Missing shifts lead to new Transmission

[pastorwug]

I would definitely call Ford's customer care and ask them if there's anything they could do to help you out, as it is just out of the powertrain warranty. They may surprise you. Years ago the helped me out with my 2013 raptor that was just out of warranty, although it was only an overpriced 3rd brake light.

Yes, I will do that.

That stinks with it being just out of warranty.

Its probably that drum recess that everyone talks about. Find someone who knows those transmissions and get a second opinion. You can get full rebuilds for 5 k with newest parts.

I was quoted $5k for the tranny and 19 hours to install. She said it would be about $7.3k
3 year warranty from Ford nationwide.

I did call Ford Customer service though, and they asked a lot of good questions and said that because the truck was only 3 weeks out of warranty that they would consider a "good will" benefit for my truck.
I'm not sure what that means, but at least they listened.
Customer Service rep James Sheffield was very nice.

If it's only 3 weeks and 5k miles out, I would hope they cover the majority of it. Like, maybe you pay $500, or something like that.
