Yes Very Interested, / seem to be having exsact problem at 85000 km. I did change transmission fluid at the recommended mileage, and they commented that it was appearing very used. burn't almost. Rasmataz do you know at what mileage, and was it done for your fords recommendation.?

- Really curious if this is the beginning of a weakness in manufacturing starting to appear.?
