1988 ford 5.0 AOD transmission problem
I’ve had an issue today and only today, since I fixed my pan I went on a 30 minute drive to my cousins to help put in headlights then after I had left his house then it struggled to go into gears and when I went to a stop It wouldn’t shift out of 4th. Then I got on the highway and got back up to speed, but I lost 4th, then 3rd, then 2nd. I only had first. I reverse slammed jt a few times then slammed hard on the last 2. Still stuck in first and it won’t go up in gear. I even held jt at full throttle. Still nothing
When I first bought the truck I replaced the transmission fluid and used rtv to reseal the pan to the transmission, but I had a nonstop leak with it and I have fought this for a while now but I fixed the problem thru this forum by checking for warps and crowning then used a cork gasket to fix the problem, which it did.
But I’ve had an issue where on cold weathers it would not move while in gear. But after a minute or two after it would grab gear and roll on, but losses jt again after. But a few days ago I checked the fluid in it and instead of bright red it was black with metal shavings.. it hasn’t been touched since I posted this thread. I Parked it at a safe place and got picked up. Is the transmission done? Or can it be saved with a rebuild?

I just got the truck back from the shop sorry for the long wait, I ran into some personal issues getting the truck into the shop. But they rebuilt the transmission and left a note on the receipt saying what went out, drum stripped, forward clutches burnt, and a broke band.
