You got it! Unfortunately at the Ford Dealership. Make sure you are sitting down when they quote the price. :)

[@WannaBFree]

Mine was 4K about 4 years ago. It's still going strong today with no issues since the replacement and I pull a small trailer with it when we go camping.

I'm installing a new Transmission in my 2013 Ford Transit Connect soon. The factory instructions didn't mention a relearn procedure recommendation after the new install. This might be why the Dealer missed programming your new Transmission. I have dealer level scan tools with up to date software. I will be sure to update the software for the PCM & Transmission Control Module(s). Thanks for sharing this important information with the General Public.

Thank you for posting this. I was able to find a video online explaining how to reset the transmission computer and the adaptive learning. The vehicle shifts a lot smoother now. Thank you again for posting this. Have a great day!

[@WannaBFree]

You are welcome, I'm glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching :)

[@danielecohen2266]

glad to hear you had success. Do you mind posting that video about resetting the computer here?

[@PidasianHippie]

Good information. This may save a many van owners a lot of money. I am happy that the fix this time was fairly simple and at no cost.

[@WannaBFree]

I was too :)

[@cinnamon--girl]

So glad it all got sorted out for you Bruce. Thank you for the tip!

[@WannaBFree]

Thank you and you are quite welcome.

[@tinabeane]

Glad to hear it was an easy fix. Good information, thanks for sharing I've not heard about that from any other vanners.

[@WannaBFree]

You are welcome, hope you are doing well and thank you for watching.

[@paulhunter546]

Hey Bruce..glad you got it sorted out. As for using overdrive..if it shifts out of OD I turn it off till I'm running level again. Sounds like that dealer that replaced your trans did substandard work..not updating the software.

[@WannaBFree]

Thanks Paul, I agree with everything you said. :)

[@davidhall3747]

I'm installing the same Transmission soon. Ford factory instructions didn't mention that a TCM relearn procedure is required. I'm glad I found this video. I'm a Technician and rely on the Manufacturers instructions. I'm a little disappointed that Ford missed printing the Mandatory software update after the new Transmission installation.

[@chuckwalters4759]

I'm now thinking as a new owner of a 2011 Connect too have that reset.

[@fishman0069]

i replace this x2 due to slipping, its doing it again, the shop I used closed due to this COVID.i am installing a cooler today, i bet they did not clean the old cooler. no codes, fluid is clean and not burned

[@WannaBFree]

It stinks doing this one time I can't imagine going through it twice. I didn't know the Transit Connect had a transmission cooler. It will be interesting to find out how it works for you this time. I hope it does great!

[@noodles806]

This is great info, looking up how to reset the transmission adaptive learning now. Thanks!

[@WannaBFree]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vacuumtube1954]

Good morning and thank you for this video and sharing your knowledge. Sure appreciate it.

[@WannaBFree]

Good morning, you are quite welcome. Thanks for stopping by!

[@101perspective]

Holy cow, I didn't even know that overdrive button existed. Do most automatics have that? All of my prior vehicles were manual. I know exactly what you are talking about in regards to how it sometimes can't decide between 3rd and 4th going up hills. I thought that was just a flaw with the vehicle. To compensate I would always just let off the gas until it stuck in one gear. Hope no damage was caused.

[@WannaBFree]

Yes, most automatics have an overdrive button. At least you know about it now :)

[@tiliman]

Good info Bruce!! LOL on the umm blooper 😜👍😈

[@WannaBFree]

I couldn't help myself from posting it. LOL

[@marshabrown8337]

Great news and great information. Take care.

[@WannaBFree]

That it is, take care:)

[@travisallen206]

I know this is older video but autozone will not reset any check engine lights

[@WannaBFree]

Thanks for the info.

[@davidhall3747]

Reseting the MIL will not solve problems with your car. If the problem is resolved- the MIL will go off automatically.

[@Nemo-yn1sp]

What's the name of the part again? I couldn't understand. Thanks!

[@WannaBFree]

I don't know what part you are referring to.

[@nesledder6094]

How much did the transmission replacement cost? Thanks

[@WannaBFree]

4K

[@andrewseamans1419]

Is the Connect still going strong? We are considering a Wagon for family transportation. Not looking to tow with it. Wish they made them with a six speed manual.

[@WannaBFree]

Yes Andrew, the Connect is still going strong. I would also like to have a six speed manual transmission. Unfortunately they are all automatic transmissions here in the United States.

[@mazecentric4124]

Thanks for the info!

[@WannaBFree]

You are welcome :)

[@jussjasoGenfree]

Hi My ford 2013 connect xlt the car shifts from drive to neutral with just a tap without pressing the shift button, is that normal?

[@WannaBFree]

Yes that's normal

[@luperamos7307]

How much would it be to have the transmission replaced on this car? I have a Ford Transit Connect I purchased used with 50k miles. Immediately noticed issues with the shifting but the dealer always dismissed it even though I had warranty. So all I did was a transmission fluid change and one dealer said they found a problem they found with the transmission. Not sure what that could have been or what could be fixed that easily on a transmission.

[@WannaBFree]

Mine was 4K about 5 years ago. I would guess it's quite a bit more than that now in 2024 but I really don't know.

[@luperamos7307]

@@WannaBFree That was at an official Ford dealer with warranty, right? Thanks for letting me know. Cars have just gotten so expensive that I want to hold on longer to the ones I have

[@WannaBFree]

Yes that was at a Ford Dealership with full warranty. Also it was a NEW genuine Ford Transmission not a rebuild or refurbished transmission. I agree with you 100% to keep the vehicles you currently own and keep them running!

[@spywriter007]

I am looking to get a new brand new connect. Is it a pretty good vehicle over all?

[@WannaBFree]

Personally I would not buy a new connect. It's a gutless vehicle and will barely get out of it's own way. Everything is cheap and it's a bottom of the line vehicle IMO.

[@spywriter007]

@@WannaBFree Well I don't know of too many small vans that are better. Dodge Promaster City for example has an oil burning problem.

[@WannaBFree]

I've had a lot of problems with the automatic door locks too. They have a plastic gear in the mechanism inside the door that will strip the gears and the locks won't work automatically any more. I've replaced two of the them and that job is no fun but it does fix the lock function. My van is a 2010 so hopefully a new one won't have this problem for many years or maybe they have changed the design on the newer models. The reality is they all have problems of some sort or another. I suppose you just get the one you like the best and do your best to enjoy it.

[@michaelhowardrosskrh74]

Would be alot more informative if started video with the year n mileage of vehicle. Just saying Ford transit connect is not very specific.

[@TheJuan333]

That’s what people think it’s a tansmission problem but in reality it’s the computer 😮

[@katpow5437]

Lol, blooper.
