Hello! i have a 90 F25 5.8, 5 speed with no power in 4th or 5th gear

I have replaced both fuel pumps as well as filter. but still no power at high gears and speed, I can't get it to 50mph in 4th let alone 5th..... however i can squeal tires in 1st, 2nd and third. i don't understand. i do mud race this truck and the last time i blew the alternator, replaced it as well as the starter but still no power in high gears. before we replaced the pumps the front one was only measureing 30bls of output which told my mech that it was the pumps but nothing has changed. please any suggestion would be helpful.

SOURCE: Engine is missing when in 4th-5th gear

try having the fuel filter changed first and have the timing checked and I don't know how many miles on the truck but check low or uneven cylinder compression pressure remove spark plugs and test the compression with a gauge but before doing all this it could be a weak or faulty ignition system

SOURCE: 1990 f150 wont shift from 1st to 2nd

Well where to start. First of all you listed that the transmission won't shift from 1st to 2nd gear. This could be any number of things from internal oil leaks, bad sensors, valves, clutches and so on and so on. The problem is there is no way of telling you this is the problem or that is the problem with out performing tests such as taking pressure readings, stall tests and so on. Then we get to your description, having gears slam can also be caused by all the items listed above with the first issue. Losing all gears completely (I assume drive, overdrive, reverse, etc.) leads me to believe you have a major internal leak (assuming there isn't oil pouring onto the ground), a issue with the transmission pump or torque converter. Again there isn't anything you can do without taking pressure readings. And even with those readings you won't really know what your looking for without a complete understanding of how a automatic transmission works. Sorry I couldn't give you a straight forward easy answer. I would recommend taking your truck (assuming it will drive) to a shop that specializes in transmissions. I recommend a transmission shop because to me dealership labor rates are to high, and secondly I wouldn't take it to a general independent shop because you don't know if it will be an experienced transmission technician working on it or a "grease monkey" who will sell you things it dosen't need because he's just guessing what wrong with it.

SOURCE: my ford focus tdi 2003 cant select 1st,3rd or 5th gears.

Car is in limp in mode unless you have the tools to work on automatic transmission you will need to take it to a transmission shop. Of course you can check oil level but I suspect you have other issues.

SOURCE: Loud clicking noise coming from

sounds like the rockers or lifters have some play due to wear.you don`t say what rpm you are shifting at other than high rpm.by changing the oil you have increased the viscosity of the oil as its new and not dirty and thin and cold oil is thicker than warm oil.you might want to try a heavier oil to see if it helps.you may not get this noise out unless you replace components or adjustment of rockers if they are adjustable.if its not very bad you may have to live with it.

Lack of power in 5th and 6th gear at cruising speed, have to downshift and go through gears to obtain higher speed

4th and 5th gears are for use over 45 and 55mph respectively as they are both Overdrive Gears.

If you are above these speeds in these gears when the issue occurs I would suspect Tune-up issues, fuel/air delivery problems, or a drastic change in tire/ wheel size on the vehicle.

Last tune up was?
Air Filter?
Fuel filter?
Checked fuel pressure and volume?

Have a 90 ford f250, have power in 1st, 2nd and well 3rd gears but in 4th & 5th can't get it to 50mph.

Timing needs to be checked. If your engine has a distruber, check to make sure its tight.
