Hello all, although I've used this forum regularly, I've just recently joined and this is my first post. I have a 1994 F250 4X2 with a NA 7.3 and E40D tranny.
The truck runs and drives great, but every now and again, it seems the transmission slips (only when OD is on, and not all the time). I've read up on the issue, and have an MLPS on the way....but I'm not convinced this will cure the problem...it seems a bit more sinister than a sensor.
That aside, while I was at the junk yard pulling some hood springs for it, I found a 1992 e-series van with an E40D, with a "Ford Quality Renewal" sticker on it, and by the looks of it, less than a year old (fluid looks brand new!). What really caught my eye was that it had an F8 pump on it. This lead me to believe it's got most of the updated internal parts, even though it's a pre-95 van.
So, my question is: If I go pull this transmission, can I just take the internal parts (clutch packs, valve/solenoid bodies, etc) out of their case, and swap it into mine? Also, it's got a 4 bolt torque converter? Before I go buy it, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't incorrect in my thinking that just the bellhousing/case is different as far as E40D's for gas vs diesel engines go.
Thanks in advance!
