This morning on my way to work driving up hill my truck (2004 F150 FX4) suddenly had a delayed shift and and seemed to like it went to neutral. I pulled to the side of the road no trans fault, shift light or CEL, checked the trans fluid and it seems fine, maybe the shifter cable came loose but it’s connected at both the shifter and the transmission. Tried shifting to reverse and no luck, no 4l or 4h.
I wasn’t going to mess with it too much on the side of the highway so I had it towed home.
Now I fear the worst. I pulled the transmission pan and filter off, the fluid is pretty dark but I planned on doing the trans service soon anyways. So I already have a new filter and gasket. Pulled the valve body off and all the valves are free and all the check balls are perfect. I’ve got the gaskets for the valve body coming to reinstall.
Anyone got any insight or advice on what’s going on?
