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.

Great video very well explained.

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.

Dope video. I gonna try this see if it worka

Great video, this one! 👍

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

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 ?

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

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.

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

What if my transmission is overheating and dropping gears after you accelerate to fast or something or when it’s hot

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.

Hello, my trans is throwing the overheating massage. Code is p2872 Actuator A. I did replace it, didn’t replace the B. I did change the trans oil which it was only a qtr and oil was really dirty. I scrapped the ground terminals to get better results. Got the engine coolant to the right level and after doing all that i still getting the same warning. Got the warning but after 2 minutes i put the car on reverse and it drives. Should i clean the part where the actuators goes in? To see if the forks start engaging? Idk im so confused. Maybe the TCM

Hey I need some advice on my 2015 ford focus

I have a 2013 ford focus 113k miles. Just had the bearings replaced and dust boots. Was driving and received the red exclamation ❗️ to pull over cause transmission was overheating and to wait 5 min. No lights on dash but my traction control light keep flickering? Which never happened before. Waited till it told me it was to drive and went about my way home I wasn’t far. It’s been parked since. Which was maybe 2 days ago

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

I had only got codes for the shift forks

What’s a clutch shutter? Mines been sitting for 6 months and now that I’m driving it again it’s struggling to switch gears, and tranny keeps running hot. It drives fine once I’m on the interstate I’m guessing because I’m not switching gears but I don’t know. I added a quart of tranny fluid, but it’s a sealed transmission so I can’t check to see if there’s enough and I’m scared to add too much.

Owner is selling car and said they replaced transmission but still getting overheated message

My car used to shift very roughly and shake time to time... I was told to replace gear box which I did... It doesn't share that much now, but I had different problem - when driving above 80 km per hour for some time, like 40 minutes my new transmission was overheating... In the end after lots of trials, they said it was a software problem and reprogrammed the car.. After that I drove 2K miles without having the opportunity to test the same duration for that speed.. But recently it start to everheat in a traffic jam in about 40 minutes even though I often put it in N to avoid overheating... So no I don't know what the hell to do with this car... (I have replaced both actuators 2 years ago)...we've checked transmission sensors, seems ok. I've changed transmission liquid for no reason, just to be sure... Maybe it's time for TCM?! The most frustrating is that technicians are guessing instead of really knowing what the hell ot wants

Is this automatical what

My wife had the overheating issue and I had told her to check coolant she was empty and we brought more than a a gallon of water and it poured out in the same area your thumbnail points just not really any surface area to see where

Hi I have 3 code on my car p07a3 and p286f and p2872

So there is literally no temp sensor. Then if the clutch actuators start to stick or any other transmission code pops up, then this must be the trans check light. Basically saying hey you need to scan me.

It is an automatic / electric built in clutch , I guess it's called. and it doesn't show any codes
