Right? Almost $5k to replace components and still the same outcome. Just replace the transmission already! And while you're at it, the engine too!

yeah this is what they replaced

And I assume the GT350 doesn't have straight cut gears? Sorry not familiar with the internal components of the transmission.

Thanks , @ClayDee also stated that so I just wanted more confirmation as well. Any confirmation will help me put pressure on the dealer (already have a Ford case# open just due to how piss poor communication the dealer had on the previous repair.)

For sure, my neighbor has a white/blue stripe 350.. always leaves his garage open so I can see it when I drive by. I haven't talked to him yet but I see him outside doing yard work. Maybe I will go introduce myself with a beer and chat with him about it

Ha about the super charger, I wish! Not sure what they did to diagnose it, they put "air" through it per the tech notes and noticed noise off and on the clutch. They did a transmission tear down authorized by Ford and found a lot of components were overheated or needed to be replaced. So they...

Hey all, Posting this video in a new thread to get some more traction. I recently had my transmission repaired with all internal bearings (supposedly they were blue from overheating), clutch, flywheel. There is a whining noise coming from the transmission still, sound clip below. The whining...

Wouldn't that be something lol. What sucks is he quit mentally while working on my car, finished it up then just physically quit the dealer. Either they worked him into the ground or he found something better... regardless, I am stuck in the middle of that decision. I want to see how they spin...

Dropped it off at the dealer this morning. They did let me know their transmission guy quit over the weekend... They are now looking to swap the entire transmission, more to come....

Interesting. Mine also started giving me the "Drive mode selection unavailable, service required" message today. I could change the exhaust/steering manually but not the suspension

So yours has absolutely no whine like this? I took it for a test drive with the mechanic and the dude said that's normal... I looked around and any videos I could find of interior sounds and no whining coming from the interior or exterior. I was hoping that the tech was correct in his...

The said they replaced the bearings, clutch, flywheel... per the service note, and no they did not replace the entire transmission. Something the AGM said is that they should have since the parts were backorderd more than 10 days and Ford would have authorized it (he said they dropped the ball...

Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't but was wanting some validation... it is indeed a nightmare, wtf. 2 months wasted and they still didn't fix the issue. If you see my repair ticket this is exactly why I brought it in... FML. Now I have some calls to make tomorrow

So got my vehicle back, still some issues but I have no idea if this is "normal" for the tremec or if the dealer is incompetent and didn't complete the repair. The dealer held the vehicle for a few more days and fixed the front/rear bumper panel gaps. The dent is still there, their paintless...

That's a clean car, love that garage floor too!

Yeah, I was also told I'd get an update by end of business today, it's now 1 hour outside that time and my patience has worn thin from the poor communication. If this was the 1st time they were poorly communicating I could forgive it but its a pattern. I honestly don't have time to babysit...

So the Tremec has a whine in normal operation, this is common with this transmission. Mine was extremely loud, so that was a red flag, and I mean loud enough to hear it outside the car where people thought it was a supercharger whine (it should never sound like that under normal conditions)...

Yeah it did seem like Ford dragged their feet on the teardown approval of the transmission, then the parts being backordered didn't help the situation. On top of all the poor miscommunication the dealer had and still has, it's just worn me out. I am not sure if it takes longer as this is the...

"Surprise your car is not done, here's some more time wasted and we also dented the drivers side rear quarter panel"... I can only chuckle at this now, I think I am beyond livid at this point... If the body shop has to hold onto the car longer than a couple of days, I will just have them cut...

Update 4/14/2021: Well I get there, they tell me the car is in fact not ready and needs to head to the body shop. They dented the drivers side rear quarter panel, it doesn't look like any paint or cracks, just a dent which I assume they should be able to just pull out. They also never fixed...
