A bottle of lucas oil would probably do it good, added instead of a quart of tranny oil. I've heard that catalytics can cause that, have a buddy with a 94 whose truck fumbled in gear at around 40-45, that's what he was told. Not sure about it personally.

I feel ya, but ford's been the apple of my eye for long as I can remember. I used to have a real thing for that diesel, and the mid 90's body style, but my 90's treated me pretty well.
