The hard shifting doesn't sound good.sorry bud it sounds like your trans is going out to pasture.

 

my 97 psd did that for a while. it ended up lasting for like six months until it got to the point where it was just crazy hard shifting from 1st to 2nd. i think i did a wheelie a couple of times. took it in and the trans shop was surprised the truck even drove when they tore it down. they did an awesome job and it made me love my truck again.

 

i wouldnt be to sure about that just had that problem happen to my truck all it is the torque converter sliped and your computer picked up a code it shifts hard going from 1st to 2nd i cleared the codes and the problem cleared right up dont jump straight to conclusions might of just saved you $1300 easy look up code 62 for e4od tranmisions here is a link http://www.transmissioncenter.net/e4od.htm

 

Thank God you came along! I was telling my friends to automatically replace their tranny if that light ever came on! We have all taken up a collection to try and compensate you for your heroic intervention! Where should I send the check?

By the way, You will be saving yourself $1300 more and more frequently.

 

all i need to do is buy a new torrque converter and update the oil pump (code 62) and your good to go i think all its going to cost me is around $400 i was all depresed thinking it was going to have to be a $2000 fix but now its alot lower

 

Code 62 was used on 1994 and earlier electronic engine controls 4 trucks. All gas & non Powerstroke diesels used EEC-4. All Powerstroke diesels with automatics have EEC 5--no code 62. The torque converter can cause the problem, but the code 62 package was made for 94 and earlier e4ods with early design converters.

This can mean a million different things, some small and some very big smallest being just a bad sensor or the biggest being a trans but most common Is just your torque converter is wore out, or your oil needs to be changed. You won't know unless you take it to a ford dealer or big time diesel shop, it also can even be a miss firing piston. Also the gear slamming into gear isn't bad it is limp mode it's support to do that so that you will notice there is a problem. If you drive why this limp mode is ingaged you will burn you trans up very quick. Matter of hours. You can disconnect your battiery cables and reset your CSM and it will go away temporally make sure you let it reset for 5 mins no longer or less. Also turn any chip to stock.

 

Don't pull the battery cables, much easier to pull the PCM fuse.


Mine's done it twice (TC slip code) on freeway trips while running the cruise. Not sure why, but as long as I don't use cruise it won't throw a code. Flush the fluid, drop the pan and clean the magnet. And hope it doesn't come back.

 

So how would you suggest I fix this problem completely, I have ts chip and it set it off the day of and after twice a day. Transmisson run perfect but as soon as that light comes on it slams into gear. Could it just be a sensor of some kind?
