Ford GT Transmission Issues

Alright GT fam, I'm pulling my hair out! My 2018 Ford GT, gasoline engine, is throwing some nasty transmission tantrums at 92152 km. The engine light's on, sometimes the transmission warning light joins the party, and the computer's throwing codes like confetti. It goes into emergency mode sometimes! It's slipping gears like crazy, real rough shifts and the occasional grinding noise that makes my teeth clench. I checked for obvious leaks, but didn't find anything. Anyone seen this before?

Summary of the thread

A 2018 Ford GT is experiencing significant transmission issues, including rough shifting, gear slipping, and warning lights. The problem may be related to low transmission fluid levels or a faulty transmission oil temperature sensor. It is recommended to have a professional check the fluid levels and inspect for potential leaks or sensor issues, as these require specific tools and expertise to address properly.

Dude, that SUCKS! I had something similar happen in my GT. Not sure if it's the same year, but the symptoms sound spot on. Mine was shifting like a tractor. Did you check the transmission fluid level? That's the first thing they told me to look at.

Yeah, I meant to mention that. How did you check that, exactly? I couldn't find a dipstick anywhere obvious, and I don't want to start pulling random plugs and making things worse. Was it a pain to get to?

Okay, so yeah, no dipstick, unfortunately! Mine was low from the factory. You gotta get under the car; there's a fill plug on the side of the transmission. Honestly, unless you're super comfortable working on cars, I'd say take it to a shop. It's a pain to get to, and you need a special tool to fill it correctly. Plus, if it IS low, you gotta figure out why... could be a leak somewhere. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks, man, that's exactly what I needed to hear. I was hoping it was something simple, but sounds like a trip to the shop is in order. You saved me a bunch of time and probably some busted knuckles, so I appreciate it. It turns out it was the transmission oil temperature sensor and the low gearbox oil level. They charged me 365€ for the repair.
