Thank you very much for this video, you just saved me a bunch of money ... about $120 for the actuators and about 2 hours of my time and problem fixed. On a side note, it was quite simple to do ... it only took me that long cause I was doing it alone and have the mechanical ability of a coconut. Again, thank you for this and to anyone that's thinking about attempting it ... go for it

I was getting the P090C code... Changed out both ACTUATORS, Was not the issue. Same bad things continued immediately, found out it really was the TCM that was failing therefore the 2 new actuators didn't matter. This was with my 2015 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM Hatchback, 70,000 miles on it. BTW, this is the second transmission I had to replace in 26 months... Get rid of your car if you still can.... Horrible nightmare.

Why didn’t you replace the TCM ?

Is this what I need to replace for the code P285E. Check engine light came on and gave me that code when I tested it.

Did you do the top one to or just the bottom my trans shakes and revs abd shifts at such high rpm It’s annoying as hell

@tudocervera3764 Жыл бұрын

more than likely its going to be your trans. control module.. the dealer switched mine out free of charge ,, the car was still under warranty.. 60k miles. i changed the shift actuators bottom only because i knew that the dealer would want to replace those first and charge 1500 for such a simple job.. and keep in mind there diagnostics sometimes gives a false reading indicating its the shift actuator when its actually the control module.. and that info came striaght from the dealer mechanic.. after the job was done that pos ford ran better than the day i bought it.. i sold it a week later.. f*^& ford.. fyi. those control modules are p.c. boards mounted to the bottom of the trans,, and when the weather gets extremely hot they tend to fail...

Did you buy this vehicle new or used? I think the warrantly is only 5 year/60k miles

@tudocervera3764 2 жыл бұрын

100k is what i understood are vehicle was used but only had 40k miles ask your local dealer. good luck..

Ford put out a CSP on this problem extending the warranty by 1 year and jumping the mileage to 100,000

I just purchased a 2014 ford focus few days ago due to my car braking down on me and really needed one . The ford focus has 90,000miles on it . I notice when i come to a complete stop at red light then it turns green when i bearly step on gas i notice a lightly vibration on 1st gear then after that i don't feel any issues on any other shifts only on complete stop at red light . What can this be? I called Ford Dealer and they told me i wouldnt qualify for The Dual Transmission Recall because it had to be 7yrs since the model was made with 100k miles or less . So i told them how much would it be and he said for example if is a clutch issue you looking at $3000 . Then i called another shop they said $4000-6000 for transmission. Any help?

replace your shift actuators , its so simple to do.. and then try to locate the transmission control module for that vehicle,, those are very easy to replace aswell.. i have a shop here at home so i do al my wrenching myself.. ive been working on motors since i was 10yrs old.. also clean your throttlebody,, another simple chore.. youde be surprised how much nicer your car runs with a clean throttlebody.

Thats The Only Time I Feel My Shift At Complete Stop And When I Go . Other Then That On Highway It Runs Smooth With No Issues And On Street As well is only when i start driving.

I have a spare trans for it out of the exact year. My buddy had it and it shifted great, recalls fixed.. he totaled the car so I took the trans

@@jasonnance4223 keep the transmission,, but if it was me id swap out the transmission module off the spare trans. but youde have to have it reprogrammed at the dealer .. but changing the shift acuators wont hurt. and its a very simple job.. ours started out shifting hard in lower gears just like yours and after a year it shifted really hard and very bad.. call the dealer to confirm it will need a reprogram.. and how much theyll charge to do it,, it should only be like 150 bucks to reprogram.. good luck.

it helped but the real problem was the tcm,, (transmission control module) there mounted right on the transmission and are designed with a pc board wich gets hot then fails,, its 100% covered under the ford warranty lawsuit,, mine was done at the dealer and cost me zero dollars,, and it has never ran better.

No doubt Ford dealers and transmission specialists know how to do this too. And that it fixes a he'll of a lot of "failed" transmissions. But they charge thousands...
