Inspection and Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: When internal wear/damage occurs in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material and band material can travel into the torque converter, the transmission fluid cooler tubes, the in-tank transmission fluid cooler and the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, if so equipped. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission concerns. To prevent future concerns, remove these contaminants from the cooling system before placing the transmission back into use.

  1. 1.

    Verify the customer concern by operating the vehicle to duplicate the condition.

  1. 2.

    If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as necessary.

  1. 3.

    Install new components if a transmission fluid leak is found in any of the transmission cooling components.
