Trans Problems '05 44B 5speed?

[jakebni]

Planned on buying a 2005 F350 Powerstroke DRW 5 speed with 55,000 mile made before 11/30/04. Before I was going to pick it up the businees selling it stopped me. A "slip-pin" peirced the side if the trans case. Nor under powertrain warrantee. My buddy working for Ford has told me that they have been having some problems with that. Anybody else hear of, or, experienced that? Thanks...

That was going around sometime ago. There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) out on it.

is this the one?






On trucks built prior to 1-12-05, the snap ring on the low/reverse planetary may become dislodged due to the frequent forward/reverse shifting common when plowing snow. If this occurs, damage to the low/reverse planetary or transmission case may occur. Ford will disassemble the transmission, inspect for damage, and replace the snap ring with a revised part, if no other damage is found. This recall has been extended to 9-30-06, regardless of mileage.

Don't think so, this is the Automatic TSB, he's looking for the manual, no?
