94 F150 I6 E4od tranny problem
I have a 94 F150 shortbed 2wd it the I6 and E4od trans. over the last few months ive noticed a shuddering noise when i got my foot in it. i has a transmission tech ride with me in hopes of the tranny making that noise. when it did, he said the clutches were slipping and i needed either the tranny to be rebuilt of get a new tranny. when he told me the price for him to rebuild my tranny would be ballpark $2800, i almost wrecked. the trucks got, at this writing, 143,100 some miles on it. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if so, what did you do. any help would be much appreciated.

I hate tech people that say you need a rebuild without even looking at the pan. What a thief.
What I would do is take it to a different shop and have them flush the fluid and replace the filter. Then see where you're at. There is a stop shudder additive that others have used with some success as well.
