2019 Ford F150 2.7
Just hit 100k miles.
Apparently I’m one of the thousands of people having this issue with their 10R80 transmission.
The usual slipping, jerking, and sudden lack of responsiveness from the accelerator.
Was fine last week—now I can’t trust it go anywhere. I couldn’t get it ‘out of neutral’, whether I put it in drive or reverse.
I’m a home inspector and own draft line cleaning business, so all I do is drive.
The shop we work with for all our Transits said to get rid of this thing and don’t bother replacing the transmission. We trust these guys.
I like I said, I live in this thing (the last 2 years now) so this is a nightmare situation.
I have 10k set aside in case I found a room or an apartment for rent, so I could theoretically afford the new transmission.
I don’t know what to do.
I’d take it to a local shop that specializes in transmissions and get a qualified opinion first
That was my thinking.
I wasn’t quite sure about deciding in a place to take it. I’ll read reviews and ask around, but what might you say is an indicator of a good shop?
The truck has been great otherwise. I just read online that these transmissions have several months lead time.
I wish it was Monday already.
