Automatic to standard
I just recently bought a 99 F150 5.4 4x4. The transmission just started to slip so im preparing to replace it. I was considering going in with a standard transmission and was hoping yall could give me some advice on what problems i might run into. And which transmission do yall sugest i go back in with? Thanks for all the help.

2 routes to fix this are to get a custom tune to set the transmission type in your computer to manual, or to get a computer from a factory manual equipped truck with identical equipment and have PATS reset for your truck.

There was never a manual available with the 5.4 in a F-150. The 5 speed M5OD-R2 was a light duty Mazda transmission and was only used with the V-6 and 4.6. It will not hold up behind a 5.4. There was a heavy duty ZF behind the 5.4 in the Super Duty, but it requires a body lift or a big hole poked in the tunnel to put it into a F-150. NOT a feasible swap with a 4x4, there are transfer case and driveshaft issues.
I would get your automatic rebuilt.
