  1. Thanks for the recommendations. We will pull the valve body as soon as possible, then go from there. Would swapping it from another E4OD from a 90 work? Either way, the valvebody will be looked at, then the solenoid pack. I know the 90 solenoid pack is not interchangeable, but will be checked also. If all checks good, and still no movement, rebuild time. Thanks for your help. Dave
  2. Thanks Moses, I did the pressure test as directed, zero pressure. Fluid level is correct. Looks like the pump failed. Unless you have any other ideas. Gauge is serviceable by the way, I checked my F150, worked as advertised. Dave
  3. Hi, we triple checked the filter o-ring, gives a tight seal. I rechecked all the lines for blockage again and all were clear. There is no fluid coming out of the pressure tap on the side either. An old Ford mechanic told me to try blowing air through both in/out cooler lines into the tranny, to see if some check valve may be stuck. Didn't change anything, but could hear bubbles in pan. So assume all those are clear. Is there any other valve that could be stuck? Maybe one blocking the pump flow to the converter? I did blow air like he said from the cooler fitting at the radiator and get a short flow of fluid, maybe 3-4 seconds with engine idling. Strange indeed. Seems almost like it was clogged between the pump and converter before the fluid change, but the converter was full, so everything worked. Make any sense? You mentioned the pump inlet screen, is that different than the filter, and if so, is that accessible from in the pan, or does the tranny need disassembly? Dave
  4. Help! A friend changed her trans fluid and filter on her 1995 F150 4x4 with E4OD that was acting fine,just regular maint. She didn't know she had a torque converter drain plug, so just filter and fluid. Truck started shifting hard into reverse and drive immediately after. When she realized she had a drainable TC, all fluids were replaced. then truck had to be revved to 1200-1400 to engage. Fluids removed and filter checked, all good and replaced. Truck won't move now and TC isn't filling. We also checked the cooling lines for blockage, all lines are clear, no fluid coming out of line to cooler when running, tranny has fluid. The drainback valve has also been checked. I find it hard to believe the pump went bad because of a filter change. MLPS was changed also just as a guess. Truck is not filling the TC. Is there a valve that might of got stuck? She's a single mom, and really hopes someone can help.
