Darn nice explanation of the Dual Clutch r@r I've seen. FMC has got a bad rap on this setup and like shown it was the bearing that failed. It also looks like the Bean Counters were hanging around the trans. designing rooms. I saw a lot of cheap sections of that clutch that could be greatly improved on. Thanks for taking the time to film this.

[@Nate-Da-Gr8]

It's not just Ford it's the engineering and not taken the time to test it and make sure it was read. Thanks to being made in Ireland and trying to copy VW. But ford had to push it if you looked into it all. I'm ASE Certified in Ford, Mazda, BMW and Audi. I tell you I see more of these now then I did ever. I have one guy that works with me that likes working on these. He fixed the one I had but let's just say replaced everything. And my BMW hasn't missed a best, and it's a Track car. But when these trans n clutches n actuator and motors n TCM is right it's a good trans. I seen some go 150k, idk who or when people did there tranny fluid aka 2 qts every 30k. But some I driven in mostly needed top motor mounts, dash, climate control sensors, and sync system upgrades or replacements or new fobs for push to start ones

[@rapidtuneepping6702]

First time doing this job and this video was a great help. I couldn't find the clutch actuator tool anywhere but i managed to make it work with a T40 socket.

[@martymurphy9627]

That was the best explanation of how to reset the clutch I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@Nate-Da-Gr8]

Yea it does work, but I know I seen others but I think that's probably the easiest way. I know others may differ

[@CYGSparty]

Tip: if you drop the transmission, be careful with the electrical wiring connected to the casing when you’re moving it around. I damaged the wiring to one of the speed sensors and pulled my hair out for 2 weeks trying to figure out what the problem was.

[@L8R-HP]

I drop 3 a day, usually lands pretty good lol

[@CYGSparty]

@@L8R-HP Oh yeah this tip was for anyone else trying. I know you know what you're doing. I learned from you how to do it. :-)

[@JosueChavez]

Yup. I broke one, but noticed it before installing so I was able to get it from local store next day. $40 mistake.

[@kevingraham9054]

On number 3 with the help of ur videos. Currently having a issue, had bad "b" fork, took everything out and replaced. Will not learn now using forscan... I have the cheap forscan adapter so ordered one that supposed to work. It drives and shifts fine however it doesnt always start off in 1st gear and sometimes makes a weird noise up shifting and down shifting. Almost like a buzzing noise. U ran into this before?

[@L8R-HP]

@@kevingraham9054 could be bearing. Did you grease it up before install?

[@ronaldfoster8813]

Great video. I’m a dealer in Spring (Houston) Texas. Just did our first Focus DCT. It needed clutch fork “A” replaced. I disassembled it he broken clutch fork just to see what was going on. Looks like there was a really small bearing inside that let go. So tiny ball bearings were getting jammed in the screw as it was turning causing it to get stuck. Thanks for your video. Was very helpful.

[@JuanRamirez-he1sk]

You are a life saver. I just spent my savings on a 2011 fiesta, and later found out it has clutch issues. I can't thank you enough for the practical tips, I will start tearing it apart soon as this car will be my daily driver.

[@jothain]

Really nice to see this. I have Mondeo Diesel and I purposely bought older traditional 6-speed turbine transmission model. It now has 625 tkm's on clock. I've heard so much bad stuff about PowerShift models, but now seeing it torn apart I'm getting really, really strong vibe that it's not that bad. Reason being that I've always thought it's wet clutch assembly. Now realizing it's dry pack and that it has to be mostly issue of dust ingress it might afterall work especially for like me that drives 90% to work it's like few full stops and almost fully driving in highway. Also now I realize that most seem to try to fix/maintain their PowerShifts by changing oil excessively, which in turn does absolutely nothing with that dust issue which for sure is going to be problem quite early in city driving or trying to crawl vehiclle low speeds like old turbines. I'm actually now curious if that my turbine six speed is actually pretty much identical gearing wise... If it is, well that oil changing is indeed pretty much useless to do, can't hurt obviously. Damn and there would be one "sold for repairs" PowerShift Diesel Ford for pretty damn cheap. It's getting tempting to buy it and try to fix it. Are those actuators and was it TCM module parts expensive as from what I understood they can also fail? Just read more about that care between writing this and it says "rattle near transmission" so it's quite certain that it's that bearing assembly or clutch assy that's gone wrong. Thanks for the very interesting video 👍👍

[@larryssnova76]

This is a very informative Video awesome job thanks !!

