Letting go...
Well people, I'm looking at an '01 Lariet crew cab f-350 single rear wheel with an A/T and 145,000 miles, my question is the tranny seemed to shift a little hard into o/d or maybe quick is the word I'm looking for, I hit 45 or 50 mph or so, it seemed like a solid lock up. I'm just wondering if that's normal. I like the six speed and all, but my knee don't anymore and the wife don't care for it either.
Soooo... the '99 is going up for sale.. and I get to start the mods all over again

my '01 F-250 Crewcab tranny went South at 108,000.... It was having a lot of trouble shifting from 2nd to 3rd.... Ended up buying a BTS-trans... When 'Brian' from BTS tore into my old tranny, he said that the OD was ate-up the worse than any of the rest of the gears....
A transmission flush may help it out... I tried that on mine when it was shifting bad, but it was too late... One day it shifts fine and the next it was gone gone gone.

When I bought my '03 it had 146K on the odometer. The tranny shifted smooth (nothing rough at all) albeit a little mushy.

From what I remember of my stock transmission, the gear shifts were somewhat soft and mushy compared to when the TC locked up (around 40mph under light throttle). So what you describe sounds about normal. It's been about 100k miles since my original transmission was rebuilt though, so my memory is a bit fuzzy...
