Really not sure, was all in pieces on table
That is false. I just logged in and there is no superseded bulletin and all of the parts list is the same with the same numbers. You've been lied to lol
Kinda what I expected and exactly why I asked here. Thanks dude.
Hate to say this, but is it possible the "fix" is basically - figure some owners will not notice, and for those who do notice, install some "new same" parts, to kind of kick the can down the road, until drivetrain warranty is over? Hope that doesn't happen, but probably some actuary is on it weighing the cost benefit.
I dont see how when the concern returns so quickly. If this bought maybe 25k miles until return, I would say maybe. But this comes back inside of a week. That's hardly even a fix.
Well in these situations, the actuaries sit down and run the numbers.
I guess we'll see what happens.
Yeah it's not great, but important to note no one has had transmission failure due to this issue. So there is time for Ford and the engineers at Getrag/Magna to figure it out and get us the fix we need.Thanks for the video - this is the first time I was able to hear the sound. Ugh. I thought maybe it was just a loud trans and so no big deal, but I don't want to be hearing that stirring/scraping noise, or thinking about what it might mean down the road out of warranty whenever I start up the vehicle in the cold.
I'm buying new NOT to have issues. Or worst case if there is an issue, a solid fix. Trans is a major component not some lux extra on the fritz. WTH? I would have gone V6/auto had I known about this situation.
Some additions to this post from yesterday. I woke up early this morning (stupid cat) and it was well below freezing last night so I had ample time to fuss around with this.
Again, this doesn’t really show anything. Some people still think and want the transmission swapped and think that’s part of the TSB. I’m still waiting for my dealer to call me back saying the parts are in, but I’ll try to post actual details and not a random screenshot.
This actually says it all. Not to mention I know fellow techs have done the TSB and the vehicles are back. Cold hard facts. The TSB was completed as outlined and the noise was not fixed. What more do you need? Copy of workorder?
Plenty of reports of the TSB not solving anything. We have done the TSB twice at my dealer, both back making the same noise. Nothing has been changed. The TSB parts are identical to the failed parts. The transmissions being replaced are also the exact same and still have the same faulty parts in them.
Update: the noise is back and it’s especially loud with the cold weather. Pretty lame since I went through the trouble of getting a new transmission approved and installed. I’ll wait to bring it back until there is an actual fix.
I’ve had it pop a few times but figured it was just a screwup by me.
My thought exactly. I picked the 2.3 for 7MT. Would have been safer picking a 2.7 auto even with the value drop scenario surround on those early on.Thanks for the video - this is the first time I was able to hear the sound. Ugh.
