04 expedition transmission problem
I'm hoping someone can shed some light for me. I have a 04 Expedition with what I believe is the 4R70W transmission, 4x4 with 5.4 motor. the other day, put vehicle into drive and engine revved up then jumped into 1st gear. After about a day of this, now it wont go into any forward gears, only reverse. In drive, it barely moves at all. Checked fluid, full but looks a bit dirty. pulled into garage, put up in jacks and dropped pan, pulled filter. There was a plastic part in the pan, round ball like with o-ring on it and a plastic stem like a round sucker stick sticking out if it about 1/2 inch long. i was going to remove trans and have it rebuilt, but i thought i should try some simple stuff first! does this sound like its rebuild time? not sure why this part was in pan!
I have used this forum before with great results when working on my 06 f-350 dually and 00 F-53 chassis motorhome!

Yikes. That's a long long time. The service interval is every 30k. Best you can hope to do is a change and clean the filter and see what happens. Make sure you use a procedure that swaps all the fluid, not just part of it. You saved a little on the service over the years but it may be coming back to haunt you now.
