Hi Marshall, thanks for sharing all your E4OD/4R100 expertise. I have a 2003, F150 w/a 4R100. I recently had the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminate. The accompanying symptom (buzzing sound) made me think something was amiss w/the torque converter. Turns out, ATF was exactly 2 qts. low. I added the two quarts, which brought level to "Hot" full mark. ATF looked good. Last checked the level in spring of 2023, and was full at the time. Transmission has been operating fine (until recent incident). I also looked for leak(s) but couldn't see any. Someone on the F150 Forum remarked about the possibility of this transmission having a (vacuum) modulator, that if it fails/begins to fail, it will throw a "Service Engine Soon" light/code, and it could be the cause of the fluid loss. I examined the driver/passenger sides of the transmission (as best I could), and the transfer case, but couldn't see any vacuum hose connection. I noted the transfer case breather hose. Please, does the 4R100 have a (vacuum operated) modulator, and if so, where should I look on the transmission for it, and please how should I test it? Thanks from East/Central AZ.

A 4R100 does NOT have a vacuum modulator. That’s the “OLD” school way transmissions used to regulate line pressure rise. The 4R100 uses an Electronic Pressure Control solenoid to control line pressure rise. All done by the computer. As far as your fluid loss goes if it is not leaking out onto the ground it can only be going to 2 places. (1) into the radiator cooler and mixing with Antifreeze. You would easily be able to tell this because either/or the transmission fluid would be milky looking or the Antifreeze would be a milky looking. (2) most likely cause is the transfer case input seal is hardened and letting fluid leak past and over filling up the Transfer case and subsequently going low in the transmission. Pull the fill plug on the transfer case and see if it is overfull.

@@marshallsanders5672 Hi Marshall, thanks for clarifying (although through research yesterday I learned just what you stated). Today a shop confirmed that my torque converter is failing. Also, just checked my coolant, and no ATF contamination. Haven't checked the transfer case, but am going to remove transmission for rebuild (and of course, replace the damaged torque converter). No local transmission rebuilder, (wish I was in your locale to have you work your magic on it, lol) so it will go to an individual in Phoenix with whom the local auto repair shop coordinates for transmission work.

I have a question, I recently repaired the transmission of my ford, year 99 7.3L engine, the problem I have is that it is not making the respective speed changes automatically, it stays in the first, for it to release the other speeds I have to accelerate to 2500 rpm and release the accelerator and accelerate again so that it goes to the next speed and already in the third she makes the change automatically to 4

You just need to scan the computer for codes, the overdrive light "blinking " is telling you there's codes in the computer. The codes should lead you to the problem. Also make sure there is power going down to the transmission

Yeah I've gotten some flack on that comment! What i meant really is that if the part seems it will go 100k miles then it should be fine for 200k+ miles. There is just a fine line between a part that is ok to use and one that will go the distance. Many rebuilders just put in the OK to use parts not worrying about whether it'll go the distance or not. I don't like to use any part I feel won't go the distance! Thanks for the comment.

Is there and possibility to tight the front endplay to the specs? And for future what is the was to create a bigger play on the end if it is necessary. Thanks for helping

I recommend towing with the O/D off (light on) then when you get up to speed on flat grade/low load situations it’s ok to put it in O/D. I also recommend manually shifting in more extreme/heavy towing situations.

Aw dang sorry to hear about the first attempt, I guess that’s first hand experience in how important every detail is. Happy to hear you figured out the problem and have it all corrected now! That is a lot of weight my friend but sounds like she did well. 160 degree temps are just fine especially when towing you must have a good sized cooler on your rig. I would recommend manually shifting gears when towing that much as well. Thanks for the comment !

Wow great detail(s) better than the best and I have rebuilt trans since the early 70's. Good Question: I was asked to determine why a Factory Rebuilt E4OD installed in 2013 with reportedly all factory upgraded E4OD internals and seals and with after only 9,500 miles on the unit, installed in a low mileage 93 IDI 7.3 with little to no towing after install would begin to leak out of the front of the transmission. However note the truck sat unused from 2018 till 2023 but after the truck was put back on the road in late 2023 the trans started spitting trans fluid out after only 2 months of very occasional driving ? This is usually a front pump seal or torque converter issue on high milage or over cooked transmissions. This truck since the rebuilt install from day one had a large 7.5 qt Derale cooling pan installed along with a large front independent cooler with cabin trans temp gauge. It reportedly has the newer type pump seal installed at time of rebuild by Ford factory rebuild division. Trans fluid does not smell burnt and is still a fresh red color. Any input and insight would be appreciated. Could having sat for 4.5 yrs have anything to do with it on a low mileage babied factory rebuild trans ?? - Thanks in advance.

