My transmition on my 03 7.3 will not shift into reverse it's trying but will not go into geat i was having problems with shifting into 2nd gear and after that is fine i am running a edge chip on tow and have 250 000kms on this truck is a farm truck and wondering if this is possibly a "easy fix" or full trans rebuild that way i know to wait to bring it in or fix it now if it is fixable done fluid changes n filter helped a little? any help will be greatly appreciated

 

does it now go into all other gears including OD?

 

If you've already had problems shifting into 2nd and have now lost reverse your trans is already dead. Expect a $4000+ bill for a rebuilt trans or an upgraded unit. Thats what happens if you chip a truck, pull heavy loads, and don't take maticulous care of the trans. You had best get the trans done now before any more extensive damage is done. There are still some very expensive parts that can get wiped out if you keep driving it.

Don't be like me, and just wait for the truck to not work no more before fixing it.

 

Its gone. Bend over, cause the replacement cost is gonna hurt.

 

Don't go with an "OE spec" rebuild either. Best to spend the extra grand or so and get a BTS or equivalent. The 4R100 is junk unless built up. My truck went through 2 of them in 9k miles and was starting to slip on the most recent rebuild at less than 1k.

 

Have you taken it to a shop yet?

 

put some lucas trans fix in her runs almost perfect brought it to ford they couldn't find a dam thing with the trans chip is out now so i have a little time left on it but no doubt it's on the edge lol i can go buy the vasilene and get ready anyway
