    Hi there, really great video, I managed to break one of the two plastic feed tubes you showed at 06:18, is there a source where I can buy these from?

    That's my problem right there shift drum. I'm still waiting to hear back from the transmission specialist to get a quote. I did replace everything in the transmission clutch, fork, slave cylinder, even hub as well and I also did relearn everything it passed so I took a road test all of the sudden it won't shift properly and no more reserve so I'm back in the same place where I can't use my car. Smh

    I take the little clock gears out before installing the transmission onto the table. If you'd like to post pictures of what you're talking about, I've got a facebook group, link in the channel, and we'll be able to help.

    Hi Ben Just in the process of changing the carrier bearing on my DPS6 but cannot find any info anywhere on setting the preload. Am I to presume I just use the shims already in place? Not able to find a proper service repair manual anywhere.

    The shift drum manages the gear selection? I think I am wrong.

    The shift drum rotates and moves shift forks to apply syncronizers

    How do you diagnose this with the transmission in the car? I pulled the TCM to get access to the gears and rotate them by hand, but when I rotate there is some resistance. like a spongy resistance, not a dead stop and i am a bit hesitant to push past the resistance as I don't want to break anything. Any ideas on this?

  • @BigBensCarsAndCycles

    @BigBensCarsAndCycles

    10 ай бұрын

    That's a normal resistance feel. If you have a scan tool, try doing a clutch adaptive learn. If it passes, the case stops are OK. If it times out doing the neutral command step, the case stops are probably damaged

    @@BigBensCarsAndCyclesThanks so much for all this info. There are a lot of us DPS6 folks out there that are trying to fix these without spending thousands and you are a life saver. I am using forscan and the one of the steps on the adpative learn has a progress bar that just continually resets. I let it run for 10-15 mins before I just cancelled it.

    Black seals are the old design. They are trash and leak fluid onto the clutch. The orange seals are the newest design and I've never seen one leak that was correctly installed.

    You did a clutch job and it cranks no start? Check for unplugged vacuum lines, missing vacuum caps. If you pulled the intake manifold did you put the gaskets back on?

    A new case half should be 300 to 500. And they'll charge the "overhaul" labor, which is around 16 to 18 shop hours. The labor rate depends on where you're located. Ballpark 2 to 3 grand

    I am requesting your help from Dubai, I have a Ford Figo with DPS6 gearbox the car goes into all the gears perfectly and moves at idle but the the car wont accelerate in gear the car. The rpms would increase in park or neutral but not in drive or reverse. Can anyone help please? No error codes. This problem started when the car was put on lift and shifted in drive then it was put down and gears stopped working.
