Lost Reverse and all Forward Gears

[bfrd22]

Now I have the motor working right, now the transmission is giving me issues.
This will be a continuation, of this.
major poblem, blowing heavy smoke and oil

Back ground, had recent back luck with injectors and fuel system. Believe from Contaminated fuel.

Part of this was a lot of bucking from the engine due to running on only 6 injectors, Lots of motor bounce and vibration going down the highway.

Transmission kicked out on me once and left me stranded, tow to dealer, Truck started the next morning, and the drove it into the shop, 2 injectors gone. No problem I can do that myself, Drove the truck off the yard. under powered yes but running.

Decided to Drive home and change the injectors, Ran rough going there and ran about the same heading back, Went about 80km traveling with tow haul on and below 100 kph to keep out of overdrive, but could not avoid it all together, thing bucked and bounced like nuts in OD.

Notice trans temp climbed to 207, engine temp avg was 196, Slowed truck down to 60 kph and temp quickly dropped to 160, picked up the pace again and trans temp stay around 170. Then for a stretch It kept trying to stay in OD, bucking like crazy, temp hit 240, (no change on engine temps), tried slowing, down (long week end highway rush hour not good), could only get down to 232, then quickly back up it went.

Looking for a turnout to let it cool, but she kicked out, coasted to side of road, engine still running, no trans, went thru all gears, nothing, Allowed to cool down, got to 190 and put truck in gear, nothing, any gear, Rev'd up engine to 3000rmp and truck started to roll forward, 3ft, tow haul flashing,

So shut of engine, no restart, sat on highway for 3 hrs figure once below 140 all should be good, nope.

Called tow, got it home, replaced injectors, running better than it has for along time. You could actually stand next to the engine and have a conversation with out yelling. Allowed the truck to run for a while and do it's turbo relearn, all good.

Went to put in gear, nothing, had to rev the heck out of it for just a little movement, no codes. Really no Codes.

Tried again this morning nothing, I can hear a whirring when I select a gear, and the engine will bump up like 100 rmp as if to take the load from the transmission, will do this going to a forward or reverse gear.

Trans was serviced 3 months ago, at Ford, Oil nice and pink and smells like turpentine, so good there. Levels good.

And I have search every where, not able to find an answer. Trans has always been strong up till now.

Could the bouncing and bucking from the transmission, have shaken loose the pick up filter in the pan? causing all my issues?

Looking for idea's folks.

Thanks Andy

Pulled the pan, magnet covered in a fine black slime, also alum filings in pan, more than I would have expected to see. I'm guessing this is bad. Not a trans guy.

trashed the torque converter?

Black slime normal, aluminum in pan is not. Gotta get codes read. Id start looking for a new trans.jmo.

I'm guessing also, I pulled the inspection plug at the front of the TC and it was dry in there.

So looking a little further I dropped the filter, top of filter covered with metal filings, here are some pics, Transmission is done, Have to save up for another one, engine issues wiped me out.

Good thing I have a nice reliable 24 yr old Trans Am that's dying to be driven more.

So finally got a used Trans out of a 09 F350 6.4 for a decent price, and they gave me a 6.0 tc for it.

I can hardly wait to get it installed.

Any tricks I should know b4 I learn the hard way?

[bfrd22]

Sorry meant to update, the 09 6.4 Transmission went in perfectly and the truck accepted it. Running great again.

Any one need a 6.4 torque converter?

So it's been several months now....hows the old girl doing? You've been through the ringer with it. Hoping it's smooth sailing for you now.

Well... Truck has been great up until last weekend. Think I dropped 2 injectors again. Have it booked into the stealership this morning for a diagnostic.
Some day I will have to trade it out. But I like the truck.
It's like battered wife syndrome.
