Won't shift into overdrive
I own a 2004 F 150 Super crew ( not Heritage ) with 5.4 V8 4x4 and 4 sp auto trans . Today it decided not to go into overdive when i was going down the road .The engine would revup and if i would shut the overdrive off , the truck would go back into third gear and continue moving .Has anyone had this problem before?

Is the overdrive light, on the stalk, flashing? If there is a problem with the transmission, the computer will store the codes. Have it checked and post the codes. Someone here will be able to interpret them for you.

There was no light that came on .I called my Ford dealer but do to the holidays they can't look at it until Monday .

I`m sure you checked the fluid level ,the fliter is not clogged up and you have no leaks. Other than that that`s about all us mortals can do for the time being. Good luck.

I just had the fluid changed about 10,000 miles ago .The fluid level is correct on the mark . I will have to wait til Mon to have my Ford dealer look at it. Thanks

I had the same thing happen to my 04 w/ 5.4 at about 32k. It was the overdrive band i believe. They had to pull the trans and replace it. Kept acting like it was going into neutral, but then turn o/d off and it was fine

I got my F 150 Back from the Ford dealer yesterday .I had to wait a week for the tranny mechanic to heal from an ailing back .They found a snap ring broke in the overdrive clutches and a part of the ring got into the valve body and wouldn't let it shift into overdrive
