[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1030260, member: 52972"] Like I said...I never bought into Ford's explanation that some transmissions were filled with the wrong tranny fluid at the factory...and that adding a friction modifier was the solution. Most techs at transmission shops are not qualified to diagnose and repair automatic transmissions...their standard solution is to replace the transmission with a rebuild unit from some transmission rebuilding factory they own or contract with. With the high cost of qualified labor, Nobody wants to diagnose and determine the problem and make only the necessary repairs. So much easier to just to hire a lower paid monkey to replace a transmission than determine what the problem is. Unless you can locate a good honest shop with trained and experienced transmission techs, you will probably have no choice but to pay for a rebuilt transmission. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
