I think you are talking to me but mark was addressing mr dogbreath. If I'm wrong I'm not sure what ya mean help me
My bad.... Hey, DOGBREATH! Oh, never mind................. :-huh Pop |
Great discussion info on torque converters...wait where am I again:-huh little different to be posting in the 7.3 (proud new f250 sd) forum when I have always posted in the old 6.9 forum on FTE. Think I might have a tc on it's way out and this thread has been helpful. What caught my attention was the bands warping and causing heat issues from slipping. I believe this is what I'm seeing with heat issues, are there any other symptoms like shudder?

I am sorry I am not more help I am finally getting a handle on the hard parts of the 4r100 and t.c. but I still have alot to learn as far as the actual hydraulic applications and electronics that go with the programming. Have you been able to pull any codes? |
I'm no expert either just trying to learn what I'm dealing with to be informed and help make those expensive decision a little smarter. I've started my own thread rather than hijacking this one with my issues. Would be grateful to hear from some of the experts on my woes https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post12256155

Put a few hundred miles on the new TC and seal now... so far so good. Fun part was putting transmission back on jack after it's slow motion rollover trick. Now onto worn out drag link. Got my fingers crossed I don't resort back to the f250 marking it's territory with ATF!

To be honest I don't know why I am so fixated on why these 4R100 torque converters are such a problem. So for those of you that want to get a handle on why there are issues and what leads up to failure of the t.c. you might find this a good read. It is a write up by Bob Warnke. http://www.sonnax.com/system/pdfs/10...pdf?1289926275
So for you guys that think just replacing the torque converter will cure you problem. As you can see from the flow charts that are posted in this write up the torque converter failure could just be the end result of flow issues. |
Ed, you should call and talk to John Wood about the 4R100 torque converters. He's got loads of info.

Stewart I actually have a trans and torque converter combo that I put together that is working nicely. But down the road I would like to up grade my 3disc billet t.c. with a billet piston ( John makes his own) and a custom billet stator. Which I don't know what he uses. But you are right I should give him a call someday since he is the only guy in the know that would be willing to answer my questions. But I'll wait until I am closer to spending some money with him. Which will be in about 26k when I do my first fuild change. Then I need to fine tune my accumulator for 2-3 shift and am thinking about seeing what he would do different with the valve body I have modded myself. Or just buy his v.b. but the problem is I am so close to having my trans shift so sweet already with stock tunes. That I only need very little to have it to my liking. But I too feel John Woods is the guy to talk to. I like the way he goes at things and is always helpful to guys even if they aren't spending a ton of money. That makes him a little better than the rest :-X22 |
So like the e40d's were these transmissions made better as time went on. Will my 03 have the same issues? I have read most of the thread but not the whole thing and it is mostly about the e99

As an update my TC and seal are hanging in like a champ.
