Ford Transmission Shudder Fix
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2024
- After being to the dealer three times for a shudder complaint and being told there's nothing wrong with it, this 2014 Ford Explorer was brought to me. I determined the shudder to be caused by either clutch slippage or chattering in 3rd and 5th gears. At this point there are only a few options. Replace the transmission, overhaul the transmission, or try changing the fluid and adding a Lucas transmission fix additive, which is what we did in this video. And it worked!
Yes, I realize additives are usually just a temporary fix, but after seeing this same procedure fix a 2011 Silverado 2500 transmission which went out completely, and is still going to this day two years later, I figured it would be better to get more life out of the transmission before replacing it.
Well i hope he replaced the transmission
Hi!!! Still working?? My for escape same trans start doing this shutter...but here is expensive the repair..so will try the additive while save money to repair or buy anothe car..dont know what is better 🤣
@@pablomachucachavez1014 hey did you do this procedure? How did it turn out?👍🏽
@@jamesd2661 hi!!! I did but with other addtive..annddddd go to.other trans shop and they told me that wasnt the trans..so get scanned for third time and was a misfire in cilinder 4 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ remember two weeks before get the sparks changed 🤦🏻♂️so it was only that..for luck
@@pablomachucachavez1014 I'm glad it wrkd out. Thanks for the reply.
Just performed this 3 days ago, and my transmission shudder issue is no more. I greatly appreciate the information.
My 2015 was shuttering between 10 & 40 mph. Studied issue on TH-cam. This video convinced me to try the fluid change. Conflicting videos recommended 1-3 fluid changes to cycle all out. I decided to split the difference. On the 2nd fill up, I included the motorcraft friction modifier additive. Thru the first couple hundred miles, it has never rode or shifted better than now. Shutter is gone. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this great advice. I took it to the dealership and they didn’t have a clue. They thought it was bad plugs.
This video was well done and easy to understand AND so far so good it seems to have really worked.
Great job!
Wow. We had been dealing with this problem for almost a yr. We've taken it to several mechanics, changed spark plugs and ignition coils, finally seen this video and tried it. 1 he later the truck has stopped shuddering!!! Thank you so much for doing this video you are saving alot of people alot of money "trying" everything under the sun to fix it 😁
Please post if this procedure helped!
I never usually leave comments but I have to give you you’re credit my guy! I experienced the same thing in my 2016 Explorer so I took it to the dealership and they diagnosis it as an issue with my torque converter and say to replace the entire transmission. Tell me it’s gonna cost $9,000 to fix 😭. I said HELL NAHH! Found your video and did exactly as you said and the issue seems to have gone right away. I’m not the best under the hood either but this has definitely boosted my confidence lol. Cost me like $120 for everything from auto zone and a Saturday afternoon. A lot better than $9,000. I might start changing my own oil now too 😂 Thanks man fr. 💯
What was your vehicle doing before you used this remedy if you don't mind me asking?
I had the same issue with my 2014 F150. I took it to the dealer so much they started to make me feel like I was hallucinating. I now realize that it is a common issue and they are told to act like they don't notice it. (If you acknowledge the problem then you gotta recall)
I added shudder fix and 85 to 90% of the shudder went away. I will try the Lucas and hopefully I get better results. Thanks for the informative video
Daniel, thank you! I had that exact same problem about shuttering in 3rd and 5th gear under acceleration. In the Ford dealer they told me that I only could change the transmission to get the problem fixed. Bastards! I just changed the transmission fluid and added first the lucas additive stop slip version you said in this video, and my car started to run perfect after 30 minutes driving. I fixed the problem with 75 dollars instead of thousands that could have cost to change the transmission. My 2014 Ford Explorer was shuttering since it had 52000km on the clock and I did the fluids change when I saw this video, with 68000km. I hope more people with the same problem watch this video, becuase I can guarantee, this solution works! And really I don´t know why because I am a software programmer and don´t have any mechanical background, but it really works. Thanks again Daniel
I took mine into a shop to have a fluid change done. Fixed the problem. Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks a lot man!!! Your video probably saved me hundreds. I'm hoping the shudder problem doesn't come back for many years.
