94 350 E4OD shifting issues

So upon using the googler I’m at a loss here I have a 94 350 crew cab with the 460 and a e4OD that has a intermittent shudder and sluggish response feels like I’m driving on a washboard at 50-60 and it’s only happening sometimes and others it hard shifts into limp mode…now part of me tells me it’s just the 240k miles catching up to it but as it’s my daily I can’t really have it go down but also I have a fast turn signal as if i have a bad light yet all are working so wizards of the forum guide me as to my potential problems! Thank you in advance

The first step is to read the codes. Here's how: www.troublecodes.net/ford

The next thing to do is to check the trans fluid. Is it full? Low? Overfilled? Red, brown, or black? Does it have a burnt odor?

Do not throw away your original VSS. You will most likely find your issue is not resolved and may get worse.
