Заговорили про коробку передач, я сразу вспомнил жалобы на необслуживаемую коробку 3-го поколения. Вот как один гражданин описывает инженерно-потребительскую историю коробок экспа:
"91-94 A4LD - A modified Pinto trans which has gained a rep for blowing out at relatively low mileage
95-96 4R55E - An improved, electronically controlled A4LD, not quite as fragile but still has problems
97-01 5R55E - Beefed up a little more, electronic control allows another forward gear from the previous design. As far as I know, they don't puke their guts nearly as quickly, but still not the strongest link in the powertrain.
02+ 5R55W (4doorsonly, Sport-Trac still uses 5R55E) Apparently, Ford is so confident in their track record that they decide to make the tranny non-serviceable. I guess we will know in a few years if they are justified. Personally, I like having a dipstick so I can at least examine the color of the fluid on the stick, if nothing else".