For the Torque Converter Lockup Firmness what would you recommend for a Billet Triple Disc Converter from PATC in a Truck that Tows 10-12K Trailer? Not towing that amount of Weight every day. Thanks Again for your advise. Running the Tugger Kit, it says .76 for Normal .82 for Firm and .93 for Firmest.
@marshallsanders5672
@marshallsanders5672 2 ай бұрын
The triple disc converters tend to lock-up a bit on the firmer side anyway because they have so much clutch surface area to them. With what your planning on doing with the truck I personally would go .082 and expect it to be a little aggressive when not towing but shouldn’t be to abrupt. To firm(not good) To soft (not) good. Just right is key and it’s somewhat of a guessing game but that’s where I would go with your application.

Sir, You are SIMPLY THE BEST ! Your production movie here is more exiting than the some of the recent Hollywood once ! But I have a special case Quest for You, around one Lockup mystery issue . I'm very lonely American car fan in the part of the world where I live - Eastern Europe. Due to I don't have anybody to help me, to ask about anything technical around my beloved American beauties. Will You be so kind to help me and give me guidance to resolve the embarrassing problem with the favorite one of this cars ? I want to restore this car in the finniest way possible and to be a real Ambassador of American spirit and Glory ! I have a very tricky problem with my 1991 Econoline Dimond Executive Van 5,8L with E4od. When I'm driving the car with "super 100" gas (100 octane) the lockup is working properly, but when I drive it with regular petrol ( 85 octane gas ) the lockup is becoming unstable and slippery , makes short slips and kicks, especially* when need to press the gas pedal on the uphill* road. If I release back the throttle it stabilize again, but the car loosing momentum and naturally slows down and start shifts down to 4th and than to 3th speed , where again when the LockUp is engage doing the same trick, so I'm forced to switch to D. That way the car becoming very difficult and expensive to drive on highway and long distances. Do You have idea what can cause this kind of symptoms and what can I check and Do to try to fix it without removing the box ?

I can't tell you how many videos I have watched and searched for to see DIY frame sandblast that went as Great as this guy. THERE IS NONE!!! You just can't match a Pro Sandblast Guy with all the Proper Equipment and the Speed at which he does it. Unless you want to spend a week with a Harbor Freight Toy Sandblast Kit, This IS the Way To Go. It's worth at least $1000 to do it and get it done so you can move on and coat that metal as fast as you can. I agree, their prices can be expensive but it's all about saving Blood, Sweat, Time and Money. Do it once the right way and move on. That's what I've learned from KZbin Videos. If anyone knows of a better solution than that, please let me know. I also am NOT a fan of POR 15 but I would use epoxy primer , 2-3 coats with sanding as smooth as you can get it followed by 2-3 coats of SEM Hot Rod Black Satin Paint. I've seen the results and it looks as good as powder coating. Unless it's just a show car or truck, then just have it powder coated. Suggestions Wanted. Thanks.

@marshallsanders5672
@marshallsanders5672 3 ай бұрын
Unfortunately no that won’t work. Any pressure plate has to be one solid plate because of the forces placed on it by the clutches/hydraulic pressure. If it’s just 2 steels they will flex to much and you’ll loose a solid clamp of the whole clutch pack causing them to fail prematurely. I won’t use any plate that’s 1/8” or thinner. Anything under that has caused me problems and Ive tried.

Yeah .060 is a bit loose. It won’t cause any problems other than possibly delay in reverse engagement. Mixing steels is just fine to do. I like around .040 on that clutch. You can also remove the wave and stack steels in its place but sounds like your thicker steels will do the trick.

General rule is .010 per clutch but with that said that’s not a “normal” clutch pack. I would shoot for .060 on that, any more and you’ll most likely get a delayed reverse engagement. And .060 is plenty unless any instructions say specifically otherwise. Good Question!
