My wife says she'll "never buy another Ford". Its also quite a pity that Ford will no longer pay a few thousand dollars to fix such a glaring error. It wouldn't surprise me to see a good one go a million miles - there's really nothing to wear out. I was amazed to see so many parts inside my old one that looked "like new" even though it had made noise for tens of thousands of miles and had all those wear particles and broken teeth flying around in there. I never use L anymore! Its all such a pity since the transmission looks like quite a nice design. I remember such a jerk happening once or so when, IIRC, coming to a stop after using L (motor braking). Another possibility is that a sudden jerk or reverse torque from a motor might have popped something loose. I still think the shaft uses press-fit assembly and either the design or manufacturing wasn't quite right - the fit wasn't tight enough. all the corners of teeth sheared off on one side of one gear!.a hole worn completely through the side of the case (!) by the end of the shaft.deep internal wear groves just like shown in the TSB.When was the first transmission replaced? I certainly hope that no one received a replacement that didn't have the problem corrected.Īs to bad fluid, I doubt that was the cause (at least not in my case) since something obviously shifted out of place on the transfer shaft that caused Just wondering if they had substandard fluid installed in the early years that accelerated transmission wear. If yes, then how many people have had 2 transmissions replaced? Is it possible the replacement transmission you received is still one of the bad batches? Well, upside is you have an exhange unit to use till this one gets fixed.Lets say you have a 2013 cmax that had a new transmission in 2014 or 2015. With a factory repai maunal, clams, puller, and a press, you can do it yourself. Easy to do if you understand how it works, but confusing if you dont. Then there is the shift interlock system. You will need a bearing seperater (sometimes called a clam) and pull the main shaft apart to do the synchors. Toughest part would be removing 5th from the tail end of the output, and where the rest comes apart can be tricky. Otherwise, they are completely interchangeable. But I have noticed one has 6 balls, other uses 7 balls in the bearings. The 2 bearings that fail usuaily is the front input and the large rear of the mainshaft. On the upside i've i'll take the spare tranny in and then pull the locked up one when i'm ready to put the repaired one in.īy the way, is 400 reasonable for this kind of work?I dont know why it would be stuck in 4th, but it would have to come apart, either way. I don't have an FSM and i don't know if i'd have all the pullers, most but probably not all. Is it worth just paying the 400 or can i save 300 by doing it myself? Also does anyone have the FSM portiong of the manual to do this or will i find it in the haynes manual? How hard would it be to replace input bearing myself? I know i've got the tools and mechanical capabilities but i've never opened the black box of a tranny. Tranny shop says its the input bearing that's shot $400 to rebuild if i bring it in. Ever try starting out in 4th? talk about breaking in the new clutch. after i got off the highway i only had a block to go to park it at work. shifter will not move out of 4th pulled pushed jiggled and jammed, nothing. Then i got on the highway for the second time. Everything was going working smooth, real slight grind that i thought was the new disc wearing in. The part alone doesn’t cost much, especially if you purchase an aftermarket throw-out bearing, costing between 10 and 30. bolted it all back together and drove it around to wear it in. On average, expect to spend 400 to 1,500 to replace the throw-out bearing, with the majority of that cost going toward labor. Tore the old clutch out: new flywheel, pilot bearing, disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing, slave cylinder, and plastic shift ball on shifter. sounded like the throw out bearing making noise. I had a grind coming from the transmission and thought it was the clutch going out again. The average cost for a Transmission Replacement is between 5,266 and 5,469.
