shifting problem
ok i own a 94 f150 4x4 5.0 e40d trans with overdrive and when i take off from a dead stop the shift from 1st to 2nd gear it winds out and slams or shifts very hard unless i take off slow through 1st and 2nd all other gears work fine np even overdrive it has done this since i first bought it and has never really bothered me but i have added a plow and well plowing i cant baby it through the gears any ideas i priced a rebuild and WOW i cant afford that right now the only reason i ask is i dont want to hurt the trans

First off man I am sorry for your problems.
I had similar problems with my 4 speed a couple years ago. I wouldn't stress out your transmission too much. We did hauling sheep to the county fair it blew. Before that however, it wouldn't go in reverse at all and the first couple of gears were gave you whiplash when shifting. We took it in and had it looked at and there was no fluid, the first couple of gears were welded and my reverse was literally metal shavings. Soooo, it could be that the first gears are getting too hot. Other than that, I'm not sure.
Transmissions are tough to deal with.
Good luck though!!!
