This is a common failure item on Fords. Does anyone know if that solenoid is a Ford only part? The part number from Ford is 6L3Z-9H465-A.
As I said earlier, if it is struggling to engage/disengage, new fluid MAY help! We've had zero issues with ours, which has 230,000Km on it, but I put in M1 ATF right after we bought it.
