    TRANSMISSION BURNED UP TWICE BECAUSE OF URETHANE GROMMET CRACKED AND FELL OFF. FIRST TIME HAD TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT A COST OF 1200.00 DOLLARS AND WITHIN 14 MONTHS THE SAME THING HAPPEN. PUT A USED TRANS. IN. RUNNING FOR 4 MONTHS AND WATCHING THE CABLE. TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP STATED HE HAS MADE A LOT MONEY BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I THINK FORD SHOULD COMPENSATE SOME FOR THIS FAULTY DESIGN. P.S. PUT NEW GROMMETS IN BOTH TIMES.
