Tranny slip
'98 Exploder XLT
V6 4.0L sohc
112,000 mi.
My tranny used to ocasionally slip, but now it is happening more and more, and appears to happen on any gear. It feels like the engine continues to have throttle, but just rev's because it doesn't engage the tranny. (does that make sense?)
The last time I went into Ford for "thumping" they rebuild the tranny, and that only helped for a little while. Then I had a fluid service a couple years later when it started to slip.... that helped only a LITTLE. I am at my witts end.
Any thoughts?

I had it rebuild the first time. When I had my last fluid service, the mechanic commented on how clean it was inside.
