trans?
I swear these problems only happen to me. I start my car from a cold start and let it warm up. When i put into drive to go on my way to school, it didnt wanna leave first gear. I drove it around the block and then pulled over and put it in neutral than back into drive and it seems ok. I know im over due for a transmission flush big time, but is that related? Since it hasnt been done in who knows how long is the fluid starting to thicken up?

You can try a fluid and filter exchange to see if it helps but sounds like the 1-2 solenoid may be your culprit. Pretty common problem once you get some miles on these.

normally mine has a delay shifting from first to second, i figured its because of i need a trans flush since it hasnt been done in years. but it didnt slip into 2nd, i just wouldnt leave 1st gear

Could be this. Sadly the cheapest fix is a new tranny. Ford transmissions, swapping a solenoid is like a 2 hour job for a DIY guy

Without knowing the mileage, etc i can only assume that you are overdue or just plain low.

I do think it could be old transmission fluid, so just go ahead and eliminate that as a possibility.