Thank you so much, this video helped me a lot my car had the same symptoms and it was not showing anything on the dashboard. I spent little less than $80 I am so happy that now my car its not shaking no more and the gauge its working properly, thank you so much its the only one video I found like this … God bless you
2013 Explorer, 130K miles. I had the Ford shudder. My dad sent me your link. I watched your video and spoke to my mechanic. Problem solved. Thank you.
Did this 10 months and 10,000 miles ago. Still no shudder or surging, trans continues to works excellent. Thank you! Just note, it doesn't work on all vehicles, specifically Toyota / Lexus.
2015 explorer AWD, exact symptoms, dealer could not give diagnostic. Changed spark plugs, throttle, coils, injectors, fuel pump and nothing until I found your video !! It worked, thanks
Same here. Mine is a XL 2013 doing it on 2 and 3rd shifts. Must admit mechanic after trying everything posted above did give me the option on the video. I'm glad to have him!
Tried this yesterday and it immediately fixed my problem. Thanks so much for posting! One thing that you could have mentioned was where to find the trans dipstick or filler cap? Mine was full of road grime and really hard to find. For others that can't see well, go to the "Ford" logo and look to the right. It is low and behind the air intake and radiator hose. Also it is a cap not a dipstick. :)
I just want to say thank you!.. My wife has a 2014 that was stuttering while accelerating and it wasn't throwing any codes.. had no clue what it was.. did the spark plugs, coils, and even a cam/crank sensor.. saw your video and it was doing this exact thing with the rpm gauge.. went and grabbed some proper atf fluid, drained and filled and this fixed it!!! For real, thank you
Just completed the job this Sunday morning. Worked like a charm my friends! Just like you said after a while the shudder completely vanished. Thank you for clear instructions and expectations.
Great video, Thank you for posting. I had been trying to diagnose the same issue for some time with no success - you had the solution to my problem! I did use a different additive - I used the Lucas Oil Automatic Transmission Conditioner instead of the Stop Slip. Otherwise I followed the exact process. The shuttering issue was completely gone by the time I backed out of the garage.
Dude! You just saved me $2,000! I hope Lucas does give you a call cuz you need to be sponsored by them! Thank you so much!
You posted this over 2 yrs ago and thank God for you! I used your video to help me flush some fluid and make it work very well. Anyways thank you sir!
I have a 2020 Ford Edge and it was having the same issue BAD. This really worked. Looked all over for a fix and went to the Ford dealer they said everything is fine. Thank you very much!!!!
Just completed this and FIXED THE ISSUE! Thanks so much for the video!
Just a warning to all, if you remove the air box, make sure and put it back together before starting it up! Im defs not a wrencher by any means and while this video was super helpful, I started it up with the air box off for ease of access to the cap/dipstick….yikes!! Threw all kinds of codes, shifted into gear REALLY HARD, and made it VERY angry!
Replaced the box, cleared the codes, and ALL GOOD.
ALMOST INSTANTLY better! Since I bought this used, it’s running better than it EVER has!!
Thanks again!!!
It did that because when you took the air box off, you probably unplugged the mass airflow sensor and it will do exactly as you described. I bought a 2015 Taurus that did that, so I got it pretty cheap. Found the plug wasn't fully seated and when I pushed it fully in, it was perfectly normal acting
hello brother I had the same problem, cutting the third and fifth gear for a 2016 Ford Explorer. In fact, all the specialized workshops were not able to identify the problem even after the computer examination process. Unfortunately, one of the workshops asked to change the gearbox!!! I was inspired by your experience that the oil must be checked and found it smells bad, and that it must be changed, and this is what happened, but without the treated substance, only LV oil. Finally the problem disappeared completely!! One last note, the oil was found to be missing and smelly, but not burnt.
Got a new to me 2014 Explorer 112k miles recently w/shudder going into 4th. Bottle of Lucas ATC added to old fluid, drove for awhile, no more shudder. 114k miles now, just did a drain and fill of tranny with Valvoline MaxLife ATF and of course, bottle of Lucas ATC. Good Stuff!
