I am not sure where this note belongs but here I go. My TB has 56k miles and I will not waste your time telling you how many engine parts I have had to replace. Suffice to say COPS, alternator, 2 AC units, and so on. Each at around $1000.00. These are just a few of my issues.
However, I finally had to replace the whole transmission at a cost of $4700.00. This is my 2nd 2005 TB and the 1st one also has transmission problems.
Why am I writing? Just to alert readers that at some point, your transmission will get so bad you'll either have to live with it or replace it. Maybe not all of you but this note might ring true for some of you readers.
Ford gave me a 3-yr. guarantee and I hope this new transmission is much better than the originals. I was told by a Ford mechanic that the TB's are known for rough shifting and all together erratic behavior. New transmissions, (rebuilt that is) have much better actions (so I'm told) so I hope I'm OK for a while.
