[QUOTE="FordFanStan, post: 6260221, member: 24501"] The "Carquest" brand fluid shouldn't be causing the issue [I]as long as it is the right type[/I] of fluid filled with. That particular brand might not be the best, but it shouldn't cause those issues soley because of brand. If the wrong type of fluid was used, no matter the brand, yes that could cause those issues [I]at the least[/I]; next it will destroy your entire transmission because the fluid does not have the right properties as the correct fluid and you can burn your clutches, pump, bands steels etc. Do you know what type of fluid was used, if not can you find out? Do you have a CE or OD light on? Have you checked for codes? Yes then what are the codes, that will help diagnose. You mentioned that you installed a FTVB and it has never shifted as firm as it should. Has it been something that has been progressively getting worse? It could be numerous things. If no codes, and the right type of fluid was used, and it is new and fresh along with the filter, I would say it is the accumulator valve body itself... Stan [/QUOTE]
