Description of the problem | The transmission failed at 51k miles . The problem was that the forward clutch pistion cracked becuase it was aluminum and not capable of dealing with the stresses of the transmission. The problem is so bad that atra has a tech bulletin stating to replace the part ( bulletin 267). His problem has been reported by many other ford owners yet ford will not do anyhting about it. I am awaiting your response as to what action can be taken against ford. |
