I have a 2011 fiesta I’ve already had the tcm changed but the clutch (b) is stuck and they want thousands to fix it…anyway I can do it from home?

[@ProjectDIY2]

I’ve seen videos where people pull the actuators and spray lube in them. I’d try that but proceed at your own risk.

[@death_throes]

Theyre trying to sell you a new transmission too huh? Ford is so predatory, its unreal. I will never buy a Ford again as long as I live. I had my TCM changed as well, and today I am changing my actuators. I got codes for both the TCM and Actuator A, so Im hoping this resolves it. If this fixes it, Im selling this junk immediately.

[@cristorres3960]

I'm trying to replace my Clutch actuator as well, but the spline portion on the transmission is off center, and I can't figure out why

[@ProjectDIY2]

May be some dirt or other contaminate in there.

[@howardq999]

Having the same issue where things are not lining up because the spline is off center. I cleaned the snot out of it... It seems the spline moves back to center when I rotate it clockwise but as soon as I release it the spring snaps it back to being off center. Any suggestions?

[@ProjectDIY2]

That sounds like something you’ll have to have fixed by a mechanic.

[@blade75964]

My wife has 2012 ford focus, but got both a and b, but don't know which one is which. Or does it matter which one to put in

[@ProjectDIY2]

Clutch A is the top one, clutch B is on the bottom. Both are the same part #. Thanks for watching!

[@blade75964]

​@@ProjectDIY2​ ok thank you. So it don't matter which one I put it in, either one can go in a or b is what your saying right.

[@SilntObsvr]

I've got a P090C code on my 2015 Fiesta -- which seems to be related to Clutch B. You've shown how to replace the Clutch A actuator -- which side of the transmission is the Clutch B actuator on, and how hard is it to get to?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Clutch B is on the bottom directly in line with Clutch A. You can access it from under the car. Also, the actuators are interchangeable so you can swap them to see if the problem follows the actuator to verify the problem.

[@SilntObsvr]

@@ProjectDIY2 yep, found a video that shows changing that one, too. Front side, accessible from below. For $80 in parts I'll probably just replace both after I check the wire connections at the TCM.

[@stevenbrown9678]

Have a 2014 Focus SE that has had both clutches, TCM and clutch B actuator replaced. Car is currently showing fault codes P0805 and P2872 with issues starting up and rough upshifting. Do you think the clutch A actuator needs to be replaced? Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

[@ProjectDIY2]

It’s possible, but it could also be the actuator sticking because of corrosion up in the hole the actuator mounts in. I’d pull actuator A out and examine it. Both actuators are the same part # so you could swap A and B and clear your DTC’s. If it pops a new code for actuator B then the problem is the actuator motor.

[@ivanlazarevic78]

​​​@@ProjectDIY2what is the privlce of actuator?I have I think the same getrag 6dct250 gearbox in my Clio 4 RS.Only thing I notice sometimes it hasitate to change to 2nd gear when you start the car and it is cold.

[@ProjectDIY2]

I’m not sure what the price is. If you replace yours though, I’d recommend getting one from a dealer or a used oem part. Don’t buy the cheap junk from Amazon.

[@SkateboardCaes]

My focus will not go into reverse. Do you think that the actuator could be the cause as well?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Does it skip other gears when driving forward? One actuator controls 1,3 and 5th and the other one controls 2,4, 6 and reverse. If it’s the actuator it will skip some forward gears too.

[@SkateboardCaes]

@@ProjectDIY2 originally as I accelerate it (like going stop and go) it will jolt some. And then if I were to accelerate up to 2.5-3000 rpm it will bounce back down to 1 rpm. With it parked now it can drive forward but nothing in reverse. It would also say “car not in park out in park” while in reverse and still doesn’t reverse. It has said it while one drive but hasn’t.

[@ProjectDIY2]

Question , my 2015 Ford Focus se hatchback started shifting rough , then a message popped up transmission hot. I stopped and shut off my car, and had it towed home.

[@ProjectDIY2]

I didn’t have any overheating problems. I don’t think actuators are your problem. Slipping clutches maybe?

[@wannagoblue]

Start with changing the fluid. This transmission is essentially a manual gearbox and that overheating is usually old fluid and/or low fluid. Make sure you use the proper Ford spec for the fluid - it's not cheap.

Hello ProjectDIY, my focus 2017 is very slow in engaging the 2nd gear when acccelerating, it shudders at around 2000 rpms, I suspect the actuator or release fork between shifts may be dirty or just worn out. What do you think about this? I have extended warranty but I doubt they'll cover that lol wanted to try to replace the actuators first as it is cheaper. All other shifts are smooth by the way, thanks

I would guess clutch slippage. Actuators only engage and disengage the clutches, I don't think that's your issue. These transmissions are really bad for clutch problems and I suspect yours are on the way out.

2015 Ford focus, sometimes when driving and trying to downshift engine revs and car struggles a bit too downshift. Happens at lower speeds as well. This an actuator issue?

[@SilntObsvr]

My 2015 Fiesta (same engine and transmission, it seems -- 1.6L direct injection, 6-speed DCT) did this on the way home a couple days ago; afterward, I had a check engine light that later read as code P090C and the transmission wouldn't select S or R (wouldn't engage reverse at all, stayed in drive when S was selected). After leaving it sit for a couple days, function was restored, and after getting the code read, the code cleared -- but it appears the intermittent you describe could be caused by an actuator or related wiring issue that's not severe enough to trigger a fault code and check engine light. On the other hand, my car has done this (seem to slip for a second or so) occasionally at low speeds when I change from engine braking to acceleration, ever since new, and three days ago was the first time anything further has occurred or it's thrown a code.

I would suspect maybe something with the intake didn't get hooked back up correctly. Thanks for watching!

I have a 2014 ford focus with code PO7A5 transmission friction element stuck on. Is code PO7A5 the top or bottom actuator motor.

[@ProjectDIY2]

PO7A5 is for clutch B which is the bottom one.
