If it was a scanner that covered the transmission, and no codes were found , then its a mechanical problem. I'm not familiar with those transmissions. Google is your friend.

I Work in a fleet workshop, that does outside work for other fleets too. I guess I've done about about 6 transits, and 3 rangers personally in the last year. our fleet is Vw crafters and transits. I've done a good few crafter gearboxes, where the drive shaft splines have failed in the gear box. It used to be replacing duel mass flywheels kept me busy, but wet belts seem to have taken over now.

If you haven't got one these are very good , and a good price.click here

Connect it up to a good code reader, not a cheap one that only reads emissions codes, see what transpires.

It's a big national company that runs ford fleet. they want them done around the 50-60 thousand mile mark. No visual degradation or particles that i could see. Ford recommend 150,000 miles but they keep changing it, I think it might be down to 100,000 kms now. Its about a 6 to 8 hour job. easy job , just time consuming, lots to take off , and the sealant needed to seal up the sump and front cover, can get messy. Cost wise I don't know, I just get to do the job.

I just happen to be doing a 22 plate one today 😳

Actually 3 , as the 2 door mk2 Cortina is under the cover.

Great , I love that you hate the rotaries, but get to judge them😄 I just added a random photo of 2 of mine that are on the road, as it is sunny out today 😎

I'd like a classic Mazda RX3 rotary. I keep hoping Rally Pack James will send me one over. I haven't seen a UK one for 40 years.

Try Autodoc ( German Business )or Parts in Motion, ( UK Business ) they sell known make parts , and a good price too, Internet based.

That looks like a good price, but I'd be put off by the "restoration and new paint", you don't know how well or badly its been done.

You know I'm partial to a Japanese engine in my old Fords

I saw that, It looks like good value to me
