P07FD closes the series 'Incorrect Shift from Gear N' (P07DC–P07E3 for gears 1–8, P07FA for 9): when leaving 10th gear, the transmission ends up in a gear other than the commanded target, or the shift out of 10th goes wrong. No manufacturer document available to us uses it. Ten-speed users such as Ford's 10R family and GM's 10L report such faults through ratio or valve codes; Ford's Diesel summary checks shift completion without a gear-specific code. Possible causes are a sticking shift or clutch valve, a worn or leaking clutch, or wrong adaptives.

Likely causes

Shift or clutch valve sticking
Worn clutch or hydraulic leak on the clutches involved
Shift adaptives wrong
Fluid level or condition

Symptoms

  • Wrong gear or harsh downshift out of 10th
  • Transmission warning, possibly limp mode
