Help - Tranny Starting to Slip!
Hey Guys, an old forum member here but have not posted in years.
Yesterday while driving my 2003 F150 SuperCrew with only 82K miles I felt the transmission starting to slip. This is the first time since I’ve owned her have I ever felt this.
What happened is when I was driving at normal speeds, maybe around 25 mph all of the sudden the RPM’s would surge real high but I wasn’t going any faster.
I drove her straight home and parked her. I checked the transmission fluid and all looks ok.
I am a little stressed and really hoping that my transmission is not shot.
Should I take it to a Ford dealer to have it looked at or will a place like Aamco be ok?
Thanks guys.
p.s. what happened to my gallery that was located at https://www.f150online.com/galleries/....cfm?gnum=2443

The trans is on it's last leg. I am going through the same thing right now. Mine started to slip while towing a camper, made it home okay and drive it the next few days but it got worse over the next few days.
I took the truck to AAMACO and they wanted an open check book to rebuild, told me $2k to $3k. Told them to put it back together and I would look around. Found Millenium Transmissions online and ordered a 4R70W with transgo shift kit and HD torque converter for $1477, no tax no freight. They even pay to have the old unit picked back up. I hoep to have the new trans in this weekend.
Good luck, but I think your looking at a rebuild or replacement.
