I had an F-250 with the 7.5 liter V-8.
It had the Borg Warner T-19 4 speed manual with an extra low first gear.
I worked at a Summer retreat in the Carolina mountains. There was one lookout which could be driven to on a road so steep that rocks would sometimes keep rolling down after the tires disturbed them.
I once tried a trick. My F-250 idled all the way up and down without my touching the accelerator or brakes. A couple of times I came close to hitting the brakes but never did.
Thanks. I use that sea foam occasionally and reset the codes and it goes for a few months and comes back. Super annoying...just give me a gas cap.
The new 2020 Ford Fiasco
$30,000,000 is a total garbage settlement ... if only 100,000 of these known-to-be-faulty vehicles were sold during this time period, then that would be only $300.00 per buyer ...
Only a few automatic transmissions here.
Grew up on manuals and have 16 Tacoma with a stick.
One of my teachers in high school would have.
It’s my understanding that Ford and GM were coworking on a 9 sp auto. For what ever reason Ford dropped out. I bought a Chevy Equinox on New Years Eve, with a 9 sp auto. That is a bad assed transmission. For now at least. I love the car but the gas mileage really sux. 23.1 right now. Damn shitty.
Yep. Slow accelerations are what confuses the computer shifting.
I like manual transmissions, too, but will install front and rear cameras in the next car. That will be for the creeps who pull up to within a few inches of the rear bumper at a stop light on an upward slope.
Lawyers make the money, customers get whats left....like a couple bucks.
I wonder how many people.
every CVT transmission is junk.
Not really, I’ve built a bunch of them. Clutch packs, planetaries, and a valve body basically.
yep!
You’ll find that they typically have the same shudder at 150k that they had at 15k, failure rate is really pretty low.

This transmission figurally wiped out Ford sales on several foreign market.
