1994 Ford F53 Transmission Failure

Multiple reasons for what happened. Stuck solenoid valve, failed oil pump, something let go in the torque convertor or maybe you're just low on oil. The difficult decision is to you pay out potentially several thousand or start over with a new to you coach.

If everything else is in good working order with the house side of the coach I would consider full replacement but first I would have the engine checked out. Oil analysis, cylinder compressor and leak down testing just to ensure that you won't be bolting a new transmission to a engine that might be in need of a rebuild.

$5000 sounds high to me. Rebuilts are $2K on Ebay and the guys on the Ford forums are talking about the same- $2-3k.

It also depends if you do a remanny or new torque converter.

I would do some checking around.

You keeping it a long time or thinking of selling?

Yeah, transmission needs rebuilt. That is what happened to mine. 5 grand to remove,rebuild and re install. Lifetime warranty as long as we own it. We was 8 miles from campground on a 4th of July weekend.

How come nothing ever happens while you are home? 5 grand wasn't too bad of a price.

OP...keep us updated on what you find. Doesn't sound good.