Also, 10 years ago I got a new to me 2003 Escape w/133k and shudder/slippage in 1st under hard acceleration. Same story, same results. It's now got 206k and works just as good. Again, Good Stuff!
It worked for me ... thank you very much sir for saving me a ton of money. The mechanics I went to basically said it could be a million different things, costing a few million not only in gray hair, but also in doe. I opted to follow your advice, and I am ecstatic that I did. Worked like a charm. I owe you, sir. May the sun always shine for you and may the good of the world meet you on your life's journey.
Hey there I have a 2016 Ford Explorer. When my SUV Is in drive or reverse, it has the vibrating issue. But when it’s in neutral or park it’s literally makes no noise. Was this something similar you were having.
@@theblackknight9783 Not for me. I experienced a "Stutter" which felt like a dirty fuel filter when in drive, at low gears. I kept on thinking it was the fuel system. And mechanics felt the same, wanting to change coils and a million other things. The video convinced me to spend rather $175 (transmission oil change at Valvoline) instead of $1750 thinking they can fix it. That being said, it does completely sound like your transmission might be the issue ... I say it because as soon as you engage the transmission (forward or reverse), the shutter is there. In park there is nothing ... this was similar for me ... no stutter in park. Hope this makes sense, at least a little. Good luck.
Excellent video, my Ford Edge 2013 V6 AWD had the same problem, nobody knew what it was, I picked it up in the shop, we took out the transmission fluid and managed to replace 5 quarters, I used it for 30 minutes and took out 5 quarters of fluid again and replace with new. The car is running very well and there is no vibration. Greetings from Panama, Central America.
Thanks for sharing! I have the same vehicle with same problem. Is yours still working after changing the transmission fluid? Regards!
@@ocoeno Sorry for the delay friend, it works perfectly the transmission works very well with the flushing.
@@wzpaYT FYI I have done the same with mine and it worked, I also added some additives I was told will help. Transmission is working fine now. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this. My husband’s Explorer is at the shop right now and they’re wanting to charge $700 to flush the transmission and replace some filters and if that doesn’t work, replace the transmission. It’s a 2014. No thanks! We are gonna try this!
Thanks for a clean, straightforward, no BS delivery, very helpful.
I did this. I definitely never believed in fixes like this but I was absolutely amazed it worked. 90% of the issue is gone. If I can get another year off of it that's great!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!! I just completed this service on my 2014 Explorer and it fixed my problem!
I had the very same problem with an F250 super duty. I used Lubegard 19610 Instant Shudder Fixx, 2oz squeeze tube with excellent results.
I just got a letter from Ford a few days ago. Though they didn't issue a Recall, they extended the warranty on some Fords for the Transmission Control Module. My car is 10 years old (a 2013) My dealership changed mine today & it fixed my problems, all at no cost to me. It was shuddering, hesitating, etc. The warranty on these vehicles is effective through 6/30/25. If you're still having problems, I suggest calling your local dealership about it. The warranty (pretty much a Recall) number is 14M02.
I just did the flush the video shows and it seems to have worked so far I just did it today so haven’t driven it much. But after just reading your comment I’m calling ford tomorrow with that warranty/recall number. Thanks man
@@corypuls4279any luck?
Could you explain the symptoms? I'm having a hesitating issue with my 2014 fwd. The first problem and solution was the alternator and the wrong size Serpentine belt. Now it doing it again.
Haha 14m02 is for the Ford focus dual clutch transmission
Hey man great video I have a 13 explorer and just did this today same result. Thanks for sharing maybe those dealer techs should watch your video.
My 2014 ford Explorer limited 3.5L v6 was doing the same thing!!! I bought a bought a bottle of Lucas and had my local Ford dealership charge the trans fluid and it’s fixed!!! Thank you for making this video you helped me out so much thank you thank you!!!!!! 😁
1 year later, still working?
Man I’ve spent about 2000.00 on different things cat converters spark plugs coils injectors watched this video and it fixed it can’t believe it thanks for this video
I changed the transmission fluid and added the Lucas additive and after about 15 to 20 minutes, the car stopped shuddering. 132k miles. Thank you!
