yeah,know that. what i meant was any idea on cause ,my neighbor thinks possibly
torque converter locked or bolts loose or flex plate broken,
three weeks since this happend havent had time or place to pull trans . not a kid anymore,35 wife & kids 60+hrs at work. I have been running fords a long time just trying to get an idea what it could be before I take time to pull it.
btw from reading this forum, I rebuilt an 85 f150 with a 300 /6. And it topped 140mph. Thank you guys.

We could all take guesses at what went wrong with your transmission and most likely all be wrong!
This is like calling a doctor, telling him you don't feel good and asking him "what's wrong with me", he isn't going to know until he examines the patient.
Unfortunately, (for you) no one here has had the exact same problem with their truck.
At this point it's going to be you who educates us as to what occured with your transmission.
Please let us know.
Good luck!

may your trans rest in peaces
mine aways hanged between gears when coming to a stop or slowing down and it would always die going up hill slowly first it would start shaking then a very loud grinding noise then it would die or roughly downshift into 3rd
