I have used this site for a long time but this is my first time having to post.

I have a 98 expedition with a 4.2 liter 4x4 and what I believe to be a 4r70w transmission (u code on the door sticker)

The original transmission went at 105k miles and was replaced with a new factory ford transmission by a ford dealer 3.5 years ago ($3800!)

the new transmission only has 10k miles on it.

Now the new transmission only has reverse. reverse works like normal but no forward gears. the idle will change when i put if in gear, but will not move, acts like it is in N . there is no strange noises,,

It's hard to believe a new trany is shot already, no towing, or off road use.

My question is : is there ANYTHING that can go bad that would cause this? The trany fluid is clean and clear bright red, and no burnt smell.

I want to check everything I can before calling a tow truck to have it looked at. I will have it repaired if needed, but I don't think I want to replace another tranny. Please any help would be great.

ps..

If there is a someone who repairs transmissions and has a lot of experance repairing this transmission and would not mind a 5 minute phone call from me please email me at rpm90001@hotmail.com
