This is a pretty common problem on Chevrolet trucks and vans with the 4L80E transmission (TH400 w/overdrive). First gear howls like a banshee, second gear not as bad and third it's gone.
I have replaced NUMEROUS output carriers/sun gears in these transmissions due to improper machining marks on the gears. I can't vouch for Ford, but it sounds to me that you have a similar problem on your hands, although with the Chevys, it's not a big deal, just noisy. Have your dealer check it out, man!!
