sounds like you need a trany rebuild you more then likely will find that some of the gears in the trany are striped or missing teeth it being of a 90's version means there is less electronics to take care or the shifting. so i think its time to hit the wreckers or pay out 1500 for a rebuild. i am not a ford person but thats what it sounds like to me
