tranny problem
Hi all:
New to this forum. I posted this in another part of the site and didn't get much response so I thought I would ask again here. I have a 97 F-150 4 X 4 with 4.2 engine. It has about 58,000 miles on it. At about 50,000 miles I noticed that the shift from 2-3 slipped and made a loud squalling noise as the trans made the shift. It seems to do this almost exclusively during moderate acceleration. Under light or heavy acceleration it seems to shift fine. Some questions:
1. What transmission model is this?
2. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
3. Not being much into wrenching anymore, am I going to have to re-fi the house to get it fixed?
4. Someone suggested a fluid change with Mobil 1. Think it might help or do I have a serious problem?
5. Are there adjustments (bands, etc.) that can be made?
Thanks for any help you might give.
Bob

I recommend you track down a Ford Service CD for your year truck. eBay usually has plenty for $5-12 ea, but MotorHaven or the classifieds here might, too. It'll have everything you never wanted to know about the truck.