[@JacobUmanski]

thanks a lot man, your instructions are crystal clear and really helpful. any chance you link a video where you explain how to install the shift forks? (grooves, markings etc.) I went through your channel and couldn't find one.

[@mr.carter4061]

The clutch forks are different, line up the notches on the bolts.

[@endurofan9854]

i was actualy impressed until the drop with the transmission your lucky to have no additional headache after that drop

[@L8R-HP]

I do 3 per day. So I don’t have time to babysit the transmission 😂

Is there a way to release it and reset it again without installing back and using actuators? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey boss, revisiting this video as I have purchased the reset tool kit, the smaller circle will not move, and the larger circle will not stay engaged when loosened. Bad clutch? Figured I'd reset the old one before trying the new one I have to remove, I forgot to remove the retainer clips on the shift forks.

[@jeovannycaceres9541]

Nice nice nice video it helped me a lot

[@bryanspurrier]

Mine is a 2014 focus. Got the tranny out and tried to rest the clutch. The first side worked, but the 3 shark fins clutch is the problem. The fingers are all in the holes, but the fins retract almost all the way back. Just wanted to know if that means I need to get a new clutch, or just roll with this one. Thanks in advance. The video is the best I have seen on this.

[@L8R-HP]

Should be ok. Roll with it

[@bryanspurrier]

@@L8R-HP FYI, I did roll with it. All was good and back up and rolling. Thanks!

[@athomas936]

I’m curious of what DTCs this vehicle had as I have a 2014 focus that I believe has this same exact failure. No reverse but car moves in drive. Sometimes car will not crank but if you put it in neutral and rock the car back and forth then back to park the car will crank and start right up.

[@sixtomoya6343]

Great video, one question. Should I replace master cylinder seals when replacing the clutch?

[@L8R-HP]

It would be good to change the seal if you have it

[@joethecomputerguy1]

Was traveling in WI. Had the crunching noises and P07A5 engine light code. Local mechanic replaced actuators for me and it's a little better and no engine code but still making noise. No dealer for 60+ miles and they can't work on it for a couple weeks. This really sucks. Don't know if I should have it towed to a dealer or maybe some other trans shop. In a jam!

[@danieldeleon496]

Question, do you have to reset a clutch if it's brand new? Also is there a procedure to install new forks?

[@jamesEric1213]

Great video this is going to help me alot, did you have to do the Adaptive learning for the transmission after you installed it back in the car?

[@L8R-HP]

I did, but if all is working right it will learn on its own

[@jamesEric1213]

Ok thank you

[@techguy404]

Don't think I commented here before, but seeing this video again, looks like the same issue I have with my 16 focus... Clutch needs replacing since its over 100k anyway, but before having the issue I was having random electrical problems. Started to have no reverse at first and suddenly nothing. Car only goes up to 10MPH (Was jerking at first like it wanted to get to another gear) The electrical issues where I turn off the car and all power is lost is suddenly not happening after taking the battery terminals off and on again. TCU relearn seems to fail when it gets to the Select gears on forscan. Hopefully this is the only issue, and its not something else further inside. I was also able to see the clutch touchpoint from seeing live data from the TCU. It's around 3.00mm. Also had codes for Actuator B circuit/performance. Replaced that and live data shows position -200. One time it looked like it was at a better number, but went back to that. Plus A not calibrated.

[@TheRoyMotorWorksTVVV]

Thank you sir,roy mechanic from phillipines

[@Nate-Da-Gr8]

I figured u do the seals under the shaft and in shaft. Those are a big problem for leaking and throwing fluid on clutch. Plus I would have pressed it on not hammer and push it down. But hey to each there own.

