tranny trouble???

[thesmokinstroke02]

hey guys. i hve a 02 ford f350 7.3 auto with a bully dog power pup and intake. lately it has been having weird shifts and sometimes it waits really long to shift then just doesnt shift right or it takes a long time to shift. any ideas of what it could be? i could really use some input on this.

sounds like your tranny is taking a crap for sure. thats exactly how my tranny started to go in my old 7.3
how many miles on your truck? mine started going around 100k

[thesmokinstroke02]

i got 118k. is there anything i can do to try and stop it in its tracks? cant really afford to replace one and its my transportation to school every day

[jamstoyz]

probably not bud. maybe take the chip off and run it stock for a while. might buy ya a lil time. other than that and if it is the tranny goin then its pretty much shot. i believe remanufactured ones run about $1600 to $1800 installed.

if it does end up being done for ill probably just try and put a 6spd in it. i know its alot of work but i think itd pay off in the end haha

Sorry to here about the trouble man, but if you can do it the 6 spd's are awesome

[thesmokinstroke02]

yeah thats what im deffinently thinking. how hard are they to swap in??

[elbo989]

I've never personally swapped one my truck came manual but you'd need the tranny, clutch, new steering column, etc. definitely would be sik though heres a bump

[thesmokinstroke02]

haha yeahh. if i did it id probably just try and find a p.o.s. or a rollover that is undriveable but still runs and just rip the tranny and all the clutch and that stuff out of it and put it in mine. then just get a better clutch probably and take it from there
