#284 of 354 f-150 automatic trany by bob3005 Feb 04, 2009 (10:51 am)
I am looking into my brother's 2004 f-150 automatic transmission problem, it won't shift into first or reverse without gassing it. I can get it to move but that seems to be about it. The fluid looks fine, and no noises. This is a pampered F-150 4.2 L 6 cyl with less than 42,000 miles on it He sent it to the shop and they said "bad transmission $ 2900.00 to fix it. I have read several nightmare stories on this forum about this year and all the problems with it's transmission but no real answers! (for me) Questions: Can this one be pronounced junk? Is there a chance that a used trans. would be any better? or are they all junk? Is there an older version that will fit and be more reliable? Are they or anyone else upgrading them when rebuilding them with better parts? I'm asking because there are about 50 of these trans available and it scares me. Thanks for your input. If Ford insists on cranking out these %x&** things, how can they ever expect repeat customers? No wonder they are in deep stuff!!!
#285 of 354 questions about goin thru motor n trans by moondog Feb 20, 2009 (10:35 am)
ive got 165000 miles in my 01 super crew f150. it would lag a second or two on a stop n go when i press the gas. i changed the fluid, put some lucas stop slip, n i put a programmer that firm the shifts. i dont have the lag ne more but it still slips under heavy accel. n kinda sounds like a belt is slipping as its shifting from 3rd to od under heavy accel. after i put the programmer on after long trips the motor smells like oil bad, and on cool nights i can see smoke coming from the vents on the wiper cowl. i was just wondering if i should tear it all apart or get something new
#286 of 354 92 F250 will only go in reverse transmission crisis by roxier Feb 20, 2009 (4:28 pm)
Help, my F250 will only go in reverse. Could this be a sensor or electrical thing, or is it a broken band. it is a 92 and pretty basic electronically. The men in my fam are pretty good with cars but getting them to actually do it is a challenge. I'm really good with vehicles but HATE it but at this point I am desperate just to get this fixed. Any ideas and if it is the band, what is the best way to replace it (ie do I have to yank the whole thing)
#287 of 354 TRANS FAULT by casinada Feb 25, 2009 (10:55 am)
I recently got this message error on my display it reads as TRANS FAULT. Truck works fine, by the way I have a 2004 f150 single cab, shifts smoothly no problems noted as of now. Can anyone tell me if I have to replace the transmission or is this problem can be fixed by your average mechanic? From what I have read in this forum, I am practically screwed and will have to replace tranny. Is there any other quick fix. I have been a Ford guy since junior high never had any problems with any of my stangs until now with this truck.
#290 of 354 Rear Axle Identification by fordman26 Mar 02, 2009 (1:03 pm)
my 2001 F350 Diesel owners manual lists three different rear axle types and gear oil types accordingly but no way of matching the axle ID-tag numbers to the list. The gear oils are of vastly different viscosities, so I think it matters which oil is in the axle. I appreciate any advice on this.

#292 of 354 leeeky trans by fletch9 Mar 11, 2009 (5:17 am)
Hey out there 2000 f250 v-10 runs and shifts perfect but leaking from what I think is the front seal. Only in hot weather or towing tool trailer in Denver metro traffic. whatcha think, Replies to this message: hortonlane (Apr 27, 2009 8:48 am) jjf350007 (Apr 28, 2009 2:23 pm)
#293 of 354 "Dragging" noise like post #196 by warriorcoach Mar 19, 2009 (5:43 am)
Hello -   have a 05 F-150 supercrew automatic trans with 54000 miles. 3 times in the last two days (about 30 miles of city driving) I have had a terrible noise when slowing down to turn or coming to a stop. I thought the first time that the muffler fell off and I was dragging it on the road or like someone else said - ran over a shopping cart and was stuck under the truck.   Pulled over quickly and noise went away when I almost got stopped. Today, I shifted to N and it went away - don't know if this was just a coincidence though, maybe was good timing.   Is it the transmission or could it be the clutch?? Did not hear any clunking noises but I don't think I had power - believe I tried to accelerate today after it happened and could not. Have seen the same problem posted a couple times in this forum section but no real solutions given to the problem or no one has said what their mechanic found.   Would be real upset if I have to replace a trans at 54000 miles.
