Transmission Gauge

[Cincinnati Guy]

I am wanting to pick up a transmission gauge. I dunno whats a good one. I was looking at some glow shift gauges that come with the sending unit and wire. Where would I mount the temperature sending unit in the transmission?

Drivers side just in front of the shifter is a test port, the sender will thread in that hole.

Pictures are a great thing. Here's one of my truck, showing the location mentioned, as well as a deeper pan with drain plug.

I bought mine from the local Ford truck dealer. After all, it's a Ford part.

Transmission Deep Pan, Updated Gasket PN #2438793 - 06/11/05 04:49 PM Edit Reply Quote


If you should want the deep oil pan for your E4OD with the drain plug and the reusable gasket, here is the part number for the kit, includes pan, gasket and bolts necessary to do the conversion:

F7TZ-7A194-DA

The pan itself, for the later E4ODs, is a

F81Z-7A194-BA

I had a hard time finding these numbers so I thought I would post it.

Hope that helps you, and your local dealer has it.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the external parts of the E4OD changed. The internals were updated a bit periodically, but I don't think the case was.

At any rate, I have a '92 whereas you have a '91, according to your sigblock. If it fits on my '92, it should fit your '91. Of course, your local friendly Ford dealer should be able to verify according to the part number.
I requested it, at the parts counter, by number.

The updated pan is for the 4R100. This is the one you want. Uses the reusable gasket, no more leaks. The best part is they have a drain plug.

You are correct. Externally they are the same. The only change to the case came with the 4R100. A couple of sensors. Thats it.

Sorry to ask but what is a 4R100 ???

 

[OLDBULL8]

4R100 is the tranny on the 99 I think and up.

99 and up the E4OD was replaced with the 4R100. Same tranny, but different.
