POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE SLAVE CYLINDER HAS BROKE TWICE NOW, AND I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 1993 F150 AND IT DOES THE SAME THING WHEN EVER THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 0 DEGREES F. THIS USUALLY OCCURS ON THE INITIAL START OF THE DAY. AFTER THE CYLINDER BREAKS, THE CLUTCH MAKES A WHINE WHEN DEPRESSED. THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE ABILITY TO SHIFT. THE CRACK IN THE SHEET METAL ON THE DRIVERS DOOR IS APPROXIMATELY 1" IN LENGTH AND THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR EVEN BUMPED SINCE I HAVE HAD IT SINCE NEW.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN COLD WEATHER, A 2-3 SLIP DETECT OCCURS ON MODERATE HILLS AT LOW ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE TRUCK WAS INSPECTED BY DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION SENSORS, AND THE SLIP DETECT CODE WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. PROBLEM IS RE-OCCURING AS THE WEATHER WARMS UP, BUT SLIP DETECT CODE NOT BEING STORED IN COMPUTER. I'VE REFERENCED TSB 99-9-6 (NHTSA ITEM SB606428) TO DEALER, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TSB IS IRRELAVENT AND THE TRANSMISSION PAN WILL HAVE TO BE DROPPED TO INSPECT THE INTERNAL SENSORS AT A COST OF $1,200. PLEASE (IF POSSIBLE) SEND ME THE FULL TEXT OF TSB 99-9-6 AND/OR NHTSA ITEM SB606428 SO THAT I MAY USE IT AS BACK-UP UPON MY NEXT VISIT TO THE DEALER. I WILL ALSO LET THEM KNOW THAT I'VE FILED AN ISSUE REPORT HERE AT THE ODI. REGARDS, ERIC SLAN
