Ben you are the man you make this look so easy thanks for these videos

Perfect explanation. Thanks for taking the time to show your work. Awesome just magnificent.

you are the best for fords ,hello from idaho!

Top notch installation video! It is much appreciated! (Torque info below) In addition to the information provided in the video. 1) Place both shift fork assemblies in their proper location. 2) Tighten the four (4) Torx fasteners, common to the fork assemblies and transmission, finger tight. 3) Install the two clutch actuator motor assemblies using the eight (8) inverted Torx fasteners, finger tight, ensuring splines align. Per the manual, “NOTICE: The clutch actuator motor splines must be aligned with the clutch actuator and the motor must be flush to the transmission clutch housing before tightening the clutch actuator fasteners to specification. Failure to follow this notice will result in damage to the actuator and motor.” 4) Torque the four (4) Torx fasteners, common to the fork assemblies and transmission, to 19 Nm 5) Remove the clutch motor to allow for the clutch locks to be unlocked after clutch and damper unit installation. 6) Align the markings and torque the four (4) inverted Torx fasteners, common to the fork springs, to 26 Nm. 7) Torque the eight (8) inverted Torx fasteners, common to the clutch actuator motor assemblies, to 5 Nm.

Very helpful you deserved a like and a comment and definitely a sub. I feel 100% more confident about doing this job

Very cool video. You have a calm voice that I am sure makes following your tutorial that much nicer.

Thank for you the awesome video! I appreciate the in depth walk through. I will most def use the leaf blower to clean this thing up, but a ribeye would cook better in there!

Thanks for showing this video, and helping us save

This video is the best I've seen for this job 👌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻

you are good man. thank you for sharing

“like a Pleb… I Don’t know what that word means.” Subscribed right away. Great Videos Man Keep it up

You are the king of the man. You have no jealousy, no hiding information, so I congratulate you. But come to our country, if someone knows something, he dies and doesn't teach it to anyone else, he takes it with him to the grave. That's why you're developing and not standing still. Good job.

Thanks. A well-done video. All necessary information presented .

I remember when you just hit 1K subs. I'm so happy to see you're now over 5K subs! Congrats, Ben. Keep doing God's work out here :)

Thank you. I'm trying to troubleshoot my transmission. I just bought a TCM.

Wonderful, job👍

I removed the electronic throttle body. I found it made things a little easier with dealing with flywheel nuts, the starter, and the shift cable.

Awesome work Amigo 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Another great tutorial!!! Thanks Ben.

Thanks

Thanks!

Very valueble information

Awesome, thanks a lot 👍

awesome job

Great video! Before I attempt to pull the transmission I thought maybe I would ask here about my issue. My car will often not upshift from 3rd to 4th. After driving for 5-10 minutes the car will usually shift perfectly normal. This seems to coincide with the traction control light coming on. When the light comes on, the car will upshift like normal. Ford just replaced the TCM last week. I replaced the shift actuators today . The shift forks weren't stuck when I checked them. I cleaned up all of the grounds. I'm at a loss of what could be causing this.

Thanks Ben

nice vid ty for it.

First off thanks for the video. Was looking for what tool I’d need for the spring nuts so learning that an 8 mil works is very helpful. And also you said you don’t know what pleb means. It actually is Roman, and was used to refer to the common free citizens of Rome. You can think of it like the working class, not much in the way of political power and pleb is short for plebeian. The other end of Roman society were patricians, wealthier citizens born into power. They were social classes and were hereditary I.e. you inherited them so if your father was a plebeian you were one too. So the saying “like a pleb” is saying like a simpleton or commoner. Most people use the saying to usually mean like an idiot.

When putting in the last large snap ring you talk about the “nub” on fiestas lines up the white line at the 9’ o clock position and that on focus it’s at the 6oclock position . I was doing a focus clutch replacement and both the old and the new clutch the “nub” lines up with the white line at the 9’clock position? Either way it shifts like a dream now. Thank you for all your knowledge my friend.

When i remove these clutches i just take the snap rings off and dump the trans on the ground and the clutch comes out on its own. Very quick this way lol. I hate setting up the special tools

Nice!

Use old axle straps as handles they fit perfectly.

18:38 is that damage to the inner race I see from ponding on it. So there is a spline a little way behind that bearing Hopefully that is not the reason that it takes so much pounding. Lets just say I have questions Thanks for all your help. I do really appreciate it

Really great help! Where do you buy the Fiesta/Focus snap rings, hardware, seals, etc.?? Looking for a trusted source!!

