#6 of 9 Automatic Trans.intermittent shift by 40guy Mar 15, 2008 (8:39 am)
Our 2004 Sport Trac now has 68000 miles on it and other than normal service has been running good. However, about 3000 miles ago, my wife, who normally drives the truck complained about the trans NOT shifting into drive after backing down the driveway. After the third time, we took the truck to a Ford dealer, who was not the one we purchased the truck from. They couldn't find the problem. We brought the truck back home and next day it malfunctioned again. We have an extended warranty to 75K miles, so we wanted it fixed before the warranty ran out. We took it back to the original dealer who said over the phone that the problem was known and they would repair it under the warranty. When I brought the truck in, I asked them to reflash per TSB# 06-13-01. Dealer said they would, but it was not covered under the extended warranty. They changed out the R-D solenoid on the trans and reflashed the computer. Serviced the tranny, and sent us down the road. So far, the trans has shifted normally and we are happy campers. Hope this helps someone else with their truck.
#7 of 9 Tranny Shift??? by drnick Mar 30, 2008 (10:01 am)
Yeap, I have a 08 SprtTrac. I just bought last month. I am experiencing some subtle "slow" shifting also from 1st to 2nd. Not that profound but yet noticeable. I have contacted my sales person, he said bring it in let service department check it out. I will do that for sure, this week. This may need to be addressed to Ford Mot. Co., I'm sure we are not isolated occurances. I don't know. Anyone inquired from Ford Mot. Comp. directly on his? However, I Love my Sprt.Trck. just what I needed plus more. Later. Doc.

Wish you the best of luck,also you can go to www.alldatadiy.com and check for service bulletins and recalls for all vehicles. This may help, I printed and took information and bulletin numbers to dealership and they found out what to do to fix problem. Thx.

Replying to: drnick (Mar 30, 2008 10:01 am) Hello,this TSB 08-4-16 supersedes original TSB 08-3-8 as of feb 08. This tells of the problem Ford is having with the 6R60 6 speed automatic built prior to 11/28/07 and also those built prior to 5/4/06. Hope this helps. Thx.
