Fords new fix for Shudder for Ranger Tremor...

[ControlNode]

Smoothest drive shaft I ever had, the OE one in the 1967 Lincoln Continental. Worst driveshaft to replace the u-joints on, also the 1967 Lincoln Continental. 4 u-joints, with centering bearings at the front and back of the shaft.

Oh man. Is there anything on the Ranger that's good to go from the factory?

In my case, just the driver?

I have had absolutely no issues with the passenger side floor mat.

Sounds about right. As for me, I'm in love with my center console armrest except when that sharp edge catches my funny bone.

Those had double Cardin joints, the back of the trans pointed down so far that's all they could do to keep it smooth, miserable U joint servicing.

I have almost 30k miles on my 21 Tremor and it has been perfect. It has not been on the dealer property since I drove it off.

So I just changed my filter and changed to a PPE pan and I 100% believe they are not servicing the transmission to the correct level out of the factory. Two days in and no shuttering

2021 Tremor and I do not have a shudder issue.

By now the Beancounters would have handed out bonus' to the transmission shop for coming in under budget on costs if they were underfilling the trannies.
I don't know much about auditing at Ford, but I am sure somewhere in the last few years the correlation between fluid used to the number of trannies assembled would have raised some red flags on the paperwork.

I've got a 21 Tremor with 24K and I get the clunk at stops. Drives me crazy, but I also have had nothing but trouble with the local dealers. Would love to hear of a fix.

Sounds like someone needs to get his slip joint greased. They saved on that just like they saved on filling the transmission.

Lube the slip joint. I had to do that on mine. While it did not 100% solve my clunk at stops, it greatly improved it. It is easy to DIY. See my post here:

The "shudder" in "D" is kinda normal for all Rangers because the RPM's drop so low , Sport mode just downs it a gear and holds more RPMs , Some Tremor's have a CV issue also , you may have one and not the other or a little of both...

I have noticed its a gear to high almost all the time, so around town I manually shift, the Powerband feels like it starts at 2k RPM
