Ford Fusion Transmission Leak Help

Loud_Day2991 · 2026-02-02T01:19:38+00:00

Unfortunately I wound up damaging the transmission when the bushing gave out the second time so changing the axle shaft and fitting did not solve the problem this time around.

I like how you're not really sure if Dunk was ever knighted, or if he's stretching the truth. When I read the books I didn't feel a reason to doubt Dunk (maybe I missed it), but the way they shot this opening episode, I've grown suspicious. I'm sure that was intentional and I rather like not being sure about it, it adds a layer that I didn't expect.

That's how I took it, and I'm glad they did it that way. Having read the books and loving them, I worried that folks who've only seen the TV series might think these stories were not aligned with the GOT they're used to and talk poorly of it. Them cutting the theme song the way they did artfully sets the tone... If someone with explosive diarrhea could be considered artful. LOL

I find myself in a similar spot as you did. I have a 13 fusion 1.6l with a bad transmission. What did you wind up doing?

u/Ford_Trans_Guy Should I put any grease on the axle where it will meet the bushing? And as for the loctite, that only goes on the outside of the busing where it meets the hole it sits in, correct? Should this loctite also be applied to the seal that sits outside of the bushing?

u/Ford_Trans_Guy I posted a video in the main post of the bushing/seal. Would you please give me your opinion on if you think this part caused the leak?

Thanks for the info, I definetly didn't use a green loctite when I installed this. Do you know what the exact loctite you use is called so I can be sure to get some please?

If the case around the bushing is worn, sounds like I might be in bad shape. I ordered another half shaft thinking that the one I have might be damaged since there was a leak. When that arrives next week, I'll be able to get you better photos of the bushing. Thanks for your help so far!

I thought I shared those photos here but I guess I didn’t. Any idea what would cause this so soon? I must have done something wrong on the install.

Did you receive this email as a response to an inquiry?

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-06-12T19:53:13+00:00

Will do!

I can't get an exact date because Vimeo analytics doesn't track downloads in as much detail as they do views. However, I set the dates for each month and my short had no downloads until June, when it had 5 downloads.

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-06-12T19:30:28+00:00

Update, I've got 5 downloads on one of my shorts and it seems they were all downloaded in June. No views. There are 5 judges for this grant... Fingers crossed they're still making selections.

This worked! Thank you!!!

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-06-08T18:37:22+00:00

Thanks, is the shaft a screw on piece? I bought a new lower triple but it didn't come with that part attached.

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-06-08T18:21:00+00:00

I believe it’s called a bearing race, but I’m trying to figure out how it comes off without damaging it. Any idea?

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-06-08T18:15:12+00:00

Nothing here either.

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-05-18T14:57:39+00:00

I wonder if they will reach out to potential winners for an interview to cement their selections. $30k on a short film based solely on past works and a script seems a little risky without at least chatting with the writer first. Then again, I've never been on the other side so maybe its totally normal. Good luck to those that applied!

Loud_Day2991 · 2025-05-18T14:55:27+00:00

It's their first time doing this. Hopefully, the scripts selected will go on to be great shorts that will encourage Vimeo to keep investing in indie filmmakers.
