I have a "06" F350, with 106k miles. just out of warranty.... Figures...!
It has the 5r110w torqshift, while traveling down the highway this winter "COLD OUT" about 55 mph I slightly accelerated and the tranny felt like is shifted into neutral. I pulled over and stopped. If I shifted it into reverse or forward, it would rock the truck slightly in each direction... Slightly. pulled the SCT tuner out and hooked it up to get DTC codes had a 730 and some others, read on the forums and it said that usually caused by Coast/Direct solenoid. I lost the paper with the other code's. I have replaced the internal wiring harness, and the "A" and "D" solenoids, both filters disconnected the batteries for a day. Restarted it and it does the same thing. Pressed the tow light and it starts flashing. the only other thing I found was the ECM controller wiring harness closest to the tranny was not locked down completely, but it was still seated, just the locking mechanism was not locked. Fluid was a little dark red when drained, and round magnet in pan was holding some very fine grey material. Checked the codes again and no codes.
I am the second owner of this truck so I do not know if this magnet was added or original. It looks like a washer about 1.125" inside dia. and 1.5" outside and about .250 thick.
Now What do I do!
Is it a different solenoid?
I read something about a snap ring.
Man o man, this truck is like an accident prone child. Something is always going wrong.
