96 f350 Problem shifting from 1st to 2nd

[nitroxgod]

My truck has 198k miles on it and recently it has decided that it won't shift from 1st to 2nd unless you let off on the throttle for a moment then it shifts fine. The shift from 2nd to 3rd is fine. I just replaced the filter/fluid and no change. Any ideas?

check trans cooler to see if it is pluged and if not u probly need new clutches just rebuilt mine for the same thing but trans cooler got pluged after and burned up the new tranny so make sure u clean the trans cooler

had a similar problem w/ my 96er years ago, ended up being that my fuel pump was going out. suggest checking your fuel system.

NITROXGOD.....did you ever get this problem resolved? I have a 96 doing the same thing from 2nd to 3rd.

I got a ZF5 and don't know much about the autos but keep bumping this thread. I'm gonna post a link to this thread in OBS chat so one the gurus can help you fellas out.

I would agree from above. something internal might be out or going out. Might even be a rebuild is comming up.

no i never did figer it out because every time i get close something breaks i would suggest upgradeing to a 4r100 trans instead of the e4od because if u get one out of a diesel it will bolt up or just upgrade i put almost ever performance trans part in mine and it still breaks ATS and suncoast are good
