Consumer Description

THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN 1995 AFTER FAILING AT APPROXIMATELY 9000 MILES. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION HAD A SPEED SENSOR FAILURE AT 31,500 MILES AND NOW APPEARS TO BE FAILING THE SAME WAY THE ORIGINAL FAILED. FORD CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS TRANSMISSION COUPLED WITH THE 3.8L ENGINE. AFTER WRITING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION ABOUT MY HEAD GASKET PROBLEM, I WAS VERY PLEASED THAT SOMEHOW FORD WAS PERSUADED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THAT COMPONENT AS IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT LED TO THE PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I AM READING, THE TRANSMISSION IS A SIMILAR FACTORY DEFECT (POORLY DESIGNED PART: FORWARD CLUTCH PISTON). ANY HELP IN THIS AREA WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *AK
