from my own research it is not a full Synthetic ATF. XT-10-QLVC Motorcraft® MERCON® LV is a premium-quality automatic transmission fluid recommended by Ford Motor Company for use in Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles that require MERCON® LV type fluid. This product also provides...

initially, I was very worried about my tech pack being completely useless on the track going to limp mode after 10mins just like any other tech/base cars. but then I calm down a little bit and think about the situation as a whole: get the tranny cooler, run two hoses, and run an external pump...

the factory tranny cooler can't be that bad tho. R/Track had been running all day long. I would prefer the OEM cooler simply b/c we know it would fit without issues. but of course the most important thing is having a pump with a high enough flow rate to cycle those fluids non stop.

thanks for the update ZK. I will be okay with a solution even as simple as a cooler(maybe track pack cooler from ford), run two lines to tranny using the drain and fill holes, and even a manually operated switch under the hood and mount the pump under the hood, which i only need to turn on for...

hey man by 'mirror forward' you mean including the full hood and headlights and full fender right? so the hood piece is laser cut too? i was told no laser can cut sheets more than 60'', and the hood is longer or wider than 60''.

me too.

will every owner get one? or only the 2015 owners?

lets hope so and lets hope they do it quickly. track season starts in 6-7 weeks.

this is so depressing, non-track pack cars can only last 10-15mins max in a cold, middle of the winter night on a short track. By the time summer comes maybe even 5mins in board daylight will be considered lucky. this is no longer a track capability issue, this is clearly a design flaw which...

Ford should own up, and fix the tech/base for us. if they don't, I will be the first one to sign up if there is ever one. all seriousness aside, she did mention the "tech pack owner won't be using the car quite so much on the track and not as seriously" which in term implies tech pack cars can...

unfortunately it won't be a no cost. the track pack guys will be angry if it is. they paid 6500 USD extra now ford is giving away the most important content for free? I agree with montreal ponies tho labor should be free (as if this is warranty issue) and parts on us at a reasonable price.

embarrassing yes but its not the end of the world. they can easily -produce some sort of scoop or shield to block the 2 cats from heating up the tranny -increase the temp limit which will trigger the limp mode -higher capacity cooler with holds more oil -better fluid all of the above are...

so far the stats on this forum is: with the exception of 1 tech pack car, every single tech/base car went to limp mode after 10-15mins. I know ford is working on a solution, they have to. but it also makes me wonder what kinda testing were they doing in the first place? if they know the car...

ok that's not that bad then. a typical 3-group track days the wait time will be 30-40mins anyways. I may bring my generator with me and bring a couple of big floor fans next time. or leaf blower.

so what happens after the car went into limp mode? do they just sit it out for a bit? let the tranny cool down so the ECU get out of limp mode and then they can go back on track again?

can you elaborate a bit? are all 3 cars experienced the same thing? and the 4th car I assume it was your track pack, and it was okay? at this rate I may not take my tech to track this year, what is the point if it can't do 15mins?

yes sir we are all waiting for ford to come up with a solution for the coolers and pump, which will most likely fix the heating issue. but in the meanwhile, what can we really do? oil is the easiest to change, plus it doesn't hurt to change the fluid around 1200 miles (M cars do that as part of...

that was my bad, i thought they use the same tranny.

ok that makes sense. I look up Dexron-VI, seems to me every one of the major aftermarket brands has a replacement for that. https://www.amsoil.com/lit/databulletins/g3110.pdf

google 'XT-10-QLVC' which is the part # for our stock tranny oil a bunch of diesel website came up. so Ford decided to put the same tranny oil meant for 4000rpm diesel engines to our 8250rpm DOHC? I am not expert in this particular matter, but the gut feeling I have is that for sure we could...
