I have owned 4 Fords with this transmission and have had major problems with 3 of them.
I bought a 2000 F250 SuperDuty with 110K miles on it - an old man's truck that had never been used as a truck. It had neither a reciever hitch or a gooseneck hitch (I installed both) and looked like it had never carried anything in the bed. Changed the fluids (trans, axles, transfer case, coolant) and we used it (V10) on the same loads we were using a 1992 F250 with a 351W ZF5 - only much fewer because I wouldn't allow son to drive my truck. At 125K miles the transmission is slow to go into reverse and shifts weird - slow to shift up and sometimes refusing to shift into overdrive while going down the road. Transmission shop says a clutch is hanging up and the torque converter is giving an error code about not locking up. No reading but they assumed it had low pump pressure for the slow shifts. They said fixing it right would mean an overhaul.
Anyone else had this poor of luck with these transmissions? I know they are all old trucks but the 2000 SD appeared well maintained and when I changed the fluids I could tell transmission and transfer case had been serviced in the past. I've owned F150s with the C6 and the AODE transmissions that were beat senseless but usually the transmissions were fine. As for a matter fact these F250s are the only transmission issues I've ever had - besides a Dodge Stratus that failed at 20K.
I plan on replacing this one myself - the truck doesn't see enough use to justify the $4200 the transmission shop wants to replace it.
Anyone know of a decent supplier - a supplier to definately stay away from?

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
