Hi I have a 93 f250 5.8 automatic the transmission all of a sudden stated shifting funny and no it's not slipping when you let off the gas it goes into a lower gear sometimes and drags the truck down also it's now showing way to much transmission fluid and Ik for a face that it was fine before any replys or answer would be greatly appreciated thanks for reading
Did the o/d light flash? Did you pull codes? I'd start there. Assuming you e4od of course. My 94 would act up and limp mode. Changed vss, connector for vss, checked all connectors trans related. Pulled psom from behind dash visually checked it, put it back, and knock on wood it fixed it. Most problems with these are electrical from what I've read and experienced.
No codes is a bad thing. At the very least you should gotten the System Pass code of 111 for the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) tests and the same for Continuous Memory (stored codes).
Ya it has a overdrive button and I had a friend tell me my toque converter could be failing and emptying back in to the pan is this possible
It isn't possible when the engine is running. It is very possible with the engine off. But once the engine starts the torque converter refills and it isn't a problem when shifting.
When you checked the fluid level you had the trans warmed up and the engine was idling in park, right? If not, your reading is meaningless.
Is the trans fluid nice and red? Or is it a light pink? If it's pink, you may have a leak in the cooler in the radiator, that could over fill the trans pretty quick..

BTW How does the trans fluid smell?
Have you added any coolant lately?
The truck leaks coolant from the radiator and the trans oil is kinda pink and it's like fizzy?
