Thank you very much for that amazing video! I had this issue with my ford focus. $3, 500.00 were asked to fix it. I have tried this and now my car is running fantastic. Special thanks to that unknown angel who suggested me that video!!

Ford dealer quoted me 3672$ for clutch and fork replacement because it was shuttering while shifting from 1 to 2 gear.
That's what you saved me, my 2014 focus has 59000kms on it.
Just cleaned both actuators and it runs smooth again.


Cheers and thank you from Cananda.🍺

Just did this on my Focus, didn't have the Actuator Reset Tool available so I just alternated spraying brake cleaner and placing the Actuator back on a few times. Now my Focus runs like it's brand new again. You are a LEGEND

Thanks for this video! My 10 year old and I just fought to get Actuator B Out. Took it for a test drive and it shifts better than I ever can remember. YOU ROCK!

You have saved my life. I almost drove my car into a canal, it is giving me problems and I am very worried about this. My car is a 2013 Ford Focus SE, I bought it used since I couldn't afford a new one, it has one hundred and eighty thousand miles. I appreciate that your video is subtitled in Spanish, it helps the Spanish-speaking Latino community. To write these letters I used a translator, thank you friend, thank you very much. Greetings from Lehigh Acres in Florida.

This video was super helpful. Started having issues with my 2014 Focus and I thought it was the TCM again. Dealer said it was "bent clutch forks" and would be $3000-$4000 to fix. Just went through this process and so far so good.

[fernandohiguera]

I have the same Ford Focus 2014, watching your video makes me a little better about owning this car. You are my new Mechanic please don’t go off you tube you are helping people. Thank you 🙏

I agree with you, after experiencing driving a Ford Powershift dual clutch 6DCT250 for 8 years on Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0L at hot tropical country with total 90k km, I have concluded that this transmission is quite reliable and enjoyable which suits my driving style which has never been trouble since brand new. As far as I know, all Ford Powershift problems are not due to flaw design, but due to 2 material defects supplied by the vendor, namely the TCM and shaft seals on the early generation Powershift, If you get a late generation powershift like I have then it is completely problem free. And apart from that due to lack of maintenance which in my opinion should be cleaned every 50-75k km so that the clutch unit mechanism is smooth and does not jam due to very dirty clutch dust. But by the way thanks for your informative video 🙏

Just did this on my 2014 Focus that appears to have a sticky clutch and has the same code as the video title. Key is use lots of brake parts cleaner while cranking the clutch actuator hole with the actuator tool, spray, crank, spray crank and only about 10-14 rotations MAX then turn it back down the whole ways. You will notice if you’ve never done this before, the clutch won’t go back down the whole way by itself. The goal is to get the clutch fork to completely release back down on its own after cranking up about 10 rotations. After brake parts cleaner, add a little WD40 to lube the actuator hole, crank up 10 rotations and back down. You may need to put it back together drive it for a little and do some more cleaning if you still have the same code and bad shifts. When this first started, I cleaned and lubed with WD40 as described, but the clutch fork wasn’t releasing back down on its own after being cranked and it was still shifting bad sometimes and showing the code. Drove it for about 2 weeks, then took it back apart and did some more extensive cleaning with the brake parts cleaner and then little WD40 lube at the end then after cranking 10 rotations, releasing the wrench made the clutch release it the whole way back down to the bottom. Now the code is gone and the car drives normal again. It’s just a sticky clutch and needs cleaned.

Man idk what kinda magic this is but it works!!
I had code P07A3 friction element A stuck on. Mines a 2012 so no warranty no way im going to the dealer.
It would shudder, buck like a horse and skip gears. Tuned that spline thing and it wouldnt spring back.
I did your little method turning with an impact, cleaning and spraying wd40 and lithium grease and then it finally turned smoothly by itself. Did it some more to make sure that thing wont get stuck.
Cars running smoother than its ever ran before. I'd rather keep doing this every couple of months rather than paying to have the clutch changed. Its not worth it.

[robertclark]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just completed this procedure and everything is working again. Before I wash having a hard time staring the car, no reverse, sometimes it wouldn’t go into any gear and normal shifting was a nightmare. No more of these problems are occurring. You sir are the MAN.

[gheeshin]

Bro, thank you so Fixed my car last night. Didn't have the tool, so I used a skinny slot flat head bit from my gun kit. As suggested, I used brake cleaner & WD 40. Didn't want to break the flat head bit, so I hand rotated & released for bout 30 mins. Skipped the OBD b/c don't have a scanner. Anyway, my Focus starts right away, no delayed 1st gear engagement, and no shuddering. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

[theroyalonemalik]

I did exactly what you showed in your video. Brake clean and Wd40. I didn't have that bit but used a screwdriver like you showed in another video. And it Worked! Thank you. I appreciate you posting these videos.

Just Got the invoice for whole entire replacement, 3k for everything(All) in the Bell Housing, He told me its the Forks A&B inside of the Housing, (From Experience)He's a transmission specialist of 20+years, The #1 atleast in my County, Blessing 🙌

[ProfessorThock]

Thank you SO MUCH! You’ve saved me thousands of dollars. Tonight I cleaned actuator B following your directions and it made an immediate huge difference. Tomorrow I’ll be cleaning actuator A as well to see if that fixes the occasional small slips I’m getting while slowing down. But cleaning actuator B dramatically improved my ascending shifts. Smooooth now. I’ve been babying it into second gear for years and now I finally have my car back!!

[kerrysowards]

Amazing, helpful video brother! FYI - clutch actuator A controls only the odd forward gears (1, 3, 5). Actuator B controls even gears and reverse. Hope this helps if you experience skipping gears.

[joelperez]

The timing of coming across this video was perfect. I had to look up others things that were going wrong with my daughter's 16 focus and watched this video "just because". I fixed the other problem that she had and magically enough a few days later she was having the hesitation, slipping problem. Ran the code and of course it show Actuator B was stuck. Did as you suggested and problem fixed. Great video and thanks for taking the time to put it together and sharing it with us.

[eugenfiranescu]

It works.
Focus 2014 SE 110.000 KM.
I just did the B actuator and it kicked in with no errors after driving kinda 30 km.The "reset tool" I used carefully was an Allen key with a rounded head 1/4.Hex the same size does the job too.But it needs to be hold firm while turning and all by hand .It took me half an hour.I didn't even spray that much like here but I'm going to do it again more consistent when I'll open the other actuator these days.
Then I erased all codes with the ODBlink dongle.
''P07A4, Transmission Friction Element B Performance/Stuck Off''.
''P2701-00 Transmission Friction Element B Apply Time Range/Performance
It runs reverse too with slightly occasional shuddering.
At least I can have some more spare time to have a cheaper quote to replace the clutches and eventual forks and clean the build up black powder from the old clutches.

[timallen]

I did this a week ago to my wife's car and it drives wonderful now!!!
Thank you!!
