Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

If theres a recall there should be no charge, but it states that on the recall notice. If you are taking the vehicle back for a TSB then it depends on when your car was put into service (bought) and whether you have an extended warranty. Noise's (squeaks/rattles) are done after the first three years. But always call your dealership, with your vin and you can find out whats, what..

Question Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

The link to the Trans Gear isn't working. My 3rd and )D went out at 41000 miles. Lucky me?? SO now I am looking into making major improvements inside the trans. But was curious what the TSB was for just in case they have an explanation for the whine I had from the trans or maybe...???? Just some cash would be nice to offset my cost. haha Another thing is the Auto in the Mach's a 4R70W or the 4R75W? Thanks, George

Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

Here’s a copy of the TSB 04-26-13 04 Mustang 1-2 shift clash. My Mach is in the shop for the fix. On the 04’s Ford states 3-4 shift is ok. They are only doing 1-2 fix on mine.

This is a serious problem. Due to overheating, some engines get burned valve guides and need head replacement. There is a pretty good theory that the cooling capability on this engine is insufficient, so the damage is done sooner or later. Some drivers think an upgraded (hi-flow) water pump is an answer to combat it. There's also a modification to plumbing the improve water flow.

4R70W or 4R75W

So do you know how to fix the problem? I assume you are talking about chaging the plumbing meaning the hoses???

Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

Are the TSB's good for the life of the car or before the warranty has expired? i just bought an 03 mach 1 and was wondering if my car were to have any of these bulletins and the previous owner did not have them looked at am i still able to have them checked out?

They're "good" for life, but they don't warrant a free repair if your car is outside the warranty. A recall is a free repair, but a TSB is just a special instruction for fixing a known issue.

Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

Is there an updated list of TSB's for the machs?

also, if a car has under 36k miles, but since now it is 2007 almost 2008, does the warranty go to whichever comes first? I have never understood that...

Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

How much is a syncro repair? The mach I'm purchasing has the 1st to 2nd gear issue even tho she has 8200 miles on her. Is this something to worry about will it get worse or is it simply better to get it fixed?

ONE BILLION DOLLARS!............ask in a TRANNY thread. Don't buy a car WITH the issue , unless you take off that amount to replace the tranny.


WTH are you talking about??????????
The Colonel is an old man and doesn't know all the newfangled text message shorthand used by the younger crowd of today.



Everything else +1.

2003 Mach 1's have all expired their factory warranties, and probably nearly all 2004 models have by now as well. I wouldn't buy a Mach with known transmission issues (or a head tick) unless you absolutely positively must have that one AND the price is dropped considerably.

A TSB has absolutely nothing to do with warranty issues....it's simply a guide for the ford techs to use when fixing a problem, whether you are paying for the repair or Ford is.

You weren't totally at fault for being in the dark aboot what N Y One was referring to. I've seen "ne1" used before in place of "anyone" but never "N Y One", or maybe "ne1" wasn't used because a person using it could be confused as saying they really, really like the Patriots

Re: Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's)

Sorry i've read this and am confused... If i'm still under ford warranty and i have the mods in my sig will they do the tsb for the ticking noise and 1-2 grind. My car is an 03 with 27k miles and the extended warranty is good until 2009. I bought my car with all the mods on it and transferred the warranty over to me. Also i took the car to a ford dealership to have everything checked out and they said everything was good on it before i bought it.
