Well, my luck continues and here's my new major breakdown. I was pulling out of a car wash and made a right-hand turn and it slipped a little bit .. I was not on it at all .. but it "slapped" when it regained traction  and I think it took out the casing or ripped out the shaft .. not sure which but there is transmission oil satans black smelly urine all the way down the block and it makes a really neat noise when you try to drive it.

Pictures will be later I hate posting pictures on this forum by my phone

ok its later.  just the oil mess a I am not working on this myself..

Sorry brother.  Look at the bright side.  You can build a bullet proof  tranny now.

Lol, I wish. I am not that mechanically inclined and they really don't make much in terms of aftermarket parts for the transmission for my 2010.

 
OMFG .. THE SMELL .. WTH???  Seriously do they take urine and feces from demons, dead cats, meth and  cram them into these units?

this is the most awful thing I've ever smelled and I've taken apart a supercharger when I was dumb..
 
Neat side note, as long as I drove straight I was able to safely get off the side of the road using the power of the rears to propel the vehicle...
 
How often do you have it flushed?  I do mine every 30k because my 2010 TC went bad at 112k.  It might be the PTU fluid also.

2010 has no plug that I can access, and the dealership refused to change the lifetime fluid.

 
Sorry to hear about the mischief with the Trans......
I hope the ESP got you covered!
BTW feel free to send me a link of the PICS and will have them running up in no time! Best of luck.  Z
 
I think the ptu failed tbh.  Has happened to another sho owner recently, goes by CHOPPA on shoforum. 

At least the acle didnt pop out at speed :P. Hope warranty covers the work.

That's because they wanted to install your new tranny.

Yup, hope my aftermarket ultra platinum warranty is still in effect ...

Are you going to remove that methanol injection and tune before you attempt that warranty claim?
 
I was fortunate enough to lose a PTU as well in my 2010.  Car stunk fo a few weeks.  That was covered by the certified Ford used car warranty.

Na.  There was not time really to de-prep it... And the kit is in the trunk and the nozzle UNDER the rubber hotpipe.  If all he does is look at it on the lift and walk around  like I suspect he won't see anything.  All lines are sleeved, and I have no being mods ..

The only catch will be the TCU.. if it requires flashing the ECU to mate to the TCU I will have some 'splaining to do...
