When the transmission goes, it is designed to go into the lowest gear and stay there. I had the same thing, although it was not the entire transmission. It was a part and wound up costing me $300. I was lucky. You are not going to help it with a fluid change. It may be done for, but hopefully not.

Mine is a 1992 F-150, I have all gears, it just won't shift on its own. What was the part you had to buy?

Probably shift solenoid pack. If any electronic faults, it goes to failsafe

Our F150 is our yard truck. It has lived it's life on the road, and has now been "put out to pasture".
 
The problems we are facing now is when we shift the truck into any position. PRND21, they all go forward. Surprisingly when you get in nuetral, the truck "smooths out". There is no neutral or reverse, any ideas???
 
Yes, we checked the transmission fluid.

We just bought a used 1997 F 250 plow truck. Today was our first time using it. We were backing up and I noticed a line of rust colored drips. It appears that a cap of some kind was knocked off and all the transmission fluid ran out. The guy at Napa said there is no cap there. But my husband looked under and definetlynsaw where a metal cap would go. A anyone know if this is true, what it is called? And any other advise.
 
Thanks

While it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, a flashing overdrive light usually means the overdrive has been disabled due to a detected problem (overheating, etc.). You likely now have a trouble code from this, so get the codes checked and that should give you a starting point..

#606 of 606 Slipping trans? by rich37000

Mar 31, 2013 (7:23 pm)

Have a 2004 F150 4.6 v8 w/130k miles. Have gone through 2 ignition coils (cylinders 1&3) the past few months after jerky idling and coding. Everything worked fine for a month, but now I am getting occasional wobble in the RPMs at a stop light accompanied by a "bump" from what feels like the tranny. Accelerates fine and on even highway is fine, but when it goes up a hill it will buck and jerk briefly as it downshifts under load. Has towing package and trans cooler but have only towed about 6 times with it. I'm the only owner and have kept all maintenance fully up to date. Any ideas?
 
Oddly enough, if I accelerate up the same hill by giving it more gas it does not seem to act up...
