Ok, here goes. I have been having the same problem with the hard shifting in my 97 f150 5.4 4X4 with the E4OD, as 98mkiv has had with his Expedition. I am going to try to get some codes for you guys, but Casey1 talked about it might be the Accumulator body. I have never opened an auto trans before, and am trying to get an exploded view of one, so I have an idea what to look for. I cant afford to take it to the shop, with christmas just over. I havefound that if you stop and turn off the ignition, and start itback up, it stops for a while, "until the next time it is driven". I need some help here guys. Thanks.

 

I only got 3 codes, Now where can I go to get an idea as to what is actually wrong, broke, or out of adjustment?


P0503 Vehicle Speed Sensor Intermittent (current code)
