Some Ford F-250 Super Duty owners report experiencing transmission issues, particularly after an impact, which can lead to difficulties in shifting into 4th or 5th gear. These problems may stem from damage to transmission components caused by the impact, resulting in improper shifting. Additionally, misaligned throttle position sensors post-impact can affect the transmission's shifting capabilities. Malfunctioning shift solenoids, crucial for gear changes, may also contribute to these issues. To diagnose the cause of the transmission failure, owners are advised to check the transmission fluid level and condition, inspect for visible damage, and consult a qualified mechanic or Ford dealership for a thorough inspection. Addressing these transmission issues promptly is essential to prevent further damage and ensure the safe operation of the vehicle.
