So i have a 96 F250 with the 7.3 PS. so my problem is the transmission goes into a fail mode intermittently the guy at our local shop said the VSS was covered with metal shavings like a possible bearing going out. would that cause my transmission problems?

thanks for reading

 

What do you mean by fail mode? If the vss is covered with shavings that very well could cause a problem with it. However if the vss is that covered, you probably have some rear end problems too.

 

Pull the rear end cover and see what you have.
