transmission problems
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a fluid leak like this. I went to get my oil changed and it looked like I had an oil leak seeping out at the gasket and a power steering leak somewhere near the rack and pinion. Come to find out Ford says it was two bad clamps on a transmission line to the tranny cooler. and the line cracked a little. Is this something that I may have caused by punching it alot on the freeway or just a fluke thing I'll never have to worry about again? With the exception of a throttle body bypass I'm still bone stock.

RE: transmission problems
No tranny problems yet but I have a 5 speed...I bought mine new on feburary 3rd 2006 with 9 miles on the ODO. Right now Ive got close to 35,000 miles I drive alot making visits for my work. Granted I have alot of modifications bolt on's and etc, my stock diff broke already "it sounds like a rock crusher". It just justified for me to get a nice LSD and Motive Gear ring and pinion...BUT thats not the point. I hit 35,000 miles I do launch hard now and then but I do baby my car most of the time. Just waiting for my parts to arrive. Anyone else have a diff blow already thats totaly stock or modded?

RE: transmission problems
lol OH YEA! Ford had my tranny on the floor ath 5000 miles and its been leaking ever since. They are POS, atleastonce they are cracked open for something. They tell me its overflow but I doubt it, I got a blower now so its not worth the stress. IM gunna have fazm look at it when I get my plugs done just to make sure its not to low
