94 Bronco W/ E4od Tranny

[rick moreton]

i'm having a problem with my e4od, i've replaced all the sensors at it still shifts erratically mostly when its hot, also when it sits in a parking lot and it's hot out i'll get in and take off and have to shift it manually. i've been told that it is probably the brain by a transmission shop but nobody seems to know where it is, everybody points to the kick panel on the drivers side, i do not see it. any help in finding it would be apprieciated. also if any body else has experienced this problem and found a solution please write back. Thank You Rick Moreton

when they were testing my 4x4 they told me the brain was on the passger side kick panel i dont know if the trannys is there but it would make some sense. hope this helped you a little, good luck.

im haveing almost the same prob with my 94 i had it looked at and the shop said that all the sensors were working properly and that it could be the valve body or the clutches mine has 111,000 miles on it so im goin with a rebuild it will cost me about $1400 when alls said and done they're doin all the updates and machineing it for extra clutches im installing it myself /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> tryin to save some$

oh yeah the main ecu does it all except abs it is behind the kick pannel on the pass side

Right, the "copmuter" behind the kick panel controls both the engine and E4OD tranny. Any problems with the motor will affect the tranny, and the cooling for the fluid is done by the radiator. Check for any overheating problems, like burnt fluid. $1400 for an overhaul is not bad at all, as it can be as much as $3000. Excessive heat will **** this model faster than most, but there are many upgrades that help.

i know this was an old post but i wanted to reply anyway. iwas told by a ford tech who also has the same year f150 as mine that the problem is also has to do with the throttle body butterflies being gummed up on the back of them, and on the side is a single plug valve that also gets gummed up. clean them both up and it takes care of a whole **** of a lot of engine and tranny problems.
