So as a followup to my other thread of replacing the solenoid pack..
My business partner had to move the truck today.
The problem was that the 9 pin connector was not plugged in.
He said it felt like the tranny was stuck in high gear.
I came back to a small puddle under the tranny.
He moved it about thirty feet up a slight incline

So my question is, did he do any damage?
Looking underneath, It looks like theres fluid dripping from the front (tourque converter housing and rear seal out of the transfer case.

Should I kill him???

 

It's probably undamaged. It was in fourth gear.

 

he should have tossed it in 4 lo and shifted it manually into 1.would have crawled effortlessly for him.without power to the trans,the D position will be high gear.manual 1/2 however will still provide low gear starts.
don't kill him.just maim him.perhaps a left eye will suffice.

 

Why do you think its leaking trans fluid now?
Did starting in 4th gear over pressurize the pump?

I pulled the solenoid pack today.
Going to get a filter and gasket this week.
Any recommendations on the trans fluid?
Type F?

 

How in the world would starting in fourth gear overpressurize the pump? What exactly is overpressurizing the pump? I don't understand.

It could have leaked some trans fluid because driving away in fourth gear can get the torque converter quite hot, and that can make the torque converter hub seal leak. The seal will usually work fine again once it cools off.

If you put Type F in this trans have the money ready to buy a new trans. You'll need one.

Use MERCON V fluid.

 

Thanks Mark.

Not sure that s why I asked about the over pressurizing.
Big thanks about the fluid.

 

With the plug on the passenger side unplugged the E4OD transmission will go to max pressure (no pressure control from the PCM Computer).
Max pressure would not hurt the E4OD transmission.

 

Thank you .
