I have a 2002 F150 4x2 with the 5sp/4.2. Basically the M5OD sucks. It has never shifted right in 1st and 3rd and recently blew the master/slave in the clutch, requiring multiple tows and fix's.

Last Wednesday I took the truck on a road trip. It progressively handled wrose throughout the day. By the time I got it home it felt like I was hauling a 2000lb load(I had no load). I had to basically ride the clutch to get it to shift and the truck would slow down between gears so while I was riding the clutch to shift I had to realy nail the gas. I parked the truck and didn't drive it for a few days. I get in the truck last Friday and start it. I hit the clutch, which feels like it has pressure and the truck will not go into gear, any gear. It pumped the clutch about ten times and nothing. I finally forced it through the gate into first and let off the clutch to see if it was the master slave. When that goes the clutch won't catch and you'll stall. But the clutch let out fine and the car rolled without jerking. I tried again to put it into first and nothing. I visually inspected the master and slave and clutch line and they were dry.

I had the truck towed in Saturday to my dealer. They call me yesterday and ask why I had the truck towed in. I tell them the story and they tell me well we drove it today and it was fine. I was like GTF outa here. I told them to let it sit and try again. I do not want this thing back only for it to go out again. It has been towed in three times over the past two months and only has 23,000 on it

Anybody experience this??? Please advise, maybe you guys can recommend what they should be looking for.
