What was the problem with the E4OD transmissions?
What was the problem with the E4OD transmissions?
E4OD transmissions manufactured prior to 1995 had an issue with the MLPS, or “Range Sensor”. It was determined to be inadequately weather-proof, allowing water to enter the connector and corrode the pins, causing electrical problems.
What are the specs of an E4OD shift?
E4OD / 4R100 Specs 1 Weight: 270 lbs. (dry with converter) 2 Case: Aluminum 3 Fluid Capacity: 18 quarts Mercon V (total with torque converter) More
What causes a Ford E4OD to not shift?
A Ford E4OD shift problem like this can be solenoids, wiring or sensor issues. It is unlikely a mechanical issue other than bound or damaged shift linkage. There is a PCM (powertrain control module) that can throw codes. Use your Snap-On MT2500 to read codes if possible.
How much does it cost to trans a Ford E4OD?
If you want to help your E4OD get a reputable trans. shop to recommend and install a valve body kit (shift kit) such as a sonnex. These trans. are very expensive $2500.-3000. to replace with oem and double that for an extreme duty unit.

What happens when the clutch fails on an E4OD?
When the intermediate clutch fails on an E4OD it causes it to stay in first gear until third gear is commanded and then it will shift from first to third. Going directly from first to 3rd will cause a harsh shift. Pay close attention to the number of shifts to make sure this is not happening.
What causes increase in rpm in E4OD Tran?
You could put C6 gears in the transmission, but this would actually reduce the RPM in first and second, and give no change in 3rd or 4th. The most likely cause for the increased RPM would be a torque converter clutch that is not engaging. I have a 1990 f-250 with a 7.3 liter diesel, and a e4od tran.
What causes a bad transmission on a Ford E4OD?
A vacuum leak, defective transmission module, or bad throttle position sensor could cause this issue. As your transmission moves through the gears, it sends power through the transfer case, so it goes to the wheels.

Is the Ford E4OD transmission the same as the 4R100?
1998: Ford renamed the E4OD transmission as the 4R100 transmission. there are some differences however its the same transmission. they also gave some 4R100 models a PTO option. The E4OD can be found behind a 6 cylinder 300 CID engine up to the 7.3 ltr. diesel engines.
How often does the E4OD transmission neutral out?
My E4OD transmission neutrals out intermittently in Overdrive and 4th gear. It seems to be very erratic, sometimes you can make a 300 mile trip witout any problems, and other times it will neutral out 3 or 4 times on a 10 mile trip. When the problem is not present it works perfectly.
