Vehicle: 2006 Ford Five-Hundred 3.0 liter FWD 6 speed automatic, 259,000 miles
I have had a transmission that occasionally starts hunting and slamming gears when driving. I have driven around it for the past 50,000 miles but I was thinking about putting in a new valve body in the transmission as I understand that's what the problem is.
The Chilton manual mentions that you need some special tool from Ford to reprogram the transmission after putting in a new valve body. My question is, does anyone know a way around this and/or is this necessary?
My other question was, where could I find a cheap valve body?
