How To Replace All Engine And Transmission Mounts On A Ford Focus With 2.0l Ecoboost Engine

[@ifixthings86]

I especially like the fact you included tq numbers. Good video.

[@chrisschultz6129]

He also cleaned the battery terminals . . . how many techs do that? Treating a customers car like your own; amazing and rare these days.

[@banjoyBoy]

You have the torque specs backwards on the right side engine mount. It's 66 ft/lbs to the frame, 59 to the engine. Excellent video very helpful, only video I've seen that does all three. Much appreciated.

[@R11C0_3]

Just getting into the self car care. And this step by step was very helpful, I have a 2016 Ford focus and want to start doing work my self on the vehicle.

[@mejhon6592]

Well we save money, but the way it was hard to change all the motor mout? Or you recomment to hire a mechanic?

[@mattgreen2562]

Thank you for this video! Replaced the engine mount and the e transmission mount today and the car went from sound like a jet winding up to what a new car sounds like!

[@gammadas]

Very grateful for this detailed instructional video--I just replaced the transmission mount and saved myself a sizable amount of money!

[@Magoodigan]

Thank you for the video! Did mine today and the car is running so smooth. It solved the shuddering I was getting when getting into 1st gear that I thought was from a worn clutch.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

@@Magoodigan glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!

[@timgiles9413]

On the lower torque mount make sure you use a 6 point box wrench on the two bolts that connect the bracket to the engine. You will probably round off the bolts with a 12 point. Don't ask me how I know. 😢

[@cesarvega7297]

THIS WAS AN EXCELENT VIDEO!! A+ QUALITY AND EXPLINATIONS. im doing this job on Friday after thanksgiving so i wanted to see what it was going to take. you made it seem very eazy and straight forward. minus the part with the whole saw i think i got this. THANKS AGAIN!

[@humbertoperez2527]

Hey, I also am planning to do this. Are you still active on this account?

[@derekgardin1512]

Great video! It's very thorough and easy to understand for people that may not have as much experience. I have been wrenching on my own cars for 30 years and do most jobs myself (unless need a hoist). I always watch a video ahead of a job ive not done yet on whatever car im working on, just so if there are any tips/tricks/hidden bolts I knoe about them ahead of time. KZbin has bren invaluable in elevating the DIYers game. I like that you left in the issues eith getting out the bad bolts. Somethjng else for people to learn and how to get around probelms you might encounter at home. I suggest anyone getting into car repair at home, make sure you have a good set of tools. Therr are plenty of lists on the internet of what you should start with as a base setup and build on it from there. Im constantly adding something to the toolbox. If its something I will use often I will buy a better brand/quality one (that also has a good warranty) and things I wont use very often but are still very helpful to have Ill buy a cheaper version of that tool at Harbor Freight or Princess Auto(the Canadian Harbour Fr.)

[@rocks4brains]

Great video. best I found. Just a tip: you can pull the air box as a unit without disassembling it. You were very detailed so noticed you didn't show or mention reattaching and tightening the air duct to the air box at the MAS sensor - I mention that because I forgot to re tighten the screw once. Wasn't a big deal because it was such a tight fit to start but didn't find it loose until I had to take it off again.

[@Stormpooper_]

Thank you for stating the torque specs as you put it back together.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!

[@wikiwikikujizzle]

super helpful - just replaced trans mount and this made it so easy. Torque mount is next

[@manunava1776]

Nice & thorough tutorial, thanks!! I'll be changing out the upper passenger side mount on my 2012 Ford Focus Titanium hatchback w/ 5-speed manual as soon as the part comes in (CV6Z-6038-C). I am currently at 120,000 miles & just noticed today that it was past it when I was taking out the MAF & throttle body for cleaning. I was wondering why, lately, she had been feeling rough!!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Hopefully the parts come soon. I’ve been having problems getting parts.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

@Joe Brone if you’re not feeling or hearing clunking noises you most likely run them a little longer. You can change one at a time as they go bad.

[@dalesmith4985]

My 2012 focus only has 88,000 kilometers on it and a engine mount needs replacing as there is vibration inside the car. have already replaced steering rack and camshaft position sensor and the heater core has failed, the brake rotors also need replacing already. mine is the base model LW focus 5 speed manual

[@MrDiego752]

Made it look easy. Excellent work man. Thanks for sharing this type of content!

[@TroyaJamilyn]

Thanks for the video. Got my transmission mount and torque mount replaced with the help of this video.

[@takinglifebythelens]

LOVE it when I find the exact video I need! Thank you Sir for a perfect video, cut my time in 1/2 at LEAST and the new motor/trans mounts make the car ride like NEW!

[@mejhon6592]

Is hard to do it by ourself? Or we need to hire a mechanic?

[@cantgetright742]

Will some ramps work or does the suspension need to be loose. I take it the idea is to have enough room to get a jack under the car and be able to jack it up since they’re so low to the ground.

[@miller8084]

Wow, great video and explanation! This video was on par with a TV show!

[@senormarti]

I want to do this to my 2016 1L focus, as it's vibrating, engine is turning around when shifting to reverse and every bumb makes a metallic sound somewhere in the bottom. My money is on the torque mount.. But do I have to support the engine with something like a tall pole or something while I remove the old mount? Every other video I've seen says you ned to but here you just rip it out and the engine is just fine

[@athenov9702]

My engine is starting to shake. Decided to do a quick inspection on which mount it could be. And found that the torque mount has a gap between it and the frame. Tried adjusting my jack points in hopes that I can close the gap and tighten it back up but it won't change. Could it be that or something else? I'm hoping not to have to buy and replace all three mounts.

