HELP PLEASE NO REVERSE AND WONT SHIFT PAST 2ND!

[J'sF-250]

I go to put my truck in reverse and it just revs up as if it was in neutral... and it wont shift past 2nd gear. Also my overdrive light on the end of the shift lever was flashing. I turned off the truck and back on multiple times but nothing changed but the light stopped flashing. Ive got the battery disconnected to see what happens when i reconnect it... any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could be wrong since I have a 6 speed but it sounds like your tranny is in limp mode. Try disconnecting the batteries for like 15 min and try it again.

did this happen to you as well? after i unplugged both batteries for about 30 min and started her up its been fine ever since kinda weird? i checked the fluid level looks good and its a clean/clear redish color. my temps have been normal also...? my bud has a code reader going to plug it in tomorrow and see if anything pops up if not off to ford fleet service i guess

Not gonna lie, thats not good. That JUST happened to me this past weekend. On saturday wouldnt shift out of first till i rev it out then let it drop till 1000 rpm then it would shift. next day got worse then monday moring it blew up. 99% sure shes gone

So Im swapping in a zf6 as we speak

Oh and everytime I cleared the codes it worked fine for a couple minutes, then it blew up. Torque converter basically disintegrated

Well that's just great... : / I'll see what happens I guess. Is the zf6 a ford tranny or aftermarket? I don't know much about the tranny in my truck or at all for that matter I just know the fords have weak torque converters right?
