Post by: Evilgoat on November 29, 2006, 11:22:05

Anyone know owt about the big Fords, in particular their auto boxes. Have lost third and fourth. Gearbox is probobly toast but it smells like toast too :)

I suggested fdraining it and checking the fluid filter, anyone any other ideas?

Not put the wrong auto fluid in it by any chance? IIRC adding a Dextron auto fluid will casue the internals to cook, the oil goes brwon and it smells.  Box will be toast if it's been in long.
