My transmission does not shift hard when it catches. It goes into the next gears smoothly, but you can hear the engine rpms increase as it shifts from one gear to another. It is worse when the transmission is cold. And by cold I mean room temp because it is in a heated garage. What did your dealer say about the slipping?

I was something about the manufacturing process,, something was not "aligned correctly" when the transmission was being built.

I have a 2008 Edge Limited that has a transmission slip. I have noticed the slip on the 1st to 2nd and the 2nd to 3rd shifts. I took it back to my Ford dealer and we drove another Edge that did exactly the same thing. They don't know what to do. They said if it gets worse they will do something then. Has anyone else experenced this problem and how was it resolved?

I had my transmission replaced. When it slipped, it slammed BAD

It seams to happen on cold mornings.

Vary the speed for 1,000-1,500 miles (Don't set the speed control at 70 and drive 400+ miles when new) to generate a wide wear pattern on gears. This will help eliminate gear whine. Don't change the oil for 3,000 miles or so and don't go wide open throttle for 1,000 miles. You want rings to seat and bearing surfaces to wear in easily. Don't put a full synthetic oil in a new vehicle unless you live in a sub-zero envirinment. It is too slick and can promote glazing cylinder walls.

 

Everyone has an opinion, these are facts.

Why 3000 on the miles grey? I have always changed out the oil on the first 1000 miles and never had any major engine issues. I understand the full synthetic oil issue, but not the 3000 one.
