I have a 2008 Ford Edge, about 83,500 miles. My transmission started to stutter, jerk before shifting. This happens about 40-45 mph and around 60 mph. I took it to the dealer where I bought it. Now 3 vists later and spending $1700 for a new PTO unit and seals. I still have my original problem. It is most noticable when going up an incline. The tranny stutters, jerks, then RPMs climb and speed picks up a little. This is starting to happen more. The dealer does not know what is wrong with my car. Does anyone have any ideas?

I love my Edge but this is getting ridiculous. i had the PTU replaced at 20,000 miles under warranty. Now at 83,000 I need it replaced again. The bearings are fried, the gear oil like glue. They installed new seals but I am leaking black oily fluid everywhere on my garage floor. Worse than it was before. Car smells like burnt oil continuously. Does Ford make a PTU that lasts?
