  1. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there were any new updates for transmission issues and repair steps from Ford now that we're into 2026? Maybe new diagnostic steps or TSBs I am not aware of? I still have my extended warranty until 100,000 miles so looking to get back on this. Biggest...
  2. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    Sadly with other repairs taking priority I think my factory warranty is going to lapse before I can get my transmission issues addressed. I do have a secondary warranty but I imagine it will prefer used parts, so we will see. That said, is there a way to figure out which dealer in my area...
  3. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I'll keep that in mind for the brakes. Maybe it'll help with some of the lurching feeling when stopping. As for the DPFE sensor, I had an appointment an hour away so I drove the truck on the highway and I was pretty sure I felt that same bucking/jerking accelerating on the ramp. Normally I...

    RangerBill, thank you for posting that! I'm sure anyone watching me swap the DPFE sensor out this morning in my driveway got a show and heard some interesting words, lol. I ended up buying a digital torque adapter at Harbor Freight that I realized too late wouldn't go low enough to set the 8...
  5. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I would love to be able to tell you. There have been other issues going on, a death in the family, and I just haven't been able to get around to changing the sensor. Does anyone have steps for doing this? I went to do it myself last week and I couldn't see down into the bay well enough to see...
  6. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I have ordered my own replacement DPFE sensor and will attempt to install it myself. I should not have to diagnose my own issues and tell the dealer what needs to be fixed. But it seems like all they know to do is scan it for codes and then respond to that. Am I expecting too much for them to...
  7. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    So...the local dealer said they found an issue and tracked it down to the EGR valve and replaced it under warranty. Said they were finally able to get it to act a little weird and I don't have it in front of me but I guess it would occaisionally throw a code they used to track it down. They...
  8. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    Hi all, I was finally able to get my truck into my local (chain) Ford dealer. After having it for a week they called me on Friday and said they were able to get it to misbehave a little and found the EGR valve was bad and are replacing it under warranty. I wasn't where I could have a long...
  9. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I am now working with my local Ford dealer on these issues. And I added a picture of my blue beauty! The previous dealer said it (my daughter's '13 Focus) will need a new clutch although it's "not too bad". Damn thing will give you whiplash. Anyway, they wanted $3,000 for a clutch job so I...
  10. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    If you know a couple of these threads that may apply to me can you link them? I'm trying not to go too far down the rabbit hole but I really love my truck except for these issues and I just want it to be right.
  11. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I know it won't fix my other transmission issues but it was at least a part of my list of complaints. I am pretty sure I need them to address TSB 25-2134. It's getting them to do it that's the issue, because according to them "it drives fine"...facepalm...
  12. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I think it's time to take it to a different dealership. They did fix TSB, 20-2277 under warranty, and it *is* somewhat better, but still seems to do it. I suppose it could be part of another issue but I may take Tann3rth3hamm3r's suggestion of havintg the driveshaft splines lubricated at some...
  13. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I have reached out to the dealer with some of the updated informaiton that you guys brought to my attention, including an active TSB 25-2134 for my VIN from Ford's own website. Hopefully that will get some traction. I will go up and drive it Monday. It's about 30 minutes away. I did have one...
  14. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    I appreciate everyone's suggestions so far. Actually I didn't expect quite so much feedback so I am pleasantly surprised. Yesterday while I had time between jobs I did go to a local dealer and drive a a '21 Ranger and a '25 Ranger. The '21 Ranger: It exhibited the same take off shudder mine...
  15. 2020 Ranger XLT Transmission issues - dealer says it shifts and drives fine?

    My main goal here is to figure out how to get Ford to replace my transmission which is still under factory warranty. I bought it last June ('24) and noticed a small shudder at take off, and since I'd never had a 10-speed before I wasn't sure what the drive would be like. But after driving...
