Have a 2013 3.7 and shifting into first and second. Car has low mileage at 70k, is this a native issue for these? Or just in need of repair?

 

Is it hard getting into gear all the time or just when it is cold? If it is when it is cold look google cold shift issues but is is usually changing fluid and putting in the additive that helps with hard shifting.
I put a Blowfish Shifter bracket that divorced the shifter from the body of the car but mine only locked out in 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 5rd going through corners under power. Other than that it has always shifted good.

 

It is for sure just a cold issue. Will check goo.

 

That should have been 2nd to 3rd not 5th.
Ford even changed out what they say to run in the Gearbox.
Check out this thread.

 

Thanks for the link. Will do the fluid thing this week.

 

I replaced the trans fluid with Motul DCTF and shifting 1-2 got much better not perfect but better, followed up with replacing shift housing bushing between the shifter and body. The OE bushing was not only soft, but just worn out, replaced that one and again huge improvement. This car has just hit 70k miles, are there and more service parts in the shifter to address? Any maintenance like lubrication in the shifter assembly?