Another important question for you actually very important DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FLYWHEEL?

Hey man, awesome set of videos for these. I also think these are really good cars and transmissions, just a little misunderstood haha My wifes 2014 has made it to 200k but its time for a clutch at this point. It's had this low pitch vibration for a long time now too, really loud, so I'm going to do all the engine and trans mounts at the same time, being sure to watch out for the black and white bolts I've been able to follow along with your videos for removing the transmission. All If have left is one bell housing bolt and the transmiaionn mounting bracket. I am stuck until I find a transmission jack or engine lift at the moment. The clutch is still in the mail anyway. Your videos on this subject are a goldmine. A couple questions about reinstallation I haven't seen adressed yet. When bolting the clutch back to the flywheel, I'm assuming I'm good to put the little piece of rubber behind the strater back in so the clutch bolts aren't dropped inside the bell housing And is there no way at all to relearn the clutch at home? If I do have to tow it, can I at least crank the car to be sure things look correct before towing? Or should I just wait for the clutch to be relearned before I even attempt to run the engine at all? Thanks in advance

Hi i have question i have a 2013 fiesta 1.0 ecoboost with that transmission and the transmission works fine and is still smooth but i have a like scraping sound coming from it has anyone had a similar problem like that not wanting to have that checked yet until i have a slight idea what it could be but i think something is wrong with the clutch and not the gears because it still shifts fine

When putting shift to reverse or neutral it shaking? Do you think it is shift fork?

Hello Mr. Ben, I here again to keep picking your brain. We have been saving for the new cluth kit for my daughters Ford Focus. There are different options from Amazon to EBAY,, to Ford original OME, but I wanted your recommendation as I value your expert advice. Thank you

Hey ben awesome video!, I did have something kinda concerning i went to activate the transmission and i only got about 3 clicks out of clutch A and nothing out of clutch B did i do something wrong where i have to pull it apart again.

Mine seems stuck when I hammer it down like it don’t go down at all like the clutch is stopping on something I don’t want to hammer to hard

Well well well This is interesting 😏

Dude, get yourself a box of 7 mil. or 9 mil. gloves from Harbor Freight. They're having a sale this week/end and they're heavily discounted. You can ask the staff to try one on before you buy, too. I was using 5 mil. nitrile gloves and they never last. Got a box of 9 mil. and I've already used them multiple days. And, if you don't know already, to get them off and reuse them, blow air into them at the base of your palm and they come off pretty easily.

Hello. Excellent job bud but at the end of the video you said clutch re-learn position? Can you explain sorry my first time doing this

1:22 "you will need to buy a special tool to re-lock it" is WRONG. One can and I have done a few now with the bigger throw bearing ring and a couple of 2x4's, all by myself!

The Amazon link for the clutch assembly… will it work for a 2019 ford fiesta Se ?

Ben, It looks like I broke Actuator A clutch fork spring by doing the brake cleaner and lube method. Would I be able to replace the clutch fork A only and reinstall the original low mileage clutch assembly? How does the actuator A and B spring socket get released? Is there need to unlock procedure?

Hi, Great informative video, I'm working through a few snags with my Daughter's 2014 focus here in New Zealand. I just replaced all 3 shaft (turbine) sensors and resolved the check light issue. But I've made a foolish mistake in turning the lower shaft actautor in the "wrong" direction 14 turns clockwise. I'm now getting code P2872 Clutch A - Stuck Engaged, along with weird shifting. So my question is, can I undue this by turning counter-clockwise past the spring tension? Or am I going to have to drop the gearbox and reset the fork actuator? All I felt was mild resistance (maybe 20-30 in/lbs) uniformly until I got to 14 turns in the wrong direction. The spring-back turning counter-clockwise from this point fells the same. Any advise would be great.

Is there a triangle mark next to a clutch bolt that needs to go in the hole closet on yellow dot mark on the flex plate when doing the 6 flex plate bolts ?

😊❤😊

Ben, when you install the new clutch do you have to reset the car, computer. Would disconnecting the battery work if you don't have a scan tool. Thanks Big Ben

When I removed my A actuator I noticed the fork is shifted up and not centered in the hole….would this mean I have to remove transmission to fix this? I’m getting a code that that cutch is stuck…getting transmission overheating messages. Thank you for these videos. I’m thinking about taking this on.

I just replaced my clutch and when I released the actuators I heard the “click” on the first actuator but no click on the second. Do I install the trans and hope for the best or do I have to remove the clutch and start over????

