Non-Ferrari tech help please-shop wants to replace Auto tranny

First off, those that have talked to me here know I have no problem tearing into my Ferrari and have carried out 95% of the repairs and maintenance since I owned the car. That being said, I have never owned an automatic transmission car before this one, so when it took a crap, I was completely clueless.

The tranny stopped engaging about 80 miles from the house (this is my work car), so I got it towed back home to the tune of $217. I tried a couple more times and it would not engagne, or slam into gear with a high pitched grinding/buzzing noise. It was towed to a shop a few miles from the house, who now tells me they want to replace the transmission. This is a 2015 Ford Fusion with 108k (all highway with a handful of Atlanta traffic). The service manual does not call for a fluid change until 150k. 2 Ford dealerships have told me that they have never heard of a tranny going on on a 2nd Gen Fusion.

Here why I am skeptical-The car operates ok when cold, but when hot, even in Park or Neutral, the high pitched grinding/buzzing noise returns, usually with a bit of a "jolt" to the motor, when the rpms drop slightly, and it does go up with the rpm's. The noise does come from an area where the tranny and engine meet, but I couldn't pin point it. There has also been a recent recall of the shifter bushing by Ford. Vid below

 

Oh, btw-No DTC's

 

That's another story altogether....I just went by the shop to get some stuff out of the car and I will bet any amount of money the car has not been touched. It was in the exact same place that it was yesterday when it was towed there. I only talked to the secretary that was yelling in between me and the mechanic. This is why I'm trying to figure out something else, I think the shop is full of ****.

 

Thanks all, after 4 days of nothing I had the car trailered back home. Neighbor has a lift and I found a 6k mile tranny..after buying so many Ferrari parts it was a shock to the system to find a low mile transmission for $600. Hopefully have the car done soon, been driving my Crossfire, want to get back in the world of a 4 cylinder an 87 octane for "unfun" transportation..
