i just got my second oil change, at 8,100 i know too many miles and anyway they tell me that i got a leak in a transmision line.this sux.i hope this car doesnt turn into my 92 camaro which had problems all the time.i drive the car way to much for work so i guess i deserve it.ive only had it for 6 months too oh well.any way the service department in closed till tuesday and i dont have an appointment yet so i probably wont be able to get it fixed for another 4 days.they told me i should get it fixed as soon as possible but can i still drive a little here and there?i always need to drive somewhere and the guy didnt make it sound like a emergency but said if i dont fix it it could mess with the trans.

 

i would drive another car till i get it fixed ......either way it`s still leaking and you dont want to ruin the transmission

 

blow up the tranny so u get a new one or drive another car

 

I think I remember this being a known issue on a few auto's a while back. Why did the dealer not fix it on the spot?

 

because i got the oil change at STS a tire place and they told me to get it fixed from ford since its under the warranty.

 

Yeah, I've got it too. Mine goes in Thursday for that, plus the strut mount TSB.

After long drives, is where it's most apparent. Thing will smoke like crazy from the ATF burning on the hot engine parts. Seems to be leaking from where the lines come up from the chassis just before going into the radiator.

 

You can do it yourself. It just needs around an 1"- 1 1/4" screw clamp to replace the factory clamp.
