shifting
My 1997 psd shifts from 2 to 3 real quick and lugs the engine it does it most the time.Ever now and then it will shift like it should. it only has 15000 miles on a rebuild.it has a super chips on it and changing it does not help.

You need to watch live data and look at the inputs to the PCM. Most likely you have a sensor sending bad data.

Anybody with a GOOD scan tool that has Ford software could do it. When I owned a repair shop I had a tool that could do this. Often it is the only way you can diagnose an electronic transmission.
