Transmission

I have a 1997 F-150, 2 wheel drive, 4.6L truck. Recently the transmission got to where it didn't shift properly. Then it got to where, after driving it about 10 to 15 miles the transmission would drop out of gear with the transmission selector in drive.


I have replaced the transmission sensor, the rear end sensor and it still does the same thing. Drive about 10 to 15 miles and, with the transmission selector in drive the truck will not pull. The motor can be rev'ed but the truck won't move just like it was in netural.


Anyone have any idea what is wrong. The transmission shifts fine, the truck runs fine, but after 10 to 15 miles the transmission quits working. Thanks.

Check the fluid level first. If it is correct, go to the next step.

Call a tow truck and have them haul the truck to a transmission shop so the tranny can be diagnosed, then repaired, replaced, or overhauled.
