Description of the problem | Similar to others grinding noise , clutch is slipping . Very bad in the beginning , grinding noise is coming just because the clutch is slipping . It is very annoying to drive this car in the city or on the hwy , will you pass someone with a slipping clutch ? Will you turn somewhere quick like right on red ? No . Is that safe ? No ford has its opinion , sounds like soon all cars will have a slipping clutch soon and that is normal after tbs update its little better but not enough . Your car is learning the way you drive !!!! Mmmmm how often have you seen a dry clutch doing better after it slips , never !!!! 2014 ford focus noticed the problem at 700 miles . Oil leakage maybe the problem , many people said that it is fine after seals replacement in the begging but not after . I am very mechanically included guy and i am thinking that there is something is wrong about the transmission shafts or crankshaft , no matter how many seals they will install , if those mentioned above are bent, not machined correctly or have a play the seals will always leak . In the result the oil will contaminate the clutch . |
