Why is Reverse is in the Drive position

There was a new TRS installed previously by someone else. At first my 2000 Ford F250 Super Duty 5.4 L w/automatic transmission would not crank without getting underneath and holding the shifter on the side of the transmission into P, while someone else cranked it. After readjusting and lining up the lines on the NSS or TRS , it cranks normally now . However, it still will not shift into D. You can feel it shift into reverse , it's kind of bogs down but it will move in R. In N the engines revs up and the truck does not move appropriately . Shifting it to D it accelerates backwards in reverse. If you shift it all the way down to 2 or 1 it gets stuck in gear and almost dies and starts sputtering having problems staying running and even died once, as soon as it went into a low gear.. Is this my TCM and can it be reset with a series of ignition turns and shifting it to N and back to P in between the timed off and on turns of the ignition? Should I simply replace the TCS. or is there something I am missing ?

Internal transmission failure.

Agreed. Nothing electronic can cause this.

P0705

2002 f150 4.2v6 4r70w I’m currently getting the p0705 when I put my truck into 1st or 2nd on the colum, the OD flashes and seems to go into a limp mode when I try to use the 2 manual gears. When I try 2nd it goes from 1st to second automatically but when I use 1st it seems to do the same. I just replaced the Transmission range sensor with a motor craft about 6 months ago and I don’t think it’s done this before the new one. Any help is appreciated

Well, you still have an electrical circuit concern related to the TRS. Following the established testing procedure is highly recommended (instead of guessing). Could be the connector, wiring, or PCM as well as the TRS.

You got the wrong TR sensor?
Ford makes several
Double check with the VIN at the dealer, for the one you need, and compare part numbers?

There is no such thing as an a4od. The F53 came with an E4OD.

I have no idea what that means. Does it mean it was in neutral all the time? If so, how did you get it on I 10?

Thankyou sir for the instructions about how to start this journey..
My name is Nick,54 years old married later in life and a live in beautiful panama city beach. I am in maintenance/ construction/painter and am a keyboard player.of 40 years.
I am the owner of 3 fords. 2019 F=150. 1973 Convertible mustang(right now with just a stock 351 cl/fmx that came with the car (built the 351 and put it in myself with the help of Don who happened to walk by)my house one day) (side note lost reverse one day in that car Loud pop) and a 94 38" fleetwood bounder 460 A4OD.
Recently lost my dad who fell and couldn't recover from the resulting injuries. He had bought the camper with the $ from the sale of a 1967 Gibson E335 red (Sams guitar as BB Kings Lucille) He never drove it ... It came from the original owners with 33,000 miles. .
The camper runs well at idle but when you attempt to give it gas to accelerate it has a flutter. like it is NOT getting enough gas .. anyway if I eased on it and manually shift it I could get it up to 55. So I took the camper on her maiden Voyage to Tallahassee from Panama City Beach and while driving it I kept having to down shift from overdrive to third to regather rpm because of the flutter... and at aoubt 55 miles west of Tallahassee she slowed down to a stop and the machine acted like it was in neutral. There was some smoke it seemed from leaking fluid hitting the exhaust, but the motor did not over heat.. crawled under and it looked slightly around the tranny. My next move was to just put fliud in it, It took 4 quarts ( note I never checked the fluid the day I left,,, so it could have been already low( also note I have noticed since I began looking a coolent leak(driper around the thermostat tube area.). Thiis did not fix the problem. I finally got the camper back home( another Long story)
. and started reading the F250 chiltons that came with the camper and after searching forums etc came across you all. I was and am amazed at the wealth and volume of knowledge that you all have. God bless all of you for all you do and any help I may receive I will do my best to pay handsomely forward.

Nobody mentioned performing the pinpoint tests for code P0705
That is where you start
It is not always the TR sensor at fault
Nick1996 fleetwood, If your Fleetwood is a 96 and not a 94 it will sure be easier to check for trans codes
Yours must be a 94 if it has an E4OD
You need a NGS or Forscan to check the trans codes on a 84
Use Alldata not Chiltons
Haynes and Chiltons say things like refer to qualified personnel when dealing with issues like this and HVAC issues
Your library has Alldata you can use and print free
