    Are trans coolers necessary?

    Here’s my thought process: I have a 2015 F150 without the max towing package. According to ford, my truck is rated to tow 7,000lbs. If I had the max tow package, that rating would go up to 11,000lbs. The only differences I see between the packages are addition of a transmission cooler, 3.73 rear...

    Thick transmission fluid for trouble shooting transmission?

    On our old 3.3L Hyundai sonata, backup car I have it narrowed down to worn lockup solenoid valve body, which I think it is or a worn torque converter clutch. The car is 2008 with 270,000 miles on the transmission, nearly all highway miles. I'm thinking if I dump out some of the transmission...

    My 2010 Honda Accord 2.4 (w/186k mi) acts like the torque converter is failing. What do I do?

    About a month ago my Accord starting acting very weird at low speeds (25-30mph) and lurching when the TC would normally lock up. It wasn't incredibly noticeable until I got on the highway and it wouldn't lock up at all. After looking up the symptoms, it seems like I've had a worn TC for awhile...

    3-4 gear shift followed by RPM drop 6R80 and 6F35

    Hello all, I used to own a Ford Fusion with the 6F35 and noticed the same thing happen on that as what is currently happening with my F150 with 6R80. As I accelerate and shift through the gears, the tranny shifts to fourth gear and shortly after the shift, the rpm will drop as I accelerate. To...
