| Description of the problem | Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear when at speeds of 40 mph. Then sudden upshift to fourth than in limb mode. Found also that the transmission quick connect was leaking and lost all transmission fluid and no warning lights to let me know that all the fluid was missing. Ford told me that i required a new transmission but it took them a week to notice that transmission fluid was missing. They told me that they tighten up the quick connect and the leak may stop. Well, a day later still have the problem of upshifting and downshift at 3rd to fourth. All the fluid was missing again no warning lights. I replace lines and fuild and the upshift and down shift is gone but now have grinding of the thrid and fourth gear. |
