96 F-350 Automatic Transmission Problems I bought a 96 F-350XLT a few months ago. It is a 4x4, 4-door, 1ton, with a 7.3. I have no modifacations added on to the drivetrain, if that info is needed. I Drove all day the other day w/o any problems. Then, the next day, as I started it up, it idled for about 20 seconds, then my overdrive light started blinking. shut it off, started it, and it continued. it's still doing it. i no longer have overdrive, and if i push the button, I lose another gear. we checked the transmission fluid, it was fine, we dropped the pan, no bad wear or anything, it was clean. I have had some professional opinions, but were different, with no clear answer, just offers to put in a new transmission for $3000. Is this a common problem after 200,000 miles, or just bad luck, is there a cheap cure? any help would be really great. |
