[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 743467, member: 52972"] I think all the confusion about the "Tranny fix i a bottle" was that Ford really never explained the issue, and the dealers were even more confused. Some dealers were telling people that eveytime they had their tranny fluid changed or flushed they would have to add another bottle of the additive. If you put in the correct Mercon-V, why would you need to add their snake oil? Ford said that they put the wrong fluid in the vehicles. Was this a suppler problem? Or was it a modification of the original Mercon-V formula to help resolve a problem? Remeber that the recall was only for specific model years and only those the vehicles that exhibited a specific set of symptoms...ie: Would not shift into gear or was slow shifting into gear, particularly in reverse. Those were symptoms that nobody had reported here prior to the recall, and there have only been a few reports since the recall. They very gingerly tip-toed around the working to eliminate the symptoms of the 2-3 shift flare problem, and I think that makes a lot of people suspicious. The 2-3 shift flare is a much more common problem that has been reported here many dozens of times, yet Ford continues to ignore that the issue even exists ?? I'm sure thare are some people who are like hypo-condriacs and if they hear of someone having a transmission problem, suddenly they imagine they are having the same problems when in fact there is nothing wrong. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
