2005 Mercury Mariner. Vehicle running just fine, except starting sluggish. Needed new battery. I changed it. Right away it began to shift rough on 3 shift (automatic). Read manual and it stated to give time for computer to reset to drive conditions. After 3 weeks I set up appointment with dealership. They charged $119. 00, and stated that they updated the computer, but it still did same thing. They informed me they called Ford, and was told to replace the transmission for $3500. The technician did not seem convinced of that, and said fluid was fine and did not smell burnt. Said to drive longer. I have written to Ford to no avail. They also stated the reason it did not do it with the old battery was due to the computer covering the rough shift. I talked to a transmission expert. He just could not see that being possible.
