Hello All,
I am new to this forum and really like what I see. I belong to a few similar sites for my Mustang. What I have going on and I hope someone can shed a light on it for me is my 1995 F150 4X4 with 5.8 engine and automatic transmission out of the blue the other day it started shifting like it had one of those aftermarkets shift kits in it. The truck does have 175,000 miles on it but has always run well and I was setting a goal of 250000 miles for it. When it shifts it jerks enough that you feel it in the seat. My fear is that the tranmission is on a quick downward spiral but I hope not. Any light any one can shine on the issue will be greatly appreciated. Ryan

I just bought the same truck motor and all and extended.Mine has 210000 on it.It was a 2 owner.It shifts like that since I have had it.But for me I like it.I like being able to feel it in the seat when it changes gears.I don't like for it to slide through the gears.To my knowledge nothing has been done to mine. But with it being elcitric shift .Any tranny shop should be able to hook a computer to it and change the shift point to soften it up or firm it up.

HAVE A 1994 F150/5.O/E4OD TRANNY. SHE SHIFTS FINE IN 1ST/2ND, HOWEVER, WHEN YOU PUT HER IN DRIVE, YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE ALOT JUST TO MOVE. I'M THINKING I HAVE A SUCK VALVE. GONNA USE LUCAS TRANNY TREATMENT WITH FRESH OIL AND FILTER 2-3 TIMES TO TRY TO FLUSH SYSTEM AND UNSTICK VALVE. AM I GOING ABOUT THIS CORRECTLY??

You can try . If your trans has been kept up with regular fluid changes go for it . A change may help. But once these slip they are done.
But Sounds like trans is on way out . Thats a common warning sign.

yo!
Try this first; a Self Test by BroncoJoe19
do the KOEO = Key On Engine Off portion first
& Remember to have engine @ Normal Operating Temperature before doing the KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) portion
That will help w a bad sensor or wiring, etc. repair
Post any code found here
