You might go by the Ford dealer and see if they will help you out as a “goodwill” gesture, since this transmission issue is apparently a known problem. All they can say is no.

Good luck.

Even if the dealer offers nothing, you may get some help from Ford as goodwill gesture. Contact them via the method described in your owners manual.