Worked for me and transmission shudder is gone completely. Thanks 👍
Thank you for posting. 2013 Explorer 3.5, same issue. Instant results, not all gone but have a feeling things will be better as we drive.
Holy cow it truly does work. I was skeptical after trying all sorts of other stuff, spark plugs etc
Took 30 minutes or less and it really works
I have a 2013 Ford explorer and it did the same thing 2nd and 3rd gear where the shutter got really bad was in 5th gear I thought I would have to replace the transmission until I seen this video thanks for putting it out there my problem is fixed
They are telling me its a mechanical error and need a new transmission
Thank you for your great instructions. I recently bought a used 2013 Explorer and it had the shudder. I followed your instructions and so far there is a significant difference. It is not gone completely yet, but I am hoping with driving it more it will go away. Thanks again
How many miles on your explorer? I have a 2013 and it started to the shudder at 145,000 miles.
@@Movieman1965 I have 460,000 kms on mine, and it has this shudder, but mild. Will try this
Did it this morning and it worked almost immediately. Much appreciated post!
I had the exact problem with my 2013 ford explorer.. This totally worked for me. Thanks so much!
Update?
@MANGUMELITE still working great. Just crossed 200K miles. Problem first started occurring around 140K.
@@chrisbishop6352hey. Thanks for your reply. I have a 2013 explorer and the shudder started at around 145,000 miles. I've been nervous how to solve this. I'm going to try this. Wish me luck. 🤞
My 2016 Ford Escape is at the dealer right now, and they just called to tell me they can't find anything wrong. I'm also paying $200 for a diagnosis... I know in my guts something isn't right, so I started searching and I found your video... THANK YOU! I knew I wasn't crazy and being a woman you get a lot of crap when you say you know your car. Well, I know my car. And my dad is a (retired) mechanic, and doesn't have a shop or he would be doing this. But he always taught me to trust my gut. Thank you again, this video is incredibly helpful!
Did this help and they think I'm crazy at my dealership too 😢
I had this exact same problem, my explorer is a 2014 with 77k miles. I took it to the dealer thinking it was the throttle body which was supposed to be covered under the warranty. They told me they weren’t going to replace it under the warranty and that it’s $150 for the tech to put his computer on it to see if he could figure out what was wrong with it. It doesn’t have any codes so they told me that they can’t promise anything. I said “NO WAY” to that and kept searching for answers. I’m glad I found this video. I did exactly as the video shows and then took it out for a drive it shuttered very little for the first five miles but it’s been perfect after that. it’s now a week later and still going strong. Thank you
Is it still good until now?
@@alavarenautoelectricalserv5282 yeah still working like a champ.
My wife drove from Provo to Rexburg idaho and back. The problem has not come back.
Hi Carl, did your ford also have acceleration delay and your car jerk when you accelerate? . I have a Ford Explorer 2013 with same issue .
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this I've never tried it before u do a great job on your videos hope your doing well stay safe
Thanks for sharing this information. This really helped out with my vehicle problem.
I have this problem.. And the dealership charges me for, battery and spark plugs. Now the dealership says the transmissions is bad... Now am going to try this. I hope it works for me. Thanks for the video.
Did you do this, my 2014 edge same issue. Going to try this next weekend
Been running down this same.issue and about to give it a try. Had a z71 doing similar problems few years back. Smart Blend fluid additive is the best I've ever seen and works extremely well. Only one I would recommend honestly. It reconditions the valve body which cures the issue. Awesome stuff 😎👍
Awesome video, thank you. I just got a quote to replace the transmission in my 2014 Explorer due to this same issue. Feels like a misfire but no codes. I am going to try this first and pray it works. Thanks again.
I thought my 2011 had trans issue as well. I changed my plugs and drives like off the showroom floor.
Any luck? I have a 2014 explorer doing the same have spent 100s on mechanics please lmk
Couldn't be explained any more clearly - thanks!
Worked right away no shudder I used a different additive works like new thank you!
