Blown Transmission

[enphor]

He told me they got the transmission out and found that a vent tube was melted from the cat of the aftermarket exhaust. He said this may have caused the transmission to overheat and fail!

So they are blaming the down-pipes causing heat melting a tube? Crap , just had downpipes installed, maybe I should have had them wrapped. Did you take any preventative measures after your ordeal?

They just made sure the tube was clear of the exhaust when they reinstalled everything.

I just re read this entire thread

You didn't have tune installed at time of trans taking a powder?
Good it turned out positive
Maybe ford needs a metal vent tube
Even stock...space is freaking tight

No, It wasn’t tuned. It was going in for warranty work so I never put it back in.

Did you ever get any post mortem on what failed?
