The diode clutch has to lock and hold for second gear,it is possible for the diode to work sometimes and then not work.

So if his mechanical diode has not been replaced, that could be his problem and is this just an 01 problem?

i took it to advance yesterday didn't show any codes, but he told me theirs didn't always work, i think monday morning im going to take it to another dealer i called them and he wants me to bring it up and take him for a ride in it, so maybe they can tell me a little something more,
BTW it does it in second and third, the only time it does it is around 25 mph and 35 mph

It is possible for the diode clutch to lock and not freewheel in third gear,the trans would bind up,It would feel like the brakes were on.

well took it to another dealer yesterday and after driving a hour to get there the shop foreman took a ride with me and it started acting up i took him back to the dealership and he told me to hold on a min and he would see how backed up his trans tech was after 20 min of waiting he came back and said it would be three weeks before he could get to me, but he did tell me that the trans itself seems ok but it acted like something electrical, or something not holding pressure like a valve body gasket or something, but he said if it was electrical it would have to be on the input side since it was not showing any codes so now im stuck again there is not that many good tranny people around here so now i gota figure out something else

I also am having the same problems. First rebuilt trany with 23,000 miles. New torque converter at 64,000 miles. Now leaking fluid again. want to know what all to replace and what brand to put in it. It will not have a ford anything in front of the transfer case.
