The truck has 129k miles on it and for the past 15k miles or so it has started shifting very hard from 1-2 and very hard down from 3-2. Feels like I am getting rear ended by a Fiat hard. This makes stop and go Austin traffic miserable.
I can sometimes make it shift smoother by giving it more throttle prior to the shift from 1-2. The hardness of the down shift from 3-2 depends on speed.
My diesel bro shop says its needs a trans at a cost of around $7000. A local neighborhood shop in SA quoted me the same. Both shops stating that they would be installing a new transmission from Ford and that no one rebuilds them yet. Is this correct?
I first took it to the diesel shop thinking it was a tuning issue from the mild tune they did after the deletes. They put it back to stock and told me it made the shfiting worse. I did not verify how worse. They re-tuned it and still shifting as described.
Could it possible be something else like a valve body or TC?
If no one is rebuilding them, I might be looking for a trans from a salvage truck.
