Sure, call me with an email addy. I'll get one to you. Tx

I have a new drivers side steel shelving unit that I bought from Adrian Steel for my '11 Transit for sale, part #AD 32 TC. I purchased both sides, pass and driver, and after installing discovered that there want much room left back there. I removed the drivers side, problem solved! This shelf is like brand new, installed for a few days but nothing ever placed on shelves. Includes all required hardware and the floor mounting plate. Very high quality unt.....$200 firm, and shipping this would be foolish (expensive, hassle etc). Local pickup only in Athens (southeastern) Ohio. 740-448-1070. Thanks. Chris

I also bought a set of the Adrian shelves......a real pita to install, but I think that they are going to serve the purpose. They also look one, which is important to me.

From what I'm learning, and noticing, these transits are a little too heavy,etc for the transmission to handle....especially for the fourth gear band. I guess it goes with the territory.

I can share on this topic....I'd just had my transit for about a week (pre owned 2011 XLT with 8700 miles, perfect condition), and one day I heard a weird rubbing noise from under the front end....almost like a stick jammed underneath dragging on the asphalt. Later that day, I was at a rental and got into the vehicle, put it in reverse and nothing.....I mean nothing. I was able to limp it home, knowing something was wrong. Had it towed to the dealer who at first said they couldn't duplicate the symptoms. They said it was working fine.....I said " drive it some more!"... A few hours later they called and said it failed.....big time failed. Dropped the pan and a ton of metal came out. After further inspection, it was completely destroyed, including the case. They were instructed by the factory to replace with a reman unit, but they aren't yet available so a new Trans was ordered. They also replaced the Trans cooler and flushed the cooler lines. It took a week, and I picked it up today. After doing some research on the net, I discovered that the forward planetarys are a very common failure on these vehicles. My advice to anyone who starts to experience the symptoms talked about is to get it to your dealer and tell them to PLEASE drop the tranny pan. That should do it...

Hey, first post here!....recently purchased a pre owned '11 transit for our rental home business. Looking forward to learning more about these cool vehicles!
