I bought an 06 F150 back in march and I dropped it off today for service (a few issues ive noticed, including a clunk when the torque converter comes out of lockup when passing someone on the highway). Ill mention it is under warranty until sept 2011.
The tranny guy drove it and said it has a bad torque converter and the intermediate clutches are toast. I was told it will be $1,700 if they tear it down and find nothing wrong but it will be covered if there is. Even though the mechanic is saying there is something wrong, I cant decide if I should go for it, I feel like they are going to pull a fast one on me but at the same time I feel like there definitely is a part going as I have noticed some sluggish shifts and that clunking..
The other concern I have is if I take it without repairing it and the tranny goes that they wont cover it since I did not get it repaired when they said there was an issue.. I might be a little paranoid as the 94 explorer is on transmission 5....
Any thoughts?
