Ford recalling 550,000 pickup trucks; transmission issues

[Chris142]

Wouldn't a rev limiter just shut 'er down?

not if its being pushed. guy was going 60 mph and it went into first gear at thst sp.eed

 

[Chris142]

I considered that, but no fuel = no trans pump ‐- or at least reduced pressure (assuming auto) = no or very little direct connection from d/s to crank

If anything I'd expect to crater a d/s or u-joint before most engines would scatter?

my old boss towed his jeep behind his motorhome. He left the jeep in 1st gear and headed home. 60 mph on the fwy and pieces were flying out of the jeep engine .Threw all 6 rods and put all 12 pushrods out the aluminum valve cover like a porky pine

According to 6R80 literature, The low reverse clutch comes on 'til like 3 or 4 MPH to help support the Low Roller Clutch.

If the Low Reverse Clutch were to come on at highway speeds one of 2 things would happen.....
1. The rear tires lock down
2. The engine will be brought to reduction speed of 1st gear

F#@&*% Old Rebuilt Dodge…

I’ve never understood this term. Can someone explain?

I wish they’d recall the 10r80. While I don’t know much, I’ll bet they do everything they can to avoid recalling it as the labor and material costs would be awful.

Just signed off on a valve body replacement on my 2018 Mustang, with 17,000 miles on it. Done with Ford when this one is gone.

I have heard it as "over" Meaning I will take the rebuilt Dodge.

Downshifts into 1st gear regardless of the truck's speed? Is that akin to the manual transmission money shift?

My 2014 Mustang GT 6R80 acted real strange a couple of times.
1. Cruising along in town in 5th gear.
2. Apply moderate throttle.
3. Shift up to 6th gear and run for about 1 second.
4. Bang all the way down to 1st and run for about 0.5 second.
5. 0.25 second in 2nd.
6. 0.25 second in 3rd
7. Pulls cleanly in 4th where it should have went to instantly.

I learned to get off of it instantly if it upshifted when it should have downshifted.

It never did it again after the tune revisions we made when we installed the Supercharger. Possibly because of some of the restrictions we set.
