2004 ford f250 6.0 diesel. Started shuddering a bit while going from park, drive to reverse. I found transmission fluid on my garage floor, took the truck to the dealer for repair. 4000 dollars to fix a hole in the transmission caused by identical circumstances involving ford recall 05b27. The mechanic pulled the "oasis" report and found no recall for my vehicle based on the "VIN". I have contacted ford with no satisfaction. I was advised to pay for the repair and maybe there will be a recall at a future date, at which point I would be reimbursed. Again, this defect is exactly the same as described in recall 05b27. There is no difference in what happened to my vehicle and what ford tried to stem with the recall. It is an admitted engineering defect which should give cause for an expanded recall.

While driving on a 2 lane country road, I went to shift (change gears) my truck, and the clutch pedal fell off. I was able to get it into neutral, and coasted to a stop on the shoulder of the road. Upon investigating the cause, I found the pivot pin that the clutch pedal rotates on was missing the retainer and bushing from the right side of the pin, so the pin had moved to the left until the pedal became unattached. After removing the fuse panel from the dash board, and using a hammer handle to reach in and leverage the pedal pin back in place, I was able to drive home. I am an automotive supplier engineer, and do most of my own mechanical repairs on my own vehicles. I have not yet tried to purchase the replacement parts from a ford dealer, but the auto parts store does not have them. My truck is a 2004 ford f250 super duty 4x4, 4 dr, diesel.
