so hey guys i been wantin a truck and a diesel for a while now i ended up gettin a 1994 7.3 idi with a factory turbo extend cab long bed 2wd auto ...so i was wondering im having a problem with the trans when it shifts from 1st to 2nd it shifts hard and sounds like a pop sound but if u give it power when it goes to shift its not bad ? and also when i go to start after the wts light goes off i turn the key and it clicks then stops and after about the 4th time ( after the wts light ) it will fire up it has new batterys? the truck runs up and down the road like a champ any help i would be thank full for oh it also has 180k miles

 

Change out the injector return line fittings and orings, thing you have an air leak

 

the shifting ... I would look at your drive shaft ... chock tires put in N and start trying to find loose u -joints or bad slack @ pinion ....

 

Made no sense with my post

--------------------

Have you checked the transmission fluid, just a good place to start, along with the u-joints

 

So where the lines go to the fittings are leaking some would that be causing the starting problem what happens is I turn the key to WTS light then it goes off and then I hear either 4 or 5 clicks then that stops then I try to start and nothing I repeat process about 4 or 5 times it cranks idles rough for about 7 secs than it's good .. And how would I check for a bad pinion or slack or u joints ?

As I meen by nothing when I go to crank I meen nothing no noise it like it goes dead but it has 2 new batteries and lights are stroung

 

Oh, okay I would check the grounds, and clean off the starter

 

Ok so I found out the starter selinod was bad problem solved had a fuel leak in the injector lines on top of the motor rough start and weird idle is gone .. Still trying to figure out the tranny u joints look nice and tight driveshaft is good ..how would I kno if it has a shift kit in it ?

 

Typically the shift real firm and real snappy .. not a bad thing either ... slow and lazy wears out the clutches and bands faster .. not good for performance or towing ..

 

Ty 4x4 .. Any1 kno where I can get the tow mirrors ford made for these trucks on the obs I love that style

 

yeah ... just remember these auto's in the ford .. regular maintence will save you some real problems ... and if it starts messing up ... take it in right away .. they are a bit problematic but if you jump on it asap ... it might save ya a bunch..
