53k and the trans hasn't blown up yet?!?! That's a miracle!

Seriously, if you were not noticing any issues before you read this thread, don't let anyone touch your transmission. Don't do the tsb, don't mention it.

Interesting indeed. That said to make something clear for those who may not realize this is a "Technical Service Bulletin". This is not to be confused with a "Recall". If your vehicle is still under warranty and experiencing these issues coverage won't be an issue most likely. If your vehicle is out of warranty and you do not have an extended warranty that will be a discussion between you the Ford dealer and Ford. Don't count your chickens before they hatch though as most likely it will not be covered if you're out of warranty without an extended warranty.

I have an MBS (thanks Mike) dipstick.

Experiencing the intermittent hard shifts. Any foreseeable issues taking it in and them refusing service because of the dipstick (that should be there in the first place)?

Mine just got finished having the second step of the TSB ( valve body) done. I have the MBS dipstick and they didn’t say a thing about it. I did mention it both times before having it worked on. I imagine the tech probably appreciates it and makes his job easier

Took my Ranger in friday for TSB and fluid change friday. The tech reflashed, but did not do the fluid change. He said drive it 200 miles, then bring it back in. They want to either rebuild or replace the transmission. Sounded like they actually want to do the warranty repair. Does this make sense? I'm almost at 60000 miles.

Yes. I’m convinced that it’s a money maker for them. Sounds like they’re following the “plan”

Thanks. Sounded like they want to replace it either way.

Did you have any symptoms? Codes?

Symtoms yes. No engine light. Although the tech said he cleared dtc codes?

So the second step of the TSB has been done on my truck. Looks like they did the inspect and clean on the valve body. But after reassembly and road test it threw codes. They then replaced the valve body and road tested good. I haven’t driven it yet as we’re still in Florida. My son is picking it up today and driving it 1.5 miles to our house and sticking it in the garage. He drives a Ram so his feedback will be useless ?. But it will be the first week of April before I can shake it down. We’ll see what happens.
P.S. this also explains why my Ford Pass app lit up while it was sitting in the shop.

I just had my oil changed at the dealer and they did a checklist of 'recommended' services since I'm at 40K+ miles. A transmission fluid change was part of it (cha-ching) but I'm holding out to swap out the stock tranny pan for a PPE one when I do.

Being that I own a 2019 and wonder if the transmission is acting up - nothing has been touched by a Ford dealer there yet - I'm going to swap out the DPFE sensor first before I get it back in to address what I think are hard/uneven shifts.

Seriously, if you were not noticing any issues before you read this thread, don't let anyone touch your transmission. Don't do the tsb, don't mention it.

I just dropped it off at the dealer again, and they are going to look and more then likely move on to the next step of the TSB.

Just got a call from the dealer and they stated they can't get it to flare the shift like it was previously and there are no DTC codes, so it looks like everything is fine. I told them it is more likely to show the flared shift first drive in the morning, and they said they would keep it overnight and try it again in the morning.
