99 F-250 LD Tans. trouble
I am new here and can't figure out this forum. If I am in the wrong place please tell me how to use this thing. I have a 99 F-250 LD that has a 4.6 auto. It acts like the tranny is slipping. It creeps until you get high RPM then bangs into gear. If you let off the gas it does it again. If you hold your foot on the brake and the gas to keep the tranny loaded it stays in gear. I have older tranny experience but nothing this new. Any help appreciated.

The guy I bought it from said he had the tranny flushed and filled. It is at the full mark but it looks more like clean engine oil than tranny fluid. I am used to red this is clearish tan. Also once the tranny engages it will flat smoke the tires in a 1st and 2nd gear power brake. Definitley not burnt up.

I tried tranny fluid and sea foam. Seemed to make no noticeable difference. A transmission specialist told me it was clutches. I pulled the tranny, disassembled it and guess what...clutches all look good. Bands all look good. Everything mechanical seems fine. Is there something to check in the valve body or should I just give up and get a salvage tranny?

240,000. It was an oil field truck. I got it for little a nothin. Doesn't smoke. Everything works. Just had trans. trouble. If you don't look at the odometer you'd never know it had 240,000. I think that says something for Fords 4.6. I here it dogged alot. I have had 2 and I think they are good engines. Apparently 4r70w ain't a bad trans. either if it goes 240,000
