So the trans was back together and the car was done Saturday around noon.
It still whines. Not quite as bad as before but def still there.
They have ordered a new transmission, she said it would take some time because they will have to pull one off the assembly line. In the mean time I can drive my car so that's good.
I will update after the trans comes in.

A Man Just Needs Some....
I guess the repair didn't take. So Ford is still guessing. Maybe if the trans was built in the US, they could just go to the route of the problem.
Sorry they didn't get it man.

Keep the faith. They are working with you, and it appears you will be getting the new updated transmission, since it is coming off the line, someone mentioned was going into the '12 models now.

Yeah I am pleased so far. They are willing to replace the entire transmission. I can't think of anything more they could really do.
I didnt hear about an "updated" one though. What's different?

There is a puddle of oil under my car, def not coming from the engine. I can only imagine the tech put something together wrong when he reassembled the transmission.
The dealer called just now and said the new transmission is on a truck and the tracking says delivery today. She made me an appointment for first thing Monday morning to swap the trans. She is pretty confident (and actually so am I) that it will be done Monday afternoon. The long parts of the last repair were them actually starting to work on it, waiting for parts and tools to be ordered, and the actual reassembly of the transmission.
Hopefully they start on it early in the day and I won't even miss any time with my car if I get it after work.
She confirmed the bearing has been revised and that my transmission will have the new one.

Or they don't want a flood of peole, period. Maybe they are afraid people with perfectly fine transmissions (if there really are any of those left) will bring them in just because they heard theres a revision.

The other equally valid reason for a revision is to reduce part costs. Not saying that's what's happening here.
