I don't think anything external to the trans can cause this unfortunately. There are feed bolts under the valve body which tend to loosen and can cause this. If not that you could have a bad seal which would mean rebuild time.

Don't waste money on new fluid. That won't fix it. Either will anything electrical. There is an internal problem. It could be as simple as loose feed bolts, or it could need a rebuild.

Assuming it a four by four, then I had a similar problem with my 99 F25o which turned out to be the transfer case actually.
I was told that there was a problem with the shift fork on that vintage NV transfer case (I believe it that make) riding out of position against something ultimately causing its failure.
Bought a rebuilt for a grand, 300$ install. Too heavy for my taste.
Same thing, tranny oil looked great, no smells etc but wouldn't move.
