JTOP Report post Posted May 10, 2020 Why is the Trans Fluid recommendation on the H35 transmission 150,000 flush and change ? My research indicates this is a major mistake to wait that long - so many failed transmissions out there in the Ford Fusion Hybrid community . Many transmissions replaced at N/C from Ford but others like myself are stuck with a crazy $7,500 repair at 101,000 miles . I made an appointment to have my 100,000 service done at my Ford dealer and literally talked it over with the service manager - he agreed its needs to be changed. On the way to the dealer for service the transmission started a crazy rubbing thumping noise. I had a feeling it was shot knowing the engineering of the H35 system. The dealer confirmed and now I'm stuck with the bill. I'd like to know from Ford who came up with the service recommendation ? They should be fired ! All Ford Fusion Hybrids out there should be inspected and flushed every 50,000 minimum period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ptjones Report post Posted May 11, 2020 My experience with my first trans lasting 98k miles, never changed fluid and second one has 151k miles and haven't changed fluid either and it's working fine. In a few months I hope to have New FEH Plugin and so wouldn't need to change Trans Fluid in CMAX. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
