Persisting transmission shift problem
2001 SC 5spd Auto 4WD, 87,000 miles
I recently did the valve body and associated TSB fix because I had intermittent hard shifting from first to second. Seemed to help, but now have the delayed shifting problem again.
Any suggestions?

When you did the valve body mod, did you do a full tranny fluid pump out????
What kind of shape was the tranny fluid in & what did the internals of the tranny look like deposit wise, any varnish noticed????
What did the trany pan deposits look like & how much debirs was down there????

Thanks for your replies.
Tranny fluid was changed with the valve body replacement. No debris in the pan when I took it apart. No "varnish". Nothing unusual looking, everything was clean.
I did not adjust the bands.

Thanks for the link.
I crawled under the truck last night and sprayed some PB blaster on the adjustment studs. Then pulled up the procedure on my Ford repair CD. Doesn't look too bad to do.
I'll try it this weekend.
