I really am beginning to hate this car.

Look at the positive side, the longer you drive your car with the bearing noise, at Ford's request, the better the chance that your transmission will get replaced instead of serviced. It's not like the damage from the bad input shaft bearing will suddenly stop or get to a certain point and level off. That metal bearing will continue eating itself and circulate the contaminated oil with metal particles all throughout the transmission, essentially destroying most of the transmission in the process.

Exactly my dad said he thinks thats what they are doing. The Transmission guy said he really hates tearing apart those transmissions. I have a 100k mile warranty so im just buying my time.
