[SUVord]

The CD4E tranny in the escapes are the same ones that were in the old ford countor/mondeo/escort in the early 90's and havent changed very much since then, although ford did say they "beefed" up the tranny for SUVs but that is no excuse for not maintaining them correctly. Knowing its past history, these trannies have a high failure rate if the fluid hasnt been changed regularly. every 30k is good for a fluid change.

+1000 and the CD4E will outlast many of its owners!
