2016 Focus ST won’t shift into 1st, 3rd, 5th, or reverse, 5 minute fix!!!

[@BlakeG313]

This happened to me like... the same exact day u posted lmao. Thanks for the vid

[@elvisthewart670]

Have u got the video that shows u fixing it

[@martinezjazon]

It’s always those rubber silicone based bushings failing. Had to get one from the junk yard since mine was completely flat and out of insulation

[@AlexTurbo]

What about the other way around? My shifter goes past the engagement point for the bottom half (2, 4, 6) and doesnt go into gear. Would it be the other bushing?

[@erictafuro9076]

My first thought was the bushings get some acuity aftermarket they will last a lot longer

[@BlackSummit92]

Thank you so much! Had a similar issue on a 13 focus, flat head fell Im between the linkages causing 1,3,5 to not engage/grind, above video was very helpful in solving the shifting issue, thanks alot once again God bless!

Glad it helped!

Seems like I have the same problem. Today I lost all those gears up top. Could still get into gear and drive it but nothing would lock in and it would occasionally slip out. After driving like that for 5 min, the car went back into normal shifting. Car only has 30k hoping it not the damn synchros already….

[@Acordionista509]

Did you fix it?

[@cameronhymas7749]

Just replaced my whole shift linkage after the rod snapped and when i went to put the boot/knob back together i noticed that the reverse lockout is hitting and not allowing the shifter to travel far enough to go into 1st or 2nd anyone know why this is??

[@jonathansookwa1398]

I had a similar problem with my manual transmission but the problem was the shifter cable (found underneath the hood) connecting between the gearbox and console inside the car was loose and needed a little tension/adjustment. This resolved my issue, just an FYI if anyone comes across something similar.

[@SuperSedingAngeL-yr0]

Just an for your information?

[@cameronhymas7749]

How did you adjust it? I just replaced my whole shift linkage and when I went to put it back together I found that the reverse lockout hits and won’t allow the shifter to go far enough to go into 1st or 2nd and I have spent all day trying everything that I can think of.

[@javierperez644]

Did you have any noise come from the flywheel ? Like a chatter ,

[@jamesarmstrong8118]

Didn’t have any noise in mine, really the only symptoms were a delayed shift into the gears, also a delayed “click” could be heard in the center console. As long as you shift slow it would go into all the gears.

[@mohamedsame7931]

Joke man where’s the fix I’m broken down

[@madeofscars9355]

If only this was my issue (crunching/grinding 2nd gear uppon downshifting at low speeds), unfortunately it still looks like I'm going to be pulling the box and replacing synchros 🙄

[@thomasvp8707]

I've got the same issue with my focus st with only 37000 km! Did you fixed it?
