One transmission took the Ford Focus from being an extremely reliable and affordable car, to being the laughing stock of compact cars, the Powershift DCT. My girlfriend drives this 2015 Focus and with less than 70,000 miles on it, it's ready for an early funeral. We've got the dreaded P0902 Clutch Actuator A code.

When I briefly owned one of these the dealership explained to me that the fact it is a dry clutch dct is the problem. That they actually poorly designed some coolant or oil paths and a few drops hit the clutch and destroy it. That the reason ford never issued a recall is because to fix it they would have to replace every engine and transmission entirely. Because it’s a design flaw in the big parts.
@philbrutsche8928

Every other DCT transmission is "wet clutch". No one else does a dry DCT - NO ONE. Hindsight, ford would have been better off with increasing production of their existing transverse 6 speed. At least it was a known quantity, and they wouldn't be facing a billion $ class action lawsuit.

Ford spec’d it with a dual clutch to hit the magical 40 mpg mark. They made it a dry clutch to hit the price point for an economy car. And there were time constraints so no quality testing of the transmission, it was already behind schedule.
@jimamizzi1
@jimamizzi1 4 ай бұрын
I researched the crap out of these because I have one, what I found to to the common denominator was the main oil seal in the transmission, there are 2 of them, the oil gets passed the seals and flings oil onto the clutch pack hence the the slipping and shuddering, they also don’t like sitting in traffic and constantly nudging forward which engages and disengage the transmission. Good luck JR,

Back in 2011 I was looking to replace my second first-gen Focus - I liked those cars so much I had two of them, but after a combined 250k miles driven, I was looking for something a bit more modern and up-market. The fact that you couldn't get a stick in higher trims, and I didn't yet trust Ford's DCT kept me away, and fortunately, I avoided this issue. It's a shame they didn't engineer it right, it seemed like the transmission was half-baked even brand new, compared to the GTI's DCT, and I'd go so far as to blame it for tarnishing Ford's reputation with small cars.

I'm no camera expert, but it seems like the Osmo Pocket 3 did the job. I like the stability feature. Good video. Also, the fact that the Ford DCT is a dry sump DCT was one of the major problems with that transmission. A wet sump system would have been the way to go, and probably would have saved Ford from many lawsuits.

P0902 is usually either the Clutch Actuator A or the TCM. It literally means the electrical circuit for the A actuator and is a code that will prompt a TCM replacement if swapping the A and B actuators shows no change in the symptoms or DTC. Did you diagnose it first before buying a whole clutch kit ? Sounds like you had it at a dealer who has no idea. . . I buy and fix these things all the time.

The engine sounds great, but startup is rough and though it's fine going forward very slowly, going in reverse is like a machine gun and I can't get it very fast(clutch B perhaps?)

This just reminded me that a friend of mine had an older Ford Mondeo Titanium (or Titanium X) that had the powershift DCT gearbox. One day it started not shifting into gear properly - Dealership was happy to cover it but then it happened a second time and he decided to get rid of it. Traded it in for a Galaxy as he wanted a vehicle he could also use for uber driving. Admittedly this Galaxy also had the powershift transmission but he didnt have the car long enough to run into issues with it. For some reason he couldnt get the permit that allowed him to work as a private hire vehicle and his uncle wanted a car for business use so he sold it to the uncle and bought a BMW 1 series. Im from the UK if that makes any difference so maybe consumer rights laws are a lot stronger here so dealerships here have no choice but to cover repair/replacement if the car is under warranty unless they can prove that the car had been driven recklessly or abused.

I bought a new 2013 Fiesta that blew the front oil seal at 6k miles. The clutch/trans started slipping/chattering and making grinding noises while cruising at a constant speed. The dealer I bought it from said they never had any problems with the DCT and that the noises were normal.. I got a technician to drive it and he said it was the worst one he had seen so far. He admitted there had been a lot of failures. All they agreed to fix was the oil seal and clutch pack. I traded it off while they fixed it.. One of the service managers said they only replaced the seal at first...Then when the clutch still slipped they took the trans back out and replaced the clutches..No retraining the trans was done..

Example when your brother was unboxing the clutch 17:19, parts at the end 24:00 or when your dad was putting the battery in the vacuum tester in the other video, I felt like I was trying to peer over the bottom edge of frame to see what was going on, while there was too much above the area of focus visible.

I've been super lucky with this car. I feel like I'm driving a time bomb. My car has 245k miles on it. I've replaced the clutch actuators but everything else is original including the TCM. About 90% of the miles on it are distance miles so I'm sure that's helped.

I think the Osmo was great. The strong shop lighting would help any camera. But objectively the video looked great.

Hey man great video. You need a A/C lift dolly. I run a transmission/automotive shop on my own my pops builds transmissions. We have three A/C lifts hand cranks. One is a hydraulic pump from the 50s or 60s we left it at the shop I quit and we got a new crank one. We use them to load and unload 55 gallon drums transmissions storage stuff up on our top shelves. They are a life and a back saver

This just reinforces the old adage Fd over road disaster! Shame on the Ford engineers and quality control. What a way to mess up a simple commuter car. Good job J.R.

Your video and audio are great with the Osmo. There was a time or 2 when the audio sounded like it got covered by your hoodie for a second. I was most interested in how the auto-focus would work. It seemed good but it wasn't flawless. I wish there was a camera with infinite focus so that whatever was in the viewfinder was in focus. I guess I will keeping hoping. Otherwise, good job!

Just a side note. You do not need the reset tool if you are installing a new clutch which I would do if you drop the transmission unless the clutch has less than 30-50k miles

if you remove the intake manifold its a lot easier to access the flywheel -flex plate nuts after the starter is removed. I just did this job on my driveway was not to bad. I just removed both axles just makes life easier.

I drove my Focus 7 years, putting only 145,000 miles on it. I drove a jeep during the winter months for the 4×4 abilities. I really liked the car. It handled very well for an economy car, and it got great mileage. It was getting 40 plus mpg. When it became too unreliable with trans problems and left me stranded numerous times, it was time for a change. They put 3 TCMs in it while I had it, and one after my niece got it. Ford had sent me a chit for one last TCM. The niece used it.

The camera looks good! The audio sounds a little flat and could use a bit more gain. Otherwise, seems like a good setup.

I hope somebody gave this man a workbench for Christmas. Working with it on the trans jack, putting all those parts on the floor is making my OCD go nuts. Knowing my luck I'd trip over something on the floor or irritate my back stooping over 100 times a day to pick something up off the floor.

Hey JR, I love your videos, been a fan a long time! Look at 10:17 for your timestamp, it appears you have a crack in your bellhousing that runs vertically down and back toward your mount. Not sure if you saw it or if it's what I think it is. Still watching the video, just wanted to be a bit of help.
