| Description of the problem | the torque converter went out without any kind of notice, no noise , no slippage. It was pulling it self real good then just quit. In the long run of getting it fixed, it costs us almost $2000. 00. The transmission pump went out at the same time causing other problems, hence, rebuilding the whole transmission. Heard that ford new about the problem and didn't want to fix it cause it is a high dollar repair making them money. |
