See
http://broncozone.com/topic/19880-transmission-fluid/page__p__104788entry104788
here they are (just one Link shown since the other(s) are in here somewhere, prob in diff sections. Hope you capice that I'm not flamin' ya for this! I got personally blasted by a dude here 2 yrs ago for doing this on one of his tech issues; he threatened my fam and me here in PMs and followed me to 3 other Forums and continued the PMs.

For an E4OD; NOISE:
From bellhousing = Pump problem
In all gears except 3rd = Planetary gear train problem
All gears all the time = Bearing or bushing failure
I think you recently wrote here that you just
replaced the front seal & have a leak; was this leak & noise before or after you did the job?
Will this help?
Pump & Overdrive Section Assembly Tips; "...It is recommended that an aligning band be used when assembling an E4OD pump. The alignment band will locate the outside diameters of the pump assembly but not the bolt holes. To align the bolt holes quickly and easily, install a 10 mm shank bolt as shown in Figure 1, during assembly. This will more precisely align the pump and make the pump to case bolt installation easier. Installing the overdrive components is most easily done as a complete assembly. Assemble the entire overdrive section on the bench. Then, using snap ring pliers, reach into the turbine shaft hole. Squeeze the pliers tightly to grip the assembly. Now lift the overdrive assembly using the snap ring pliers as a handle and install it into the case (Figure 2)..." Figures are gone; by atcdg.com via web.archive.org

Filter Clip Alternative; "... have seen many threads and received many pm's as of late speaking of the stay-put filter clip used to keep the filters from falling out of the pump in the e4od. there is an alternative to using this clip. it is more expensive but also has more benefits than just using this clip. you can get a trans pan from a 03 super-duty truck. this pan has little humps in the bottom to but up against the bottom of the filter and this keeps the filter from falling down. this pan also has a drain plug and extra capacity for 1.5 more qts of fluid. this pan also allows you to use the much better elastomer gasket. it is reusable and virtually leak-proof. much better than the cork design. it does require the use of a 4x4 filter..."

Filter Magnet; E4OD Kills Engine in Drive; works as a filter retainer; w/Ford PN and size...basically this is a magnet Ford uses to keep the filter in-place tightly into the pump; Ford pn F3RZ-7E290-AC

"...When ever you go to change your trans filter, Always make sure to pull out the little round rubber do hicky thingamabob. Lets call it a gromit or a seal?
Theres this part of the trans filter that is inserted into the trans (a round tube that goes up into this hole ); Now the tube has a gasket of sorts that wraps around the tube ( kinda like a wide O-ring )It form a seal between the tube and the hole it goes in. Well what ended up killing my trans was that fact that the last guy that changed the trans filter didnt notice that this o-ring thing (gromit Or what ever) did'nt come out with the filter it stayed in the hole! He left it in there; & installed the new filter witch had its preinstalled gromit already; So what he did, is he (unknowingly) stacked two gromits on top of each other, Witch did not let the filters tube fit as it should. It was starving itself for fluid!! It was sucking air as well as tranny fluid! (in other words not working right) ..." by Blanco
