P2704 on Lincoln
Transmission Friction Element D Apply Time Range/Performance
P2704 on Lincoln vehicles indicates transmission friction element d apply time range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Lincoln model — most commonly on Aviator. This transmission code means the time it took to apply friction element 'D' (a clutch or band inside the automatic transmission) was outside the acceptable range or performed poorly. The transmission computer times how quickly each internal clutch/band engages during shifts; an apply time that's too long or inconsistent indicates worn friction material, low pressure, or hydraulic control problems. You may feel slipping, delayed or harsh shifts, or flaring (engine revving up between gears). It generally points to internal wear or a fluid/hydraulic issue developing in the transmission.
Common Causes of P2704
- •Worn friction element (clutch/band) D
- •Low or degraded/contaminated transmission fluid
- •Faulty shift solenoid or pressure control solenoid
- •Valve body wear or stuck valve
- •Internal hydraulic pressure leak
- •Clogged transmission filter or passages
- •Faulty transmission control module (TCM)
P2704 on Lincoln by Model
Lincoln Aviator(1 issue)
- 10R60/10R80 MHT Harsh or Delayed Engagement and Shifts (TSB 22-2428)2020-2023
Some 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviators equipped with a 10R60 and built on or before December 23, 2022, or a 10R80 MHT and built on or before August 15, 2022, may have harsh or delayed engagement and/or harsh or delayed shifts. Ford TSB 22-2428 says the condition may involve PCM/TCM software, the transmission solenoid-ID strategy, sticking main-control valves, or axial movement of the CDF clutch-cylinder sleeve. The complaint may occur with or without a malfunction indicator and the bulletin's listed transmission DTCs. The symptom alone does not select a valve body, CDF cylinder, or complete transmission.

What does P2704 mean on Lincoln?▼
P2704 stands for "Transmission Friction Element D Apply Time Range/Performance." This transmission code means the time it took to apply friction element 'D' (a clutch or band inside the automatic transmission) was outside the acceptable range or performed poorly. The transmission computer times how quickly each internal clutch/band engages during shifts; an apply time that's too long or inconsistent indicates worn friction material, low pressure, or hydraulic control problems. You may feel slipping, delayed or harsh shifts, or flaring (engine revving up between gears). It generally points to internal wear or a fluid/hydraulic issue developing in the transmission. On Lincoln specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P2704 on Lincoln vehicles?▼
Common causes on Lincoln: Worn friction element (clutch/band) D, Low or degraded/contaminated transmission fluid, Faulty shift solenoid or pressure control solenoid, Valve body wear or stuck valve, Internal hydraulic pressure leak. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P2704 on a Lincoln?▼
