1997 OBS Transmission Issues!
Dad's 1997 F250XLT 7.3 PWS will out of nowhere start shifting funny (E4OD transmission) and the 'OD" light starts flashing. He pulls over, disconnects the batteries for several minutes. The problem goes away and all is fine for who knows how long until it happens again. Sometimes it's the next week, and sometimes it's a month or 6 weeks later. I know someone on this blog has had this issue too, so what's going on and what do we need to do?

If you want me to take a guess into the dark my first guess would be the sensor on the top of the rear axle. But then again, that's simply a guess.

We got no way to pull the codes on our own, but I think he took it to the transmission shop and they read the codes, and if memory serves they are the ones that showed him the battery disconnect trick. I'll see if he has a service ticket with codes.......meanwhile I'm replacing his AC suction hose next week, so I might order a VSS and replace that too since they are less than $20 on Rockauto.com

and if you knew my dad, you'd know that the difference between what they told him, what he actually heard, and what he remembers could be light years apart. LOL!!!......I'll see what I can do!
