Hey friends!! Well, it looks like I’m now having this issue and would like some tips.... First off, I drive a ton for work and always have to roll money into my next car so getting rid of the car isn’t a great path for me. I really want to get this car to last. I have a friend who owns a transmission shop and is very good at what he does but he says my car is extremely rare, and he could rebuild it for cheap, but he can’t get the parts to do it. He says basically the bearing is grinding against the casing and eventually it will wear all the way through and cause failure. He said he can get me a new trans from Ford for $3,700 plus install labor. Other thoughts, I could buy a wrecked one for cheap and steal the trans out of that, but the Energi is pretty rare. Is the trans the same as the regular Hybrid? That opens things up quite a bit and might even make the parts easier to find for my friend. I could buy a used trans from www.car-part.com and have it shipped, but there’s a risk that it has the same issue. Does anyone have any advice here? Have these things actually failed over time, or are they just loud? Thank you for any help!!

Did you end up doing these ones? Curious to know how you like them.

Hey Fusion Energi owners!! I just picked up my Fusion Energi and am in the process of doing some upgrades. In my browsing before I bought the car, I found a really nice pair of LED puddle lights for around $70 and now I can't find them. They were really bright and the company had 3 or 4 brightness levels. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
