POWER TRAIN
AT 150 MILES ON THE ODOMETER THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO GRIND SECOND GEAR WHILE TURNING LEFT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY CHANGED THE FLUID AS PER T.S.B. THERE WAS ZERO CHANGE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND WAS A 'BREAK IN' ISSUE. DESPITE DISAGREEING I DROVE IT UNTIL THERE WAS AROUND 10,000 MILES ON IT. AT THIS POINT IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT INTO SECOND WHEN TURNING LEFT WITHOUT PHYSICALLY FORCING IT TO THE POINT I WAS SKIPPING TO THIRD. ALSO THIRD GEAR HAD DEVELOPED THE SAME ISSUES INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK IT BACK IN, AND THEY BLED THE CLUTCH. AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT WEEK, AS OBVIOUSLY IT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. FORD DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED ALL SYNCROS AND BLOCKING RINGS WERE EXTREMELY WORN AND SECOND AND THIRD GEARS SHOWED SIGNS OF WEAR. HE ALSO REPORTED THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING HAD SHOWED SIGNS THAT IT HAD BEEN VERY HOT. AFTER RECEIVING MY CAR BACK I NOTICED A DIFFERENCE, NOW THE SHIFTER LINKAGE HAD A NOTICEABLE POPPING/BINDING FEELING IN THE LINKAGE WHEN MOVING THE SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH IN THE NUETRAL POSITION. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS ABNORMAL, BUT THAT OTHER CARS ON THE LOT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHICH LATER I FOUND OUT TO BE A LIE. AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES IT HAS SHOWN THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE INCLUDING THE NEW LINKAGE ISSUE. I DROVE THE CAR WITH THE TECHNICIAN WITH ME FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE TECHNICIAN WAS ALSO ABLE TO NOTICE THIS ISSUE WHEN HE WAS DRIVING. EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS ONLY WHEN TURNING LEFT AND ONLY WHEN CHANGING TO SECOND GEAR, HE AGAIN LIED TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL, AND THAT IN ALL CARS YOU HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT FOR THE SYNCRO'S TO CATCH UP AND IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS WHILE HOLDING IT UP TO THE SYNCROS FOR IT TO SLIDE IN. PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TT
