4 Parts?

psnous said:

I dunno, my UAW rep said there were other parts besides the 4 listed and that's why the TSB isn't out yet, waiting for the parts to be in stock.

Can you tell me what the 4 parts are and part numbers if you have them. I would like to show them to my dealer as they claim the only part available is #2R3Z*7230*AA Shift Fork Assembly. Just got my 01 back for the 3rd time. All they did was to drain the fluid and replace with Mercon ATF at the lowered level. (note to group: when is lowering the level of fluid considered fixing a grinding problem. in the future to check the fluid level, you or someone will have to drain the fluid and measure, not just remove the plug and see if it is up to the hole. If you sell the car and someone who is unaware of the problem goes by the owners manual will think you ripped them when the grinding starts! Just a Thought) Thanks for any information you can give.

Wow what a lot of reading....

jprez (or anyone from Dallas area for that matter:

What dealership did you take your car to? I went to Grand Prarie Ford yesterday, I was also told middle to late March due to some kind of emergency part delay. According to the svc. mgr there is also another part that isnt on the 4 parts shown. My dealership was willing to do the work under warranty, the agreed the to 1 to 2 clunk was not normal behavior.

New Tranny

Well, after 3 weeks of scheduling nightmares, I finally got my car to the dealer yesterday for my new tranny. In my earlier post, I mentioned that I took my car to the dealer to complain of the 1-2 shift grind and without hesitation they agreed to replace the transmission. I picked it up tonight and I could immediately tell a difference in the "feel" of the shifts. It is supposed to be in the 30's tonight so I will get a good test in the morning if the problem is gone. Till then...

Hey dtown - I went to North Central Ford in Richardson. Very good service department there.

i have had my tranny fix and or REBUILT 3 TIMES now, im at 33,000 miles, i tried , changing to mcloed clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing, steeda tr3650 stifter, redline trannyfluid. nothing helps just wish there was a tranny upgrade for syncros, or anything im sic or it. i Love my stang to peices but only love and hate is the tranny. Almost concidering putting in a t-56 in but pricey may be worth it makes all my chevy fans always ask where your stang more repairs, its not funny anymore. i get a complete hault going into third alot now mean going in for the forth time for this
This tranny me too many times

mine is f'ed up to for the fourth time, with still only exhaust mods and CAI and haven't been to the track in over a year. 22,000 miles. I'm patiently waitng for the TSB and not driving it unless I have too as it won't hardly go in second gear and has a bad whining noise now too.
