Genuine improvement.
I took my 2020 XL STX FX4 CC to Ford at 59k to have the trans reviewed before warranty expired.
I noted harsh shifting as my concern. Dealer said the valve body needed to be replaced, however the warranty receipt only shows “rebuilt” with new gaskets, seals and (2) separator plates. Additionally, they performed a re-flash.
Pleased to report a 100% improvement. Better than new. My assumption is that the biggest improvements are the result of the trans reflash. Shifts completely different now. New thing —Tends to shift 1-2 and then skip shifts to 4 under moderate accel. Used to be nearly permanent 1-3 skip shift. Still does that but only on light accel. Also holds gears longer and does not PWM/hyper flare the converter nearly as much. So much better and more refined experience.
I highly recommend people ask their dealer to perform the same service. It’s so much better, I’d even pay for it if I had known how much better it is, and I had been out of warranty.
