2016 TC Wagon - Harsh park to drive

Recommended Posts

Just received a 2016 wagon with 106K miles. During the test drive the transmission worked smoothly.

 

After a couple of days I noticed when shifting to drive and accelerating the transmission will shift/clunk hard. Then the 1/2 shift is fine.

 

Have the option of returning the TC however I really like it. Otherwise can receive an extended powertrain warranty and hope the transmission fails and is replaced under warranty.

 

Question: is the transmission like the Focus (problematic dual clutch) or like the Escape (torque converter)? Butt instinct says dual clutch.

Check the fluid Level , have some one shift the car while you Look at the Motor. How many Miles is the warranty ?  Get the shift memory cleared so the TC can learn how you drive . Changing the Trans fluid would not hurt either.

Did you get a really good deal? The operative theme for me and used cars is Do You Feel Lucky!

Good idea of checking the fluids and resetting the computer. Your grasp of the obvious is obviously more advanced than mine. Next step is a fluid change and reflash the computer. Purchased a 4-year 50K-mile powertrain warranty so I have plenty of time to totally trash the transmission ?.

 

Price was $9500 for a clean XLT LWB. Has the 2nd row buckets and rear liftgate which I really wanted. Neat feature is the huge moonroof with power sliding cover. But the radio has no Sync to connect a phone? Odd combination of options.

There is no Sync badge or functions like my former 2013 Escape. I push the phone button and there is no response on the screen. No menu function for Bluetooth® or to pair a phone. There is a USB port in the console, however could be broken as it won't even charge a phone. Least of my worries.

No dipstick. I mean the TC does not have a dipstick, not a personal comment toward you.

 

Might as well change the fluid if I'm going through the hassle of pulling the side plug.

Nope 2012-up has the PowerShift dual clutch transmission. I am a smart butt:

My daughter has a 2014 Focus PowerShift and is having slipping issues. Ford plans to replace her clutch.

Check the sticker inside of the door.  There should be a transmission code.

If you are in The USA, with a 2.5L Duratec, which is what came with Long Wheel Base Wagons; it should be paired with a 6F35 transmission.

It bucks just like my daughters Focus PowerShift. Would be surprised if its a conventional torque converter transmission.
