Thanks Layla, This is frustrating; of course, all the transmission shops I've called and/or been too; keep saying oh, you need a Transmission Rebuild right off the top of their heads. I'll pick up another code reader that reads transmissions and ABS Brakes.

Thanks for sharing, I have a 2005 LS Sport w/ 109K Miles. I am now having Transmission Shifting problems mostly when cold from (3 - 4) and sometimes (2 - 3). Background: Had a new Pump Seal and Torque Converter installed about 9 Months ago due to a Transmision Fluid Over Fill caused by a shop...

Thanks, Always good to know!

I hear you re: the cooling system: Joegr is correct! I have the sport model. Good luck in chasing down the factory hoses as most have been discontinued. Also, there may be a Jaguar equivalent (Don't quote me on that) However, there is one saving grace; If you find an aftermarket version e.g...

Hi Folks, Have an update: Good News: The Transmission Overfill did not destroy my Pump Seal; Per Leon's Transmission (Santa Clarita, CA): The Transmission is doing what it's supposed to do if overfilled. From driving the fluid splashed all over the bottom and looked liked the Pump Seal was...

They said they were filling it from the bottom..

Thanks Joegr; If the other Mechanic was there this probably would not have happened; The owner and other mechanic said they followed the All Data Instructions and lost count of the number of pumps when refilling the Transmission. On one hand, not many shops would admit they screwed up; And...

Thanks xford! They have one in Santa Clarita not too far down the hill (30 mi) from the Antelope Valley.. It will be the first week in June before I get it there. Will post an update..

Hi Folks, hope thigs are well; Background: Original LS Expert Mechanic is no longer employed at local shop: Problem: When installing the new radiator apparently a lot of Transmission Fluid was lost when disconnecting the transmission lines. Which resulted in overfilling the transmission and...

Thanks for sharing Clubairth, It's got the correct 2256 and 5W4Z8005AA Interchange #'s for Gen 1's, Gen II's.

Thanks Rich, Joegr, JustALs, SultanGrls, I ended up ordering a P2256 Radiator from CarParts.com (First time ordering) The person on the phone actually did some in depth research e.g. Vin#, Ford / Motorcraft Part number supersedes, cross reference etc. and all the correct Part Numbers came back...

Thanks Joe, I won't even ask 'Why' it's designed it this way....

Hi Folks, Are the Two Hoses connected from the DCC Valve and Heater Pipes 'High Pressure' Hoses? I'm thinking not because they both attach to the DCC Valve with regular hoses clamps, however they attach to the Heater Pipes with 'Quick Connects', both of the Factory Hoses (3W4Z-18N344-AB +...

Thanks Rich, I guess I could pull one and have it rebuilt..(only if there's a rebuilt kit still available)

Hey, Joe, You always come through.. Thanks! I try O'Reilly's You know it's Weird.. I talked to a Car Quest Parts Guy and they have two Radiators with the exact same description and I think the descriptions are misleading re: the Oil Cooler.. they state 'No' as if the radiator comes with an...
