Transmission work needed at 50,000 per Ford dealer

[Trash Panda]

I also said it won't fix itself but gave up after many were wishing their tranny problems would go away on its own...btw, I've mentioned this many many times but the DPFE sensor has nothing to do with the transmission issues...many conflate the two because the drivability symptoms are somewhat similar at low speeds...

I have to admit it did make it a little bit better in a sense.

2 weeks later of having an occasional issue or new issue (the let’s just skip 4th gear entirely) made me head for the dealer before my warranty expires.

Steve,

Thanks for having the TSB handy. Dropped Danger Ranger off at Woody Anderson Ford in Huntsville, AL this afternoon to get looked at.

Truck is 4 years, 11 months old (2019) with 58,000 miles. Under warranty still? Yes.

Even though I have changed the DPFE sensor, MAP sensor, and IAT there is still issues. Truck has completely started to skip 4th gear every now and then, had a big surge from 3rd to 4th gassing it hard this morning.

Hopefully they can replicate the issues on a cold start drive tomorrow.

@Msfitoy I thought you said it’ll fix itself…it’ll fix itself.

As long as it fixes itself enough to take it and trade it in....

I just got my truck back yesterday with its new transmission. Seems fine, but I'm still driving tentatively... like I'm expecting disaster. I gotta get that outta my head, then I'll be able to really tell if I'm OK.

It's called PTSD...I had it when I got mine replaced and couldn't stop wincing during shifts...

Been there done that with my transmission when I replaced 7 quarts of ULV and added LubeGuard Platinum, and my psychotic transmission magically became normal again.

It has been a little over a week and it is running perfectly.... but I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop!

Tony,

Did you just add then entire 10oz bottle?

Thanks

I believe he did.

Our transmissions hold right around 12 qts, and the recommended treat rate is 1oz/quart, so the 10oz is just a little 'undertreated', but that's not really a problem. 10oz seems to be working just fine for most people, and then just resume 1oz per qt if you do any further fluid exchanges.

If you decide to do it, I would very much like to hear your before and after results.

Just trying to grow a body of evidence that we can at least prevent some of the more annoying 'soft' issues in our 10r80's.

Shawn,

I don't consider them "Soft Issues"... and as of this moment, the magic LubeGuard Platinum Elixir has worked a miracle on my transmission. We are taking the truck back out again tonight at my wife's request. One month ago she stated "Sell... SELL... SELL that truck!"

There really ought to be a sticky note at the top of this forum with your advice you use LubeGuard in your 10R80 as a matter of practice.

I am completely serious.

Thanks again!

I guess what I mean by that was 'issues that can be solved without replacing hard parts'.

Kinda right up there with programming or a software relearn.

Today I also added LubeGuard Platinum Elixir Based on what other have said on here but just 2oz. I really haven’t had major issues with transmission just occasional lurch from 1-3 or 4 who knows. Recently just changed pan to PPE and changed fluid. So I didn’t want to pull out 10oz. Saved the rest of this stuff for next time I replace fluid probably when I change oil around 5k miles from now. I’m trying to get 90% new fluid without flushing. Just bought 10 more quarts of ULV on rock auto.
