Trans Issue (Hard Shift & Slipping)
This is my first post so bear with me please. I have a '95 F-150 (auto) 4WD with a 302 v8 in it, not quite sure on the transmission. I think it's a 4R70W because there's a U under the transmission section on the sticker in the door jam. Anyways, I had just bought the truck from a guy upstate about a month and a half ago and at the time I bought it, it was leaking transmission fluid like no other. Being nowhere near home where I could find and fix the problem myself I took it to a local shop and got the leak fixed. The whole time I've had the truck it's always had a hard shifting up to 2nd gear from 1st (Gears 3 and 4 shift over fairly easy) but now it's also starting to slip out of gear when I come to a stop and try to pick back up again. I was wondering what exactly this means and how i could go about fixing it. Whether it's by the way of buying parts and wrenching on it for a couple hours or if I need to take it to a shop to be evaluated or rebuilt. I've done a little research on the subject already but am sad to disclose that I am still very much in the dark about this situation. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I've checked the fluid and the fill level is right around where it should be

Between the couple of posts in this thread, you should be able to pull the codes without a code reader - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ing-codes.html
