I got a 95 f150 5.0 4x4 auto tranny. It doesn't want to go in to drive or reverse i have to play with it a bit to get it to stick in gear. And when i go in reverse i hear a loud clanking noise. It used to just be a squeak when i was in reverse but its not evolved into this. I don't know anything about transmissions, so any ideas guys?

 

Trans fluid is at level by the way.

 

I had the needle bearings rust out in a u-joint. It started as a squeak and turned into a clunk. You could check that.

 

Yeah my truck is rusting out everywhere, and i know the ujoint is bad. Ill replace that next weekend. gotta love east coast vehicles rusting.

 

Have you checked the linkage?

 

No, i havent

 

Calvert county...

been there..

What's the mileage on your truck?
