96 PSD Trans ?
hello everyone about three weeks ago i bought a 96 PSD extended cab long bed with 150k on it and has had the trans rebuilt about 7 months ago from my brother in law for 5 grand, its auto and it shifts really wierd and really hard...the truck is stock other than the exhaust i just put on it, it changes gear way to early sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. when the truck is cold and with decent throttle it shifts smooth.sometimes when in 2nd gear and shifting to 3rd the rpms drop about 400 and then it shifts. my overdrive light works fine...can anyone help me out and tell me whats wrong with it if anything as i'm new to powerstrokes only have had a 6.9 idi and have a 12 valve. thanks to all that reply.

do you have any engine codes? speedo working? i took mine to ford and they said it was a p0500 code,(speed sensor) but i changed it and it still does it. havent had time or cash to dig in deeper into it because the turbo went out. hope you find the problem. if you do let me know. check the wiring to the vss the vss is located on top of the rear def. i was told to take the connector off and shoot wd40 into it but i replaced the sensor(25$) at ford

Ok the weird thing is I was pulling a car hauler with a 66 chevelle in it tonight and the truck shifts normal none of the weird stuff it's been doing....it still shifts hard which is fine with me but I found it kinda weird that it shifts normal while hauling a good amount of weight....now I'm even more confused but I have to say I'm impressed with how well the truck did for being stock my chip will be here tomorrow
