One of the plaguing issues with the Transit Connect is the transmission. Countless stories of transmissions biting the dust at or around 100k miles. We’ve all read about it. I’ve even been a victim of my van’s trans acting up. This ultimately led to the retirement of the van from racing competition. That was 4 years ago. Van still runs and has 190k miles. Every now & then, with no consistent factors or patterns, transmission will act up and give me troubles. Never once has it left me stranded. But it left me limping to my destination one way or another. Sometimes, if I cycle power on the car, I’m able to get by. It’s a ticking time bomb at this point. One of these days the van won’t recover. It’s one of those scenarios where I can’t front the $3k—$5k for a new transmission. It would be more reasonable to drive it until it dies then pick up some cheap shitbox or finance a used car with a low payment. Until I came across these kits in the attached photos. Apologies if the photos are not in order or they don’t work. I’m posting off my phone for the first time. These kits claim to restore functionality in the transmission. They claim to rectify the shift issues (have those), the ratio codes (have those), and other trans issues (have those). This isn’t a full rebuild kit. This doesn’t include clutch packs or bushings. These kits also claim the transmission does not need to be dropped to perform this repair. It’s basically a bunch of components to rebuild the solenoid/valve body. Which makes sense when I think about what may be causing my sporatic drivability issues. This also may not fully repair my issues. It may need a full rebuild, especially knowing that I used to beat on this van for racing. But a $200 repair kit is a much more approachable option to start. I like to think I’m a 7/10 wrencher. I can do most of anything depending on resources, tools, time, and money. I’ve pulled motors and dropped trans before. But I’ve never messed with anything internal in auto trans. Trying to figure out if this is within my scope of work. if anyone has experience using kits like these for these vans or other applications, I’d love to learn more.

I am having an issue with my 2014 Ford Transit Connect. Randomly the fuel pressure will be too low for the car to run/start. The fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail has been replaced, as well as the entire fuel pump assembly in the tank. It is a completely random issue, whether I am driving or have turned it off and am going to start it. It was throwing an engine code for something fuel system related, but after replacing the fuel pump assembly, the code is gone, but the problem is still there. Any ideas as to what could be causing this, or a similar experience?

So I've removed the cables from the stick but how do I fully remove them from the assembly? The manual says to rotate. But what do I rotate? There's little orange things in there too. Is it them?

My 06 connect which I recently bought, I noticed the radiator isn't fully connected at the bottom. The drivers side (right) rubber foot isn't on the frame properly. It's balanced and is safe but it I'd like to correct it and make sure it's in that hole. Is this easy to sort or do I need to disconnect everything? Help?

Hi. My 06 transit connect has 110000 miles on clock. I'm worried about timing belt/chain so Ive been asking around for quotes. Two garages told me that I have a wet and dry belt. First garage said it's around £1k to change them. Second one was £700. I phoned Ford just there to make sure it's definitely a wet and dry belt set up. They told me I have a dry timing belt AND a chain. I asked if that's the one in the cassette type thing. They said yes and said I wouldn't need to change the chain, just the belt and water pump need changed. Can anyone confirm this is correct as I'm sceptical still and havnt got a clue. If this is true then why are independent garages quoting me for a wet and dry belt change when ford says its a chain and doesn't need replacing? Please help?

Hi, I just purchased a preowned (1 owner) 2017 Connect with 6200 miles. I needed a larger vehicle for my line of work and to hold all my tools and ladders. I was hoping to hear from owners of the Connect on maintenance and daily use issues if any. I purchased the extended warranty from the dealership but am able to remove and be reimbursed if I decide it’s not worth it. Right now the van is bare but I will post new pics once I have it setup with my racks and tools etc. Thanks in advance

I just purchased a used 2016 Transit Connect LWB passenger version. Selling my beloved Chevy Astro van after 15 years and 165,000 miles. Haven't driven the TC more than fifty miles yet, but so far I believe it will fit all my needs. Took out the third row seats to gain more floor space. Any worries I should have? The vehicle has 30,000 miles on it. Clean Car Fax. Thanks..

Good Day All, How should we charge our batteries on a Transit Connect? I normally attach a charger lead to the positive battery terminal and then a lead to the frame some where and then plug in the battery charger. The owner's manual does not cover charging so I am hesitant to hook up a charger to the battery for fear of harming all this computer control stuff I know nothing about. What do you say?

Hello all! New guy to the forum (obviously) but no stranger to forum usage/banter! I work in the motorcycle industry as a General Manager of ScootRichmond LLC and have been a "wrencher" for a little over 15 years now. I was out and about one day after spying the "latest" generation of Transit Connect and figured I'd take a look at a local dealer. Needless to say after getting to take one home for the evening, I was SOLD. I am now the owner of a BN 2015 EcoBoost Transit Connect XL VAN (Dual slider/window) in the oh-so desirable "County employee" white/black commercial scheme. The temptation of possibilities to thoroughly MOLEST it to conform to my liking and day-to-day life were the main drive behind the purchase. The first project I am taking on is to effectively sound deaden the vehicle to make it a little more "wagon" with the "van" capability of hauling small motorcycles/scooters. I've also purchased an inexpensive motorcycle wheel chock from Harbor Freight to fabricate an "on the fly" motorcycle securing system that utilizes the factory floor d-hook mounting points that are just behind the driver/passenger seats. I will make sure to start separate threads on each topic in their respective sections and I hope to see you all around the forum! Thanks for having me!

Hi I am interested in buying a 2012 Transit Connect XL Van. I have a few requirements that the van must have in order to be able to buy it. It must have the side windows on doors and the rear windows on the back doors. and it must be cheap. So my questions are these: Is the van strong enough to haul around 700 pounds in the cargo area up a hill on a highway. Second how well is the air conditioning in the van - does it well enough ventilate the van? Also how well does the heat work when it is cold in the cargo area *Note that I know there is no vent in cargo area just the one on the dashboard. Also if the van were to sit in the sun for a wile in 85 degree weather with only the front windows down how hot would the cargo are get if it were to sit for around a few hours. Thanks
