- I couldn't find anything online to show me how to do this so I had to figure it out myself. This seal fits a variety of Fords, so I reckon it will be a similar procedure for a Focus or C Max. This was done on a 2013 Ford Fiesta

Thank you. This is the only source of helpful information I've been able to find on this fix.
The plug to refill is an 8mm Allen plug just above the selector shaft. Fill until it just seeps out.
mine fucking sheered
Thank you. I am about to do this job and I was taking once last glance at the Internet, just in case I missed some info. I too had only seen the one other video that doesn't show the important part. I was hoping the 16mm socket was going to work but I guess I'll go buy a new wrench. The actual repair manual says something about putting adhesive tape around selector shaft to avoid damage to seal when installing. And then warns not to leave any tape. I have a better understanding of what/where the repair manual meant.
Super instrukcja :) Dziękuję.
I have the 2013 Ford Fiesta SE hatchback. Hello I have this very same issue mine is very small no pun intended lol I was just going to ask you if you can demonstrate from very start to finish on how to locate the rear main oil sealant like I said my rear main oil leak is so small that I can't even see any oil dripping down at all. I also use Blue devil to slow down the leak and I believe this Blue Devil works very well with slow and small leaks. Thanks.
Make more videos man...

Hi, I’m currently doing this job on my car. I’m at the point of taking that the last bit off the shaft. Mine is also corroded on! I’m hammering on it pretty hard but a bit paranoid about breaking something. The shaft does move in and out. It’s in neutral. Did you have it in neutral? I’m paranoid that the shaft will come out and looked everywhere to find a diagram as to how that shaft is connected or retained in the gearbox. Any advise from anyone would be very appreciated. I’m glad you did this video as it’s the best one on the CZcams’s!
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave. I’m pretty sure it was in neutral. Been a while since I worked on cars, but from memory brute force is the answer. I’d already loosened it and put it back on to video how it was done. I remember much swearing.
@@carsfortheclueless8101 thanks mate, I will give it another go with a bigger hammer 🥴 maybe get some heat on it. Thanks for replying 👍
Are you sure the oil is not just going inside the bell housing filling through the reversing light switch? Fill plug is the 8mm hex plug the other side of the casing joint 😬
Yes, I’m sure. It still drains out just the same once filled. I know this because I had to fit a genuine Ford seal after the eBay special leaked. ( The one from the Ford dealer was actually cheaper ).
Hi there, thanks for the vid ... do you know if there are any other seals around that area that could leak? Ours seems to be leaking from higher up :?
Hi Dave. It may be your drive shaft oil seal? Gearbox oil has a distinctive, not very pleasant smell. If it’s gearbox oil then I suspect your drive shaft oil seal in the gearbox. It’s not a job I’ve done yet I’m afraid.
@@carsfortheclueless8101 Thanks for the info :) I'll be topping up the oil for now to be on the safe side and having a closer look. Garage have advised the box possibly needs to come out ad be stripped down by a specialist.
@@carsfortheclueless8101 Hi there I've tackled the job today and it is indeed my selector shaft seal. However in at the point of removing the old seal from the box and it just will not come out. To the point where the metal ring is bending up under the screwdriver. Did yours give you any problems to remove?
Will that single seal stop the oil from leaking? Or is there another seal inside that needs to be replaced? I was quoted a lot of money by a specialist for this job. They said the gearbox would need to be taken off
This is me from my other account. This will only stop it leaking from the gear selector seal. It may be that you have a leak from the drive shaft seal that shouldn’t really need the gear box removed to my knowledge. I’ll ask for you and get back to you.
@@Linton309 I was shown the oil was leaking from the selector shaft seal, but what I meant is if there is another seal for the same shaft, but you can only get to it from the inside? I doubt it though. Also, can you send me a link to where you got the seal from? Cheers
Hi mate thx for the video will be doing the same myself as I have a leak there too. But gonna get the part from ford themselves just to be safe and replace the oil with fresh stuff. Can he tell me tho what the t40 bolt was removed for ?
It was a while since I made this video. I think the T40 removal was to remove a bracket out the way so I could get in to the seal. Get a seal from Ford. I actually had to do this job again after using an eBay one. The genuine Ford one was actually cheaper and worked a treat.
This guy knows shit about what he's doing. Nice effort though.