This is a huge help. My transmission is beginning to shift a little rough at times and I will definitely use this method if it gets worse. I have a 2014 with 121,000
Does yours shift hard? Have you tried this yet
@@thefuenteslorenzo I ended up doing a fluid change @125,000 but didnt use the Lucas additive. I’m gonna do one more before it gets a fluid flush at 150,000
Did the drain help the shudder?
My wife's 2014 Explorer Sport has 86,xxxmi. Had the notorious stretched timing chain. $3,500 later I have a completely new timing system and water pump. Two weeks after I got it back I started feeling this shudder especially when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I was convinced I was going to now have to rebuild the entire trans and replace the torque converter to the tune of several more thousands of dollars. The mechanic who did the timing chain job told me to add Instant Shudder Fixx and even gave a tube of it to me for free off his shelf. Added it in the parking lot. Drove it for 15 mins and the shudder completely went away. Permanent fix? No, probably not, but if it can get me another 2-3 years out of the trans before I have to spend a fortune on getting it rebuilt, I am ok with that.
Glad i came across this video my 2013 explorer xlt was doing same thing did same thing you did and solved my problem thank you sir
I havr the same tellong me i need a new transmission and its a mechanical failure inside
Dealers too often fail to solve problems. The main issue they have no problem with is charging the heck out of the customer and not doing the job.
You got that right. I been lied to so many times. They said the catalytic converter had to be replaced for a electric water pump code on my Prius. I got a quote for 6,000 I did it for $230 bucks. The main problem in the USA is that you will always refer to the SERVICE ADVISER not the mechanic. (STEALERSHIPS)
@@Mid2stars Far too many people are so greedy they end up becoming crooks. This should be reported to the BBB and the dealer´s upper management whether they care or not and even to customer service of the manufacturer. They usually have an 800 number because this surely puts a smear on their reputation.
I had a mechanic friend. Had a rack full of good transmissions, he charged customer's for overhauls/replacements when they just needed filter changes or flushes.
It works! I just did this in a 2014 Ford Edge 6-speed......no more shudder.
Thank You!
I have a 14 flex, same thing, my shudder is violent and at 2nd gear,
You are a legend for this. Made such a difference in my car
Any chance you could do an update video? I know everyone is curious if this fix lasted.
Ford has had vibration issues with every OD transmission since the early 80's. Lucas isn't magic but it definitely helps.
We have been having this problem with our 2014 Explorer. Mostly on the lower gears while accelerating slowly. Oddly, if you accelerate quickly, it does not seem to happen. We have a close friend with the same vehicle (2015) that seemed to have the same issue, after several repair shops could not fix the issue, I believe it was AAmco that said the transmission needed to be replaced....and almost $5000 later her problem was solved...lol I'm going to try this idea before I spend that kind of money. My Explorer has about 130,000 miles on it. Regardless, transmission replacement should not be necessary at this mileage or age of vehicle....but that's just me.
I have this same issue on my 17 Explorer. 1 and 2 are PERFECT, you hit third and it literally acts like a "slip" for a couple seconds and suddenly it catches. Plan on changing the bs out of that transmission anyways so this is likely the issue. I bet yours feels tighter too.
This fixed my '15 Explorer thank you!!!
My 2014 base model had 140k with no trans issues. Change fluid out every 30k tho
Yes. Worked great. Still no issues at all.
After how many miles you noticed the improvement?
DJ great fix! I have a 2001 F150 with 355k. Same engine and transmission. I just stay on top of maintenance. Burns rubber if I stomp on it, lol. Still has original water pump, radiator. I am waiting till it blows up..like the cartoons! If it does I'll fix it! Stay safe! Thanks for your vids!
I had somebody I know with this issue, they spent 3k having the timing chain replaced in the 3.5 ecoboost taurus 2014 sho. Still shuddered, ended up draining and filling the 6f55 3 times with amsoil atf and it seemed to fix the shudder.
In my opinion as a 2015 taurus sho owner, fluid maintenance is key 100% and if you are told its lifetime fill go learn to change it yourself it's actually not that difficult just takes practice and preplanning.
