I have a 2002 v6 auto just put a 2001 trans in it and having exact same problem, I was just told it's wrong transmission no figure. Said 2002 to 2004 same, emissions and speed sencor control is different so that's what's making speedo read crazy and rev limit also stays in drive unless i pull it down an shift. What a mess this has turn into bud. May be able to switch computer from the 04 but will either have to send it to dealer to have anti theft reset so it programs cluster,speed sencor, and key to your car hope you have more luck then me. If you can help me in anyway be much appreciated as well thanks

I have the same problem the only thing I did was unplug the speed sensor in the transmission and it runs and drive great and shifts a little funny. The transmission shop told me it’s amazing that it’s shifting gears with out the speed sensor plugged in. So I’ve kept on changing the speed sensor and it dose the same thing like y’all say it won’t go over 20. So I just kept it unplugged until I can take it to the ford dealership and let them handle it. I’ve also been told that the computer needs to be reprogrammed but I’m not sure honestly. If y’all have any suggestions to help me out I would really appreciate it.
