Hi all,
I have a 2017 Ford Focus SE with 105k miles, automatic. Today when accelerating to get onto the freeway my car's engine went really high on the RPM's quickly, shook violently back and forth, and there was a loud snapping sound. This was immediately followed by a check engine light and a notification to pull over and wait 5 minutes due to the Transmission overheating. I took it into the mechanic and they scanned it and came back with PO809-00, Clutch Position Sensor A "Circuit Interrupted, Not Current DTC Warning Lamp On." They said they don't work on transmissions but gave me the name and phone number of a Transmission shop who could work on it.
How expensive would it be to get this fixed? Considering the price of cars today, is it worth it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
These cars are notorious for transmission problems. I would not consider spending money on the transmission repairs on these cars since they are very complex and most of the time, the rebuild process is not done correctly.
Thank you for the reply Yaser, I'm thinking that's the way I'm going to have to go too. Best,
Alec
