Hi y'all, I have a 2000 F-350 (CABT Excursion conversion, love it) and sometimes I can't really shift it into Drive. It shifts into D without problem, but it's not engaged and if I press down on the accelerator, it just revs. Sometimes I shift it into 2 or 1 and then wiggle it into D. Is this a transmission linkage issue or something worse? The transmission seems to stay in the correct gear once it finally gets into place.

Thanks!

Could be linkage, but to me it sounds like your tranny is slipping or even worse, toast.

Thanks Shaggy! Yikes.. it doesn't slip out of gear while driving. Perhaps I should take it out to one of the bullet-proofing guys. (I'm in Central Texas).

Yeah, I wonder if they could diagnose it without tearing apart.

That'd be great... How can I diagnose it? If it's hard to get into drive but doesn't slip out, would it still be toast?
