Now it sounds like there's about 4 dozen loose bolts rattling around in the tranny when you put it in gear.

I'm going to go with a remanned unit from Ford and hopefully have it installed next week.

Make sure the tranny cooler gets changed and the tranny cooler lines get flushed......a valve body might be a wise investment too....
