Seems like my truck has no first gear, starts off at second. I try to put it in 1st and nothing happens. Also there is some slipping at 2000-3000 rpm. Any thoughts on whats going on.

 

Time for a rebuild... 800-1800 depending on where you go and mileage on replacement tranny

 

+1 thats bout when mine went out shifted hard and slipping in low gears and rpms do it yourself take it out and have it rebuilt and install yourself save a ton i did mine for like 2k 2yrs ago then my buddy said he could have had it done with him removing it taking it to a shop and him installing it all for like 850

 

Any way it's something in the transmission that I can fix it myself

 

Depending on your budget, and truck condition, I would go with jasper. 3 year, 100k mile warranty.

 

Well it's like doing drum brakes for the first time take lots of pictures and go slow plan on the truck being down for a week label everything and ... PICTURES,PICTURES,PICTURES and of course a buddy or relative or someone who knows a little bit about a little bit and your off to the races go buy a tranny rebuild kit for around 600-1000 again depending on where you go and what type of tranny you have and go to town worst case scenario you mess it up to the point of no return and you have to bring it to the dealership If you can label and take pictures and got a decent set of tools your good in my book I did my first tranny rebuild in 01 and it took me 8 days and a lot of patience but now there not that bad


Big thing is patience and don't be afraid of it I'd say I for it because this generation of people crack me up when you see A grown man or kid that can't change there own flat tire

Get a wrench start turning were here if you need us!!

 

It's started to down shift hard and still slips around 2500 rpm, also some winding noise coming from the engine area. I have a 2003 F150 4.6L V8 2wd

 

Ya man there are shift solenoids in the transmission they either went bad or something in it failed internally your in need of a rebuild

 

Any body tell me what transmision us in my truck. It's an automatic

 

Open the driver door, and on the right side towards the rocket panel will be a sticker. On that sticker there will be a bunch of different stuff including a transmission code. Post up the code then we can tell you what you have.