[@the_castironman]

Torque specs for the motor mount are reversed. Engine side should be 59 and 66 on opposite side.

[@GeneralHensaleey]

Thnxs for sharing I have fordfocus 2009 It needs to change motormount your video really helps me alot 🙏

[@HowtoAutomotive]

[@philunwin7688]

With the battery removal for the left mount, do you have to do anything with the electrics regarding radio codes or anything resetting in the ECU?

[@derekgardin1512]

No just reset the clock as he did

[@ponycar351w]

Thank you, great video with lots of useful information. I just got a 3013 Escape with the 2.0 EcoBoost and I'm familiarizing myself with everything it might need. Since the Escape is so heavily based on the Focus, a lot of the information you shared directly applies. I do have one question one comment. The question is regarding the bracket that you removed with the torque/transmission mount at about 2:30 in the video. It contains a rubber bushing where the torque/transmission mount bolts to it. In mine this rubber bushing has severely degraded, it looks like due to oil saturation from a transmission leak at the driver's side CV shaft seal. Do you know if that bushing fails often or if it is replaceable separately from the bracket? The comment is that on some of the chat boards people are saying that the OEM CV6Z-6068-A Transmission Mount (also used on the Escape) is not a great design, and that the equivalent part from the Focus ST (CM5Z-6068-A) is supposed to be sturdier but does slightly increase "road feel". I haven't tried it (I am considering doing so), but it seems like a decent number of other Escape owners are saying that it's a good upgrade.

[@besweettotawness720]

Since the video describes the potentially trickiest part--->i.e. removing the rusted battery box 10 mm bolt, (mine severely rusted also), here's one option for anyone concerning these battery acid rusted bolts and preventing bolt strippings Use your PB Blaster, put on your Earmuffs, and tap that flat washer and break the rust fusing the bolts and washers together. Don't just grab your 10 mm and try to loosen it. I know what you may be thinking--"this is a mere small wimpy-assed 10mm bolt--its not gonna give me trouble..." However, Since the WASHER rust build up in my case prevented the socket from even grasping the bolt properly, (and likewise risk stripping the bolt) it was necessary to chissel chunks of rust off of the washer also FIRST. Don't chissel on the bolt ofcourse. Be patient here. It took some time to expose the entire bolt heads again. Any extra tapping only helps that PB Blaster penetrate more anyways. Thanks HowTo for the battery box warning! I owe you a deli sammich. You saved me hundreds and headaches.

[@remmf50]

Hi. I have ford focus 2013 and I have a knock. I changed suspension arms, shock absorbers, what symptoms do you have to change the transmission mount

[@HowtoAutomotive]

It’s possible to hear a noise but most the time you just kind of feel movement when you’re accelerating.

That is for a manual trans on focus 2012?

[@pfsantos007]

Guys, just go with the Ford mount on the engine side. I've done this job with aftermarket mounts, and they're nowhere near as good. The Ford one I believe is hydraulic and most (all?) others are solid rubber. Did the Ford one on sister's Focus and the difference was night and day, even though the aftermarket one I removed wasn't old and still looked in good condition. And the inserts that you have to bend the bracket into the aluminum casting? I just threw a brand new one I had in the basement in the trash. You can get the factory ones for much cheaper than the dealer, but still from the dealer. Search OEM Pro Parts or something like that. Ford has a deal with online companies. You get the part much cheaper online, and pick it up at a local dealer or you can have it shipped. e.g. I got the CAD $130-150 mount from the dealer for CAD $95 + tax picked up. They wouldn't give me the same deal if I bought it straight from the dealer. Crazy, but whatever.

[@derekgardin1512]

Agreed. The lower torque mount I bought from RockAuto but also installed a Polyurethane insert to stiffen it up. The trans mount (5spd manual) I bought aftermarket as well. The engine mount though yes OEM is best by far. Feels better and will last longer than a year or 2 like the aftermarket.

[@Vee2711]

My 2018 Focus ST makes a nasty clunk under the car when changing from 2nd to 3rd. Any guess of which mount may be causing the issue? I’m guessing the transmission mount? Thanks I’m advance kind sir

[@mikeginla]

I have a 2013 Focus ST and my lower mount wore out. I replaced it today and the rubber was broken on both sides. My car was doing the clunk thing too, I replaced mine with a Cobb mount in that it is supposed to cut down on torch steer and wheel hop. Tool wise I had to buy a Matco 13" 15mm ratcheting wrench.

[@derekgardin1512]

Torque mount. The fact it's only 2 to 3 is odd though.

I looked on RockAuto (great place to look up parts and info/part numbers) and there are a couple listing's that say 'manual trans' so to be safe I'm ordering that one. It's possible they could be the same, could also call Ford dealer and ask the parts department.

As a new owner of a 2014 Focus, this came in very handy as my passenger side mount is shot and leaking oil. I haven't found the torque specs in the description but have I heard it right (I'm not a native english speaker) it's 59 ft lb for the one in the chassis and 66 ft lb for the one in the engine?
