Just found a possible cure for the 2020 Ford Transit Connect 2.0L I4 Cargo. The van started life with a set of 16'' 215/55/R16 tires and the van shuddered all the time. Later we upgraded to a set of 17'' wheels & 215/50/R17 tires, but still encountered the same shuddering issue. As of the 18th, we upgraded to a set of 19'' wheels with 245/40/R19 tires and for the last week, we've encountered ZERO shuddering of the transmission. Possible cure is that because perhaps the transmission is geared more towards larger wheels and tires. The testing continues...

Since purchasing our 2020 Transit Connect, the transmission has increasingly been getting worse. After taking the van to a local ford dealership, we were told not to worry about this issue and return in 100,000 miles for the routine maintenance at that time. I've known that the Transit Connect has had issue with their transmission in the past and seeing how our local Ford dealership is not willing to handle or correct this issue, I'm going to have the translation survived with the use the BG Products & their Life time warranty/guaranty at another dealership 3 hours drive away. If your Connect is suffering with transmission hesitation or shuttering, have your transmission services with the BG products. However you will have to locate a Ford dealership who offers the BG Products as not all service centers have the tools necessary to handle the Connects "sealed" transmission.
