My Wife ant I just rotated cars, so I just started daily driving the '09 that we have had for 4 years. After 2 weeks of me driving it, it popped out of 5th gear on the highway, and now will not stay in 5th anymore. If I put it in 5th while loading the engine, it holds the gear, but the second I let off the throttle to coast, it chirps and kick the stick into neutral. I tried holding it in gear, and it makes a terrible squealing sound... so I'm only using 4 gears now.
It has Koni Yellows up front, and the Trans fluid was replaced with Ford MC Full Synth 11 months ago. Since the issue only started yesterday, I have not yet checked the fluid level. I have spent all yesterday searching here and elsewhere, only to find that it might be one of 2 things: low trans fluid, or a bad 5th gear.
Anyone have any other ideas of what it could be?
If I need a new trans, what fits from other models (as a MT 5 is rare in my area)
Thanks
