differential rear end factory defect. *tr
Truck will not go into proper gear. You have to put emergency brake on and put transmission in neutral to crank the vehicle. Then you have to put gear shift into a different gear setting to be able to drive. The auto gear box linkage cable has issues. The truck will not go into park and will result in the vehicle running you over or run into something.
While in neutral there is a whinning noise push clutch in it quietens but its tough switching into gears. It grinds very hard to put shifter in any gear. Now it whines all the time. And it grinds even more now going from first to second upon accelerating . When in reverse it stutters really bad ive checked all fluids.
truck is a f-150 with a 3.55 limited slip axle. there is a very noticeable whine coming from the rear differentail. noise starts at 40 mph but is most noticeable at 60 mph. noise is with slight acceleration, if i take my foot off the gas it stops. i have had the truck to the dealer three different times. they have replaced the bearings, drive shaft and gears but it hasn't helped. this is a widespread known problem but they don't seem to have a fix for the problem. i would never be able to sell this truck with this problem.*ak

the standard transmission grinds going into third all the time and going into first sometimes. this has been going on since 40,000 miles. after many trips to the dealer, i finally found out that this is a common problem and they would do nothing for me. i love the truck, but hate the transmission.*ak
