Just FYI, I feel that the trans drives much better after reset and before the adaptive learning takes place. I wish I knew how many miles till adaptive kicks in, but maybe update us in a few hundred miles.
All four of the VCT solenoids were replaced on my F150, but my shift woes remain....
Is there a way to do the reset at home?
Have you had them add an extra half a quart of oil? Originally, I had them check my fluid and found it was about half a quart low and that seemed to fix my stutter and no shift issues. But the solenoid replacement turned the engine into an entirely different driving experience when it was replaced. Have a look at your dipstick if you know where to get at it on the 10R80.
No trans fluid has been added to my knowledge. I mentioned the crap shifting one of the first times the truck was at the dealer for an unscheduled visit for another issue, but there was no mention of them checking or adding any fluid on the paperwork. As I understand it, the markings on the stick are somewhat cryptic as to when they're actually full, but the thing acts like it's low on fluid to me when it's cold so I should just crawl under there and dump in a half quart when things are cool (cat is right next to the fill port).
Absolutely agree 1000%, they need to be hung by the gonads till they fall off IMO.
Good Morning guys. I forgot to give you an update on this.Good morning. I need your help.please take 1 min to read this.
Story:
Racecar only.
On april Was testing for wheel 2 wheel racing
After 20min oem clutches started to slip .
as you know i have a bypass and the temps were 180f.
Brought the car at ford in may.
Authorized the repair
So we changed :
Clutches with after market better clutches
Suncoast extra capacity E and F DRUMS with one extra clutch
Raytek Spring kit in the valve body and my bypass. and some other minor stuff. (Solenoid Holding clips main pressure reg )
New oem converter.
Got car back. With full throttle big vibration/shaking around 3k and clearly no all power was trasmitted to the wheels.
Happens All gears.
We data log and we so oscillations on the torque converter.
We disengage the lockup clutch of the converter (the clutch that locks transmission to the input shaft) and problem went away. So main suspect was converter
So we proceed by steps.
1. Remove the modified valve body. And install an oem one because .Problem still there
2. Change converter with a new one and re install the modify valve body. But problem still there
I thought maybe some engine problem but why when disengage the lockup clutch the problem goes away?
Could a bad installation of the extra clutches create this?
Anyone installed that kit and had issues?
before ditching my 5th rebuild and going DCT...(a story for another day) Id like to understand what's going on.
Thanks guys if you can contribute
