“Incognito†:huh:
I facing some transmission problems, yet I’m not ready to give up! I have posted on the past that my 01 ST started O/D to blink, I was told be many to take it to the tranny shop or to the dealer and get the codes. Which I did and they mention that it was 2nd and 5th gears no sensors, they said I need a rebuild (just like that) so the guys from the shop wanted $1500 and the F dealer were asking $2750 (yeah right, a$$holes). Why I say this, well I got the time to remove the tranny oil pan to check on the oil and see if I saw pieces of metal, plastic, gasket, etc. To my surprise nothing was there just some residue of wear & tear. Question here is why do a rebuild if no evidence shows, can it a sensor or something electrical? I found this website (check it out) Tranny Valve Body

Sounds like a good idea, right, well I went to my local tranny supplier and requested this items and guess what the guy said, He said, “that it is possible BUT he was 110% that I need this two things:
Shift Sol and EPC Pressure
Are you still with me, ok so what you guys, think????
