I know there is a thread on this already but for some reason I couldn't post on it.
My 2012 Ford Focus Titanium clutch just gave up, I have 148k miles on the car. The car has had 2 recall on the transmission since I bought it. Ford changed the TCM 2 times, got stuck on the freeway 3 times with the car going in neutral while driving at 70 mph....
Anyway, the dealer cost to replace the clutch with 2 new actuators and the back seal is $2500... not cover under the extended 10/150k warranty.
I have decided to do the work myself....lot's of surprises!
I had to get a OTC puller to remove the clutch, get a VCM II to reprogram the TCM with the new clutch and the ford diagnostic software.
The new clutch was $369 with new c-clips and lubricant, the VCM II cost $130 (from a chinesse web site) The OTC puller was $410+ shipping through ford parts website. So fare I will be saving a lot of money but I am not calculating my time!
Ill keep you guys updated on this work as I have just removed the transmission out of the car.
Hope this help in getting you guys informed.
