hello smooch.

I went into ford last week for this auto whine(mine is only in 1st gear) and they said that it was fixed. they reset the pcm or something but it has done nothing.

how long did it take you to get this fixed under warranty and how many times did you ask them to fix it?

thanx

smooch? I ain't gonna kiss ya, doublek! No matter how nice you ask.....

I only asked them once at the 60,000km service to investigate a whine in 4th gear when you backed off the throttle at about 80kms. The service manager drove it and said that 1st, 2nd and reverse were the same (I hadn't really noticed those). I was told then that Ion had agreed to a new gearbox.

Turns out the service manager had stopped working but forgot to tell his boss and still turned up at work, so I got the runaround for a bit while he went into holiday mode. Now on 64,000kms and a couple of months later, but a week or so of that is my fault (sick in bed).

Assuming the new planetary gear set (not replacement box as originally told) fixes the problem, then it was only asking once. But it does beg the question as to why it hadn't been picked up before?

can you tell me when you hook up trans cooler do you still go through the radiator or is it best to bypass the radiator alltogether and just have trans cooler for best cooling.. :banghead:

One of the Ba's NCO's is a radiator with a tendancy to leak. As a result if you don't bypass the radiator when installing a transcooler you run the risk of water finding it's way to the transmission, which is........not good!

yer agree with you mate , but you also need to make sure your trans cooler can keep your trans under what the water used to if you no longer use it.

Hang on a second guys . . . I've just read this and many other threads on trans coolers and I have one big question.

I have a stock 2003 Auto T and had a spurting noise at low speed/low revs followed by some slipping between 1st-2nd & 2nd-3rd. I took it to Ford (7 weeks out of warranty!! :spoton: ) and they said my trans cooler had failed, leaked water into the transmission, trans oil in the water, milkshake, etc... Result - replace transcooler, rebuild transmission, flush, etc $2700!

Now, from what I've read here you guys are telling me there is no trans cooler fitted to a stock T?

What the f*$%? :spoton:

There is a cooler on pretty much all autos. It is in the bottom tank of the radiator. the cooler being referring to in this thread is an external radiator type cooler.

there is a factory trans cooler located on the right hand tank on the radiator.

what everyone else is talking about is a second air to air cooler earter inline with the std one or by passing the std one all together

hope this helps
