Transmission repair

[ScarzRanger21]

Dropped the wife’s truck off at the dealership yesterday to have the transmission checked out. After driving it a couple weeks ago, I noticed a harsh downshift from 4 to 3.

Luckily I called right away and got it scheduled for service, her warranty expires at the end of the month. Tech at the dealership said it’ll most likely need a rebuild based on his experience with rangers. He has one too, same year, and his had the same symptoms. Nice thing is it’ll have the updated parts so hopefully it won’t have any issues in the future after it’s rebuilt.

They should be calling today or tomorrow to let us know what’s going on. Only downside is she’ll be without a vehicle for however long repairs take. We were told that ford will cover a rental vehicle for 10 days so hopefully they can get the work done sooner. Either way, I’m not paying anything out of pocket so I have zero complaints lol

I was able to drive mine til parts came in, then got the loaner for about 4 days or so while work was done.
Ask if you can do that.

I thought about it but it’s not a huge deal. She doesn’t really have anywhere to be anyway so it’s all good, I just worry about her not having a vehicle if she needs it for some reason. Her sister lives 10 mins away so she can always get a ride if she needs to. Or walk

Sure. You will be walking while she’s driving your truck!

Well that was easy… Dealership called and said the truck will be ready to pick up tomorrow afternoon. All the parts needed for the repair were in stock, so they didn’t have to order anything. They’re just finishing up the rebuild and they’ll take it for a test drive tomorrow to make sure everything is good to go.

Spoke too soon… Dealership still has her truck. Apparently they didn’t have all the parts in stock and their tech had a family emergency, so it got pushed back another day. In the meantime, they gave her a loaner to drive. 2025 maverick tremor. Looks cool except for the goofy paint job and gold accent wheels lol
