So about 3 weeks ago I got a new tranny courtesy of Ford. But this one is not quite right also. Intead of rebuilding my old tranny they just warrantied it out and ordered a new one for me. My car has 34600 or so which means I don't have long to decide what to do. My problem is this tranny whines so bad in second gear that I can hear it over the radio and exhaust at WOT. Now I would just normally take it back to the dealer but my local dealer is a sob. So I had all the work done 3 hours away.

I guess my real question is am I just being paranoid or does this tranny have issues as well. I don't have time or really the money to get it up to the dealer ship due to some recent snow storm damage that was done to my house and took away my cushion at the bank.


Now the noise has almost gone away in the rest of the gears but still very loud in second. Third and fourth still have kind of a rough shift but are bearable. Am I being too cautious or do I need to drop everything and get this car back to the dealer asap?

Because they fixed it under warranty, go ahead and take it back and have them do it again. Make sure that the tranny you get has the "fix" done. Also, if the problem can't be resolved by the dealer make sure there is the proper ammount of fluid in the trans. Dealers tend to over/underfill transmissions. The proper fluid is synthetic ATF fluid, Mobil 1 is good stuff.

Yeah, check fluid. If it's still ****ed up take it back. Those are not normal conditions.
