Torque Converter Shudder Adventure

[thomasm23]

Can I ask you what the ratio of Lubegard Platinum is? Am I correct that it's 1oz:1qt of Mercon

Add 1 tube (2 oz) per treatment. That should cure the issue.

So I have the 10oz bottle of the Platinum. But just use 2oz then.

Thanks for the reply.

Are you doing a drain and fill? You will only get around 4-1/2 quarts out. Add 1 quart of Lubegard Platinum and enough Motorcraft ULV ATF to drain out the leveling plug.

I've asked my mechanic to change the ATF fluid. I mean other than that I have no idea.

This is complete BS!!! And I don’t mean Bronco Sport. They need to fix these issues. I now have the torque converter issue which I have to add shudder fix every 3-4 weeks and I am experiencing the grinding of RDU at low turn speeds. Why can’t they be honest and fix this. Still owe 20,000 on this vehicle and can’t afford $10,000 in replacement parts.

Are you still under warranty? If so the torque and RDU are covered.

No I am not. My only hope is that when something finally gives my company will allow me to use my 401K under a hardship payment. And I don’t have high hopes for that so it’s looking pretty bleak. Ford told me to submit my concerns through some organization I’ve never even heard of.

Hmm. Post something about this in the Reddit group. They're more helpful than people on here.

They might have and insight into what to do

Maybe I should look into an extended warranty through one of these sites that offer that. I’ll look into the Reddit threads thank you.

The ESPs are great. I recommend Zeigler Ford and you can even email the guy I've been working with, Sam @ [email protected]

My original warranty still has 6k miles on it, but I've already determined to use Zeigler because they were more honest about the warranty timelines. Sometimes it's hard to determine when the warranty starts and ends, but he will answer your questions, no doubt.

Just found out I'm next for the tranny/ converter replacement. 4,000 miles left on my 100k warranty. Anyone have any thoughts on what I may want them to go through while they have it. Prior to my warranty expiring

What issues are you having?

 

[Foad]

Had the shuddering issue. But was wondering if anyone had other thing i should had inspected ( turbo, injectors, etc.). That they be aware of that have been going out or having issues at 100k.
Thank if an one has thoughts

This must be Cincinnati speak.

 

[Foad]

Wow, that was bad.
Was wondering since I'm getting close to my 100k warranty. Is there something that I should have checked before it expires( turbo, rearend, etc).
