ATSG CONFIRMED FIX - APRIL 2025
2020 Ford F150 10R80
Complaint: After parking the truck, it will not move after restart
Cause: Broken Park Rod Bell Stem
Correction: Replace the parking rod assembly
Part numbers related to the repair: NA
Year Make and Model of the Vehicle: 2020 Ford F150
Mileage: NA
Shop Name: Bell Transmissions
Transmission: 10R80
Additional Notes: Vehicle was towed in. Tow truck driver said he had to drag it up the bed even after pulling the release lever. Shop pulled the driveshaft and now the truck was able to be pushed into the service bay. This shows that the rear differential was not seized up. They tried turning the transmission output shaft and it would not move. They pulled the pan and saw small metal particles in the pan. When trying to move the linkage the tech said that the parking rod would not move correctly. They removed the linkage and found that the park pawl applied bell stem was broken off, which did not allow the linkage to release the parking pawl. This resulted in the no move condition.