I've got 2013 sho police interceptor and it has a bad shudder. I've been looking all over for months but no info anywhere, just trying to baby it until I can dave enough gor a new tranny. Just change the fluid a couple times?
Also the dealership said looks like you need to replace the whole thing that'll just run you $6,400 and we can do it here. But th y never gave me the diagnostic report I took it to them to get in the first place. Just you need to let us replace it for $6,400.
@@peterm474 you could try an adaptive relearn reset for the powertrain. I believe all 2013 to 2019 Taurus's have a 7.5 amp fuse in the engine bay fuse box. Pull that fuse out and leave it out for 15 minutes. Turn the car on and let idle for 20 minutes so the throttle body can relearn base idle. Next let idle for 1 minute with the AC on. Finally take the car for a test drive and get a good mix of city and highway driving.
In the event of transmission shudder it could be a bad torque converter. But in my opinion I'd rule out as much as possible like changing the spark plugs and sometimes the PTU can cause a lot of play in the driveshaft and cause shudder. Lastly could be a bad set of motor mounts causing the powertrain the have more noticeable vibrations, just my opinions.
Thank-you so much. I'm going to try this myself. Mine is 3rd 4th and 5th.
Hi! I maybe experience the same..could xado or licqui moly addtivie fix it? Here in my country is difficult to get the lucas..
I got a same problem!
I was wondering from one month and went to make workshops.. I gona try this today to ma car !!
I did this, and then also added shutter fixx. 100% fixed.
Thank you for your tipI fix my transmission
Great video! I'm more curious about the double axle Ford in the back?
Just so you know. To properly change the transfluid you need about 13 quarts. The trans doesnt fully drain from the bottom plug. It only drains about half the fluid. The correct procedure is to drain and refill 3 times with around 4 quarts. With driving done in between. For anyone who does this in the future. Put that additive in at the last refill. Cheers.
That depends how dirty the fluid is. If it’s dirty then u only change some of it
@@Tonyinterviewz if its being done at the recommended interval the fluid has lost the necessary lubrication properties. It needs a full exchange. No flushes with chemicals, just full fluid change and maybe the additive for added protection.
if you just unscrew the plug the amount in this video is how much comes out, what you are talking about can be done with a trans flush machine, but this is just a transmission service performed in the video not a full flush changing all the fluid, theres no need to change all the fluid unless its super dirty or your just rich and have the money to waste, because I've done this on multiple vehicles and the trans functions like brand new after a few hundred miles of driving on all of them.
@@calvin4319 its not about being rich. Plus doing the flush service at a shop is way more expensive than just the fluid needed for a service. That full exchange should be done at every 100k miles or so unless you drive in heavy duty conditions like heavy start/stop or towing. Then its sooner, like 70k. It says it in the manual. If you look at the transmission fluid capacities, there is as much as 13qts of oil. Exchanging only a 1/3 of the fluid isnt really enough.
@@calvin4319 WHY would you SKIMP on TENS of dollars or $200 of fluid during the contaminant ridding flush ?
ESPECIALLY as a DESPERATE non technical car owner ? Who could remove the transmission draining bolt.
But to whom SUMP PAN removal was an awe inspiring, Unexplored Universe ?
Of mind-numbing stress and uncertainty, filled with a spinning reality populated by Laughing Leprechauns and possible.., unrecoverable .... insanity ?
$4 000 - parts and fitting - Transmission/gearbox (bargain basement - RECONDITIONED parts) (Australian dollars)
NEW parts are going to elevate the PRICE and simultaneously ... blood pressure of stressed (broke) real world clients, ... / people.
That's IF all parts received ARE the 'right parts' on the 1st or second attempt.
100% wrong shows quickly.
20% wrong parts is dangerous, confusing and consumes time/money/customer relations/profit/outcomes.
Engine/gearbox replacement in vehicles 10 - 15 years is what auto-wreckers LIVE for.
$4-$8 k vehicles with unresolved 'issues' can become unsellable to the general consumer
Especially if it is near or passed registration required date.
Private buyers are as TERRIFIED of 'car problems' .... as the seller is.
