e4od hesitates/slips between shifts

[93f250idi]

just like the title says my e4od hesitates/slips between shifts. time for a new tranny? no tranny codes found. will a transgo tugger kit fix this? fluid shows signs of slippage (brownish color)

i know where a good used jasper tranny is that shifted great. the guy i sold it to decided to go with a built tranny and sell this one back to me

I would try to raise the FIPLE voltage a bit which in turn would create later/firmer shifts. See what happens

Mine is constantly set a tad higher than the 1.1v at idle. I feel a slightly later shift is easier on the trans. IMHO

how would i go about doing this? this is a powerstroke if it makes a difference

 

[Kevin 007]

Oh sorry, didn't realize that it was a stroke. Im not sure what they use for a TPS of FIPL. I should as I owna stroke with an E4od.

Someone else will chime in im sure. Good luck and stay posted, dont give up in that trans just yet.

i posted it here for the most views. didnt know if there was a difference or not.

Not trying to hi-jack .. what is the procedure for an idi ?

 

[Kevin 007]

There are 3 wires for the FIPL on the drivers side of the injection pump.. Test the voltage on the middle wire with the key ON and engine OFF. The voltage should be around 1.0-1.1v at idle and up to 4.3v at full throttle.
Loosen the two torx nuts and adjust as necessary.

I have mine set at 1.2v at idle.

i will aid in the hijack
from what i hear this is what should be done to set the tps to have an e4od that shifts awsome.

just sell it.

you guys are brutal

Your in the wrong forum for a PSD but here goes. The TPS is on the foot peddle. There is like two of them.

....It recieves a 5 volt reference on the Brown/White ---- ground circuit on the Black/White wire. It also sends a .9 volt to 4.5 volt signal on the Green/White wire to the PCM to indicate throttle position.

The IVS is a normally closed switch. It has 2 wires, 1 is a Brown, a fused battery voltage wire , the other is Red/Orange and goes to the PCM to confirm pedal position. When the pedal is in the idle position the Brown wire at the IVS is battery voltage and the Red/Orange wire is 0 volts.

As pedal travel
increases to approximately 1.3 volts as indicated on the Green/White wire at the AP sensor[or TPS], the voltage on the Red/Orange wire should increase to battery voltage to indicate acceleration.

 

[Kevin 007]

Is it adjustable?

 

[OLDBULL8]

NO. But they wear out.
Anyone running a E4OD should invest in a manual from ASTG. It has all the trouble shooting, tear down and rebuild. Around $26 for it.

 

[OLDBULL8]

If your fluid is burn't (brownish) it should be changed, and go from there. See what's in the pan when changing if anything. A lot of sludge could mean the clutch faces are worn off making it slip. A tugger kit won't do any good if that's the case, needs rebuild.
