So I'm just not gonna drive it till I can take it to the tranny shop toward the end of the week and have them look it over. This is stressing me out.

I would not trust a torqshift transmission at a "tranny shop". I doubt advanced even has the diagnosis equipment to read tranny codes off of these computers. A reputable tranny shop may have the right scanners, because there is definitely a code. If you can afford it, just take it to a dealer you trust. good luck to you man.

Yeah I'm not gonna trust them either after I talked to them today. The guy said he hadn't worked on those trannys before. I'm gonna call the dealer I bought the truck from and have them look at it. I know it was odd that Advance didn't pick up any codes.

If it is a sensor causing this I'd put it in myself. I'd say it's probably a Ford only piece. If thats what its called I see tomorrow how much one is.

I doubt a sensor would be causing hard clunky shifts

It's a bad trans temp sensor in the trans. Very common problem. Any independent trans shop can service the trans and replace the sensor at the same time. Depending on your location, around $150 to $250.

Thanks for you the response.

Yep, thats what it turned out to be. I took it to Ford today. The yran the tests on the truck and said the sensor was actually reading "below zero" in their words. They said that was the first they had seen.

Oh. I took my truck to west coast diesel performance. They found that it was a bad sensor in the tranny. It cost me 800 bucks! They also did a transmission service on it too.