[@L8R-HP]

I do 3 of these a day. I have yet to see a leaking seal. Also if you know what you’re doing no need to press it in

[@Nate-Da-Gr8]

@@L8R-HP yea but I do it just cause I had the inner seal broken on shaft on bottom it wore a groove on it where that throw out bearing was on this one and it also cracked on other side and when it let go it went from 1st gear rising RPMs and bang to 6th and car just stopped. I think Ford has an updated recall again on TCM. But u doing the fluid's 20-30k? One I worked on had 150k and not even a qt in it and blacker then oil. And light was on. And I have had 4 this last one has been a lemon lol. Need little parts but big money even through eBay or the web

[@panhandling4parts389]

I have been watching all your focus videos. I picked up a 2016 focus 2.0 with the dual clutch. It has no reverse and slipping. First thing I did was check the forks are in good working order, they are. Then I swapped the actuators around from A to B and B to A. Still no reverse. And it seems to lag when going do drive. It had codes P0900 & P0805 & P806. So I’m wondering with swapping actuators and get no change. What would you look at next? Car does have 199xxx and it appears to have never been opened. Or at least by dealer as it don’t have updated sticker. With almost 200k it’s probably wouldn’t hurt to pull and out new clutch in it. But does this point to mechanical failure ie: bearing inside or TCM in your opinion.

[@hipolitoarizaga907]

Thanks , very good

[@jamesbuchanan9517]

I recently bought a new battery and a new negative battery cable from the ford dealer for my 2012 Fiesta. The motor instantly was out of tune and seemed to be hunting between too rich and too lean. I drove the car for a few days and it wouldn’t get better. When I put back the original battery cable the problem went away. I put the new cable back on to see what was wrong with it. Using a cold cranking tester to apply a load on the cable assembly I found out the crimp on the negative battery side was not making a good connection. The connection would become worse when you wiggle on the cable wire. After using a propane torch to solder that connection the problem went away. For good measure I soldered both ends of the cable wire. The transmission has never worked as well as it works now.

I have a '16 Focus titanium. It just turned 100k miles. I got a code PO7A5. Saw some vids on replacing the actuators. I did with direct from Ford parts and $200 labor for a total of $500. It wasn't a trans shop so they would not take on the R&R procedure. It is not totally fixed. I am still getting crunching sounds from the forks. No codes so far but honestly I am afraid to drive and getting stuck 1500 miles from home. When I was younger I would have tried to fix it myself by at my age I can't turn a wrench much anymore. I am in Wisconsin right now and headed back to Florida where I live. I am hoping it will still go into neutral for towing behind my rig.

Hey i think the reason you were having trouble with the final circle tool sticking when resetting the clutch is because it was upside down when you were using it. I did the same thing. Till i figured it out. if you look on the tool there is a bigger square tooth which grabs the shark tooth on the clutch. if the tool is upside down the square tooth on the tool is behind the shark tooth instead of in front of it to grab it. and Also i tried to reset mine and i cant get all the tabs to go into their holes in the final reset with the bigger circle tool. Most went in but not all. i tried it multiple times and it didnt work. does that mean my clutch is wore?

If a few teeth didn’t go in it’s ok.

I have 2012 ford focus with the clutch problem. I need help to fix. I can't afford to fix it at the dealer

[@rookiemvp2008]

Whats the part number for the new clutch assembly?

[@hipolitoarizaga907]

Hi, I have 2014 focus se .It has 109000 miles .The car start, but not drive and not reverse.. It make a very strange noise. It has those codes,PO7A5, P2872, P2802, PO707..

[@nofunybiz]

Do you know anything about the 2011 fiesta code coming up P2832..it would not pass emissions this year. car has 200,000 miles. ford said a clutch and would cost $2500. thank you

[@L8R-HP]

Fork A is sticking. You could try to replace the actuator first and see if that helps

[@jameselling2106]

you are GOOD !!! Wowwweee !!!

[@LostEndsStudio]

The tool I bought wont reset all of the pins. 80% of them are set, but they slip off on a few and the things just wont set. The spider looking thing just bends out of the way. Is your spider gear looking tool metal or plastic?

