Ford Ikon gearbox slipping

My 2004 Ford Ikon (gasoline engine) gearbox is slipping and shifting roughly. I suspect a transfer case oil issue or defective gears. Has anyone seen this, and what did you do?

Hey, I had something similar with my Ikon. Gearbox was acting up, shifting rough. Did you check the transfer fluid? Mine was low and looked pretty nasty. Might be worth a look before you dive into the gears.

What specific symptoms did you have, and what was the gear oil like when you checked? Any unusual noises like grinding?

Yeah, it was grinding a bit, especially going into third. The oil was dark and had metal shavings in it. Honestly, just get it checked by a workshop. Could save you a lot of trouble.

I took it to a workshop based on your advice. They confirmed defective gears in the transfer case. The repair was about 330€ including parts and labor. Thanks!
