the transmission feels like it slipping in 1st gear when starting off it slips just a little bit at first then no problem after that all of the other gears work fine the truck has 160,000 miles on it. 5.4 triton 3 valve motor.

Check the transmission fluid if you haven’t lately. If you’re lucky a fluid change might be all it needs for now. When was the last time the fluid was changed?
