Well, hate to be the bringer of bad news, but it sounds like the clutches may be burned and it needs rebuilt. I make a real good 4R100 (if you have the 4.6, you have a 4R70W, the 5.4 prolly has the 4R100) but I don't think you want or need one of my Monster Boxes, so I won't go on about it. I also do stock rebuilds with mild reliabilty upgrades for $1200, but the shipping and the R&R will be a bit more, I don't do installs.
I will do one for the $1200 though, which is a good price, it carries a 12 month unlimited milage warranty (replacement only)

Another option is to look on E-bay for a company called Phoenix Transmission, they do more than competent work and they have decent prices, again, the same deal on shipping and the install.

Hope this helps,

thanks for the reply, what do you have in the way of a more race built tranny, i have the 5.4 awd model but i have to admit i beat on the truck a lil bit, usually at the drag strip every weekend and on wednesdays, is there some type of tranny u can build with neck snapping shifts? kinds race preped? thanks for anything you can do - matt

I build a full race trany for Lightnings, I get $2095 for them they are dyno tested, but I can't warranty them. That said, I wont let you get one and a month later bolw it up and say "too bad", I take care of my customers. Check out the lightning threads and www.nloc.info for some feedback on my Monster Box.

99sprucexpy--

I'm not sure what your budget is for a transmission, but I just wanted to tell you I personally wouldn't hesitate to spend my money on FactoryTech. I can speak from experience that he is always there if you have questions or concerns and he does excellent work. Good luck with what ever you do!
