Consumer Description

The transmission 6R80 is absolutely horrible, a part called the lead frame is all over youtube on how to fix it at home. the transmission causes slam shifts, missed shifts, or nothing at all. 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, and 4th to 5th. When slowing down again hard shifts back down again. local mechanics say they don't want to change transmission fluid as it could do more harm then good. I called my local ford dealership and was offered to bring it in where the test would show either a transmission fix or a full replacement which is absolutely crazy to me, Ford should be held liable for these mistakes because it should be fixed with a piece of Styrofoam over the sensors, and then transmission fluid changed. But ford knows for all of that and all of the 6R80 transmissions they've put out is an astronomical number. This is horrible that its happening to a very large majority of these transmissions and nothing from ford.
