66 Plate 1.0 Ecoboost Ford Fiesta Clutch/Gear Issues

[Jayboy35]

Hi all. I have an issue and am not sure what could be wrong. My 2016 Fiesta is having clutch and gear problems. Does anyone know what this could be. Tonight, I was driving home, and I was in 2nd gear clutch down then was applying gas after selecting the gear . There was no power, and the car was juddering a little. I rolled to a stop put into neutral, and the stop started kicked in. The car went off, I put clutch down, and it came back on, then was fine again. In the past, I have had intermittent issues with the clutch being down, and the car then tries to pull off in gear while clutch in down. Can anyone advise what could be the issue? Thank you.

This may be from two different conditions.

One being the "Gimbals" for the Shifter - being X and Y - these two actions - their forces are converted and magnified down at the Shifter assembly - the black box that houses the cables that go to the shifter assembly - where X is one direction and Y is another direction.

The problem it sounds like you have a stuck bushing - for the 2nd Gear ad Reverse Gear are "extreme ends" and might be binding due to a pivot point on one of the Gimbals is corroding and rusted making it stiff.



You'll have to remove the cover to the shifter so you can get at the circlip and put some oil on the posts the shifter rocks back and forth on - (see the rust on that piece? that clip is where it holds onto the post) this may help ease that shifter binding you're encountering.

You can also search more on this in our forums...

The other may be from a Clutch piston - but it doesn't seem to affect any other gears. So try the above first.
