A bit of a late update but my Bronco was returned to me on Jan 22. Took exactly 6 weeks for drop off to pick up. The transmission was entirely replaced. It’s only been a week but truck seems good. Frigid cold here in Chicago and no grinding sound. Especially quiet once the car is fully warmed...

I received a more definitive update today after a bunch of back and forth about waiting on parts, tools, getting it in, and needing more parts. According to the service consultant, they found actual scoring and damage inside the unit so they have reached out to Ford again to opt for a total...
