2001 e 250 trans shift problem
i have a 01 e 250 gas with auto trans just today trans started slipping to nuetral on the upshift from stop then would go into o/d. but if you gas it some it will shift into 3rd then to o/d just fine also if you floor it while drive will drop to 2nd then hit 3rd then o/d just fine only seems to act up from dead stop any ideas???

First thing to do is check for codes.
Next quick thing to do is check electrical connections to the trans.
What trans is it?
It could also be anything from a bad solenoid to internal leaks. The last requires complete dissasembly.
Rebuilt or replace, its kinda one and the same less your getting a factory new unit.
Its all a cost deal.

havent checked codes yet and not really sure what trans i have how can i tell???? the van is 2000 with 5.4 triton motor if that helps. seems to be electrical issue i believe some times it seems to shift right and other times hits nuetral after 2nd then finally goes right to o/d but if you give it a little gas it drops right into 3rd like its suppose to.
