Torqueshift slippage
I was told once that slippage in the transmission feels like driving in sand. Well, my '03 F250 feels just like that every time I start off. I've noticed no revving of the engine and it seems to be no different whether pulling heavy or just driving empty. Is this feeling likely a slip? Does it mean the transmission is going out? Is there something I need to do to prevent this? Thanks.

To clarify, it sort of feels like the back tires slip some even though it's on dry pavement. I suppose it could be in the limited slip rear end, but this is the second limited slip I've had in it this year and this problem was the same before and after the change. Any thoughts?

[QUOTE=Mark Kovalsky;11826719]If the transmission is slipping the ATF is going to be brown or black. If it isn't slipping the fluid will still be red.[/QUOTE
Mark, I was hoping you'd weigh in. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
