Why is my Ford Focus experiencing transmission issues?

I've been noticing a delay in shifting gears and some jerking movements while driving my Ford Focus. Is there a common cause for this issue and what should I do?

It's possible that your transmission fluid needs to be changed. I would recommend taking it to a certified mechanic to have it checked and possibly flushed.

I had the same issue with my Ford Focus and it turned out to be a faulty shift solenoid. Make sure to have it inspected by a professional.

I suggest checking your transmission control module. It could be failing and causing your transmission to act up. Replacement may be necessary.