Hello wonder if you can help me I have a 2018 Ford fiesta diesel manual six speed 11,000 miles after an hour of driving the car every night in town for my job the car starts to shudder when releasing the clutch in first gear or reverse. This happens every time after an hour of driving. Any ideas what this could be please thank you

Hello sir, Please help quick question. After I install the forks and bearings. I put the clutch down but it doesn’t spin freely. Any opinion as to why? Much appreciated sir thank you if you have a minute to answer.

Sir, when we are changing dual clutch of Ford dps6 then do we have to change all parts in clutch housing?

Knowing me I would definitely mess this up, and right now I don't have $3000 to fix mine. It's starting to studder as soon as I accelerate, then it's fine.. would I be able to just spray some wd40 and or break cleaner where the actuators are located and cross my fingers?

Hi I bought after market torque converter that doesn’t has the align mark on it Flywheel has it but torque converter doesn’t how should I figure it up and align to flywheel correctly?

Hey ben, my luk kit came with the snap rings and gear already in place, do i disassemble it to follow what you did? Or do i leave it together?

I have one of them clips broke on the bottom of the bearing like you showed. Is that OK to use like that?

Hi Ben I'm having troubles getting the clutch down far enough to set the smaller snap ring I've tried everything from a bs hone made press to the 34mm and tapping it in and I can't seem to get it down for enough anything I mite e doing wrong or any suggestions on how to get it set down for enough

Hello Mister , I hope you are well. I have a problem with my ford ecopsort automatic double clutch. I'm changing the forks but after changing, the speeds are no longer stable and it goes in all directions.... did I miss a few things. I'm worried that it won't be able to drive anymore because it's just the A fork that was broken but I changed both and the mechanic since then despite the reprogramming it's moving in the gearbox the gears are jumping or it's the reverse gear that's not working not... Please help me. cannot reverse or drive Should I also change the clutch? I await your advice.

hi Ben I followed the video to a T. here's what I had before the install first and second was slipping but the car was very drivable..got the luk kit and installed it and everything went well.I removed the shipping things from both clutch Forks and made sure they were in the correct place and unlock the clutch A&B it made the normal sound and then rolled back.. reinstall the transmission made sure all the connections were back in place..now the car has no reverse and it will only go 15 mph in drive! feels like some kind of demon took over the gas pedal. when I open the driver's door I can hear some clicking for about 10 seconds. any help would be greatly appreciated

Do all the Luk sets come preloaded?

could you link the kit you used for the rebuild

If you dont have the grease, what do you use?

I have the code P2701 car don’t go in reverse . If I replace all this parts your showing in the video would that fix my problem

What is the second snap ring index for? I installed the snap ring but dont see the little nub like yours

i have 2017 Ford focus i have code p07A5 and has rough shifts and has new actuators do you know what is problem thanks

Ford dealership they wanted $3500 to change clutch & forks, I don't get it , thank you sir

Is there any way to know if clutch is unlocked properly other than listening for a clunk sound ? Can you take actuator motors out and retry to unlock clutch if trany already installed back on the car?

The transmission has to be on parking when you put on 9 ??

Bill Hicks staged his death and he’s been working on fords😂

What is cluch learn procedure?

Mm-kay

you can just turn the transmission upside down, lifft it about 3 inches and let go, it will fall out

OK, I did your other video lube in the actuator hole seven or eight times and it was like seven or 8000 miles now when I do it, I lose spring tension after about six rotations and it’s hard to turn and it doesn’t get any better. I put a whole can of WD-40 in there now, it’s worked so good before but this time and I do hear it just a tiny bit of clicking in one spot. Does this mean that I need to replace the forks? I posted a video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PJgnzv3IFFI.htmlsi=1dVO8jxBEBlEf6CH

Bro are you near vegas can i pay you to docthis to my poor car lol

p2831 p2832 p287b forscan reset realern doesnt help? damn ford this is stupid

I have a 2017 Fird Feista SE Non-turbo. This is my wife's car and I do take care of it/baby it. It started acting up about two months ago, while driving it seems like the brakes would come on by themselves eventually bringing the car to a stop. You could push the gas in drive and reverse and the car lifted up like it wanted to go but seems like the brakes were on. If you let it set for an hour or so it would be ok but would do it again 30 minutes or so later. This is a great video but I sure hope this isn't my clutch. Strange because I have both front calipers off and they were a blank to get off and when I start the car and push the brakes neither piston moves. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks!
