Speedometer/ Transmission trouble
Hello everyone. I just bought a 99 f250 sd 5.4. The speedometer doesn't start working until it reaches about 30 mph. The transmission doesn't shift correctly until the speedometer starts working. I cleaned the speed sensor on the rear end but that didn't help. I don't see any sensors or switches on the tranny other than the neutral safety switch. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or have any idea as to what it is?

I would replace the speed sensor that goes on top of the rear diff. I've never heard of you being able to clean one. I had one give me some similar problems and bought a new one. Problem went away.

Awesome!! Glad to hear that was it. Interestingly enough, when I encountered that problem in my pickup, I was freaked out. Did a search and that brought me to FTE, and the rest is history. I'm glad to return the favor.
