But to confirm it is the updated version, he should be able to look at the tag which would read MB3Z-7003-AB correct?

The 7/3 date and number lines up with what the service advisor told me, so I think I'll stop worrying haha. Thanks for posting all the info and being so helpful.
Yes once it arrives if it shows AB on the transmission tag (or the dealership says it is -E for the service part number) it is the updated transmission.
Holy shit we did it. Someone wake up |3lackrose he’s not going to believe it
Sorry if I overlooked this, but what is determining whether someone gets replacement rings vs a new transmission? Mine goes back in on Monday for them to look at the shifting issue that started after they replaced my rings...

The TSB should be performed on every one of them now that 2023 is included.
The only exception would be if additional damage is found internally while completing the TSB. Then the TSB would no longer apply. At that point a full assembly could potentially be the repair.

I just got word that my 22 Badlands MT is going to have the TSB done, and they corrected me saying it is now TSB 23-2019. I was surprised after keeping up with this forum for all this time that they knew something I didn’t. But was grateful to see the update listed on here as well. Thrilled to get this taken care of.
They also said that the parts are not nearly as backordered as I would have thought. Should be done in the next couple weeks!
They’re letting me take it home today and bring it back once all the parts are in. I will double check the parts numbers when they get here, just in case.
Selfishly I’m glad I waited to have it done until it seemed like there was an actual fix… However, I am very grateful for those of you who have had your bronco in the shop for months and months just so that Ford knew it was an issue and did something about it. Let me say it again, to those of you who have suffered so I didn’t have to.
THANK YOU!

I don’t think that doc is ever updated. The guy that made it was a clown and has since been banned. From what we’ve seen so far, the updated parts seem to be working for everyone so far.

Sorry to ask something that may have already been discussed. Has Ford mentioned if there was any kind "build date switchover" where new 2023 models are already built with the updated parts/synchros?
No but you can confirm which you have by looking at the tag on the transmission. If it ends in AB, you have the latest revision.

I just picked up my Bronco, April 18 build and I lucked out with the new transmission.
Almost 1800 miles so far and no noticeable noise. Coldest days were a couple of mornings in the 50's now it won't see below 70 for a while.
It's been a while since I did the trail ride and test drive, but it does seem "stiffer" and 5th is slightly hard to engage at times. Otherwise no issues of concern and I hope it stays that way!
