I did a search and did not find any clues on this one, so I'll start.
My (wife's) '02 limited has no tranny dipstick. In the generic Ford Scheduled Maintenance Guide, it recommends changing tranny fluid every 30,000 miles for the AX4S, 4F50N, 4R100, and 4F27E trannies (no idea what cars those are on).
But in the back under "Special Operating Conditions (trailer tow, heavy commercial use, etc.)" it states to change the tranny fluid every 30,000 miles.
The truck now has 29,000 miles and occassionally under full throttle the tranny seems as if it is stumbling. Just once, when it was brand new, it did not immediately engage drive when re-starting from a long hot drive.
It is going in to the dealer tomorrow. The question is, would you have the tranny fluid changed?
And how do they do both a flush and a filter change? Anyone else had this done?
If you stayed this long, thanks, folks.
