No codes but the 1270. All fuses good. Checked all connections. If the vehicle speed sensor is in the transverse case like I understand I unhooked it speedometer still works but still way off. Why I do not know?

Well it is off from the wheel spinning at one point try erasing the code if you have not already and see if it cures it. That is the only thing I can think of at the moment. What has happened is the speedometer has come out of calibration. The transmission thing may be a bad transmission as it is used.

It is probably in limp mode is why it is sticking in second. Scan for codes first or have a transmission shop scan it. See link.

Has the check engine light come on? Have you refilled the ATF? There is a trans control module, but I want to eliminate the easier things first. Let me know.

My ford expedition has gradually stopped shifting into 4th gear over the past 3 month. Lower gears shift smoothly with no noise. I have tried changing the transmission fluid and filter with no change of this malfunction.

Get a scan done to see if there are any trouble codes.

Are you able to toggle the O/D switch on and off?

If the trans is not upshifting, it most probably is a control solenoid switch. If it flares when shifting into OD, then it would more likely to be pressure leakages or a failed clutch.

Is the check engine light on? If so please get the codes scanned free of charge at your local parts store and report back the codes!

If it is a hyraulic issue, it will not code. It could be valve body or a bad seal in a clutch pack.
