In Ford Transit vehicles, drivers have reported hearing grinding noises and experiencing stalling issues when accelerating from a standstill, often due to problems with the automatic gearbox. These issues are typically resolved by replacing the clutch master cylinder, which controls the shifting by engaging and disengaging the clutch from the engine. The Transit's shifting system is actually a semi-automatic manual box operated by the CSC. A defective master cylinder may result in air leaks into the gearbox, leading to symptoms such as a spongy clutch pedal, difficulty shifting, and noisy transmission. The cost of replacing the master cylinder in the Transit typically falls between $300 to $350 for parts and labor. The factory-installed CSC in the Transit had been problematic but has since been updated to address these issues.

    The box won't shift through all gears automatically when in drive mode, but if I switch to manual mode, it will shift smoothly with high revs.
