E4od/4r100 1st 2nd or 3rd gear kick

[@benjaminray2425]

Honestly can’t even complain about the video quality. You have the best explanation on this, I really hope you keep making videos

[@Occuria1]

Exactly! Filmed with a potato, but the best explanation about this problem out here.

[@glowvid]

Bro you explain things so well, you're a natural teacher

[@rickmurie5861]

Thanks John. Good stuff, clear explanation. I have a 97 F250 with E4OD. Often slams into third gear when up-shifting on a hill (no tow) and/or when up-shifting with a tow load on the flat or uphill. Seldom if ever happens on the flat unless accelerating hard for a merge. I think I know where to start looking now.

[@Dmkpit401]

One of the best explanations on a valve body I have seen great video cause my transmission is doing exactly that

[@markj284]

Looked every where for this info. Thanks for the break down of the accumulators.

[@justinspencer6449]

Thanks, I think this is the best video I have seen on the accumulator springs, my Expedition is doing the hard shift from 1 to 2 slightly 2 to 3 and smooth 3 to 4. Going to tackle this job this weekend.

[@johnperkins9602]

David Smith We get them in often with many broken springs however I am in Colorado and we have to climb mountains constantly in our cars. Our shop in California never has the issues we do here and the one in Texas has less issues then either shop. I think climate has a lot to do with failure of transmissions now days to be honest. What do you think?

[@johnperkins9602]

Sorry for the late response but how did your repair go. Also thanks for the compliment on my vcideo. I will keep an eye out for you to respond.

[@justinspencer6449]

John Perkins it actually was not the springs, I replaced them since I had them and was in there. That was my last try at a fix so I let it sit for a while then took it in and they took some stuff apart to test and everything tested okay, when they put it back together the problem wouldn't repeat. I have been driving it for almost a month with no more problems, I think it must of just been a loose connection somewhere.

[@johnperkins9602]

That was going to be my next quess. That plug fools even me sometimes. Also under the air breather on the driver side it has a wire harness that loves to rub on metal and cause all kinds of problems. Check that and rewrap it as needed before you have an issue. Its very common on that suv.

[@justinspencer6449]

Thanks

[@aaronrodriguez159]

Thanks buddy much appreciated ,missing link to my problematic transmission 💯

[@philliphill3787]

Old video I know but a lot of good information. My 02 f250 has a weird 2-3 shift. Its not hard but does a weird double bump as it shifts to 3rd. Rpms dont flair and it happens fast. Doesn't always do it and it varies in severity depending on throttle position. WOT is actually very smooth. You're in 2nd, rpms rising to the 3rd shift point, bump bump, now you're in 3rd gear. Like it bumps then bumps to 3rd. Very hard to describe. I changed fluid and filter @ 136k. No change in performance. Usual fuzz on magnet and there was pepper flake like metallic debris in pan. Looked identical to the flakey powder used in shotgun shells. And ideas to where I should start?

[@cheewurz]

John...great video. I have a 1994 Ford F-150 with an intermittent shift problem. Occasionally it will go neutral... Rev... I'll instantly get off the accelerator a couple of seconds until it shifts smoothly back into gear. I've taken it to several reputable shops and each one has a different diagnosis. From the internet I've gathered that it's either the Neutral Safety Switch or Leaky Capacitors in the Computer... do you agree? I have rebuilt two 700R4 and one A4ODE...so I'm not totally ignorant...just don't want to take a shotgun approach to this diagnosis and repair.

Dude your the best!! Your assistant could have taken off her shirt, then she would ranked up there almost as cool as you.

[@josephcarlat9414]

Thanks. I just rebuilt my first transmission, E4OD. It won’t shift into 3rd. I think you may have provided the answer to my problem.

[@hughezzell10000]

[@joejoe-bx2mt]

Nice video. My transmission has a hard kick in the first couple gears. sometimes it goes away entirely. other times it kicks super hard. Is it possible that broken springs will cause an intermittent hard kick? or is my issue something else

[@charleswright9348]

I have same problem in my truck , exactly the same.

[@e-dubp.3514]

charles wright did you figure it out?

[@TheJay553]

Thanks John great video. The issue I’m having is a late shift from 1st to 2nd gear. The trans is rebuilt and has been working perfectly until recent. I’ve had the psom checked and seems to be in good shape. Any ideas what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated.

[@TheTruthBeToId]

The 4r100 in my lightning has a kick to it, but 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th is brutal, especially when you floor it. It's very violent, and getting reverse to engage takes like 2 to 5 seconds it's annoying.

[@pizzamanjohnson9153]

I have an f350 and I wanted to know can I remove it&ship it to u. U can fix the problem

[@itsmeray01]

I took my like pressure valve apart because i thought that the spring was broke because it was floting like you show.. well when i took the retainer off i pulled the end out with the o ring ok them i tillt it over and the big weaker spring fell out and so did the smaller heavy spring . well which direction does the washer and small spring go.

