for ford focus 2013, thank up
You can't lol , it take 1 .8 quarts the 2nd quarts should have .2 remaining when adding i would jack up the car on the driver side to add as much as I can if its short its going to slipp on first going up hill
14,200 miles on my 2017. Car is still like new and I am original owner but now that 5 years is passing I am starting to think about some maintenance I could do beyond an oil changes.
I've been told that I need 7 litres of transmission oil and a filter for my 2013 Tdci powershift but I didn't see you puting a filter on that one
Can you fill it up on top of vent transmission by the battery? I saw this other video that filled up their transmission that way.
I used a oil bottle with a hand pump from some hand cleaner and just hand pumped the fluid into it with clear tubing made it eariler got me rather then the funnel
Isn't there a trans oil filter that has to be changed also? and where on the car is that located?
I just got a ford focus and in first and second gear it shakes and shudders then drives fine. I’m going to change the transmission fluid to see if that helps but what should I do?
I haven't done it yet but I hope this is the same thing as works on the 2018
If there is metal in my 2016 focus trans fluid, will changing the fluid help? Ford dealer says I need a new clutch for the 2nd time in a year, they said the old one is melted. When I watch other videos one said ford told him it was the clutch but it was the tcm. Any thoughts
Hi, I have 2016 Ford fiesta s model but 8mm is not fitting in all the way to remove the fill plug and it's pretty tight can you give me an suggestion to how can I remove this and why 8mm is not going in all way inside that bolt, please help me thank you
I'm confused. The fill plug and drain plug use the same allen wrench. I tried the torx 50 and it fit, but it still should be an allen wrench.
The only way i would own a fiesta is with a manual transmission.
papawoody exactly
I got a 2015 focus with the dual clutch automatic transmission an I like it
GrassFedMeats it only has 117k I got it from the original owner that maintenance it well I paid 4600 for it I got a really good deal on it for being a 2015 there’s no problems with it now but I rarely even drive places I would put 700 miles a year on my 2010 focus I had I made a video of the 2015 focus I got on my channel
@GrassFedMeats Bought a 2013 Focus SE with 56K miles (April '18). The clutch had some judder when starting from stand still. Had dealer replace clutch pak BEFORE I bought the car. I now have 68K miles with just the SLIGHTEST amount of judder at times, doesn't bother me because I have sticks most of my life. I LOVE the way the car accelerates under full throttle, lightning fast with a slight 'bump" during shifts. I still would rather have the "manual" version (the BOSS can't drive a stick)!
Too late for me lol.
I changed the transmission oil on my 2012 ford focus and now it still shudders but also has a squeaking sound upon initial 1st gear. Once second gear comes on everything is normal. Does this shuddering and squeak go away with time or is there something else going on?
Not sure about the "shuddering", but that squeak, sounds like you have a RODENT infestation, try DECON!
Evap purge valve
I'm a Focus 2012 owner, not a mechanic. The car is fun to drive and the gas mileage is great. I bought it used with 75k on it. The shifting from a standing start is a problem but not all the time. As someone here said, giving it more gas helps it shift smoother. I hesitate to bring it to the dealer because I don't know if they can actually improve it.
The info from the comments here is confusing. Some say change the fluid, some say do not. Some said it helps the shifting some said it does not. What should a good shop charge for this service? What would Ford charge?
Good questions one shop tried to charge 350$ But I havnt asked Ford because I’ve read we’re not in the grace period anymore it could be the gas valve
For anyone that comes across this, a fluid change will not help you. If this is happening to you, your clutch is poorly engaging and needs swapped. However, you can put up with the shuddering and just drive it harder to avoid it as bad.
The shifting mechanism on this transmission is COMPLETELY DRY. NO FLUID IS INVOLVED.
i drained mine for the first time in 52k and it came out dark red with some clarity. idk how it turned red when dps6 oil is amber; did ford cheap out and put dextron in there?
Thanks I was wondering if it had to be a certain temperature
I don't have access to motorcraft products where I live, Any advice on if Valvoline dct fluid is good for this transmission?
Hey FordTechMakuloco, great informative video! Looking at the car from the front, is the oil pan BEFORE the trans or AFTER it? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi .is nesesary to put 2 quarter oil to the transmision? Ford focus sel 2.0 2012
Hi, i have a question, why when you change the transmission fluid, the car has to be really even? because when i changed mine at the time to fill it out it was leaking a lot, so i didn't know why, if you can help me on how to do it better please? Thank you
Thanks man I haven’t changed fluid yet n two years it’s started whining so Ig I have to change it
Great video. Can you please tell me what is the size of the extension you use to drill the fluid because im confused. Some people says that is 3/8 and some other says that is 5/16. what is the exactly size for a 2012 ford focus?
You said the drain plug is a T50 Torx, it is not, it is an 8mm Hex. Both plugs are 8mm hex.
Nice to know. I will be changing my tranny fluid soon, was all set with the 8mm hex and T50 torx. Didn't make sense why the factory would not use the SAME type plug for both locations!
If no tq wrench is this right in general, snug then gasket type 2/3 turn, taper type1/8 turn.
I just did this procedure on a 2016 Ford Focus and the filler was on the top of the transaxle.
You mean the gearBox Tube Breather is the exact fill plug?
@@Mark-hp5nk YES!

2018 ford focus se kept on pushing the fluid back through the dipstick how can I fix this
The fluid now in 2022 is up to $60 a Quart
Local shop replaced clutch. I just changed fluid and got over 2qt out. I could only get 1.6 back in. Is this normal? Also found they removed breather tube to fill and never replaced. Is this okay? Should I flush? Can you fill via the breather?
What ended up happening ewillett?
@@sohipnation I have changed my fluid several times now. Not saying it’s right but I drain and then fill back through the breather. I then remove the fill bolt to drain any excess. Make sure your car is level. I haven’t had trouble since. I replace my fluid this time of year as old fluid thins and will leak more into the clutch. New fluid is thicker. Once winter hits, the fluid doesn’t thin as much. Harder to change too
@@ewillett07 thank you for your detailed reply!
@@ewillett07 I am going to attempt to change my transmission fluid too as I believe it's never been done before on my car
so 2017 ford focus se would be the same processes right? by that i mean same transmission you named above
So there isn't anyway to add more from the top like a normal car that has a dipstick? I'm getting an error on my screen in my car of course saying I have a "transmission error". I'm starting to hate this car.
Brian, why doesn't the manual transmission Fiesta (with the 5-speed) have a fill plug but not a drain plug like on the automatic transmission?
I have a question does Valvoline DCT transmission fluid works on the Ford focus even thoe it shares the same specs from the motor craft 2CM936A
They couldn’t have put this in a worse place if they tried to get the fill plug out and then mine is stripped out on me and I can’t get it out

what has your experience been with the fiestas transmission recall problems? have you seen many failing transmissions? Why do articles i read say the transmission is a "dry clutch" instead of a wet clutch? Is really an issue of bad design engineering? or is it more from customer abuse?
It's a couple things. Not enough engineering and bad transmission software from Ford. Driving it harder in the first couple gears will clear up most of the clutch shudder.
