Why does my Ford Focus make a loud clunking noise when shifting gears?

I recently bought a used Ford Focus and I've noticed that it makes a loud clunking noise whenever I shift gears. I'm concerned that this could be a sign of a larger problem. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Emma, this could be a sign of a transmission issue. It could be caused by worn out transmission mounts or a problem with the gear synchronizers. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to get it checked out.

I experienced the same issue with my Ford Focus and it turned out to be a loose driveshaft. It's an easy fix but definitely get it checked out, as it could cause bigger problems if left unchecked.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Focus and it turned out to be an issue with the shifting cables. They had become worn out and needed to be replaced. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to get a professional opinion.
