OKAY, I called the Ford hotline, basically to get Ford to determine the fix for this problem and possibily issue a recall, lots of people need to call and state they too are having this problem. so PLEASE call if you are having this 3rd gear stutter with the new pump and complain.
The hotline number for Ford is: 1-800-392-3673
When you call, have your VIN # with you.
