I would do a double drain and refill instead. I never liked the flush machines.

The transmissions on these cars notoriously are underlined from the factory. Normally Ford states you can wait until 130k miles, but I don’t think it would hurt to it now.

on the 10 speeds do not do a flush ever, pan and filter drop only came over from the newer rangers and 30 to 40k is the sweet spot to do the change on the trans,

Thank you and this is interesting because I just joined the forum to figure out what's up with my 31K ST starting the whole trans shuddering routine. Every inch of my truck is under warranty but dealing with my local Ford dealership is a total PITA.

Had mine done about a month ago, at 40k miles, when they did the rear bushing/bolt and camera recall work.

it kind sucks but fords dealer network is really bad right now. i personally lost most of the service people that took care of my cars and trucks, we still got 1 or 2 sorta of good service in our area but not as much as we used to ...
