Disadvantages of the Ford 5F27 gearbox
- The transmission is considered unreliable and is sensitive to aggressive acceleration, such as full-throttle acceleration;
- The soft metal of the rear cover can cause the shaft to warp and damage the bearings;
- The second typical failure is uneven wear of the brake band;
- This causes vibrations, wears out the reverse drum, and causes loss of reverse;
- The adaptive VFS solenoids have a limited lifespan and quickly become dirty.
