You are the BOSS!

ben what do I do if I over turned my A fork and now lost spring action. does it need to be replaced? or just cleaned and reseated?

De que auto es la transmisión que pusiste?

I always appreciate good tips. I've got myself a 12 Honda Civic with 280grand on it. I hope it gets me to half a million and she feels like she can. Yet everything still works! You can call me a cheap was but just before I got this Civic I had a 94 Nissan Quest with 300,000 on it. Nice to see a Ford that can be as competitive.

How much does this procedure cost at a dealer?

Thanks for the great info. I appreciate it. Just did the BG cleaner, dropped the pan and changed the filter, flushed out all the fluid, added the BG conditioner and the friction modifier. Fixed up the torque converter shudder on my 2013 Denali I just got with 212k miles on it. I figured if it caused the tranny to slip, I'd do a rebuild on it. I'll probably do one later anyway. Magnet looked like a Christmas tree. Now time to tear the Denali apart and put that whole drive train in my '65 GMC truck.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Good night Big Ben.You Sir is the man.Just bought a 2017 Ford Escape.Did exactly what you said to do 3 drains and fill with the shudder fluid.It feels like a new transmission.Still dark in color the fluid.The next 30 thousand miles do I repeat the same steps with the lube Gard shudder fix.THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AND HELP👍

Question...do you recommend replacing with the Ford OE parts or the LUK kit?

Thank you. I'll keep my Nissan Versa Note.

Hey there I just saw your video,my 10r80 has recently started harsh engagement into D after warm.Any ideas? Been shifting rough when cold too.129,000kms,new valve body under warranty at 85000kms

Thanks so much

do you have a part number for the t27 and t30 bolts?? i lost one, and cannot find them anywhere.

Seriously no way, the mk1 first generation ford focus is by far the most reliable of the focus models! Here in the uk we have the honda jazz which id say is probably one of the most reliable cars on the road

Great channel ! ( new subscriber here) Came here after your appraisal of the Focus . Most here in the UK are manual . Looking forward to going through all your postings . All the best . 👍🏻👍🏻

wtf these cars are trash. Focus?? Absolute junk

Where did you get your cat claw???

You're nuts yr obviously not into th repair biz theyr notorious for Vance shaft misalignment causing shaking Misfires big time but yr garage kept maintaind and not driven hard

Hey random question as I see you are super helpful.. Is there and differences between awd and fwd models. I have a fwd fusion (2013) would I be able to put any 6f35 in or is it specific to Gen 2 fwd 6f35 only? Thank you! You are awsome

again your the man saving time and $$👍 let's put shipping out of the equation....over the counter product just buttoned up this project need to get fluid today

Do you think the reliability factor changes on the direct injected VCT version of this engine?

I have 2014 ford focus se automatic. Do i use same duel clutch transmission fluid?

Thanks, many thanks, extraordinario punto de visión, gracias por mostrarlo.

Your car is NOT safely supported. A jack stand is only reliable when the weight of the vehicle is already on the jack stand before you go under the vehicle. Jack stands are also supposed to be used in pairs. You should have two wheels fully in contact with the ground before you place yourself under a car. In the single jack stand configuration that you are using, the vehicle weight can teeter-totter between the front right and rear left wheels. Only the rear right wheel is firmly “planted” on the ground. This instability could cause the vehicle to move when you are applying force with a wrench. I don’t mean to be a nuisance. I feel very strongly about safety.

I did some quick research on the Castrol Oil website. It looks like most of the Focus models sold in the USA use 5W-20. The main exception for the dreaded EcoBoost engines starting in 2011, which use 5W-30.

"I'm so broke the only thing that's branded is my title" is a great joke lol

Thanks for being the Ford G.O.A.T ! Happy holidays !

So I have a 2015 wrangler 3.6 engine. I put some new cheap cats on it but still getting this code. Also new 02 sensors. Will these you have a link for work on my wrangler? Or is the thread different?

Noooo, the worlds most reliable car is the Toyota XP9 Yaris, they are immortal

Question: No DTCs, 2012 Focus, I took my car out yesterday, and 2, 4, 6 gears were missing. I turned the car off, restarted it, and they were shifting normal again. Same thing today. So this is intermittent without and codes being thrown. I performed a clutch actuator test with my scanner, but it would not complete and said "clutch position ramp loop failure." Where would you go next in the diagnostic procedure? Have you personally come across this issue? Obviously, I am thinking possibly TCM or actuator starting to fail, but... Thank you, Ben!

awesome man thank you for the video

Does the transmission have to be back on the car for adaptive learn? Or does it have to be off? Help please

I have one for sale ford f150 fx4 2014

If I used a tcm from junk yard same year some everything. Do I need any programming done?

i have codes p286f and po7a3 car will not start unless in neutral. terrible shifting in 1st gear, slight jerk in 2nd gear, will over heat in 3rd gear and will not shift. In limp mode and no power when accelerating. any help?

It workedddd

The lead frame do need to reprogram or plug and play am my right sir

I looked at a car today with a very faint whine. 2 to 3 shift is horrific when giving it gas, but when easing into it the car drives fine. You think i can get away with just changing rhe filter, flushing and friction modifier?

2013 focus 106k miles. Had issues with transmission for a while (for about 2 years), it had issues with shifting into 2nd gear at traffic lights, it was getting worse when engine was getting hot or during hot weather, but I managed to drive it fine most of the time (just revving up the engine when taking off to overcome the shuddering). It broke down when I was driving in heavy rain, turning the corner on the stop light and car slipped, activating traction control and engine revved up quickly (and possibly it wanted to shudder shifting into 2nd gear at the same time), after that lost 2nd gear, reverse etc. Terrible smell came through the vents (assuming it was a clutch smell). No codes ever popped up, still has only first gear, forks on the bottom of transmission are moving with no issues when I pulled actuator. Trying to trigger any codes by shifting in reverse and revving up, nothing happens. Revs up too high in drive, only way to drive it forward without revving up too high is to shift it in low gear. How to troubleshoot? Should I take it to the dealer and get it diagnosed and hoping it’s the tcm that crapped (and then hope for warranty replacement) or should I get a new clutch and forks and swap them out? Thanks in advance.

You would think Ford engineers could design a simple way to bleed a clutch in a Ford Ranger. If you put a bleeder on a system, it should work! But it doesn't. And even having the throwout bearing in the bellhousing is a stupid idea. So I just stop putting clutches in Fords all together,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have that engine in my EcoSport. Glad to know it's reliable. I intend to keep the car for a long time.

I now own my 2nd Ford Focus. I am grateful for it every time I get into!

Is there anyway I can get on a phone call with you ? I would pay

Had a z-tec 2.0 2001 ford focus extremely reliable and could say as good as toyota if not better.

Maybe 18 inches is beyond the limit for 3/8 drive ratchet? The reviews for 3/8 18 inch duralast breaker bar is pretty horrible too. Is a good solid 18 inch 3/8 ratchet or breaker bar? Probably tool truck tools won’t hold either

Hi I'm Billy in south carolina, I have a 2016 escape and after replacing the battery I now don't have power steering. Could the fuse you are talking about be the reason for the loss of my power steering???

Can you help? When I get on the throttle, I hear a errrr sound. Like spinning tires on wet pavement. Does that sound like the transmission?

These videos are great, thanks for the effort in making them!

Can I replace the clutch actuator on the bottom by using a jack or jack stands? I don’t have access to a lift and I can’t afford the price the mechanic wants but I know I can do this myself

Guess i shud avoid buying a 2017 ford focus automatic titanium hatchback?
