I did some research and found out that that the problem is called a haning transmission.The engine does not disengage properly,anyone experianced this before,if so is it $$$or just a sensor.

I just recently had a similar problem as yours in my 00X 5.0 .. when i would coast downhill especially or into a town where the speed limit is reduced.. between 55-40mph it feels almost like its downshifting or sumthing but i know thats not it.. I checked my fluid because i had just had it flushed recently.. well needless to say they had 1 qt too much in there.. so i pulled fluid out until i got to the correct level.. My mechanic told me to try this product called "shudder fixx" made by "Dr. Tranny".. so i add this little red tube of stuff right down into the trans fluid.. I instantly noticed a big increase in the shifting.. its alot softer now, and switching gears like R to D is smoother... I feel more topend power.. and its so smooth i barely feel the shifts now.. I have yet to find out about the downhill shifting/slipping problem.. But i have a trip planned tommorow of about 100 miles... mostly twisty and up/down hill back roads.. By tommorow evening I will let ya know about whether or not it has solved this slipping problem.. as for the $7 little red tube i picked up at NAPA.. $7 trans miracles are hard to come by! I'll keep u updated!

Ok well here are the results of the 100 Miles i have driven.. following the use of the "Shudder Fixx". Today all my shifts soomed smooth and the car seemed alot more responsive when i stepped on the accelerator. Only a few times did it do that thing where it felt like it was downshifting or sumthing.. When it did happen it was barely noticeable.. If it werent for me KNOWING and driving my own vehicle for a number of years.. the average driver would had thouht everything was A-OK.. But, It did happen less than before and when it happened it was very fast and didnt slam/jump.. when i stepped back on the accelerator!
So, overall i would say yes this product helped greatly.. I am hopefully that it continues to work and improve the smoothness of my shifts and also solve this trans/engine mystery.. I will try to keep posting as to the improvements.
EXPLORER GUY.. please post if any codes had popped up when u have it checked at Mr. Transmission as i would really liek to know what they have to say also!
