“We purchased our f550 from fact. On 2/7/99, in dec 1999 the 4 speed auto transmission went out with 9470 miles on the vehicle. Three weeks before replacing with a remanufactured transmission, we were told that the remanufactured are better as they are completly gone through; apparently the new ones are not. Also had to repair a major oil leak by replacing several hoses, o rings and the right cylinder head high pressure oil line and fitting. May 4 of 2000 repair to the switches in the door latch along with misc inside elec repairs. …”

The master cylinder and slave cylinder had excess were on the pressure plate fingers. The transmission was hard to shift into reverse and low gear. The hard clutch made noise.
