In this video I go over the procedure for replacing a clutch actuator motor on a Ford DPS6 transmission. The information shared in this video can also be used for Ford Fiestas that are equipped with the DPS6 transmission as well, (process for getting to the actuators on the Fiesta varies from the Focus and is not gone over in this video.).

The DPS6 transmission is equipped with two clutch actuator motors, A & B. Clutch actuator motor A can be found on top of the transmission just to the left of the battery box and rearward of the air inlet tube going to the throttle body. Clutch actuator motor B can be found just underneath the transmission rearward of the radiator. Once the splash shield is removed the actuator is easily located.

Note: Please verify torque specifications in your repair manual. Also, if you are working on a Ford Fiesta the procedure, as far as getting to the actuator motor, varies a bit from the Focus. Also, the model year range that this information is applicable to for the Fiesta may be slightly different from the Focus. Verify information is applicable to your vehicle by doing your own research.

Warning: Vehicle should be off and in park with the parking brake applied before beginning repair to prevent vehicle rolling forward or backwards. If clutch actuator motor B is to be replaced then the vehicle will need to be lifted. Please refer to your owners manual and repair manual for information on how to do this properly and safely. Instructions on how to properly lift and support your vehicle not shared in this video.

Here is a link to the play list for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus 2.0L equipped with DPS6 transmission:
