Ford transmission question.
I think I should have my transmission checked out but thought I'd check here and on the Ford forum. My 2001 F250 5.4 3.73 rear shifted really smooth. I loved driving that truck. The new 2001 F350 6.8 ...

2001 is 4-speed?
Those transmissions are computer-controlled and should shift smoothly.
One of Ford Truck forums should have plenty answers to your question.
Not true. Computer controlled doesn't mean the trans cannot shift firmer. He is the third owner....it could have tuned at one point in its life. In fact, if it was a tow rig only, it is more likely as most try to get more power, better trans pressure, firmer shifts...ect.
See here.
If it doesn't feel right and bangs gears...have a shop check it. My coworker lost his transmission in his dodge ram. He pulls a 38 ft 5er and told the shop to build it so it won't fail. He was shocked at how hard it would shift pulling his trailer...but the shop told him it won't fail again and can handle 800 horsepower now. He was happy after got used to the new torque converter lockup and firm shifts.
