The new tranny should have the extended warranty only. On mine it was 7 years, 100K on the tranny, with no deductible. This was on the F150 that was still covered by the FACTORY warranty. This scenario should apply to you.

On my Mustang, the slushbox was covered by a 3rd party warranty (bought the car used), and they authorized the dealer to replace with a re-manufactured 5-speed auto. They apparently don't make anymore of the 5-speeds new, so it has to be a re-manufactured unit. Because of that, the warranty on it is only 3 years, but unlimited miles with no deductible. Since I drive over 20,000 miles a year on my car, it's actually a good warranty for me.

Winner to answer your question they took it apart the first time when i went to pick it up it wouldn't go in reverse. the second time they replaced it 5th wouldn't work but while putting it back together the second time they broke the trans case in the process. I also asked and they stated that ford would rather rebuild then replace. But since then shes been fine

I’m able to help by sending an escalation to the customer service manager for your area. So I can do this, please PM me your full name, phone number, current mileage, dealer details, and VIN.

the factory warranty follows the car, so as long as u are in by time and miles its covered.
