I have a 05 f150 with about 130k. The transmission recently started to shift hard in and out of 3rd. It's erratic. It doesn't do it all the time. It doesn't do it at a certain speed range. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you by chance serviced the transmission?

Tommy Gunn

No have not had transmission services

Could need a fluid change. What's the current condition of the fluid? Is it burnt smelling, extremely dark in color to the point to where it looks brown?

Tommy Gunn

Looks clean still red. Doesn't smell like burnt oil. Has no metallic in it

At 130k id do a pan drop and filter change will most likely help... you fluid at that many miles could have lost all its natual additives

SCORGE

Agree with grss. Make sure to clean pan and magnet
