Are you by chance using your phone to look at the pdf's. I had better luck on my windows computer with the name changing and it working. The phone, not so much.
You have an example pdf that isn't working for you that I can test?

Did they say how long your transmission would take to come in? I haven't heard anything from my dealer yet on when it will be completed. They sent me to Hertz rent a car with a ten day voucher but plan on extending it.
I used this site: https://www.factory-manuals.com/ford-bronco&28&503
It looks a little sketchy, and asks you for vehicle specific details like your VIN to author the PDF for each trim/spec, but it worked well.
Essentially, the service manual used by mechanics is a web app, and is NOT a PDF document. Any PDF export is going to look kinda weird with odd formatting, this one is no exception. All of the important information and procedures are there though.
edit: the PDF export is like 400mb which overwhelms most PDF reader apps, especially the Files app on iOS. I use Adobe Acrobat on iOS and it works well enough and loads pretty quick.
Well I've been waiting 7 weeks. But the few parts that are missing at this point aren't the full transmission but that still took a month

No repair details yet. The technician was still āentering/submitting the orderā with Ford when I left. Iāll know more by tomorrow or Monday.
I think Ford is more interested in minimizing a class action suit. In relation to some other quality issues I've experienced with my Bronco, based on some of the communications I have received in the last few days from both the dealership and the obnoxious bots who keep inserting themselves into quality conversations here, Ford could not possibly care less about the perceptions of individual buyers or after sales are finalized, the overall quality of the vehicles they produce.
I called my local Ford dealership (Pallota Ford in Wooster, OH) to set up an appointment to have them listen to the transmission and document the noise. He first tried to tell me the grinding noise was most likely just the oil āwarming upā. I told him about the known manual transmission issue and TSB. He then told me that since I didnāt buy it there it was there local company policy to send me back to where I purchased it (1 hour 45 minutes away). He said he didnāt want to look at it in case Ford wouldnāt reimburse them.
It is bad enough to have a $50k vehicle with a transmission problem but then to be denied service under warranty adds to what seems deceitful. My car made the noise on day 2 and has only 300 miles and is getting g worse.

I tried phone and 7zip on PC.
Couldn't get many of the manual transmission ones to open. Disassembly and assembly of subassembly doesn't seem to open. I've renamed knock them down to as little as a single word and still won't open.

I keep hearing this. I thought you had the right to take your vehicle anywhere you want. Them denying service sounds like they aren't upholding their end of their ford commitment but apparently it's their right? Call ford customer service.

Sorry if this has been asked on this somewhere, I couldnāt find it with search.
Have there been cases where there were sounds followed by the rig not working? Iāve had my manual for 2 weeks and have the grinding sound. It looks like a lot of people have had their transmission replaced and still have the noise. If itās just the sound, Iāll hold off on losing my new bronco for a month+. If there are cases where it stopped working, thatās a whole other story.

In assembly, I renamed to Transmission.pdf and in disassembly, I renamed to Tranny.pdf. They both now work.
The only one I couldn't get to work was the installation one.

I believe there are 3 of us that have come forward more recently to report performance issues, grinding on 2nd gear itself and high REV for seemingly no reason while coasting for myself. Dealer deemed mine unsafe for those issues. That said for most it's just the noise. IMO never heard a noise on a car that ultimately didn't worse in symptoms later. My 2 cents
