- What's the worst that could happen?
My son-in-law bought a 2000 F350 at an auction, It has a V8 Triton, 4x4, automatic trans. I had the pleasure of driving it home . The shift linkage was for sh*t, detents on the column were barely there: P, R, N, D, 2, 1.
Manually going thru the gears, 1 worked solid. Shifting up to 2 it would stumble on acceleration. If I backed off a little it would catch and accelerate with no issues. Shifting up into D was like going into neutral. Trans fluid was good and not burned or smelly.
I know we have to tighten up the linkage to make sure it is connected properly, but I was wondering if this particular trans has any sort reputation.
Any thoughts at all are appreciated. He's a Dodge Ram guy so he needs help
Thanks,
R
