I agree totally that the new trannys just plain suck! People will defend their brand of vehicle like it is a person. I have said it a million times and will say it a million more that the electronics junk on these vehicles is doing more harm than anything else on them. I have five fords and the newest is a lincoln navigator and the quality is so bad it has almost become a unrelenting joke to me if it will make it to its destination anymore without something else going wrong with it or stranding me. Its too bad you cant take the E4OD to the junkyard and put a C-6 in it. I have an 88 F-350 and that has the ZF5speed in it and it is a piece of crap too. Don't put one of those in there. It is a rattley sounding horrible transmission. Ford took a wrong turn in designing vehicles and it is doubtful they will still be around to build more much longer. I know I would not take a new ford suv or pickup right now for free if Bob Barker gave it to me on the price is right. I don't have enough time in my life to keep it running. My car is a Lincoln Mark V111 that has been an air suspension nightmare. Just replaced all electronic suspension with struts and now I love the car. Much more reliable. Have raced mustangs for years and the C-4 trans in one has held up like a trooper. T-5 five speed in other one was cheap and I broke it but I upgraded it to all heavy gears and now it is a tough piece with no electronics to fail. I like stuff simple and strong and Ford doesn't offer that anymore. I am starting to like the sound of a volkeswagon diesel someday.
