2012-2018 Ford Focus Dual Clutch Change Plus Rear Main Seal Replacement How-To

Long but very informative step by step video from start to finish on how to replace the dual clutch and rear main seal found in the 2012-2018 Ford Focus and also the Fiesta. Most of the parts and tools used in this video were purchased from Amazon and I have provided links below. At the bottom of this description I will have timestamps to help save time navigating through certain parts of the video since it's so long.

@ Blue Collar Garage: I salute you for your knowledge, patience and dedication. Taking a footage of this HUGE and Very involved job, must've, at least, doubled the time you needed to finish it. Thank you for helping all of those of us, who are too financially-challenged to get a mechanic to do this job for them, or where scrapping their car is not a feasible option for them. cheers!

This is the most detailed complete video with the best camera angles of this type of rebuild. The explanation of every part being disassemble and showing how to reinstall everything is fantastic. My wife has a 2011 Fiesta and I think I'm going to need this video pretty soon.
Thanks a million for making it

GENIUS is your name! Video is enough to initiate a learner into mastership on the transmission replacement with all the info you put out in the stages and walkthroughs. SO DETAILED. THANK YOU

[markjohnson-barbier]

Thanks for all the additional time you took making this. My 16yo son and I replaced forks, clutch, axles, motor mounts, transmission mounts and fluids with your help.
Dealer quoted $5500 for the job ... and they wanted me to pay separate labor for all of those items. Parts were $1650 and tools needed were $500. But a day working on a car together was the best part.
Thank you.

I've been watching YT videos for years-to refresh my memory before fixing something, or to learn how to do it. I never watch videos over 20 minutes. But your video this video was fabulous! You showed how to do each step while narrating, and I really appreciate what you do. Where are you located ( in case I need to bring my car to you)?? 2015 Focus

Excellent tutorial. The amount of work involved in filming and editing the video would have been far more than doing the actual job!
Much appreciated.

Just wow man that was the best video I seen on this dual clutch. Thanks

[SamGTA]

You saved my ass 4k.

Mechanic wanted 4600. I spent about 675 on the clutch kit and because of you. I GOT THE JOB DONE!!

Tedious. Took me 5 days. But it got done. Thank you brother!

[NaviYT]

Thank you so much!! This was the best walk through on this entire platform. All the angles, all the lighting, all the information like torque specs. You sir deserve a special place in heaven. Just test drove my car after doing every single step in this video and I can confirm that my car works better at 130k miles than when I bought it at 80k miles. I cannot thank you enough!
