Hello All,
I have a 2015 ford fusion and got stranded a couple weeks ago. Once I got the car to my mechanic, he pulled a PO-733-00 code which indicated direct clutches burnt up or a piston or drum problem. My car has 188,000 miles on it and blue books for $5,500. My mechanic stated the new trans would cost me $6,200.
I opted to not replace the trans and had the car towed back to my home. Yesterday on a lark I went out and started the car and drove it. It drove/shifted fine but there was a loud whining noise coming from the front of the car. I only drove about 1/4 of a mile and went back home.
My question is: was the problem/code misdiagnosed? Is there a simple fix other than a $6k trans replacement?
