36:15 They are called Shift Drums. The design has been used on Motorcycle gearboxes for many decades, although most are single clutch, using a single drum with Three grooves.

I have a 2013 Automatic Focus. I am experiencing clutch judder on pulling away. This video was invaluable in understanding the problem and more importantly the correct remedy. Thanks Mark H UK

These transmissions are absolute shit. We bought our 2015 focus new and had nothing but problems with shuddering. It's been back to two different ford dealers and they say it has "acceptable" shuddering which is a cop out. They should have been recalled. Stay well clear of them

​@@peteryates9153they were recalled because customers won the law suite. However, because the manufacturers of these transmissions coincidentally went bankdrupt, the best ford could do was give you a certificate for a discount on their new cars if you were to purchase from them.

Thank you! Very happy to see so much detail. I have one of these cursed things in my 2013 Focus. It shifts exactly like I did when I got my first manual car (terribly), but unlike me, it never gets any better at it. Love the technology; hate the implementation. There have been several TSBs and revisions to the input shaft seals to keep oil from escaping, running down the shafts, and dripping on the clutch discs. There have also been at least five clutch plate revisions. Ford no longer makes their TSBs public, so I don't know what's happened over the past year. Mine had bad seals and had a clutch replaced under warranty. It no longer has the aggressive shudder it had when the clutches were contaminated, but it still shifts horribly. The TCM "learns" as you drive it, but seems to actually get worse at feathering the clutches. It's worst when accelerating from a stop or shifting from 1->2. Possibly amplified by the shortness of the first two gears. Lastly, something inside the box makes a horrible grinding sound, especially when under acceleration and turning left. Ford repeatedly told me this awful, embarrassing noise is "normal". It sounds just like I'm dragging a six-foot steel rod behind the car. I haven't heard a clear explanation as to what's causing it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the box was slowly eating itself. Glad I'll be free of this thing (and Ford's incompetence) after only one more summer.

Great video Weber. Great understanding how that double clutch works in my car now. Got my car out today and it was exactly as you explained, clutch foul from lubricant. The new seals are brown now instead of black. Ford really did me right on this one. All the recalls, and additions from the dealer I can't explain and a detail. I knew I was buying some new, really un-tested crap but I bought it anyway. I haven't had allot of problems with the car to be honest, I just figured it to be quarks but after all the work and the trans controller, it really drives nice now. Keep in mind I took the car in for door latch recall.

In my opinion, it would be very interesting to see a video describing the single dry clutch Magneti Marelli "Selespeed" automated manual transmission, used for example on the Ram ProMaster (Fiat Ducato) 3.0 EcoDiesel.

One advantage of a DCT is that it can pre-select the next gear. Say you're in first, the transmission will have second pre-selected, and all the transmission has to do is engage the clutch that drives second to shift from first to second, and with most DCT systems you can shift without lifting off the gas. If you don't let off the gas in a regular manual transmission, you can reduce the life span of your clutch and transmission.

@alanjm1234

Жыл бұрын

The DCT actually lifts off the gas for you. And rev matches on down shifts too. The TCM "talks" to the PCM and operates the throttle. When it's working well it's excellent. Unfortunately some, like the wet clutch 6DCT450 are far too sensitive to dirty oil, and dry clutch versions can overheat their clutches.

Great job

thanks for sharing...

I have one of these, and never changed the clutches but had the TCM replaced once. 213k miles. It does buck a little when getting the shafts to the same speed from a stop, but I've changed how i drive to better suit it and it drives pretty well. I give it what i know it expects with throttle position to better its shifting and it does just fine for me. A seal on the CV let it leak and now it makes some noise from being low on fluid, but its topped off again and running strong- that was 40k miles ago. Lots of interstate driving is about all it sees. Probably wouldn't of made it past 60k in the city.

My mother's Focus uses this transaxle. Feels like a manual the way the clutches apply. Spins the tires on accident, often. And you can't brake torque it. It defaults to neutral so it revs like you have the clutch pedal depressed in a manual. Even in drive, as long as your stopped with the brake depressed. It's been in under warranty once to have a clutch motor replaced and a reflash. Certainly better than the CVT alternative, and gets remarkably good mileage, thanks to the lack of slippage.

Okay guys, listen up here. Shuddering is caused by non-aggressive driving. Which means the more you take it easy on your accelerations from a stop, the more the clutch slips and causes overheating problems with the clutch disc and flywheel. This causes "hot spots" on the pressure plate and flywheel creating "shuddering". There is nothing wrong with the shuddering condition, your car won't break down. P073 codes and lack of reverse or forward movement is caused by a faulty TCM. Ford also has hidden warranty on this, so inquire before you pay for repairs. A replacement TCM is usually necessary followed by reprogramming and clutch "re-learn" procedures. If you have to pay, you should know that the TCM takes less than 1hr to change out, but I don't the cost of the TCM itself. The Focus is a fantastic car otherwise, great on fuel, handles like a dream, comfortable and fun to drive! That's all I can say about that!

thanks...

Really great video John, very detailed. I drove a Focus with this transmission couple years ago and really enjoyed how quick it shifts when commanded manually. Being mechanical inclined I always look further and wondering about the longevity of this transmission. The clutch, the clutch motors and the integrated gear selecting motors may be a thing of concern down the road. Specially that it seem that the motors that select the gears are part of the TCM.
