What are the common transmission issues in the Ford Fiesta?

I've been having trouble shifting gears in my Ford Fiesta lately. Sometimes, it gets stuck in neutral and won't move at all. Other times, I feel a jerking motion when changing gears. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Maria, thank you for reaching out. One common transmission issue in the Ford Fiesta is a faulty transmission control module. This can cause difficulties in shifting gears or even lead to complete transmission failure. It's important to bring your car to a certified mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair. Additionally, keeping up with regular transmission fluid changes can also prevent transmission problems.

Hey Maria, I had a similar issue with my Ford Fiesta and it turned out to be a faulty clutch. If you notice any unusual noises or difficulty in engaging or disengaging the clutch, it may need to be replaced. I recommend consulting with a trusted mechanic to properly diagnose and repair the issue.

Hi Maria, I have a Ford Fiesta as well and have experienced gear shifting problems in the past. One thing that helped was adjusting the shift linkage. It's a simple fix that can be done by yourself or a mechanic. Try checking the shift linkage and see if it needs adjusting or replacing.
