The third generation Ford Transit was introduced with a new system called the Auto Shift Manual transmission. This was a nice feature which allowed for the switching between Automatic and Manual. The system is great for heavy loads and towing, however it tends to fail over time due to wear and tear.
Over time and higher mileage the pump became prone to failure. With symptoms such as being locked into a gear, being stuck in reverse and even losing all gears and drive.
This problem will start intermittently and may only play up on occasion however as the problem persists the symptoms will get progressively worse which will eventually lead to complete loss of gears or the vehicle being stuck in gear permanently with complete failure of the pump.
Another way to tell if your Ford Transit ASM is malfunctioning is to listen to the shift pump. When opening the driver’s door, the pump should prime and make a buzzing sound. This is the pump building up pressure to the rest of the system. It can also be a problem if the pump continually runs and does not shut off after 30 seconds.