[@motoroadrunner9589]

So how come adding extra springs froma. Rebuild kit also still kicks hard? But having just 1 spring in each spot the trans doesnt want to shift. Having the 3 springs in 1 spot drives well but still kicks hard lol

[@Stumphugger064]

I recently lost 3/4 gears but still had reverse, and it ended up being a stuck shift solenoid pack. I know this because I pulled valve body and accumulator body, disassembled/reassembled and had the same problem. I had a buddy come over with his snap on solus scanner and he opened and closed my shift solenoids with the scanner and it shook loose whatever was stuck in solenoids. I am curious though, What would be the cause of soft shifts now that trans is shifting through all the gears. Springs are intact and not broken. Truck shifts better when pulling my trailer than it does not pulling. Just curious.

[@johnperkins9602]

that should be a 4r70w transmission. look at pan and compare to pics of a 4r70w. unless its a f250 or a ford "rare bird" they are know for doing that. stuck in 4th is odd too. usually they stick in 2nd or (limp mode)

[@geanfresanchez]

it's a 4r100 , what is limp mode and what can I do to fix it, and sorry but I'm new on this kind of stuff,thank you

[@travisc5658]

Could this cause an intermittent kick hard shift into third a couple times a day only if that plunger is sticking or spring is barely broken and works only sometimes?

[@F8lastcallcharger345]

The TPS on my truck started missing up and it would cause my truck to change from 2-3 then 3-2 real fast a bunch of times. I replaced the entire peddle Assembly and now when my truck goes from 2-3 it is a very hard shift. If I am little on the throttle it bangs into gear, if I am wide open it does a very long slow shift. If I got 3/4 throttle it shifts normal.

[@motoroadrunner9589]

I thought this would be my e40d trans kick problem from 1st to 2nd. Turns out its not. Cause i rebuild my acumilator and isntalled a shift kit with new sorings. Still does it lol sucks! Im clueless what it is now

[@Crazycarl66757]

Hi, you seem to know more than a lot of people. I have a 97 f350 7.3 cab n chassis.. when its cold it shifts fine, until few blocks then it won't leave 1st...if it does by over revving and letting off throttle it skips 2nd and goes to 3rd momentearly then to OD. but no engine light or flashing OD light, the other day I pulled a 24K load on trailer and I kept OD off and drove it like I stole it....and engine got up to 205 degrees and it started shifting just fine.....it does this everytime, I've changed fluid completely twice, changed the TRS and the OD, and speedo work fine. I thought third band was going bad and was going to drive till it quit, but its been 8months of driving. I just manual shift to 2nd then back to drive which then it usually just skips to OD, and then If I try to turn OD off it stays in OD with convertor locked until under 30mph and hit brake to release conv lock... I haven't tried getting codes since no flashing Od light or eng light. strange it wont shift unless cold or borderlined overheated? hope you can give some insight of what you would think Thanks, Carl

[@johnperkins9602]

+Carl Johnson : I hate to tell you this but they come in like that all the time. Needs a friction module. A rebuild kit pretty much.

[@heightsgolan8742]

2000 f350 7.3 4r100. shifts lazy from 2nd to 3rd and lazy shift from 3rd to 4th. 3rd and 4th have engine brake all the time. will rebuilding accumulator body fix it?

[@jkirkland64]

Thanks for the informative video. I have a 96 bronco with the E4OD and intermittently will have the transmission feel like it is slipping while taking off. It will shift hard through all the gears, then go back to shifting normally and correctly a mile later. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi I have a 93 f150 2wd e4od transmission, was rebult 2yrs ago shifts great hot or cold but when you try to drop to passing gear it winds and will not drop in gear,like it slips, it will do the same by shutting off the od button

Do I have to pull out the transmission to do this job? Does anybody know?

[@jasonmorrell301]

Just had my 4r100 rebuilt. All gears shift hard . guys giving me the run through first he tried telling me my o2 sensors were causing a hard shift. Them it went from that to him telling me he doubled up some sort of spring in the accumulator body. I know this guy fucked up somewhere and doesnt want to admit it. There were bolts missing , it was about 4 quarts low. Should it be shifting hard or shoukd it be smooth like it was prior.

[@josephprovence2813]

Honda valve that float back and forth best thing to use to test it is a air hose move back and forth over the slots quickly to test it I work at a transmission shop and that's what we used so you want it damaged the boards

[@johnperkins9602]

Honda is a whole other deal. cpc valves are the only ones to really worry about and you have to replace the tcc regulator valve from sonnax. you can not remove a 4r100/e4od valve with air if its stuck. maybe a cpc valve on a Honda maybe. but a note for you is if a valve moves with air then its probably not bad.

I had to remove the front driveshaft at the scene on the break down and proceeded to drive away. The truck lost a sensor on the transfer case and the truck only wanted to go 5 MPH! I thought maybe the truck needed that sensor and that was why the slow speed. I got truck from Morgan Hill to Hayward on city streets at 5 MPH ! Made a lot of people behind me mad, but the trip was all on city 2 lane roads. I got a used transfer case from a Craigslist seller and still the truck wants to do its 5 MPH! Did I ruin the transmission?? The truck still has its reverse and forward gears, just the truck somehow went into a "limp mode" Any help would be appreciated. THANK YOU

[@johnperkins9602]

you need to check the wiring to the transmission and see if you have any codes. takes a special scanner to pull those codes. autozone scanner will not work. they will say it has no codes. find a trans shop that will scan it for free.

You know you have to take those valves out of that bore you just scratched all to shit. It’s a accumulator mainbody. It’s made for cushioning the fluid pressure “shifting” when the pressure engages whatever gear..
