21 escape 8f35 transmission

[mrjlube]

Long story short...going on 3d transmission. Replacement again under warranty. How do you make these last? 1st one i flushed every 40,000 at dealer(dead at 100,000) or so. Next one drain and filled ar 30,000 drained again at 65,000 miles(dead just over 100,000 miles. Manual says change 150,000 miles(won't last that long) all highway miles too. How do U get this new one to last?? Thanks for any imput.

I would be shooting @Pablo a message to get some Amsoil ATF. Would likely help things out.

I've been doing 20k drain and fill and am at 50k.

With that kind of luck I’d sell it while it runs and not look back. Honda CRV, yota rav4, Mazda CX-something. 3 transmissions?

I'm stuck with it for a while. Its only worth about 9,000 (miles) I owe 12,500 still

Don’t really see them fail in the escapes I normally see them fail in the edges. I’ve only ever replaced 1 in an escape since they came out in 20 normally I see them in the 19-21 edges.

Unless we know what the actual part failures are, it's just speculation. Maybe there's a Ford forum that has teardown results? Some things (like the bushing that gets displaced and blocks clutch feeds in the Ford truck 10 speed) can't be fixed without mechanical improvements.