[@L8R-HP]

It’s plastic

[@realcantdie5274]

Question! Is it safe to drop the transmission from a height like that? I don’t have a trans jack or a spare transmission so I’m a little low on options

[@L8R-HP]

It’s not safe. Unless u have done it a few times. Use a regular jack and lower it down

[@justynasadowska1154]

Where are you at in USA? Can I come have my fiesta fixed? I have codes P0700 and P0A3. I replaced accuator A, and thinking to replace TCM, but new one is out of stock. Any suggestion what can I do? Car is shifting but is sliding on the gears

[@LuhNoSho]

Mine is P07A2 with the P0700 and I can’t even drive it forward only reverse thinking it’s a TCM u have like me

[@chasehill5642]

I can't get two of the lower inside B tabs on the clutch to click in position. It is the two middle ones out of the four that are right next to each other. I am using the exact same tool. Will the reset still work like this? Do you need every single tab clicked into position? Is there a method to get them one at a time? Thanks.

[@L8R-HP]

It’s ok if they don’t all click in. But you can also take a screwdriver and tap that 1 or 2 in with a hammer.

[@francoisoosthuizen6663]

Hi. My clutch is reset but the tabs on the outer of the clutch (the ones you had a problem with initially due to the tool), still go back to original position. What does that mean? Thanks

[@L8R-HP]

Should be fine 👍

[@crz450z1]

So I replaced my clutch and all the shift forks and bearing the car still feels like the clutch is slipping a bit I did reset everything with a good scan tool is this just how the cars drive or did I do something wrong ?

[@ColeAnderson-lf4bz]

I just put my clutch in and I'm worrying about how I aligned up the mark on the flywheel and the triangle on the clutch. Is there anyway to see it without splitting the transmission away to verify its in the correct spot. If it's not how important is it to pull them apart again and align them up? Thanks for any help!

[@loganpennington9104]

will work perfectly fine. Just will shudder on shifts

[@ruben618]

Do you have to use the tool to open the clutch if your replacing it out right does it come held open or must you still use the tool to open the clutch

[@sailinghudson25]

Same question here, 171k 2017 focus slips evry other gear. Likely just a new clutch will fix her. Don't have a fancy span-on scan tool either. Do you need to reset the clutch counter, or the car will figure it out on its own?

[@clint5866]

Great video. I have a 12 focus. I am planning to swap the transmission from a parts car. Do I have to “reset” the clutches? I’m hoping to just remove trans and drop in the new. I’m not going to be touching the clutch assembly, if I don’t have to. Thank you.

[@L8R-HP]

Used transmission, I would recommend taking clutch out, cleaning forks and resetting clutch. If transmission has been sitting for a while, they can rust and clutch and forks can be stuck

[@clint5866]

My parts-car actually runs drives great. Clutch’s works great. I really don’t want to tear into it. Btw, what size nut is on the transaxle at the wheel? Thanks again.

[@L8R-HP]

@@clint5866 1 1/4” socket. Still wouldn’t hurt to clean up forks while the transmission is down

[@clint5866]

I appreciate the advice. Especially from someone that knows their stuff. In which you have proved. My hat’s off to you. I will know in a couple hours if my car is junk, possibly a rear main seal. I might have to fix my parts car. Thanks again.

[@dakotawatkins7903]

If i got a used DPS6 from a 2016 fiesta , would I not be able to install it to my 2012 fiesta due to the extra ground added after 2012?

[@L8R-HP]

It’s the same transmission, adding a ground will help

[@loganpennington9104]

Can you use a regular transmission jack to lower/raise the transmission into the car instead of an engine hoist? i have the trans jack but not an engine hoist

[@L8R-HP]

Yes. You can with a jack. I’ve done it before, with a jack it’s easier with 2 people tho.

[@loganpennington9104]

@@L8R-HPThanks man. i’m working on it right now. You make those ball joints look easy to get off😂

[@amusementparkslovers4289]

Hello, Can I use the automatic transmission from a Ford Focus SEL 2012 in a Ford Focus SE 2014.

[@L8R-HP]

Yes
