Consumer Description

HARD UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT WHILE COMING TO A STOP OR PULLING AWAY. ONCE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IT WOULD HAVE A TENDENCY AT TIMES TO LURCH FORWARD WHILE BRAKE WAS ON.. UPON TAKING THE TRANSMISSION DOWN, THE DEALER FOUND CLUTCH MATERIAL IN TRANSMISSION THE SS3 WAS STICKING, THE ACCUMULATOR O-RING WAS CUT THE FORWARD DRUM CK.VALL STICINT OVERDRIVE BAND BURNED AND NEEDED TO EXCHANGE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THANKFULLY THE TRANY WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, NOW THE REPAIRED ASSY IS ONLY COVERED FOR 12000 MILES OR 12 MONTHS WHICHEVER COMES FIRST AND WE ARE NATURALLY CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT BE A DEFECT AS THE FORD TAURES SEEMED TO HAVE TRANY PROBLEMS IN THE 1197 TO 1999 RANGE WHICH IS WHY WE DID NOT BUY ONE BUT WENT WITH THE SABLE AFTER CHECKING NHTSA REPORTS RE: THE VEHICLE ITSELF. *AK
