have to let off the gas for trans to shift

sometimes the O/D light flashes but can be reset by turning off and restarting.

at highway speeds runs fine
 






Hey what engine do you ahve in your 96? How many miles.

the flashing OD light means there is a code in memory, your best bet would be to start by pulling this code.

Search on this site and you can find how to pull the transmission code
 






Hi, This happened to my auto last winter. It would only shift if I let off the gas a little while driving and the O/D light flashed. It was quite expensive as I don't know how to work on a transmission myself. I was told I needed to have the bands replaced and a new torqure converter. It ended up being 1300 big ones. I took it to Ford first and they said it would cost 3100, what a joke those guys are.
