My son's E350 Ford Van had a transmission problem. The van would shift if he manually placed it in first, 2nd, then over drive however when he put it in D it would not shift out of first gear. A transmission shop told him his trans was bad so he got a used transmission from a scrap yard and swapped it out. The newly installed transmission will not shift out of first gear and will not allow him to manually shift either. The OD light has been flashing since the first transmission. The transmissions are 4R100E's. Is it possible the first transmission was OK and what could the problem be???
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2001 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Could it be the wrecking yard transmission is also bad. Take it to another transmission shop and explain what is going on with both and get a second opinion.
