Transmission issues help.

My transmission is messed up! 2002 f250 5.4 4r100 the transmission was rebuilt 2.5 years ago.

Well I did my normal yearly fluid change and a month after my transmission started acting up. When I placed it in reverse it would stall sometimes. I never had the issue of gears slipping also. Yesterday the truck ran great. Today it will not go into gear. Nothing but park will noticeably engage.

If I floor the engine it will move when placed in any gear drive or reverse but very crappy. Seems to me like the torque converter might be bad, but I'm not sure?

What do you guys think it is?

I think it is so low on fluid that it can't move. I also think that flooring it will destroy the clutches in 2-3 seconds.

If you’ve done it before you can do it again. Search for The transmission bench on YouTube E4od/4r100 and you will find a very slow and tedious tutorial hosted by this guy that makes everything ok somehow. Good luck!
