Hi
So beginning of this month I bought a 2010 EL limited and today a mechanic told me that I have transmission problems. He said he wasn’t a transmission guy so he couldn’t be for sure. But he was pondering it could be a solenoid. It shudders when shifting and makes an intermittent groaning noise from under the hood.
I’m terrified. It might not be the solenoid from the research I’ve done, it could be contaminated fluid, or a worn torque converter?
I think I want to get the transmission flushed and hopefully that fixes it. Is that a good idea? How much will it cost. I’ve never had a sealed transmission or have had to go to a dealer. Will Ford dealerships even exchange the fluid or are they just going to tell me I need a new transmission?
I’m scared.
