| Well, to add to my aforementioned problems, I was driving at 55mph today and the transmission slam/downshifted and I had to peal my nose off the windshield, not really, but it stayed there and eventually shifted back to 4th gear. At the next stop light the engine died and all the warning lights came on. It started back up and so far all is like before. Do you guys think $600 (the dealer is paying the other $600)that's $1200 installed, to replace the tranny with a 19K mile used one is a good deal? They say I'll get a two year warranty with it.....any guesses?? | |

Gym, As far as the symptoms go.....eeek. The deal proposed by the dealer is a fair one if all the details are correct. It will probably cost him $100-$200 for the used trans, and then labor for install. A 2-year warranty in writing would be a better-than-normal addition if the warranty is on paper and reputable. Check the warranty details 2x. GL Dean. |

I have a 2000 ford focus with a 4f27e tranny that was rebuilt by a back yard tech who forgot to fill the t converter. can it be filled without removing the tranny?

Hi everyone, my daughter has a 2003 Focus ZTS 4dr. sedan AUTO and is having trouble with the car overreving and not dropping down. She has problems with it wanting to stall out when pressing the gas from a stop in drive or reverse; the check engine light is also on. In checking that problem I discovered that it slow is not shifting smoothly form 1st to 2nd and does not seem to shift to 4th or overdrive. I honestly cannot tell if it shifts after hitting 3rd. At 55mph it is tached at 3000rpm and that obviously increases as the speed increases. Has anyone ran into this before? I am planning on getting the transmission fluid flushed and changed but I don't know how long that will be. |

Replying to: sandybeach1 (Aug 18, 2009 10:59 am) Vitrually no electronics in a manual vs. lots in the automatic. Sounds like a clutch issue to me. I am not familiar with Focus Clutches, however I would think either: 1. Worn or shined clutch or pressure plate. 2. Clutch out of adjustment, either cable or linkage. Don't let a shop tell you there are no adjustments, just check them. BTW - Get the engine scanned just for safes sake and post back. GL D. |

Replying to: carvaz4611 (Aug 18, 2009 1:11 pm) On my '02 I know the "A" is middle passenger side, and that's all I know. Search posts for solenoid diagrams and you should be OK. Also check a couple online site for the diagram as well. Can't remember where I found it, if I do I'll post back. GL D. |

| I have been having the same issue w/ my 02 zx5 (slipping out of drive) then the other day my transaxle light comes on (still driving the vehicle) i get off my exit and it will not move, after shutting the vehicle off and restarting it i realize it will not go into any gear??? my question is could it be the solenoid or is the tranni shot? or something else, i am having my guy who rebuilds focus's run the diagnostics on it to see what codes come up. any advice on where to go would help, thanks. | |
