Tranny Issues
#1
So i found my self at ford once again after driving on the highways one morning.... I found that between 80 and 100 and 130 to 140 the engine hesitates and revs but dosent shift untill after it hesitates--- so i took it to ford and they said that they have had problems with the 2003 models in this situation..

Sooooo!!! They told me that the 2nd and 4th piston is having a problem ... the rubber on the piston head is rubbing/breaking off and jamming up in the tranny screen making the fluid work harder to get through the screen and they are also having probs with the solanoid to drive the piston..........

They are ordering a new piston - solanoid - screen - and possibly a clutching disc.
They also ran the tester on the car and its not throwing any codes..

So Ford knows there is a problem but is not advertising it..

Ill keep you posted on the results - thanks for listening
