switz Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have a local Ford dealer who is taking my car today to evaluate it for the TSB. The service guy read up on the repairs and he is talking a good game. My car has some of the symptoms and the clutch chatter is not bad on level land but is pretty bad on a hill. We will see what they come up with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switz Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks, I will let them know about the nut. I dropped it off and hope it goes smoothly. They need to test drive it before any work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustangjem1 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just made an appointment to take my car in on Tuesday. I have all the information that has been posted. I have only 1550 miles on the 2007, of which I bought it in June of 07. I have not looked at the manual to see if it is covered by the warranty, would it be covered still?

Are you experiencing any of the symptoms? Repairs are still covered by warranty if they can confirm a problem exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07CSM0260 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Are you experiencing any of the symptoms? Repairs are still covered by warranty if they can confirm a problem exists. Mine has been in the shop for two weeks. They removed everything once the parts arrived. They since learned that the case is not listed in the TSB and it has to be ordered in as well. It is on back order. There are 8 ahead of mine on the backorder list from Ford. They are hoping to get a shipment in by the 25th of March to send out to the dealers. Just tought you should know before you take your car in. Dr. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to get it from first to second, and it doesn't want to go into reverse as well. I will find out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustangjem1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I dropped the car off this morning and will find out what they think. My 9 year old was shocked that I would leave the car with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustangjem1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 The Service Manager said that they cannot find anything wrong with it. He stated it would shift better if I would drive it more and because it was parked for the winter that's why I'm having the trouble with getting it into reverse and shifting. I know I will have to wait because I am too busy at work to discuss this issue right now. What would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is stop and go, it sounds like you have the problem and I would seek another dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I store mine for the winter & have no problem getting it into reverse. You have a definate problem & should try a different dealer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03reptile Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Make sure you get them to order a new nylon lock nut for the output shaft on the tranny it is not listed on the TSB parts & it should be. Shelby001: Please explain this caution about the nylon locking nut. I'm having my TSB done next week and my Servive manager is at a loss concerning the need to replace the nut unless it is damaged upon removal or is it a nut that must be replaced with a new nut, if removed? I need more explanation concerning your situation and what prompted you to submitted this caution. Thanks, 03Reptile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck Shelby001: Received your PM and responded. You did say" output shaft "and I saw" input shaft"! Old age dyslexia, I guess. Anyway, for those of you reading the post, the nut does need to be replaced if you tear into the trans. and replace the input shaft provided in the TSB parts bag. The Service Manager has ordered it and the nut should arrive well befor the TSB begins. Thanks again, Shelby001, for your information. It surely saved me some down time!!

I went to WC Ford and the tech and I went for a test drive and he said mine had no problems...but it still nags me in the back of my head. I might give your place a call and get a second opinion.

07CSM0260 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Mine goes in for evaluation on Tuesday. Not bad on level ground after start-up, but gets really bad after about 30 minutes of driving. Also bad on hills. Update: The part number I gave earlier was for the bell housing. It is still on back order and next shipping date isn't until late April. My input shaft bearing melted into the bell housing. The technition didn't think the transmission really had any problems until he opened it up and found this had heated up and melted. It still drove great. My car has been in for 4 weeks so far and the bell housing wil be at least another 4 weeks. Because I took all the information from Grabber and I knew what I was talking about, they have ordered a new transmission and it should be installed by the end of the week. Just letting you know that you really should check the transmission and have the information when you take your car in. It really does make a difference. Thanks again Grabber!!

I'll mention the nylon nut issue to the technician, and keep a eye open for updates in the meantime. Thanks for everyone's information; this is helpful.
