My 2002 E250 5.4L, only 65,000 miles, threw these three codes:

P0743 - Torque Converter Electrical Circuit
P0755 - Shift Solenoid B Malfunction
P1747 Electronic Pressure Control Solenoid - Short circuit

I did notice a lot of metal particles in pan when i changed the solenoids, some resembled small parts of needle type bearings? i mean a lot of particles rather big. Big enough to not be on the magnet. Probably transmission is toast? Tranny out at 65k miles? Whats up with that?

The tranny is grinding and jumping out of gear when I drive it. Stalls when stopped just horrible sounds.

I just started back to work after being off for almost a year. Murphys law...

I changed out the solenoids but it did nothing and still have the same codes. My Over drive button (TCIL) on gearshifter has not worked for at least a year but van ran fine. So when the solenoid codes popped up and the fact the van is barely driveable i checked the TCIL. I did have a short and /or open circuit the wire comin down the gearshifter which had rubbed raw as you move up and down on the gear shifter. Well i got all new shifter that came with wiring and switch. Replaced the solenoid but no improvement.


Any help would be great because I am stumped and this is my work van so every day not on the road I am losing money.

Getting ready to have van towed to Ford dealer...

Please Help anyone

Thanks

Not an expert but from your detailed description I would think you need a new/rebuilt transmission and torque converter, unfortunately.
Hopefully some of the trans experts will give an opinion but can`t see it being much different.
