Transmission kicking the bucket?

[Sportsnutim]

I own a 2001 F-250 AT 4x4 with 125000 miles on it and it just started dragging in drive, I mean it will not drive all now: second, first works fine and reverse. I checked the fluid which was good but it smells burnt I had it serviced at 100,000. Any ideas would be really really be appreciated!

From what you stated, it is fried. The burnt smell gives it away. You need a rebuild. Not going into a gear (drive) is a big clue.

Thanks for advice

I had a feeling by the smell it was "toast" my diesel has been awesome and so was the trans, which did a lot of towing was great. Would you suggest a performance transmission or just rebuilt?

I don't have the solution for your tranny, but someone here will come along and recommend a good rebuilder or other solution. BTS is one that you will hear of (Brian's Transmission Service). Good Luck with your search.

BTS is Brian's Truck Shop.

Brian's Transmission Service is not the BTS everyone talks about.

 

[DaveBen]

Sorry about the misunderstanding. BTS = Brian's Truck Stop.

He is the best Transmission man around, and he does stand behind what he does.

Ok everyone, I have another question. Someone who used to be a mechanic with Ford said that a sensor on the drivers side can go out which can cause the transmission not to shift correctly. Is their any truth to this and if so wouldn't I a idiot light come on in the dash?

If you read what I wrote I was saying that BTS is Brian's Truck Shop NOT Brian's Transmission Service, and that Brian's Transmission Service is not the BTS that everyone talks about.
