what do you mean here? It only inches forward at first under throttle? If it wont go into forward gears it's most likely the clutch packs, if it wont shift out of 1st in 2nd (or it's an overly long shift) or out of 2nd into 3rd (or it's an overly long shift) it's the accumulator housing and piston due to extended wear from the accumulator piston being metal instead of plastic/rubber like it should. If it wont go into 4th then it's a o/d clutch band problem, or the servo gear.but when in a forward gear (1-2-D- D+OD) it will proceed to inch forward, as it builds up inertia, it will begin to accelerate.
It's the AODE model "and" 4R70W since it's the electronic form of the AOD (hence AOD-Electronic), yet still a lil different.

Does it "shimmy" under higher gear/low rpm acceleration?
To answer the previous question up above, the tranny was just serviced. I had shift issues with it (not shifting, hard shifting, dropping shifts, etc). It had a filter kit in and new fluid.
What it does is that when you're in 1st, 2nd, or Drive (with or without OD engaged), it will just inch forward with throttle on for about 10seconds until it builds up enough inertia to go a little bit faster.

Did they use Mercon V which is what I believe the 99+ trannies use?
If they used stuff that says Mercon/Dexron then you are screwed because they used the wrong fluid.
No one puts the Mercon V in unless you ask/pay them to. It can/should go into all 4R70W's and 4R75W's as it prevents some heat break down and torque converter shudder symptoms. I put in Mobil 1 synthetic and it's damn expensive filling up a bare tranny with that stuff, worth every dollar tho.
You're right, i know - ford recommend the V formula to prevent the aforementioned problems because it's synthetic, which can handle the heat. But few shops will just put it in there as a default - since in the owners manual it says III cuz V hadn't come out yet. So they will put in whatever is cheaper w/out asking you.I may be wrong but I believe Castrol Mercon V is the only after market brand certified by Ford for Ford's that require Mercon V.

Scroll down and read the labels CAREFULLY.
One is for the older fluid and one is for the newest version.
Make sure you read the one for the newer version.
I could be wrong on this one though but anytime I see Dexron/Mercon on the same label I wonder.
