trans started slipping yesterday. i took one of the cooler lines off and the there is no metal pieces in the fluid but the fluid is not a nice red color. it does not smell burnt yet but it is not red. my question is what else becides a tc can cause the trans to start slipping and question 2 can i just replace the tc and call it a day. im on a low budget and can not afford to buy a new trans.

update i just pulled the pan there are what look like to be little black pieces inside the trans and there is mettal around the magnet. what is the best thing to do. should i just try to rebuild it my self or get a ford reman?

and the trans is the original. according to the tag on the side of the trans. i dont know if it has been rebuilt or not. the truck now has 265,000

Have the trans rebuilt. If you have never rebuilt one before i would put money on it . You will screw it up. Besides. having a repuptible shop do it gives you a warranty:thumbsup:
