Transmission went last night

Glock hit the nail on the head above.

I would print and provide your dealer with a copy of this... http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/ford-recalls-92022-vehicles-for-loss-of-drive-function.html

Dealers have not been alerted about this impending recall.

Good call, sholxgt! Here is the recall-related info for the driveshaft:

When I took it in, my service advisor said he thinks it sounds like the CV joint and front axle. While it was still up on the tow truck, he looked underneath and showed me the front passenger side CV boot that was torn with fluid coming out. They weren't able to fully look at it today though because I got there late.

This is good news and totally related to the known issue. I am relieved that it is likely not the PTU or transmission.

I wonder if the OP had the half-shaft recall performed,inspected.....its sometimes Wise to stay on TOP of RECALL'S and have them performed in a timely manner. Z

I did. They said they did the inspection when I got it done, and nothing had to be changed out. That's what they said when I went in for the recall.

I can see that this is a problem that could easily pass inspection, but then not pass 10,000 miles later. Just need the retaining clip to work it's way to the wrong position over time and then you have a problem.

Reminds me of the differential pins in the old SHO's that weren't peened properly. My '89 made it to 23x,000 miles before it wiggled loose and had a catastrophic failure.

SHOdded · July 06, 2016, 11:58:42 AM

Yeah, the diff pin for the MTX SHO = the trans equivalent of a rod thru the engine block

Okay, so the service advisor called me and confirmed it was a busted front axle. My car will be down for a week since they have to ship the parts to here in Honolulu. He said it's covered under the power train warranty, so that's good too. Thanks for all the help!

Great news

At least you have the great sunrises and sunsets to cheer you up some

Sweet, I was feeling bad for you until you said you're in Honolulu lol.

Nice to see they are replacing under warranty and not blaming your mods.

sholxgt · July 06, 2016, 08:57:49 PM

Decent outcome so far. Please let us know what all they replace. Hope it all goes smoothly.

SHOFan808 · July 08, 2016, 11:49:11 PM

Haha thanks guys. Yeah the service advisor is pretty cool. When he called me to tell me what broke and that it was covered under the power train warranty, he then said in a jokingly voice, "You're launching it too hard. You gotta ease up on the launch, or start looking for some aftermarket half shafts or something." I told him, "Launching it? I don't know what you're talking about... As far as aftermarket half shafts, I don't think anyone makes those for this car." He said, "Well I know you said you're on the forums, so if you see something like that, you should get it. I know those help out on the Cobras." Yeah he's cool.

Hopefully the car is ready soon. It sucks trying to make arrangements with my family with only one car. Trying to avoid spending money on a rental.
