Trans cooler

Better job than I could do! May the solder gods be with you!

Got it all back together at about 4pm today. Took it for a test run down my road and back , about 2 miles. Takes it a bit long to shift to 2nd and just kind of slips in there, got a code 62 with od light flashing. Cleared codes and drove about 3 miles to camp spot at lake, trans temp shows 156 for high temp on that trip. Trans still just kind of slips into 2nd, seems to shift good to 3rd and od, no codes on trip to lake, but I'm sure the trans is pretty much done, can't trust her a a long trip

Well, that's unfortunate. On to "Plan B," eh?

take off in manual 1 and then shift to manual 2.how does that feel compared to letting it shift auto in the D position?

Most stock E4s have a mushy second gear shift with a heavy load. like FORDF250 said. Try manual shifting add see how that goes. 156 degrees is a good temp reading. If it were slipping the temp would be higher

Does the solinoid pack control the overdrive? I just started driving the truck again after it has sit awhile, due to the above comments about overheating. Seems to shift good, going from 2nd to 3rd, slips into 2nd from 1st. But no overdrive? Also does anyone know of a dipstick that will fit the e4od, that is a normal dipstick, without that impossible to read plastic on the end?

I drilled a couple more shallow holes in the flat section. They tend to hold a little fluid and make it much easier to read when the fluid is new.

plastic on the end?

Must be a 94, factory turbo with E4OD, thing.

post a pic sometime? im intrigued.

If this works , this is a picture of the transaction dipstick, a small stiff wire with a piece of plastic melted to the end

Now does the solinoid pack control the overdrive?

Yes the solenoid pack does control OD. Solenoid S2.

You can get ahold of the earlier dip stick it has a metal end. You might find one in a junkyard. A little tip for reading that impossible plastic dipstick. Lay it on a dark piece of paper. You will see the level much easier this way.

Now back to fourth gear. You should have a code stored if the solenoid quit. If there is no code, then it's mechanical. Low pressure, stuck regulator valve, or a bad piston seal are the few that can cause this.

Start by checking the fluid. It might be low.

the control unit does but yes it tells the solenoid pack.SS2
here's a list for no OD.

for chip truck @ 100k miles it was reason #8

I did get a flashing od light on the way home tonight, Trans was at 163 degree temperature. When I got home I checked code, it was code 62 which my book says is 4/3 circuit fault
