It would be good to know for sure, but my understanding was the trans was EXACTLY the same as the F-150s - different torque converter and different software I could see, but the trans itself I'm pretty sure is the same.
I believe I read another post recently that mentioned that even though the model number is the same between the ranger and f150 trans, that some components have different part numbers. Which would indicate they are not identical across vehicles. Regardless, some of us are indeed having transmission problems. The dealership service techs found parts need to be replaced, I trust them. They have no financial incentive to spend money person hours and parts if there was nothing wrong.
As far as I know, the Trannys are the same, there are two other transmissions based on the 10r80, the 10r60 which is a lighter-duty model, and the 10r140 which is the heavy-duty model. The new 6g ranger is getting the 10r60.
Your symptoms and experience sounds very very similar to mine. There have been recent TSB's for these issues. I just had mine repaired and it feels great.
If they replace the entire transmission, I won't mind. If they just do that sensor and call it fixed, I'll take further action.
they didn't specify the adaptive learn was completed again after the overhaul.UPDATE:
Picked up my truck this evening. Work done is as outlined in the attached picture.
On the drive home I did a little sport mode driving after the engine was warmed up all the way. Truck behavior is the same to me as when I dropped it off. Transmission overhaul at 22k miles? Yeah, I'm not happy about this and the ra t that it is still clunking in and out of several gears. I'm going to unload this giant disappointing lump of junk and get something else. I need something that can tow my camper ~6k miles a year without letting me down or having to go into service for over a week for some overhaul or another.
I'm done with the ranger. Going to have to do some serious research on what to replace it with. On the bright side, it looks like I should get quite a nice price for it. No lean either.
What I experienced on the drive home was exactly the symptoms that lead to me taking it in, I don't see how a simple relearn could be the cause of such obvious issues. These aren't just feeling a slightly hard shift, it is clunking so bad it literally feels like being rear-ended. As for the competition, I won't be getting a compact/small truck. It'll be a full size with proven reliability. Heck, as much as I dislike how the Tacoma drives, they have earned their reputation in the small truck segment. In hindsight I should've just went with a Tacoma instead of the Ranger but the turbo pulled me in. It's time for me to do some reading and go on some full size truck test drives.
Not sure. I imagine they would have put it in the work done description if they changed such a component. My biggest concern is how much I tow and that thise same parts or others will just go bad again. Next time it could fail catastrophically, when I am far from home towing a trailer. Not what I want. 22k miles and the transmission is falling apart is very shitty in my book. If it happened once it's likely to happen again.
This work was covered under warranty. I really have no interest in spending money for a second opinion. Regardless if it is "operating as designed" now or not, it still fell to shit after only 22k miles. I'm just going to sell it and get something different.
"operating as designed" is code for "not my problem"...
