| Transmission burned up twice because of urethane grommet cracked and fell off. first time had transmission rebuilt at a cost of 1200.00 dollars and within 14 months the same thing happen. put a used trans. in. running for 4 months and watching the cable. transmission repair shop stated he has made a lot money because of this defect. i think ford should compensate some for this faulty design. p.s. put new grommets in both times. | |||
