I have a 2012 Ford Focus with 225, 000 miles and it still has the original transmission and TCM. All I did was to replace actuators and it shifts like a dream.

Yeah I'd like to see how to mitigate the clutch shutter and how to service the fluids

Anyone wondering a 6mm hex works for the special tool to spin the forks

Ford Focus 2017 - recently got a clutch and fork bearings replacement, original had 131k miles on it, after the recent replacement it hasn't been 6 months and transmission gave a overheat warning light. I will have it scanned and see what codes pop up but I Haven't seen a check engine light on the car this far yet.

I have an issue with 2018 toyota thundra the high transmission fluid temperature warning comes on while driving then shortly after the low oil pressure warning also comes on with a check engine light then the car stalls and turns off itself. When I remove the battery head and put it back it starts and works normal until it happens again what can be the problem ?

I do work on this DPS6 like 5 different Focus all they work properly after u know remplace forks, lubricate parts, seal, clutch package, all grounds clean, etc. I have one right now with a different escenario, i do remplace forks, I taste the thickness of the clutch is on range, but at times display says overheating and still make all gears normal, i suspect maybe the 1ISS 2ISS or OSS already remplace, all the test pass like Clutch system, drums, learn adaptation, but when i'm doing the ISS test they fail the test around 2k RPM by 15 off the range, suppost to be like Input above 100rpm than the engine (how is that possible any clue??) maybe a CKP lying ??? any suggestion?? Thanks

Sir. My Ford Focus 2014 started to show Transmission Overheat - Stop safely today for the first time, then later again showed Transmission Overheat- Wait 5 mins. When I opened and saw the front side of the car, that white plastic box with pink liquid inside, there was a leakage on the corner surface of that white plastic box. There was pink liquid leakage. So what should I do?

Thanks for the video! I have a 2015 in the shop. I replaced the clutch and forks with the Luk kit and installed a Ford OEM reman TCM, I also replaced the ground connections from the TCM and rerouted them directly to the negative battery post. but I am still getting this overheat warning. I followed Ford Tech Makuloco's video exactly when i did the clutch including all of the adaptive learning steps. There was no signs of any leaking in the bellhousing. There is no shudder at any time but the RPM does rise a bit when pulling a hill in 6th from around 1850 to around 2000. Is that normal? Should it be like a manual while cruising with the RPM pretty much locked to MPH or do these transmissions slip a little on grades? Im kind of at a loss of where to go from here. The car drives and shifts great for a ASMT. There are no codes, although it did have a P2787 when it came in. THe problem happens exclusively at highway speeds while cruising.

Do you think its possible to DIY, change the TCM and code it in. Also do you think its possible to DIY change the clutch.

I have a 2016 Ford Focus, tested and got code P07A3 and P2872 shows clutch A, the car is also showing transmission is hot and is driving a bit rough, what can I do or replace ?

[linhbui]

New clutch, new actuators, new tcm, new output shaft & input sensors (A&B). New battery. All grounds are clean off. 99k and I just tested drive it on freeway going 60mph, after 20 miles, its show trans overheat message, pull to the side for couple mins, it’s run smooth again but its I drove it in-street not highway/freeway. Any suggestions?

[DucksDoQuack]

I have a 2015 focus 115k miles
It started off as id be driving and the rpms would skyrocket as if it the trans was in neutral.

Then i had transmission overheating error 3x.

Now its saying transmission fault service now and doesnt want to leave 1st gear.

It should also be noted that it took roughly 8 months a few thousand miles for that to all transpire.
Majority of the time it drove like normal until a week ago where its at now undrivable.

I swapped A for B and B for A but the issue remains.

Is this a clutch/ fork issue or a TCM issue? Also ford has a extended warranty for 150k /10 years
Do those symptoms relate to that warranty?

Thank you in advance if you respond to this lengthy post.

I have a 2017 Ford Feista SE automatic. Has been a good vehicle but all the sudden after driving for about 30 minutes it will start to slow down like the brakes are being applied and will stop eventually. If you put it in drive or park and give it gas it seems to want to go but almost feels like the brakes are stuck. If I wait an hour or so its fine but will do it again

[sttodd]

Was having slippage and then the trans warning and then just stopped working. Took it out replaced clutch and forks and actuators. Luk clutch kit and ford actuators. Got it running and still with clutch overheating warning… tcm?

[ryze_boondox_-]

What about if it’s at speeds of 75 mph I had a clutch and fork replacement and my brother cant even figure out what’s going on and he works at ford there no shutter no codes but I get transmission overheating then transmission fault

[funnyGUY]

13 Ford Focus Se 155, 000 miles. Transmission over heat error message and p0902 code. The transmission shudders and slips. It stays at 2k rpm.

[gregorymason]

The dealership told me my tcm was going out and auto zone said it was my starter cause my car was not starting at all I got my clutch replaced and the tcm reprogrammed how long does a reprogrammed last on a tcm but now my car is starting fine so I might just get the starter replaced

[nawazmian]

Can we put a manual transmission in it😊 instead this always $$$ hungry transmission
