I find I can never get my trans over 180 while driving. Any tips?Start by checking the fluid level. It’s very easy to under or overfill these transmissions, and you’ll end up with the symptoms of erratic shifting and engagement as well as overheating.
The transmission fluid needs to be 206-215 degrees F as verified by the gauge or a scan too before taking a reading. If it’s at average operating temp (175-195) it will read low, resulting in overfilling and aerated fluid.
Normal driving that’s normal. Towing 4000 uphill I only get to 210I find I can never get my trans over 180 while driving. Any tips?
I would be okay with reman. Still waiting for details from the warranty company.Do you mean remanufactured? Surly not a junk yard trans. I’d still want a new factory one.
A lot of times aftermarket warranty companies will source the lowest cost part, which could be from a low mileage wreck. Their warranty terms allow quite a lot of leeway in their favor. Read the fine print before going too much further. I’ve had both mfgr ESP and aftermarket and mfgr is far superior. at least a reman. through the mfgr ESP, like @FordTechOne said, will have all the current parts.I would be okay with reman. Still waiting for details from the warranty company.
#FactsI wouldn’t mind paying the difference and then I will promptly look into a prorated refund for the remaining mileage on the warranty to make up the difference. I should’ve just gone with Ford ESP
