2000 7.3 transmission issue
OK I am going to try and describe this issue to the best of my knowledge ( which isn't much ) and to the best of my ability. My truck is a 2000 7.3 XLT, It started up fine this morning, went to the store, and over to another store. It drove fine as it always does. Got back in the truck ( which is an automatic btw ) It started just fine, and when i hit the "go" pedal the engine had high rpms but no go.. so being not far from home I limped it home.. When I got home it would not "click" into D 1 2, reverse works just fine it has all the power it normally does. It will "click" into 1 but acts like it has no real power in the gear..
I checked the trans fluid and its red not burnt or discolored in anyway. I stuck my head under the dash thinking it was a cable or something.. nope not that either..
I am out of ideas.. any help would be amazing .. thanks

I had a similar problem few weeks ago.. i rolled up to the stop light and went to hit the gas and wouldnt go. i threw it up in park shut it off and started it up and threw it back down in drive and went about 15 ft and it just wouldnt go again.. acted as it was starving for fluid and was free spinning.. so had to get it towed back to the house. The fluid seemed fine in mine too but from past experiences i know now to change the filter out before i do anything else. Lucky for me the filter had trash in it and solved my problem. Its a very simple process if youve never done it before. just drain the fluid out, drop the pan, change filters, bolt the pan back up, then fill her up with fluid. Hope this helps.

I had the exact same issue as jrsherherd yesterday with my 2000 F350. 126k miles, no problems with slipping, shifting, etc before this. Just happened from a stop...felt like something was spinning but not catching (when it first happened, I thought I had slipped on some ice.) I limped to a parking spot and towed to the dealership...waiting for them to take a look on Monday.

20 quarts is for full flush. I think it might be 6 quarts that the pan holds but if you buy at auto zone or somewhere like that just ask them to be sure. all together with the filter and fluid shouldnt be no more than $60. and IF it does fix your problem then id wait a could weeks and change the fluid again to try and get the rest of the bad fluid out.

I just changed my filter and 6 quarts of fluid no change.. reverse is strong like always.. no D 2 1 ... nothing at all..
when i dropped the pan, there was about a copenhagen cans worth of metal shavings stuck to the magnet.. i assume the bands are burnt out of it..

Right at the holidays.. i just dropped ...I dont even know how much.. new brakes front and back new shocks front and back and new tires all the way around.. and new steering stabilizer .. and now poof the trans is trash..
i still wouldn't drive anything but a powerstroke .. 7.3
