Hey guys! Yesterday while driving my F150 it would try to shift into 3rd but it would just run like it was in neutral. I took it to 2 transmission shops that quoted me $2450 to fix, at which point I was about ready to trade the thing in. Lucky for me (and normally I would consider this lucky) I was near a Ford dealer and they told me that I need to replace my snap ring and servo, and that I could do it myself very easy. So, for people who have done this, how hard is it? Also, is the servo and the solenoid the same thing? And should I change the transmission fluid and filter at the same time? Thanks!
Have to replace snap ring/servo on the F150.....

Also, could someone tell me what transmission my truck has? 2004 F150 4.6L V8. TIA!

Should have the 4R70W IIRC. Is this the new or "Heritage" body style?

OK, should still be that transmission. Apparently the issue you are having is somewhat common and that the snap-ring fix indeed usually rectifies it.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I have a colleague with the Heritage style and his is also a 4R70W.

You might want to check that your truck doesn't have the 4R75W transmission, as that is what my 04 new body F-150 has. Though I have the 5.4 3V, so it might be a different transmission with the 4.6.
