Hey everyone, as we all know the automatic in the focus SUCKS. Anyone know what to do to make it shift better and be a little more responsive? Like it just switching from first to second is trash. If I wanna do a manual swap I’m going to wait a bit til I do it. Thanks!

I just got my second car before heading off to college, its a 2014 focus titanium hatch. I did do my research about the transmissions. and somehow i managed to get the only focus with the dct in the world that does not have any transmission problems so far. Any suggestions that I should do...

I have a 2015 Ford Focus hatchback se. my check engine light is on and my car won’t go in reverse (though does go forward). I have heard a concerning noise from my engine every now and then about a month or so before this check engine light came on. Sounds like the engine is straining. Working...

Hey everyone, first post here. I’ve had every generation of focus and I’ve never had a single major problem with any of them. However I just bought a new one and I’m just looking for a little guidance on a possible trans leak. I have 2012 manual focus SEL I bought for quite cheap from auction. I...

When I removed my old engine from the bellhousing, the release bearing, a really weak spring, and a toothed ring popped right out. I was under the impression that the bearing and whatever the sping and ring are, were part of the slave cylinder assy? The bearing is fine, so I wonder what I should...

I've pulled my tranny out to change the clutch and slave cylinder. I'm just having a hard time getting the tranny back in place. Any tips for me? I got a transmission jack but there isn't much space for me to work with when I try to lift it in place. I tried benching it into place and got pretty...

Am looking for a good used 5 speed trans to go in my 05 Ford Focus ZX3 .

Hello, I have an 05 zx4 st (2.3) manual and had a question about the transmission. I may just be a bit paranoid but I have to do a lot of highway driving in the car and it has a very low gearing. At 70 I'm just over 3k rpm, and the car has quite a few miles on it. I know that the SVTs have a 6...

I JUST bought my car, and I am having noise from my transmission, and want to get it rebuilt for the most part. Looking at getting a bearing/seal kit, but I've run into an issue. All of the kits I find ask if I have an 18.5mm or 20.5mm rear pinion bearing. I have zero clue how to figure out...

i have a 2008 ford focus sedan with auto transmission trying to replace the neutral safety switch but having a hard time figuring out how to disconnect the linkage would love some help.

So I have a 2012 Focus Titanium that I bought last June with no issues. Around December it began to show the "stutter" and other problems that seem to be characteristic of the Focus transmission. After swapping the engine with a 2016 Focus that had a transmission that was supposed to have been...
