Ford 10-Speed Transmission

[ecu1984]

When I bought my 2018 F150 4x4, I did my motor research and got the 5.0
based on all the ecoboost issues, cam phasers issues, etc
I should have but didn't look into transmission known issues and the truck has the 10-speed.
I love this truck, loaded Lariat and drives like a new Cadillac.
On Saturday morning 25 degrees, pulled out of drive way and felt it slip a tad and then shift hard into 1st.
Did the same at the next stop sign. Worked perfect and smooth once tranny up to temp, the remainder of day. I thought may be the below
freezing temps? Same thing Sunday and this morning, except I barely made it home this afternoon. Stayed in 6th gear and a "wrench" symbol
appeared on dash. Code reader shows P0716 "something about shift solenoids.
Called Kevin and LVM
What is my best route with it? Rebuilding or a buying a rebuilt transmission?
The Ford dealer almost gave me cardiac arrest after he talked a new one
Kevin, what route do you recommend?
Thanks

Solenoids are normally not catastrophic….

I tried to tell you to not drink that Ford Kool-Aid! As GBelly and I have now said for the 100th time, buy a Tundra! Curious, did Ford change their Kool-Aid Color to Orange. Ford is definitely in the shitter.

How many miles? Towing? Aggressive driving?

My 2011 with 6speed will have that cold morning slip if I don’t let it idle for a few minutes. Change the fluid and it is fixed. Don’t believe the ford bs about 150000mile transmission fluid.

Probably best to treat them like a Honda transmission with partial fluid replacement every 30k miles. Aka. Suck out the pan and refill. Keeps mixing new with old. I am at over 200k and now looking into a complete flush.



Edit to add that you don’t have to drop the pan to change fluid in the pan. You can buy a cheap pump with tubing for getting the oil out through the dip stick hole in boats and use it. The fill plug on mine is right beside the cat. I can pump out almost a gallon and replace. Do this then drive around. Do it again and you have replaced about half the fluid. Cheap and easy.

Now that they switched to the hybrid motor, that's not even an option anymore.
