I made a post a while about about my MT-82 4D losing 3/4 gear.

Well, after 42 days now, Ford FINALLY has an answer for me other than "We have no ETA for your vehicle."

I was given the run around, told 4-5 different times that transmissions were being emergency ordered, that shift forks were back ordered for months.

All the while they were redesigning the forks/synchros.

I talk a little more about the TSB in the video below.

Watch it if you'd like, don't if you don't want too.

TSB 18-2175 is the TSB, if you are having issues shifting into 3/4 they will try and reproduce the error, if they can, they will replace the parts listed.

are these re-designed parts, or the same garbage that went into it from the factory?

I have had a slight grind going into 3rd since day 1. only a matter of time..

TSB or recall?
TSB

TSB, they just put new parts with the same weakness back in..
From what I've read, they are different, but we shall see.

OP states shift forks redesigned? :shrug:
I mean, that's what I'm able to find out thus far, only time shall tell.

[MENTION=32976]Ls_Eater[/MENTION], why does your video state recall?

Anytime they change the letter at the end of the part number that means its a revision aka a redesigned part.

If they have had your car for more than 30 consecutive days, it qualifies for the California lemon law, might wanna check your state for the rules

My car does the 4th gear grind and the other day when I was shifting into 4th at 110MPH it wouldn't go into gear.
That happened to me a while back. Couldn't get it into gear at all, have not tried it again.


If I added an MGW shifter, will Ford still perform the job?

I looked into lemon law, with the length of time it takes, Ive moves away from that option currently.

Depends on the dealer, some are more forgiving than others.

They also have to be able to reproduce the error, so if it only happens over 100mph I don’t think they will lol.

Because when I spoke to the mechanic, he referenced a recall at first, then he later called it a TSB (after I had posted the video). I’ve already changed the title to reflect it.

I actually had a 3rd gear grind the other day. Under low RPM casual shifting as well.
