2013 f150 v8 auto. 95000 miles Drove it 5 days ago, been parked in the garage since. Went to get it out and when I put it in reverse it didn’t move right away. No big deal it’s happened before but usually after it sits longer. I leave it in reverse and let it idle. Still nothing. So I slowly start…

Have you checked the tranny fluid level? Tester

The dipstick for this is a bear to get to. It can be reached only from under the truck. If you have had any leaks, you may be low on fluid. If you have had none, might be a sticky trans solenoid.

I’ve been under it alot recently, no leaks on anything Ive changed fluids in both differentials, transfer case and coolant in the la…

Follow up info…backed out if garage today and everything worked as it should. Hopefully a 1 time hiccup

I still think you need to make absolutely sure the fluid level is where it should be rather than risk this being a one time hiccup. Maybe the fluid was not topped off several years ago. With age and miles the existing fluid degrades a bit faster and combined with the potential of low fluid level co…

Sounds like a project for tommorow. Gonna rain anyway

Stopped and bought some welding gloves on the way home tonight. Figured since the trans had driven a hundred miles it would be easiest to check when I got home. Full of fluid if not just a hair over. Gloves takes away dexterity in the tight spot but needle nose pliers help with getting the stick i…
