2018 Ford Raptor tranny shifting problems.

[Muchmore]

Have a 2019 raptor and took it out on my first long trip to oregon and transmission died on me at 39k miles, heard a big bang and from there trans started grinding. Have it towed to closest ford shop and they claim it needs a new trans and transfer case total cost 13,500. Truck still at the shop and truck is out of watranty any comments or suggestions? Thanks

Uh, needs new trans and transfer case is a big one. I think just a little more info would be needed before I sell my first born to cover the repairs.

This is your first post; we have no history on you or the vehicle.

Did you buy new or used? What’s the maintenance history? And previous transmission repairs or service? Any modifications?

Mine has the Hard 3rd gear shift which I have seen as an issue on others.

is it common for 5th and 8th gear to have the most issues?

You guys are out in left field looking for the ball. The 2018 Raptor did have a few annoying shifting issues, but nothing other than odd annoyance. Mine had an “extra-firm” 1-2 shift because I tuned it with MPT not long after purchase. The 2019 version trans firmware is much better and Cobb Tuning and maybe others use it as the baseline in ALL their trans tunes. My 2018 has had the 2019 oem Ford version since January 2019, so I drove it for the first year on the 2018 oem Ford version. Anyway, I recommend a Goose tune and forget it.
