Q: My Transmission Control Module was replaced, but my issues remain. Shuttering, jerking, no acceleration when I push the gas, etc.
My Transmission Control Module was replaced, but my issues remain. Shuttering, jerking, no acceleration when I push the gas, etc. I'm being told by Ford it's my actuators and not my clutch. I'm skeptical of this diagnosis. I feel as if they don't want to use the labor to break down the transmission to check the clutch. My clutch is under warranty, my actuators are not. Is it realistic that a faulty actuator can cause the issues I described above?
