you can continuie to drive your car, however- without changing the Transmission Fluid, it will wear and couse your gears to stick, and ultimatly seize. it is best to replace the fluids regularly (30-50,000) then pushing it as it will cost you more to relace the transmission then to maintain it in the course of 10 yrs.
tip: find out if you car has an actual transmission drain plug, if not you may want to have one installed as this will save time when replacing your transmission fluid (if you are going to a shop to have it done this means saving about $15-50 in labor costs each visit.).

Transmission bangs when put in gear?
It's a good chance it's not your transmission at all. I would or have someone check your u-joints on the drive shaft of the vehicle. They could need replacement, its a lot less expensive than a transmission rebuild.

1998 F150 XLT Transmission Delay getting in gear?
My advice to you is not to drive that vehicle until you get in fixed. You may just need a mount replacement and if you continue to drive it, things will get worse and that is more money you will have to spend to get it fixed. You also may need to have your transmission replaced but more than likely it is fixable. Just do NOT drive it!!!!

What is a powertrain control module?
The pcm is the computer that controls all of the engine functions and sometimes the transmission. In a vehicle, the term drivetrain or powertrain refers to the group of components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air. This includes the engine, transmission, driveshafts, differentials, and the final drive (drive wheels, caterpillar track, propeller, etc). Sometimes "powertrain" is used to refer to simply the engine and transmission, including the other components only if they are integral to the transmission. A vehicle's driveline consists of the parts of the drivetrain excluding the engine and transmission. It is the portion of a vehicle, after the transmission, that changes depending on whether a vehicle is front wheel drive, four wheel drive, or rear wheel drive.
