shift flare on 2005

[Mike Endrizzi]

My 05 sport trac has the dreaded shift flare 2-3 no OD light or anything, and when i have it tuned, the flare is non existent, except fuel economy tune





My question is what parts do I need? are there any aftermarket parts that are better than ford? Im in Canada, if you think your dealers are bad, order something up here lol

Hope fully just a valvebody seprator plate. Also a new epc solenoid. along with a trans flush.

I had the dreaded 2-3 shift flare, and the performance tune covered it up. I didn't notice until I one day went back to the stock tune.



This kit:

is meant to fix the problem as well as beef up the transmission a bit. It worked for me to remove the 2-3 shift flare.. The local transmission shop did this for me, and also put in the new EPC solenoid at my request. It's definitely worth it if you want that flare gone.



Eddie's recommendation should work as well
