The complaint During the overhaul process of a Ford 4R70W transmission, it was necessary to replace the hard wire frame and case connector. After repairs were completed and the technician prepared to take the vehicle for a road test, the transmission took off in a higher gear and the MIL illuminated. The PCM was scanned
Dealing with PCM fault codes on the Ford 5R110W
The complaint A 2005 Ford F350 with the 6.0 liter diesel engine and 5R110W transmission has set a P0753 “Pressure Control Solenoid A – Electrical Fault” code and a P2700 “Transmission Friction Element A – Apply Time Out Of Range” code. After a prolonged drive time, DTC P0752 “Pressure Control Solenoid A – Stuck On”
Ford FNR5 slipping or no reverse hot
The complaint A Ford vehicle equipped with the FNR5 transmission has a complaint of a severe slipping condition in reverse. As the transmission approaches normal operating temperature, reverse movement is non-existent. The cause The case is cracked behind the low reverse clutch apply piston in an obscure area. The crack can be very difficult to

The complaint After replacing the pump assembly in a 6L80/90 transmission with a new GM pump the vehicle returns with symptoms that would appear to be caused by a low fluid condition: it falls out of gear at a stop and has low line pressure. Upon further inspection the sump filter, which was also a
Avoiding 4L60-E harsh shifts and engagements
The complaint The complaints are harsh engagements and shifts. The scan tool data reveals that there is no amperage command to the EPC solenoid therefor the line pressure is at maximum. There are no transmission codes stored, there are lean codes stored in the ECM. The ABS or the VSC (vehicle stability control) lights may
