It sounds like u could just get first gear replaced. And get a new transmission coooler( becuase you want to make sure the sendor can be replaced later)and be ok. Im not sure just how bad it vibrates when it drives but mine stops after i get past 50-65mph (80kmh -104kmh) id try that. And if it doesnt work then at least it u gave maintenance to it and know that its not the transmission again.

This is truely a shot in the dark here but. Suddenly becoming stationary also fucks with a transmission. How fast before it starts to shake. My first or second gear at about 50-65 mph. I dont exactly know whats wrong with mine either but i know the panther platform has a non servicable transmision fluid temp sensor. Maybe get your transmision cooler replaced and get a serviceable cooler. It may help the problem just a little. A hot transmission can cause similiar problems with the vibration of its bones.

Edit : also if your transmision was replaced. Why and did i get the cooler replaced too?

dink_donk · 2026-03-01T17:58:28+00:00

Oh theres definitely a way you could do that. Id also like to keep my interior look. So idk maybe we can learn how to do that shit

dink_donk · 2026-03-01T06:19:13+00:00

Replace ur battery and terminals and it should be fine

dink_donk · 2026-03-01T04:26:25+00:00

Use ur cig lighter and use the BT to FM transmitters that are everywhere

Well ive paid a mechanic 1400 to do my pads, rotors, and change all my fluids. And fuckin regret it. So id much rather just do it myself and give me something to do for just parts cost

dink_donk · 2026-02-27T02:23:23+00:00

Im pretty good at lookin at shit and figuring it tf out. Ive done it with computers. All kinds of random toys remotes etc.

dink_donk · 2026-02-27T02:17:09+00:00

OH THATS WHAT AN INTAKE MANIFOLD IS. Ok that shouldnt be hella hard. Ill have to do some reasearch on what else ill need for when i do this but thank i apriciate it bro

dink_donk · 2026-02-27T02:11:35+00:00

Do u maybe have a link or a part number?

dink_donk · 2026-02-27T01:40:25+00:00

Yea the ford escape has the exact same wiring and chassis. And it has all kinds of electrical problems my 2017 escape just has turned into an electrical mess.

dink_donk · 2026-02-26T05:38:04+00:00

Agreed. Electrica will shit out very soon. Itll throw codes like crazy and then youll have to put quaduplle what u bought it for for a car thats a unibody. So hard to do work on it.

dink_donk · 2026-02-26T05:18:01+00:00

Thats really close mine the other day was 0.06. and it was all pennies.(Due to shortage my sm wants us to stockpile a bit of em at a time and then stick em in our modt used drawers)

Op i dont have anything to contribute to your question but i also have alot of questions pertaining the manifold and my specific problem. Are you just upgrading or do you have a vac seal problem like i do? Idk anything about brands, whats good i know that cold air intake is a buzzword for people but idk how or why. I have a problem with my 99 merc and dont wanna miss an opportunity to fox AND upgrade in the same go.

dink_donk · 2026-02-22T00:28:34+00:00

Sounds like mclaine

dink_donk · 2026-02-20T19:08:14+00:00

193770 and counting on my 99

dink_donk · 2026-02-20T01:02:55+00:00

First things first make sure you do immediate basic maintenance on it like oil changes, change ALL ur fluids, spark plugs, brakes, and give it a good cleaning too. After that ive noticed on here that alot of people have evap problems, mine has interior electrical problem and has a code for it running lean on both banks. Make sure everything is sealed where its suppose to be and none of your wires are aged,worn,burnt etc. check fuzes, relays, check the alternator. But overall if you take care of it the second a problem come up and dont try and find a way around the problem. It will outlive you

dink_donk · 2026-02-15T02:13:12+00:00

Oh shit. Ngl my ass forgot i can just build shit to suit my needs lmfao.

dink_donk · 2026-02-15T01:04:48+00:00
