Gear Box/ Transmission concern
I need some help with an issue i'm having. After i hit 50,000 miles i've noticed that its been getting harder and harder to shift into gears. I guess you could say it's real notchy. Reverse is real hard to get into now. My guess is the transmission fluid. I'm going to get the redline synthetic atf.
I have a steeda tri ax and upgraded clutch. I'm hoping my transmission isn't going bad.
I'd appreciate any help i can get. Thanks

I have the Ford dealer DVD shop manual and when I look up that symptom all it talks about is replacing internal components. I would definitely have it looked at. Doesn't look too good but I hope I'm wrong for your sake.

Why don't you call the Ford dealer and ask him if this is a comon problem and he knows what it may be. I bet he can tell ya right away. It doesn't sound like just a fluid problem unless you don't have any in there.

RE: Gear Box/ Transmission concern
if you have the t45 just get used to it.
it's not screwed up.....it's just junk
if you take it in and they tell you it needs to be rebuilt don't bother just upgrade to a better tranny.
