    Dark Green Drops Under Car

    Hello all, back for some more wallet destruction discovery. At the beginning of December, I finally got my car back from a transmission rebuild. One thing I noticed is that the cabin from the get-go smelled like gear oil, but I figured that was likely due to a gear oil covered mechanic sitting...

    Sudden Gear Slipping After Fluid Change (Emergency?)

    Hi all, I'll cut to the chase. A few weeks ago in my SHO, the RDU was replaced (a whole nightmare in itself, took 2 RDUs and this one still sings slightly as 70 mph). I did a break in period of about 500 miles on the new RDU, driving very gently. I then brought it over to a Lincoln dealership to...

    I bought my gen 4 sho with just under 90,000 miles (currently at 115,000) through Carmax and have a warranty for 3 more years or until 150,000. I plan on taking her to a shop Monday mostly for fluids. Change fluids of: PTU, RDU, Coolant, Trans, Brake. (will probably do oil change myself) With...

    Need advice before I possibly mess up my SHO

    Hello all, I have a 2013 SHO non PP with 116,000 miles that I am about to embark on a rather long road trip with, and I want to do some preventative maintenance before I leave. Some backstory, I picked the car up on marketplace for a good deal, it’s clean inside and is a rebuild with some panel...

    New SHO, with a few issues.

    My name is Marc and my wife and I picked up a 2013 used SHO non PP 113,000 miles with a check engine light coming up on the drive home. So far I have had the p0016 code, (the only code) which so far the fix was to replace the camshaft position sensor which I did last night. Other than that the...

    Taurus sho ptu delete

    I am looking at a 2010 sho that is 2k. Apparently the ptu is blown so it needs to be replaced. I was wondering what would happen if instead of replacing the ptu I dropped it and removed the intermediate gears. Basically make it rwd. Has anyone done this? And if so what issues were there? If not...

    2015 front end noise (video attached)

    This noise started when backing into my driveway with wheel turned to the right. Noise continues going forward, but then seems to go away. Already replaced front CV shaft and the noise continues. Anyone have any ideas?

    PTU Affected by tires???

    So my SHO was giving me some trouble over the weekend where as I was accelerating there was a loud knocking sound coming from the car and it sounded like it was coming from the driver side front of the car. The knocking would get worse as I would turn the wheel. I decided to take my car to a...

    Really need some recommendations please.

    Hi everyone, So I just purchased a 2016 SHO for my wife yesterday and it definitely has some issues that I can’t seem to narrow down. Here are the symptoms...... While driving there is a loud hum and vibration throughout the whole car, faster you go the louder it gets. That’s not the worst part...

    Ford SCREWED me on the PTU

    2010 SHO PP. Splurged and bought it new (wanted one nice new car before the kiddos came along). This car has had a pampered life that every car would aspire to. Only spent a couple nights outside the garage, just one track day when it was about a year old with a half dozen runs, meticulous...

    What year was the PTU drain plug added to non-PPs?

    Sorry for the dumb question, I'm sure it's been asked before but I couldn't narrow down my search of the forum enough to bring it up easily. I want to say I remember reading it was mid 2016? Anyone have any info? Thanks guys.

    PTU Fluid Change Help

    So I’ve seen multiple posts about the PTU in general but my question is more specific to any SHO owners in the Metro Detroit area. I went to a local ford dealership in my city and they gave me an appointment to do my PTU fluid change for $189. When it’s time for me to bring my car there they...

    Propane smell? PTU?

    Propane/oil smell? I have a 2016 none pp with 27k miles. Every time I park it in the garage there is a oily/gas smell. I've read it could be the ptu. I've heard of SSM 45053 (ford service bulletin) but doesn't mention 2016s. Should I be worried? Should I take it to ford? Would this fall under...

    Video: Alternate PTU Fluid Exchange Method - for PPs (& PIs) w/drain plug

    Ran across this video on YouTube: After draining, he temporarily installs a check valve on the drain opening to refill PTU. Then quickly removes the check valve to reinstall the drain plug.

    Anyone use AAMCO?

    hey all, I’m currently sitting in the AAMCO waiting room while getting my PTU fluid changed. I should have asked before hand, but I didn’t so I’m asking now, any experience with them? Are they any good? Anyone had issues?

    Hey guys, I know it's probably been posted here a million times but I'm hoping to change my PTU fluid ASAP because I'm at 105k miles (bought about 7k ago) and I'm not sure if it's ever been serviced. I need to know what you guys recommend and how much it takes but I saw something in a post...

    I am pretty new to the forum so please excuse me if this has come up before. Treating this post as an after-action review while this is still fresh in my mind. Stop reading now if you don't like long posts or multiple questions. I tried to organize this though so it hopefully flows for...

    PTU Drain Bolt Size

    I have a 2013 PP and need to change the PTU fluid. All my research shows that removing the temp sensor to fill after a drain is a huge pain. Thinking of using something like this to pump fluid back in through the drain hole instead? Should be easy enough? Anyone know what the thread pattern...
