All transmission problems point to this Toque converter problem and suggest rebuilding it. To me this is a very serious matter that needs to be brought up because no person should have to pay and change a transmission just because of a bad design from Ford. If the torque converter is bad, it should not cause the entire transmission to be rebuilt. If a converter goes bad due to an internal defect, then you just change the converter. Ford probably just did a crate swap and did it under the warranty.
Most transmissions go bad because of heat.
If not, I strongly recommend one be installed by a professional to survive the heat down in Florida. I have had absolutely no known failures occur with this unit, and I have not had to research the unit because of its reliability, Fluid, filter and service is the only thing I do for my customers at 30k intervals.
