The different gearboxes of Ford Transit
TheFord Transit is generally equipped with a 5-speed mechanical gearbox to save costs for the American brand. However, limited versions are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, including the Transit after 2016. This new range was created to increase driving comfort and meet the needs of a wider public, as many people are adept at using automatic gearboxes.
The flip side of the coin is that parts for Ford Transit automatic transmissions are so rare that it becomes a real obstacle course to find some on the market. But sooner or later, your Gearbox will inevitably give up, depending on how much work you put your Ford through, or how much mileage it gets. It's fortunate that the Transit's gearbox remains quite soft in terms of technology, unlike the DSG or PDK of the German women.

A piece of advice that can save your ass
Dealers often do not mention the need for regular maintenance on your Gearbox. The well-established marketing discourse is that of lifetime oil that doesn't need to be renewed. However, in order to increase the life of your Gearbox, it is essential to think about changing the oil. Indeed, don't forget that it is several metal parts that come into friction, which causes them to wear out over the long term. Also, remember to change the gearbox oil about every 50,000 km to ensure its good viscosity. To know that the oil needs to be changed, unplug the capsule at Gearbox and observe its colour. If it is black, its replacement must be imminent.
In conclusion, the Gearbox on your Ford Transit will eventually need to be replaced.
