It is used to drive
I have the same problem!
i have 2003 ford ex cape and my ford ex cape i cant get the shifter to go into gear what possibly could be wrong
i have a ford focus 1.8 petrol S reg. When i put it into reverse gear it jumps out what is the problem please ?
First gear and drive slowly
Because you're NOT supposed to be in 5th gear at 35mph.
over-drive... take it its an auto On the gear selector handle, there is a button. Pushing that button will turn the Over drive off (light is on) or turn it on (light is off). This allows it to leave 3rd gear, and will put less wear on the engine and transmission at a speed of about 45 or higher.
The shifter linkage is loose or the drive gear is worn out.
On a 2007 Ford Focus : That is the " upshift " light To maximize fuel economy , when the light comes on shift to the next higher gear
Put your foot on the BRAKE first.
First check the gear oil in the transmission. If low top it up. If correct take the unit out and drive until the transmission is warm. (about 20-30 min) Then change the gear oil. Fresh gear oil may improve the shifting.
presume you are talking about a auto box the o/d light states weather the over drive is on or not when lit the overdrive is off the button is under the gear leaver handle cheers graham
If a Ford Focus is stuck in park, you should first check to make sure the gear is not stuck. You also need to make sure you have your foot on the brake in order to move it out of park.
