Can I install a transmission out of 2003 f150 into a 98 f150?
I have a 98 f150 that has a 4r70w transmission, I installed a transmission out of a 2003 f150. Are they compatible? Everything is bolted up fine . I'm getting a p.o. 500 code and transmission won't shift out of first gear,Reverse is fine
No odometer or speedometer. Changed vss sensor

Yeah, that could be a big problem. At some point before 04, many of the 2wd transmissions started coming out of the factory with no VSS drive gear on the output shaft. There was still a plug on the housing that could be removed and a VSS bolted in place, but if the output shaft doesn't have a drive gear then it's just going to sit there. You can tell by removing the VSS and sticking your finger in the hole to feel the output shaft. If it has a smooth surface and no drive gear then you're not going to be happy
This would exactly cause what you are experiencing. No easy fix. It has to come out and all the way apart to get an output shaft in it with a drive gear.
Easier to punt this transmission and get one with a drive gear.
