Bringing this thread back to the top. Did you ever get this issue resolved? I’m experiencing similar issues. It’ll stay in 1st or 2nd gear for a while and then decide to shift. Sometimes the speedo will jump from cruising speed to zero and any where in between. It’s intermittent for me as well but happens more often. I would say the only consistency is that it happens as the engine/transmission warms up. Fully warm or dead cold it doesn’t happen. Not that I can notice. I haven’t tried any of the suggestions mentioned here yet though.
We took the truck to Ford who replaced the main lead frame connection and reprogrammed the transmission. The part cannot be purchased at O'Reilly because it actually needs to be programmed by ford prior to install. My ford dealer was gonna charge 500 for the part and another 150 to program. If i brought the parts separately to their service. They charged 700 totoal with install and warranty of 2 years.

Hate to tell you this but you got screwed, the lead frame is plastic and wires nothing to program on the part itself, the programming is under a recall right now and they should have done that part for nothing.

You didn't hook something up? Pinched/broken a wire? No idea what happened when you were inside it. I'd have to physically take it apart and look for my self to know.

Earlier you said your gear indicator is stuck in 2, this is the problem, there's a range switch built into the lead frame that needs to be lined up with the shifter selector in the trans when it's installed. If it isn't lined up properly the truck won't start because it won't register as being in park or neutral, you need to drop the valve body back down and line it up properly.

thanks! That’s what I will do. I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to take it off but I guess I have no other option. I appreciate the feedback. I will update on what the out come is.

No problem, I've seen the issue before and quickly recognized what probably happened. You specifically want to make sure the black plastic piece to the right of the shaft that slides back and forth in the lead frame lines up with the shaft as shown in the photo, there's tab the sticks out and fits in the grove in the shaft. You'll be able to see that this is your problem just by dropping the pan and looking up from the bottom, but to correct it the lead frame has to be unbolted from the valve body and realigned.

Thanks again for the help you where spot on. I took the trans pan back off and Although I did line the lead frame up with the valve body I didn’t line it up with the peace that is attached to the truck itself. After that it started right up. That’s what I get for trying to doing things at night.
