When hot outside, shifting into 4th and 5th gear it will lose power when i press on the gas and try to stall out.
I understand what you are describing, but keep in mind it is almost impossible to have an actual vapor lock on a fuel injected vehicle.
Vapor lock is when the gasoline in the fuel line turns to vapor before it gets to the engine.
I am assuming your Ford is newer than 1982 and has fuel injectors.
In your case it could be a vac leak or something making the fuel mixture too lean. A problem with the EGR valve or other component could cause the issue.
Is the check engine light on ?

They had a problem with this plastic washer that is in the shifter tower it sits just under the shifter it self and gets worn out and causes this to happen- hope that helps.

Yup...very likely plugged exhaust or restricted fuel filter or weak fuel pump. Put a fuel pressure gauge on it and reproduce the problem...make sure pressure doesnt drop below 35-40 psi. If pressure is good loosen exhaust in front of the cat converter and go for another drive (noisy) see if the power comes back. Cats are more likely to plug up than mufflers

Most likely the o-ring seal between the torque converter and the transmission is going bad. Get that transmission rebuilt pronto before serious damage is done! But first, have a mechanic drop the transmission pan and look for signs of a very thin silvery film coating the inside of the pan. If found, then the transmission definitely will have to be rebuilt, and the torque converter will also have to be replaced since embedded metallic particles in the old torque converter will eventually come loose, due to wear of the clutch plates within the torque converter, and eat up the rebuilt transmission. Now, here is the deal once the transmission has been rebuilt:
Change the transmission fluid and filter once a year -- no matter what! If you do this, then you should never have any more problems with the transmission.
