Thanks for making the video. My wife just lost all her gears and I knew it was probably a linkage issue. Watched your video, found the plastic cover took it off and there you go exactly like your video. Very very much appreciated you taking the time to show us that, now I will fix it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I copied what you did with tube & washers I had & it has cost me nothing. My car is back on the road after only 1 day off the road. No sweaty long bus journey to work on Monday now ! Thanks again.
This will eventualy come off. First thing you wanna do is to lubricate everything with silicone grese. And to lock the "bushing" in place you'll need a small zip tie... pui it the little groove where the old clip sits and done! Did this 5 years ago on my Fiesta (you can find a video on youtube from galerio995, thant's me) and never had a problem from since!
Just went to do a g/box oil change .. saw exactly that and was like why aren't you connected properly.!? So prolly saved me a roadside fix 😁 thankyou Sir 😎
Have the exact same issue on an 06 WP WQ Mk5 Fiesta. Got stuck on the main highway on ramp going from 2nd to 3rd. Literally just came from an inspection 20 mins before at a mechanic for rego, oil+filter change and a general inspection. Can't believe they didn't say anything to me about it.
Hi 👋 issues with my fiesta engages all gears nice easy but 2nd gear seems to be a bit hit and miss some times will go in ok some times won't any suggestion mine a 2012 don't know if same
Hi Maui, definitely worth popping the cover off and checking the linkages and ends, but also know that 2 gear syncromesh rings have been known to wear and cause difficulty selecting 2nd gear in fiestas. Can usually be diagnosed by making a gentle hange into 2nd at fairly low speeds, if it goes in ok at low speeds but hard to select when making fast shifts at higher revs, it could be synco ring wear issue.
Surprisingly, the slop was noticeable but not significant. I have a similar model and I will have to check / fix mine now because I think it feels about the same as Scott's used to be.

Same issue on my focus ib5 gearbox. Fixed the same way as you but used an e-clip to finish the job. Love an easy fix

Perfect video Mat. Really got me out of trouble with a roadside fix.
Hey Dominic, so glad it helped you out. Seems to be a VERY common problem.

Thanks for your video
I did almost going my car away
Glad it helped
Well that must have taken some slop out of the gearstick

Un carro tan costoso no debería dejar de funcionar por algo tan elemental, mal por Ford.
Regalame el número del retenedor
Sorry, I don't have a number. These were just parts I had already.
you have just saved me a lot of money thanks
