2005 Ford Focus won’t shift

Asked by Charity Jan 26, 2018 at 12:17 AM about the 2005 Ford Focus ZX4 SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2005 Ford Focus has drove great up until now. It
won’t shift into 1-3 gear and 5th gear. It will only go
into 4th gear and reverse. When I try to get it to go
into first the shifter just falls back to neutral. I
checked he shift linkage and that wasn’t it. What do
you think it might be?