4-5-6 $k of CAR VALUE REMOVED, but purchase will still not occur.
Adding clean trans fluid till symptoms disappear,
CAR FLIPPING in dealerships and others would use this technique,
when they wanted to defraud people and share their own pain with others.
I have a 2003 mustang with the v6 automatic tranny I have a tyranny that has hard shifts sometimes its kinda based on what I'm doing but if I'm starting out at 0 or 10 and just put it to the floor it shift smooth as butter and runs good but if I'm going say 60 and tryna get it to shift once down out of O/D into 3 I don't exactly push full throttle maybe half and sometimes it just stays in same gear and bogs down because the gearing disadvantage but something it will just kinda start shifting around like it doesn't know what to do and once it makes its mind up it smacks itself and then goes taking about 5-10 seconds during that process I have changed my fluid last year when swapping the engine (different issue with heads and valves leaking) and unintentionally drained all the fluid however it was doing this before and the fluid was almost brand new anyway had at least 5 years on it but still looked good. Assuming you read all this do you think redoing the fluid and adding this additive may help this problem?
I will be trying this tomorrow, thanks.
This was a Gr8 video TY hope it does the trick . I’m also fond of Lucas products and I’m not a proponent of liquid mechanic products either . I have subscribed
I have a 13 that has this problem. A friend has one to and they replaced the torque convertor and it fixed it.
Yes. Expensive fix though. My mechanic ended up giving me this option after checking on spark plugs, throttle, coil packs.
@@benjaminmatos4244 we ended up changing the tranny fluid and it fixed it.
There ya go...It worked on a 2014 I just finished up. Had to drive it about 10 miles and it straighten up fine.
My 2019 escape is doing this. Will this work on this year
Man! You really helped me out. Thanks!
On my 2013 ford exsplorer book manual it say don’t change the transmission fluid but should I still do it
Gracias por conpartir, mi Ford Explorer Xlt 2015 tiene ya 4 dias qué tiene este problema y enpeso con un tronido en lado izquierdo cuando davao buelta al lado izquierdo y despues se le Quito y enpeso con shudder no se si es el mismo problema pero hace lo mismo qué tu Explorer qué me recomindas tu?
2019 Ford Escape had the same issue. Changed the fluid no more issues. 5 and a 1/4 quart for the change.
Awesome video thank you sir you know I took my Explorer to two shops and neither one I’m fixed it ,,this fixed it ,,kind of pisses me off
I wonder if this would work on an older Ford Explorer
My truck does it on 3rd gear but manual say they don’t need to be change is that true
2023 here man thanks u I fix my I doe the same now the runs perfect
I've just had the same issue with my 2015 Ford Explorer and I saw your video and actually gave me the idea of what the diagnosis was for my problem so I do appreciate that I didn't use the Lucas but I was advised by a transmission specialist to use friction modifier I got it from a Ford dealer only about $8 for a bottle and it actually took out the shutter as well but I just wonder how long these liquid temp fixes are going to last?
Man I really want to thank you for the advice 👍
My wife's 2014 sport awd has been doing this for about a month now. Gonna stop by o'reilly otw home! Will update!
update?
I wonder what this would do to my 14 flex, I get the shudder around 20mph, and its so violent! This video looks tame next to mine. Wonder if it would help mine
I have a 2014 Explorer that shudders at near zero speed. The Lucas additive would solve that as well?
I wonder if just a fluid change may have fixed the problem. Was it the new fluid helping the trans pressures or the Lucas?
Will this work for 2013 Ford edge? I was told with my model edge it's not good to change fluid because it could lead to more problems....
So i did exactly this and it made my transmissions better but still does it on occasions and its been a couple hundred miles of driving now and not gone away. Any ideas?
I have a problem but I don't know if it the same but when I go up a hill my car start to jump 3 times and if I lower the speed it will stop doing it.
Outstanding video. Thank you.
My explorer started to do something like this recently, but it has 180K miles. Is it too late to change the transmission fluid.
Performed this on a 2014 Ford Taurus with the same issue. Night and day difference.
