Today it went right from 6 to 1. If you own a vehicle without a transmission dipstick and you are experiencing transmission-related issues, please. We need to make arrangements now to get our Nissan back to Sudbury. Transmission also shutter at 30 mph. I want to see what the level looks like after I get it really warmed up driving. I am only looking at doing everything because when I called the stealer they mentioned all driveline fluids.
We recommend this for several reasons. The Stealer flushed it and charged me 247. We can help you identify the problem and figure out a game plan to get you back on the road. As a result, the vehicle jerked and skidded on the road. The transmission has a relatively low 1st gear and two overdrive gears, the highest of which is 0. The 6R80 can be found behind the 3. The capacity is for a total of 13.
As it turned out many are unsure of the whole filter setup inside. Now I have a vehicle that I don't know I feel safe in, and Ford seems to feel there isn't an issue, but I see numerous posts on the internet of similar situations. The Stealer flushed it and charged me 247. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this new dipstick-free trend. Fortunately the road was dry and I gained control and moved the vehicle safely off the road, however my concern is it doesn't sound like they are 100% sure that this was the cause, and even if it is, how do I know it won't happen again in the future.
The failure mileage was approximately 1,580. I feel this is a huge safety issue, and we were lucky we didn't get into a more serious accident. While sitting on a hill, the vehicle rolled backwards. Often times so hard it chips the tires. Todays problem scared the crap put of me. Checking the fluid will tell you if the fluid is low and the condition of the fluid. Ford claims this is normal operation of this transmission.
I hope this information helps. Ford is aware of this problem but alleges that it cannot do anything until the software issue is repaired. It will drop the fluid out of the rear of the pan and hopefully into your catch pan. The computer system within the vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. I am looking to change my front and rear diff fluid as well as my transfer case fluid on my 2010 f150. There is also no way for the consumer to add fluid if it is low.
The best thing to do is measure how much comes out so you know how much to put back. I purchased a Ford because they are supposed to be safe and dependable. For example, adding improper fluid to the transmission is actually detrimental to its life, which is why manufacturers decided that getting rid of the dipstick was one way to prevent premature, owner-induced transmission failure in new vehicles. I just recently had this service done at the dealer; and they botched it. They make an aftermarket one, but it's not right at least the one I got my hands on. Although due to my dealer's screw-up, I ended up with two weeks of difficulties and a new torque converter; but, with it all behind me, this was still a good decision to have done.
If you do the change, you will probably need 7-8qts depending on how much comes out. Its always better to stay out of any sealed transmission, transaxle or transfer case unless absolutely needed, anytime you open the case or drop the pan you have a chance for dirt or other debris to get in there, thats why I'm waiting til closer to 100k to do mine, I Just check the dipstick on the trans every so often and inspect fluids to see how they look. We had no choice but to take the long scenic route through Algonquin Park! The contact stated that while driving 5 mph the vehicle jerked forward and began to vibrate. Ford is not concerned but I am very concerned. I drove for a little while longer and pulled over called roadside assist and had it towed to my local dealership. You can always get it done at the dealer, but I like saving the couple extra bucks and enjoy getting a little grease under my finger nails and do maintenance myself.
For the 2011 model year, the transmission was revised to provide smoother shifts, improved fuel economy, and overall better shift performance. This provides exceptional towing performance when needed, while maximizing fuel economy by offering low engine speeds while cruising. . Because now there is no way for the consumer to check the condition or the level of the automatic transmission fluid. The transmission slams between gears, at times the 4 wheel drive seems to engage when going around a corner. My question is this, is it a fairly simple drain and fill procedure or will it require a bit more labour? Just tell them you need the filter and gasket for the change. And I had it running 15 minutes while I was pumping the fluid in.
The oil and the pan magnet is usually very clean. I would recommend having the dealer do the service. I'm not sure what I should do other then the transmission flush? As it turned out many are unsure of the whole filter setup inside. Thank god no one was behind me or they would have plowed me. The current mileage was approximately 3,000.
There is no fix for the problem. I was cruising down the road at 70 mph when my truck shifted down from 6th gear to 1st. My question is does it need to be flushed or just drained and refilled with a filter change? The stealer says I drive under sever conditions but according to the manual I do none of the sever things except the trailer tow which is minimal. I had the vehicle towed to a local Ford dealership, and with the help of Ford techs, they feel the issue was the transmission immediately dropped from 6th gear down to 1st gear. I got pulled over and started my engine, everything was fine. Having this knowledge could potentially save you thousands of dollars down the road, not to mention the unwanted hassle.
