Hi guys, New to the forum and looking for help. I have a 03 f150 2wd with the 4.6l. Recently it has been slow shifting into reverse(about 2 full seconds) and when it finally gets in reverse it shudders when it comes under load. The fluid is full and not burnt, was hoping someone had a similar issue and could fill me in. Thanks

 

I have a 98 xlt 5.4L 4x4 that was doing the exact same thing. Basically, you will need a rebuild to fix it. I found a newer trans with 75,000 miles and installed that. I wish I could explain in more detail what exactly is causing the reverse delay, but a rebuild is all that will cure it.
