There have been a number of Tranny issues, but mostly 2003-2005's. You didn't indicate your year. There is an owner who went through hell with his for
3 years due to slipping. They changed
PCM's and a lot of other things, and he still had slippage. Here's his final message:
"But did that fix it...NOOOOOO...so Ford had me bring the car back in for another black-box run...ran some new testing and Ford then wanted me to bring it in for a tranny tear down...bottom line, they couldn't figure out why the tranny sporadically was slipping b/t 3rd & 4th. The teardown happened this week.
Picked it up yesterday - Ford had them replace torque convertor, servo pistons and overdrive band, clutches and then set to minimal clearance of
.051 at Ford's suggestion."
Not sure if this helps, but its information.......BTW, if you have aftermarket warranty, this is a drive train issue. I don't see how they can deny it as a claim.
Before you take it in, get your policy and read it thoroughly so you can have a better understanding what you have.
Let us know.
