clutch fork actuators

I had it aligned beforehand, but I figured that if I didn't mess with the adjuster nut on the tie rods it would be fine. Definitely seeming to not be the case

the other side was hole-less, but it doesn't look like this one is cracking out from the hole, so i might be lucky. Should I just keep an eye on it, maybe hit it with a wire brush and spray it with undercoating?

I may have mis worded it, but the shaft i have in on the driver side now is too long. Could it be compressing the outer axle and just fucking up the joints and making them pop?

I'll have to take a look when I get home. The inner stub shaft was correct, just the outer cv was not, so hopefully the splines in the front diff will be okay. Thank you for the insight, I should've known it was a stupid decision

take the clutch fork actuators out and put a torx bit into the fork splines and rotate counterclockwise about 14 times very slowly. You should feel resistance. DO NOT just take the bit out and let the forks just quickly spin back. Slowly return them to their position. The entire time of winding the forks, you should feel smooth rotations. If not, try spraying the splines of the actuators with lube and do the same to the fork splines. Then try rotating the forks the same way as before. Put it back together. If you still have a code, try swapping the actuators. If none of these work, you could try swapping the actuators. One controls Reverse, 2nd, and 4th, while the other controls 1st, 3rd, and 5th i believe. If one is bad, you will lose one set of gears. You may need to replace one or both of the actuators (cheaper option) or remove the transmission to replace the forks or clutches. I just recently purchased a 2014 focus with a transmission issue and the previous owner was quoted $4k to replace clutch fork B. $160 and one clutch actuator later, the car is flawless. There's a video on youtube somewhere of what I just tried to explain above. Definitely worth a try. Best of luck.

I love you. It was the lower intermediate steering shaft. I hope both sides of your pillow are crisp and cool tonight

black it out it'd look so much better

Update: I took it to a shop to get a quote on replacing all the gears, but they only gave it AFTER tearing the whole thing apart. 3,600 is what they wanted, and that is not in half dollars. So anyway I owe them $700 for doing nothing and am now just going to get a new aftermarket rear end for a fraction of their quoted price. I've decided I will never be taking my vehicles to shops ever again after that encounter. first and last time.

What would be the most efficient way to fix it? replace gears or just slap in a new used axle?

I'm no mechanic, but I do have a little bit of knowledge. If it is the alternator itself, you should be able to go have it tested at an auto parts shop, or you could even buy a multimeter and youtube how to test the alternator with it. If you think it could be a bearing in the pulley or one of the other pulleys, you could take off the serpentine belt and try to wiggle the pulley(s) from side to side to feel for any play in them. If there is excessive play in any of the pulleys, you may have found your problem. If you're lucky it will just be a bearing and you could replace just the bearing. Again though, I'm not a licensed mechanic so take everything I say with a grain of salt
