My first tranny lost its torque converter so it wipe trans out with contamination. The first reman. wasn't shifting correctly so they changed valve body but that didn't help so they put another tranny in. My shifting problem was mainly in reverse when at operating temp on warm to hot days only. It seemed like converter wasn't unlocking at first then it would release if I let off the throttle and then I could back-up.It was like I had my foot on the brakes while trying to back up. The second replacement would do the same thing but not as often so I lived with it until my warranty was about to expire so I took it in and Ford said LOTS of metal dust in oil after 25k miles,so they replaced it again. That was the third replacment.I now have 25k+ on the current one and still have that same binding problem. Next tranny is on me
