If you get on the Coan website, they have a break down of the tricks in the XLT. It seem to me if you are in the clean neutral position, and the direct clutch is welded, then to get the car to move there must be a cross leak into the forward clutch . Could be leaking at the manual valve, or could be mis alignment of the valve in the clean neutral position.

The XLT 350thm doesn't have an intermediate sprag, so I think it is critical how the second clutch comes off as the direct clutch comes on. If second clutch is slow to come off, or has a restricted exhaust, then this might be the reason the direct clutch burns up, due to a tie up on the 2 to 3 shift. This could be a problem with how the manual valve is positioned in the valve body during the shift.
