That can be a fluid issue, Ford ended up recommending fluid replaced with better synthetic fluid in the vics after issues appeared with the typical cheap stuff. If it was serviced with that cheaper fluid it can cause some issues. Also the Trans in the vics still uses vacuum to shift make sure you do not have any vacuum leaks.

Ford has not used a vacuum modulator in many years. No vacuum hose to the transmission. Check the fluid to see if it is red. If not red I would definitely drain the fluid and replace the filter. The converter cannot be drained. The fluid change may help.
