possessed transmission
I'm new to this but here goes. I have a 2004 6.0 with an auto tranny. when i put it in drive or reverse it takes 3 or 4 seconds to go into gear and when it finally does it drops in with a bang. 3rd to 4th shift acts like you are putting it in netural with your foot on the floor and then putting it in gear. also when i'm really on it, the tow haul light will start flashing and it wont change into 5th or over drive until i put the truck in park, shut it off and restart it. It has had the reverse planatery set replaced and been reflashed. My dealer is trying to fix it but he is stumped. no trouble codes show up either.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Most likely you have one or more bad solenoids.

The delay and sudden engagement is definitely one of the solenoids. I have had this problem also fixed it and it is recurring again. Ford has an updated solenoid available, whether it is better we will soon see.

If your truck is affected by the recall the warranty expireation shuldn't be an issue if your hurry and get it in. The effective date ends 03/31/2006

Certain trucks built from 3-8-04 through 6-24-04 may experience a failure of the low/reverse planetary assembly. Specifically one or more of the planet gear pinion shafts may walk out of the carrier. If this occurs metallic contamination of the fluid will occur and will cause harsh or slipping shifts and/or harsh or delayed engagements in forward or reverse.

Have them check the inline "toilet paper roll" filter for metal. That's where, in my experience, the debris will be most evident if the rear gearset is wearing. Changing the pressure control solenoid and the filter may make it work for a few weeks, but it won't last.

Ahhh... the ole possessed transmission thing....
Well, have you tried hanging a garlic clove off the rearview mirror and chanting the following... "I love my truck and your evil spirit is not wanted here... now go away and visit my neighbor's Chevy."
The garlic keeps away ugly women and eveil tranny spirits.

Maybe I should have tried that before the evil tranny spirits destroyed my tranny...
