I am not an expert mechanic, my father is, and I always remember hearing that Fords often have this type of problem with their gearboxes, and there are some difficult customers who prefer to save what they think, rather than spend a little more and have the car perfectly fixed. Good thing you were able to come to an agreement to fit a new box.
I hope that the last missing part arrives soon and this Ford will be on the road to success.
Well I would say its safe to assume that Ford's have a lot of problems xD... No hate to the vehicle brand,,, I drive a Ford myself!
Lets use my car as an example.. I changed the rear main seal on the crank about 3.. maybe 4 months ago! Its leaking again.. now thats a ford,,, if it doesn't leak you dont have a ford...
no jokes aside I might have only gotten a bad seal or something but other than that the vehicle is running smoothly!
That last part arrived not long after I shared the post!
