I have a ford F-150 1999 2x4 4.2. Last week I had a light check engine in my dash. The transmission had troubles going from second to third gear.After puting the computer on it, it said to change the selinoid that changes the gears in the transmission. So I did with a new filter and new oil. Fired it up and it went very well.Once the trans. oil got hot it started slipping in almost every gear.Its worst than it was before. So i'm thinking that it could be something eles thats wrong and it makes the selinoid go nuts. But what? Thanks

hi, i have a 96 f150 4x4 with a 4r70w trans. it is having a hard time shifting into gear. it likes it run about 3k - 4k rpm before it will shift. while cruising down the road around 65 mph it loves to down shift which kicks the rpms up to a steady 3300. i let go of the accelerator and cruise to around 60 it will shift up but as soon as i hoover around 65 it will down shift down and then up shift and just pretty much just shift eraticlly. any ideas.

My 1989 F350 is starting in drive instead of first.
Does anyone know why or how I can fix it?
Thank you

When first started and put in drive, if you put it to the floor it barely goes, you have to let up a little and after it shifts then you can put it to the floor and it takes off. After it gets hot it takes off a little better but it doesnt seem right , it feels sluggish. Also the tow switch does not work. This maybe a fuel related item. I need all the help I can get.

Ford Stock tranny's are not very good at all, even if you change the oil every 20K they still don't last. The Wire inside the Steering Colum that goes from the Switch to the Button on your shifter is more than likely broke, bad news is that you have to replace the whole shifter and they run anywhere from 120.00 to 190.00 depending on the Dealer pricing.

Ok, but is this causing the truck to take off slow like that.
