My 2014 cmax non energi has been having the dreaded rubbing/grinding/thumping noise from the transmission for several thousand miles now(maybe 8k). This whole time I assumed it was a wheel bearing going out and finally had it checked out to verify. With it being over the factory warranty mileage at 113k I am looking at all my options on how to repair this issue. I was looking at used hf35s on LKQ and it turns out I can get a later model from say a 2016 with less miles for up to $500 cheaper than I can an early model year from a 13 or 14.
My question is if the problem is bad enough that I now have to replace the transmission, can I put a later year hf35 without pissing off the cars computer system or having to make serious modifications?
putting a later year hf35 in a 2014??
