    just any? manual gearbox

    Hello, having a '89 F-350 4x4 with the E4OD(defect) and having a 435 manual in the barn, I'm thinking to swap them, I'm wondering if that's just doable, or a total nogo? And if you were planning a swap, what would be important to have / watch for in a manual box?

    how to go on with my E4OD

    Hello all, back again, There's nobody around here that has any understanding of automatic gearboxes, I understood that hot rodders here (France) go to Holland or Germany if they have such problems, I asked for a quote there, and depending on it's between 2 and 3000€ that's too much for my...

    how to go on with my E4OD

    ok, This is odd, I can't find any about it in the factory manual,nor youtube or internet, and there are contradicting storeys on the forum. I don't know who to believe. it wasn't a new TC, only fully drained. About the cooler lines, I drained from them, but it only released a drip at a time...

    I killed the engine, and left for about half an hour, then I came back and had another look at the trans oil level, without starting the engine, It read about 1 cm above the crosshatched area on the dipstick. I don't know, I got the feeling I'm doiing something wrong here, am I???

    I started the engine, feet on the brake, and pass all gears with a little time inbetween them,then back to "P", check oil level, then I took a little drive at slow speed, and when I came back had another look at the oil level. But before I had parked it, I noticed a soft slipping noise, in all...

    How could old Henry have foreseen this???? conveyer belt work would have sped up by means of standardisation, not by picking up whatever fastener fell to the ground to fasten whatever part on whatever they are producing there!???

    how to go on with my E4OD

    well, this is complicated, I haven't the torx socket for the rear Universal Joint to unbolt, so I can't pull the driveshaft from the TC, I split the TC/trans so that the support stays with the TC, but I can't take the TC out, because there's not sufficient room due to the driveshaft not taken...
