1991 Ford Probe Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Transmission went completely out at 80 thousand miles. When I went to have it repaired the repair shop I took it to said this certain car was know for this defect and that mazda motor co. , who made the power train for this vehicle, was very aware of the problem. The problem was caused be a rod in the tranmission not being tight and cause excessive wear.”

“Has anyone else had problems with the transmissions in their Ford probes. This one has blown apart twice, leaving large holes in the casing. Why isn't Ford standing behind their product? Both times the entire transmission had to be replaced.”

“Purchase car used at 59,000 miles transmission needs to be replaced. Tt transmission was experiencing hard shifting, consumer had taken vehicle to dealer several times to inspect transmisison, however dealer always said that there were no problems, dealer stated later after warranty had expired that a new torque converter, pump, and other various transmission parts were needed. Speedometer cable failed, repair of the cable lessened the shifting problems, however transmission still did not feel correct.”

“Three bolts came out of transmission, there was vibration and then stalling while coming to a complete stop. Please identify the area of trsnsmission.”
