| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Manual transmission is difficult to get into low gears and grinds going into high gears due to the original clutch assembly defect. under normal and above operating temps, when clutch is pushed in, the hydraulic line in the clutch assembly expands using more hydraulic oil than the system can hold. this causes the clutch discs to not get propeer seperation disengaging power to the transmission causing difficulty in shifting. ford told me i needed an updated clutch assembly at my cost of $465.00 plus tax. ford must have known of this problem or why would they already have an updated clutch assembly to offer? by not being able to shift properly, it is extremely unsafe and is causing transmission damage. i feel that this is a factory defect and it should be recalled immediately and anyone having to pay should be refunded. i work with a man who has an f350 who has to shut his engine off in order to get it into 1st gear. i failed to list that this truck does have fuel injection.*ak |
