2008 Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi (110) Style DPF PowerShift (d-cl. 6) – Workshop Service & Repair Manual

1. Check Transmission Fluid Level: Begin by inspecting the transmission fluid level. Low fluid can cause shifting problems.
2. Inspect for Leaks: Look for any signs of transmission fluid leaks under your vehicle.
3. Reset the Transmission Control Module (TCM): Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to reset the TCM, which may resolve electronic-related gearbox issues.
4. Update or Reprogram TCM: Ensure your TCM has the latest software update by visiting a Ford dealership.
5. Replace the Clutch Pack: If the issue persists, consider replacing the clutch pack, as worn components may be the cause.

For more detailed instructions, including diagrams and torque specifications, download our Workshop Service & Repair Manual. It provides step-by-step guidance to help you fix gearbox issues efficiently.

1. Inspect the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): A clogged DPF can cause the engine to hesitate, leading to gear hunting. Clean or replace the DPF if necessary.
2. Check the Transmission Fluid Quality: Old or contaminated transmission fluid can cause erratic shifting. Drain and refill with fresh, manufacturer-recommended fluid.
3. Relearn Transmission Adaptations: Use a diagnostic tool to perform a transmission adaptation relearn procedure.
4. Inspect the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): A faulty TPS can cause gear hunting. Test and replace the TPS if needed.
5. Check for Fault Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to check for fault codes that might indicate the underlying issue.

Our manual includes a comprehensive guide on diagnosing and resolving gear hunting issues, complete with troubleshooting flowcharts and sensor testing procedures.

1. Inspect Engine Mounts: Worn or damaged engine mounts are a common cause of vibration. Replace any mounts that show signs of wear or damage.
2. Check the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF): A faulty DMF can cause vibrations. Inspect the flywheel for excessive play or damage.
3. Examine the Driveshaft: Check the driveshaft for imbalance or worn universal joints, which can also cause vibrations.
4. Balance the Wheels: Ensure all wheels are properly balanced, as imbalance can lead to vibrations, especially at low RPMs.
5. Inspect Exhaust System: Loose or damaged exhaust components can cause vibrations. Secure or replace any problematic parts.

For detailed instructions on how to diagnose and fix vibration issues, refer to our Workshop Service & Repair Manual, which offers step-by-step procedures with clear illustrations.

1. Check the Fuel Filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, leading to rough running. Replace the fuel filter if necessary.
2. Inspect the EGR Valve: A malfunctioning EGR valve can cause rough running. Clean or replace the valve as needed.
3. Examine the Turbocharger: Inspect the turbocharger for signs of wear or damage, including oil leaks or excess play in the turbine shaft.
4. Test the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor: A dirty or faulty MAF sensor can cause rough running. Clean the sensor or replace it if needed.
5. Check for Air Leaks: Inspect all intake hoses and connections for air leaks, which can lead to rough running under acceleration.

Our manual provides in-depth troubleshooting steps and maintenance tips for resolving rough running issues, ensuring your Ford C-Max accelerates smoothly.

1. Check Transmission Fluid Level and Quality: Low or old fluid can cause delayed gear changes. Top off or replace the fluid as necessary.
2. Inspect the Transmission Solenoids: Faulty solenoids can lead to delayed shifts. Test and replace any faulty solenoids.
3. Reprogram or Update the TCM: Ensure the TCM has the latest software updates to address any shift timing issues.
4. Clean the Transmission Valve Body: A dirty or clogged valve body can cause delayed shifts. Clean or replace the valve body if needed.
5. Perform a Transmission Adaptation Relearn: Use a diagnostic tool to recalibrate the transmission shift points.

Our Workshop Service & Repair Manual offers a complete guide on how to address delayed gear changes, including detailed procedures for checking and replacing key components.
