You're welcome and thanks for watching, I'm glad it helped!

Great! I'm very happy you got your transmission fixed, and the growth is so exciting

You're very welcome! It makes me happy that I've helped

​@@BigBensCarsAndCycles do u half to have transmission reprogrammed if u get the same one from a junkyard

@tylerparish5463 nope! Just make sure to get the same year model one. Some are incompatible

If u get the same transmission from a junkyard are they plug and play or will it need reprogrammed ????

@@tylerparish5463 it depends on whether you get the TCM with the yard trans.

Is there any video of disassembling and assembling the powershift gearbox?

I just did mine car won’t start or show what gear it’s in, I change the transmission range sensor still nothing, gears can move but it won’t show what gear it is in, all I did was change the clutch forks in 2012 Ford focus plz help

@@eskodaboss you have to do a clutch relearn.

I like my focus as well, thanks for watching!

You're welcome!

Happy to help. Forscan is free and should work fine for that. You'll just need a vehicle interface for your car for your laptop. This is a reoccurring question, perhaps I should do more digging and find more options

Too big to fit the transmission. It still may work for supporting the engine, but a regular floor jack works perfectly for that

I used a long ratcheting wrench, you can also piggyback 2 wrenches for leverage to break them loose

Hi, thanks for watching, it was sitting outside with the hood removed

Hi, the 3 ton stands worked fine, but I used a crane to lower the transmission down. The crane actually worked perfectly. You would need taller stands if you want to use a jack

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thank you sir, video is a life saver btw, immediately subbed

You can put fluid in through the vent, it takes 1.8 quarts service fill

​@@BigBensCarsAndCycles legend. I was gonna snake it.

Sounds like a clutch actuator motor problem, but check to make sure your grounds aren't loose. Luckily, this isn't an expensive repair - and you can do it yourself: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbuRoqV8u7OYfHk.htmlsi=U9jCxQcpmGWv9WqD

Hey, I haven't done one of those in the driveway. At work, I pull the subframe and drop it from the bottom. I don't believe there's enough room to pull them from the top. Also, I have a video coming out soon on a full rebuild on that transmission so stay tuned lol (by next weekend)

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles definitely will

Yes, keep the car pretty level if you can. When you support the bottom of the engine, you want the engine level

@BigBensCarsAndCycles so... I bought the 2012 Focus 2 weeks ago. The transmission was slipping and shuddering some. It wasn't real bad, but I wanted it to be as good as possible since it is going to someone who doesn't know a lot about cars and just needed some cheap transportation for a while. Well, my son has been driving it mostly(700 miles), so I was getting ready to work on it today, and I took it out for a drive. It didn't shudder. I had my wife drive it. No shudder. I went out for a ride with my son. He could make it shudder, but normal driving it was fine. I've decided to leave it alone unless it gets worse. Now, I have $1k in parts and tools. I'll have to go buy another one that actually needs a clutch.🤪

Go drive the car hard and it'll mitigate shudder for a while. But it'll be back. And shudder is pretty much characteristic on these and people have been living with it until a fork locks up.

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles I have a feeling that is what my son was doing. As I have been going over this car, it looks it may have sat for a little bit before I bought it. The car only has 80k miles, and some barely used parts look a little rusty. Maybe it just needed some hard driving, as you said.

You may have dropped a clutch nut in the bell housing and it's jammed on the flexplate causing it to not turn over

Hi, you shouldn't have to pull the intake to get the trans out. But to get to the bolts easier, you can unbolt the engine mount and raise the engine with a floor jack

Out of the 3,000 or so focus clutches I've done that's happened once to me. I'd get it out of the hub, that might make it easier to mess with. Then you can rotate it around easier and try prying different spots. Try a bigger prybar. Try a punch and a hammer to knock it out. One of these tips should work for you

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles punch and hammer? Going through from the passenger side?

Yeah you can try punching it out from the back

@BigBensCarsAndCycles it doesn't go through from the passenger side. There is a horizontal cylinder in the way. I have a feeling it am misunderstanding something.

Yeah I mean at an angle from the passenger side onto the inner cv joint. Sorry about that confusion. Not through the final drive

Clockwise. Yes there's a chance it can mess up timing

@BigBensCarsAndCycles I just had my transmission fixed, I went ahead and installed it. But now it won't start. It will crank and will only stay on if I rev the engine around 3-4k rpms. It then shuts off if I let off the gas? Does that sound like timing is off? No loud noises, the engine is just struggling to stay on. Thanks for the response 👍

Hey, always happy to share what I know! I'll look into tipjar and let you know tomorrow. I appreciate it

I agree! This guy is the GOAT. I plan to donate with a super chat soon :) this guy deserves it and more!

In the comments section right next to the text box is a heart with a dollar sign in it. You can donate directly to him with that :) it’ll show up as a fancy comment haha

Hi, you need an engine crane to lower the transmission out. Use the eyelet on the transmission. Use a floor jack to raise and lower the engine as you lower the transmission

No crane Im doing this job in a parking lot to be honest just man power and wisdom

@TravisHadder-gg7uk well.. hmm.. you can take the upper and lower mount brackets out and get a few guys to muscle the transmission down by hand and use a jack on the engine oil pan to slowly lower it as needed

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles i was gonna just use my jack but then read that you said using stands and not a lift there not enough Clarence that way i did see at my local wally world they have these low profile 4 wheel easy rolls that you put under tires to be able to just push a car anywhere you want in a garage thought about trying one of those or a low profile lay on car things ....i don't know I'll figure something out but man ty ty ty you deserve a KZfaq gold metal the headache we/people are deal with these transmission is a nightmare

@TravisHadder-gg7uk you can lower the transmission down with a jack but gets some help putting it on the ground off the jack and slide it from under the car. Jack stands are enough. Good luck!

Yeah but with 100k it would be good to replace the clutch. Here's the tool Yuesstloo Dual Clutch Transmission Reinstall Reset Tool Kit, Compatible with Ford Focus DCT 6 Speed Dry Dual Clutch Transmission Remover Installer Tools for Reuse DPS6-DCT F1FZ-7B546-B a.co/d/df4wTkF

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thanks

I've had them sink a little bit into the pavement before with a car on them for an extended period of time.

It is!

It was parked in their grass for a while yeah

Haha honestly I'd rather work on a focus. Probably because I've worked on 100 times more of them than Fiestas lol.

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles Fiesta is more minimal tho. Mo parts, mo problems. 😉 ...Also, It's the choice of M-Sport. And was the choice of the late Ken Block. 😉

@@DetroitMicroSound I definitely like minimal cars for that exact reason
