These photos show damaged rubber seals caused by "leak fix" or "stop leak" products.
6R series transmissions are used in many Ford models from 2007-2020 including Transit vans, Expeditions, Explorers, F150, F250 trucks. This transmission had a leak that was not repaired properly. Instead, "leak fix" was added to the fluid which destroyed all of the rubber in the transmission. A leak that could have been properly fixed for a few hundred dollars turned into a transmission rebuild that cost several thousand dollars.
If your transmission is leaking, don’t try to band-aid the problem with "stop leak" products. Have the leak properly diagnosed and repaired before a small problem becomes a major repair.
A proper repair now can save you thousands later.
