Hey guys, I have a 2009 Ford Escape Xlt with a duratec v6 3.0 with 176k miles on it and the transmission died. There are a few options I was quoted for possible replacement. These prices include a 1 year parts and labor warranty 92k miles, $1,385+$1,100 labor+ tax and fluid Or 126k miles, $1,100…

The car is 12 years old. I wouldn’t put that kind of money into it.

If your maintenance history is good I would consider it. I would have the car checked to see if everything is solid to help make my decision.

This is really a no-brainer. Go with the 92,000 mile transmission, or buy a different vehicle. It simply does not make sense to pay 88% of the cost of the proposed repair with a low-mileage transmission to receive a transmission with 37% more miles. Put differently, the cost delta of $285 or 12% …

I wanted to know if anyone had experience with the durat…

With the vehicle market right now I think I will go with the repair, and yea I said the same thing to my dad about the 92 vs 126. What about the engine though, do you think it will last a while longer if it has been properly maintained. I don’t really know how long these engines are reliable for.

I was told a while ago that it was on its way out and i no longer get forward movement, only reverse.

Changed every ~5k miles or less, not sure on the elapsed time but I’ve changed it probably twice since September of 2020. Never has overheated. Used for mostly around town with an occasional 2-3 hour trips. Tranny died on the way back from Massachusetts going highway speeds. There is a minor oil …

It’s an Escape. I doubt that Ford would put an expensive transmission like a dual clutch in a relatively inexpensive SUV.
