According to maintenance schedule, transmission was flushed and filled approx. 30k. Now, with approx 41K, tranny is giving rough shifts in/out of 3rd gear. According to my mechanic, this should not be happening, but there is a Service letter out on this.
Anyone know more about this situation? Car is out of warranty and cost of tranny repairs is out of sight. Help!
Thanks!
Chris

i see a lot of exp. with this problem.i replace the pressure solinoid pack and add a bottle of the ford trans additive that the tsb you talked about describes.i also reset the internediate and overdrive bands and relearn the pressure stratagy.this will fix 95% of the vehicles.the solinoid that sontrols the 2-3 shift sticks and forced high line pressure trys to overcome the sticking solinoid and that is why the trans shifts hard into third.the solinoid cost around 200$ plus the fluid and labor,wich is around 3 hours.good luck

 

Thanks, l-m tech.
Don't totally understand everything you wrote (definitely a driver and not a mechanic), but will pass this along to my Goodyear guys. I'm going to talk to a Ford sales rep today, a friend, and find out what, if anything, Ford is willing to do for me on this. Thanks again for the advice and suggestions. You're great!

 

sorry for being to technical,my boss tells me that all the time,hopfully you get it fixed
