    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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...

    Has anyone considered drilling a few holes to just blow it out without the hassle of removing everything?
    I imagine holes in a few key locations around the forks & at the bottom would allow for someone to spray cleaner and air in, along with actuating the forks, to get the thing working really well again.
    Plug the holes up and then do it every 25 or 50k miles or something until the clutch is actually bad.
    Could even use a borescope to check your work. They're cheap enough these days.

    When instantly driving i have a scraping sound from something that is rotating and once it fully rotated the sound gets slightly louder and by the sound of it it must be something lager than a baring or gears the sound it produces reminds me of a steam engine and that sound disappears while driving and switching into neutral I'm wondering if it could be the flywheel or clutch doing the sound thank you for any information

    Anyone who does this job should replace the clutch and forks. I followed this and even though the clutch fork was unstuck, I dont think it worked well enough for it to engage the clutch completely. Plus you could be like me and have the clutch be too broken to reset and have to wait for all of these parts. It's a big job and you don't want to have to redo it. Just buy everything new so you don't have to give it two or three tries to work like I did.

    . 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.
