Anybody know the part # and the cheapest place you can get a solenoid assembly for transmission on a 2008 Ford Edge. The one I got is just to troubleshoot now I need to buy one

Fixed the transmission. The root cause was bad TCM/solenoid pack. I'm sure the hard parts broke because of the strain the delayed shifting put on it. Wanted to make sure I posted the fix. Seems like a lot of people don't and you never figure out what people had wrong.

What is the reason you can't mix mercron v with Mercron lv. Just wondering the differences in transmissions that I belief are the same from 2008 to 2009 but the 2009 takes mercron Lv. Why can't mine use mercron lv

Yeah. The outer part is actually broke so it probably is my cause seeing this would affect shift to 4th. There is stuff spinning when diode should have it stopped from that direction. Hopefully it all works out. I should have taken a picture but forgot

Found a bad diode in the transmission. It's a one way deal so one part can spin a way it shouldn't. Other then the clutches that were a part of this the trans is in excellent condition. Hopefully this is my only problems. I didn't have time to get pictures but I'll try tomorrow

I can't pay people for what I can do. Plus my uncle has a full auto shop that helps. I will get some pictures. I may just replace whole ptu they aren't cheap but peace of mind. I'll try getting some pics tonight. Trans should be coming apart tomorrow

Thanks. I also see how good of an idea it is to change ptu fluid regularly. I just changed mine a couple times but could not get it clean. Actually had gunk on suction tube I used to drain. Fluid really breaks down these things must overheat. So since I had it off I decided to pull apart to give it a good cleaning. I caught it just in time. I have to replace a couple bearings and it is not perfect but is ok. It made no noises before and was smooth but very close to complete failure. I should get a while out of it now. Only 82000 miles. I know there is many other posts about this that I haven't read. There is not much fluid in them. I will now change mine yearly at a minimum. Hopefully all goes well my uncle is helping me who knows what he's doing. I'll post what I find in trans

It's on the trans bench now ready to come apart. I believe $800 with new torque converter rebuild kit and the parts that supposedly caused this mess. Fluid coming out was extremely clean no burnt smell. I may not have to rebuild just fix what went wrong. Only 82000 on it. But it isn't the easiest thing to pull so maybe I'll just do it all. Just depend how good of shape it is. Took me 5 hours to pull trans I imagine guys that do it all the time and know what to do can really do it fast. This was my first time. Going back in will be a lot better. I will post what we find so it might benefit others maybe some pictures. Anybody who has been in one any words of advice would be great

I guess very knowledgable all he does is trans. He said a seal starts to leak by shaft somewhere then it overheats the clutch packs for 2-4. There is a wave plate that then loses its spring and that's the cause. I guess it takes a while for final problem to appear. Once we told him the issues he immediately said this was the problem and had parts to fix it. I dunno hope hes right a lot of work for nothing otherwise. When it shift 3rd to forth it goes into like a false nuetral for a second or 2 then catches good no slip. Just wanna be done with it honestly

Thanks I bought a pdf version for $10. Just to make it easy to pull trans. Book for trans will come with parts. Got bad luck. When my uncle told trans specialist the symptoms he knew what was wrong right away and they have parts in stock. Hope this fixes all Thanks for all the help so far if anyone has any other ideas I'd appreciate it

Does somebody have a repair manual off that could send me

Found some more info from transmission specialist. Sounds like may be 2/4 clutch and shaft. Must be common. I'll keep posted

Ok will do these maintenance issues to prevent these problems. One sounds a little different. I have no lack of power. That part is good for now. Just the trans not actually picking up the next gear right away after it drops 3rd

Sorry 23-24 sorry typed wrong. 34 would be great but a dream. What were you symptoms that your engine problems caused specifically. I'm not saying it can be just wierd cause trans is actually going into like a false neutral momentarily. I'm not going to say it can't be anything, I'll check all the other stuff. What do I need for pcv valve. I had already pulled the neg lead on battery with no affects

I had it hooked to a modis scanner. It is starting to misfire on #1 cylinder but very slightly still run smooth and pulls 34 mpg the misfire is so slight it shouldn't be an issue to transmission.How would these issues make the trans seem like it goes into neutral briefly before picking up 4th. Just wondering in the tss or oss could cause this or if engine issue actually could. It's not like the engine cuts out it actually revs just like you push in the clutch Then 4th hits. No slipping
