I recently purchased a used Ford Transit Custom and I'm concerned about potential issues with the transmission. What are some common problems that owners have experienced with this car? Is there anything I should watch out for or get checked by a mechanic?
ReplyHi Samantha, as an experienced Ford mechanic, I've seen some common issues with the Transit Custom's transmission. One of the most common is a failing transmission pump, which can lead to harsh shifting and transmission failure. It's important to keep up with regular maintenance to catch any potential issues early on. I recommend having a mechanic check the fluid levels and condition of the transmission pan gasket.
Hi Samantha, I recently sold my Ford Transit Custom and never had any issues with the transmission. However, I did hear from other owners that a faulty shift solenoid can cause rough shifting and transmission overheating. To avoid this, I suggest following the recommended service intervals for the transmission and having it checked if you experience any unusual shifting.
