Reverse
I have a 1994 ford f150 4x4 with the 5.8l, I recently bought it and the only issue I have might not even be an issue, but since I have never owned a ford I'm wondering what yall think. Ok here is the issue, when I put it in reverse it doesnt automatically go into reverse it waits a second and then it finally goes in. Is this just a ford thing I know on my old chevy as soon as you put it in reverse is was ready to go. any advice would be appreciated, it only has a 101000 miles on it, so i dont see a full rebuild as something it needs. maybe just a fluid and filter change, please let me know, and thank you for your time.

If the engine dies sometimes when you go in Reverse then you probably have a low ATF level and the filter fell in the pan. The transmission taking too much to go in reverse might point at some wear, a shift kit could improve that.

This is an example (this model actually fits the E4OD auto in our trucks):

Nothing... You just need to take the pan down and do the work, of course taking the pan down and refilling the trans. afterwards need some procedures, but they're too complicated. Do a search for a shift kit install thread, it should be easy.
