Then when driving in the city my Over Drive O/D light starts to flash and I loose alot of momentum at a traffic light trying to gain speed, as if the over drive was off, at this time there will still be the shifting problem.
Ford Dealership wants 150 bucks to run any "codes" and I have changed the fluid in the pan but NOT drained the complete 10 quarts.
Truck only has 128k miles and this problem just started a few months ago...please let it be a cheep sensior...SOME ONE HELP !!!

Welcome on your first post on AF.
Proper check on fluid level first.
What transmision and what kind of fluid did you feed it?
Did the problem start before or after fluid change?
We can not help much untill you get the codes checked.
A good repair shop may read codes cheaper.
Check around Ask around
Word of mouth.
Family friends coworkers neighbors business people and delivery people.
Mailmen and parcel delivery people get around and notice a lot of stuff.
Even a good parts house knows what shops are good and not good.
Chamber of commerce and better business bureau and city hall.
If you find a good referral to a repair shop go look them over and talk to them.
Look for a clean looking busy place with nice people running it.
Ask a few questions and ask about their qualifications and training.
Not all places have trained tech/mechanics.
If they do not find a place that does.
Even all dealers do not have all trained techs/mechanics.
Post back code no.
