Ebay constantly has them. Set a watch and wait for a good price. I've bought the Motorcraft part that way for less than $10.

The OP has an Ecoboost, the previous post with the updated CSP is from an Ecoboost owner, and I don't see any reference on the CSP to hybrid. 🤷‍♀️

Good to know! I have a '24 from before the new part was introduced. Thanks.

I think it's happened to me twice since owning my '24. Luckily for them, they only briefly flashed once. I usually don't flash back and give 'em the full beans unless they do it more than once. I figure that's the safer option--if they're driving directly toward me in the other lane, the last...

The characters on the side of the flatbed are illegible, the wheels have a "warped" look to them, etc. It looks like maybe a filter was applied somewhere along the way.

There's definitely something funky with it...

:( I've seen it many times, unfortunately. I'm an "EDC" kinda guy of several decades, and I try to be very careful about this. So far thankfully I've only had some near misses. I'm sorry to see it, and I hope the touch-up works well! 🤞

I agree that it's possible, however, I can't personally think of a single good reason to have a manual over an eCVT.

Dreaming of floating season 2027...

That is likely part of it, and setting a 150K fluid maintenance interval combined with engine bay heat from the turbo is likely another, and the inability to change the internal filter. The Ecoboost Maverick produces more torque than the 8F35 is rated for, and likewise is tuned to keep torque...

That is a notable distinction--based your 10 years observation from the 1980's--because today's transmissions aren't the same as they were 40 years ago. That's especially true of automatics, which overall have shown a downturn in reliability as their complexity has increased in recent years...

I wonder how many miles you would have had on an automatic in that truck before it needed to be rebuilt due to clutch/band wear? The solenoid packs might have been replaced by then too, not to mention the more frequent maintenance needed to change fluids and replace the filter/screen.

Maybe. Probably not since it's high beams causing them to flash. At least, as the OP describes it.

I'd bet you're right, considering nearly every make of vehicle has sold better in the US with an automatic transmission over the last 30 years--especially trucks. Why would the Bronco be different? The 2.3L Bronco and the V8 Mustang are both sold currently with manual transmissions...

The "common sense" remark was not meant to be deragatory. When I said, "I suppose it's not obvious to everyone" I was not being facetious. I actually meant that, and the information you'd been giving was worth talking about. My apologies if it came across as threatening. I'm not sure what...

I would like to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer without you thinking I'm "trolling", or "singling you out". If not, please ignore me and don't reply: Are you against someone replying to a comment that you make to the OP, like the thread is multiple conversations between the...

Maybe he is trolling, but since most of your comments have addressed that subject and the OP didn't at all, you seemed the correct one to submit it to.

Understood. I figured it was common sense why manual transmissions are no longer offered on most vehicles but I suppose it's not obvious to everyone.

I can't imagine it ever has been. As someone who never is in stop and go traffic for an hour, I wouldn't consider that fun even with an automatic. There are people who don't find driving of any kind fun, but I'm not one of those people.

Yes, late model manual transmission clutches in general have been much more durable than they were decades ago.
