Hey all,
2021 ST owner here with a transmission issue and looking for some real-world experience from the community.
The 2-3 shift is rough, but 3-4 is violent, teeth-rattling on almost every upshift. Downshifts are fine except for 3rd to 2nd, those jolt you forward. Brought it to my mechanic and after diagnosis, my extended warranty approved a full transmission replacement.
Here's where it gets interesting, when they went to order the replacement through Ford, it came back on backorder for three months. My mechanic has a transmission shop they've worked with for decades who can do a complete 10R60 rebuild with all the latest revised parts in one to one and a half weeks. The only original component retained would be the outer case.
The rebuild warranty is 18 months/20,000 miles versus Ford's replacement unit at 12 months/12,000 miles, so the rebuild actually carries better coverage.
My question for anyone who has gone through a 10R60 rebuild: did it resolve your issues long-term, or did problems resurface? Would you go the rebuild route again, or wait out the three months for the Ford unit? I know it also depends on the shop doing the rebuild. All the reviews I have found with the shop are very positive, and I spoke with them directly and they have rebuilt a lot of 10r60 and 10r80 transmissions.
Appreciate any feedback and firsthand experience.

They are gutting the whole transmission and all parts are going to be brand new. Torque converter as well they said. I purchased the trans mount insert. Going to have them put that in as well when they put the trans back in
