Ford Drivers Face Costly 10-Speed Transmission Repairs

Ford Motor Co owners face costly transmission repairs up to $13,000 as a slipping clutch drum bushing plagues 10-speed gearboxes in vehicles like the F-150. The issue affects models built through 2022 with odometers well below 100,000 miles. Without a blanket recall from the automaker, out-of-warranty drivers bear the heavy financial burden.
