Hello again.

First, punctuation and grammar are your friends. Many helpful people will quit reading your thread half way through and skip your posts if they can't understand what you are saying. Not trying to be a jerk here, just saying that one huge continuous run-on sentence is very hard to read.

Second, I will move you to the correct spot. For future reference:

What was it doing before?

 

The truck drove good but it just stopped driving one day like it was in neutral and the reverse made a loud noise like low on fluid and fuild was normal level. But when trans was cold drove fine as soon as trans got warm nothing couldn't drive forward or reverse now that I replaced the spring and solenoids it only goes in 2nd and reverse

 

Any metal shavings in the pan? Sludge? Other stuff that shouldn't be there? How many miles on it? Do you tow/haul with it? (being a farm truck, I am guessing "yes" on that.....)

Might just be time for a rebuild.....

You can try disconnecting the 8 pin connector on the trans, and manually shifting it, see how that turns out.

 

There is only 20,000 on trans it is a rebuild and there was a lot of metal shaving in pan but when I cleaned valve body inside and out no metal shavings in there and I'll try with the connector when I get home

 

Nope don't tow but haul about 3/4 ton of feed twice a month that's about it for heavy hauling

 

Tranny have a warranty?
Metal shavings are probably
in the TC too, not a good thing!

 

I would check with your rebuilder, (as mentioned above) and see about a warranty..... It should last longer than 20K miles, and yes indeed, metal shavings are a really bad sign.

 

If you go the route of warranty work. DO NOT tell them you pulled the pan or valve body,
or you can kiss your warranty goodbye.
