1995 trans change
i want to change my automatic transmission in my 95 f150, and find a better one than an E4OD, which is what it has. It has an overdrive on/off button on the gear selector on the steering column. The engine is a v8 with a 5.0L.

might try pulling codes before having any transmission work done. If you don't have a code reader,you can do it like this Ford Fuel Injection » How To Run a Self-Test the tranny slamming into gear could be a sensor issue. If not,and you need to have the tranny rebuilt,there are updates to the e4od to make it much stronger.

update
i now know i have an E4OD trans. i recently installed a tach because it looked cool and noticed that when im going 30 mph the tach says 1800-1900 rpms and it'll stay like that till i hit the OD button on the shifter. now, if i noticed that if i go 30 mph at the same rpms, but slightly ease off the gas and back on, the rpms will drop to like 1500-1600 rpms and as i reach 40 mph, the rpms will be at like 1800 rpms, hit the OD button, and the rpms drop to 1200 or 1300 rpms, which i think is normal. i changed the oil and filled the trans. i filled both differentials which were half empty, filled my transfer case which was empty.i have a manual, but its not too usefull, only a parts swap and replacement guide.
Also, i found i have 2 true hair thin cracks in my passenger side shorty header and a crack in where it connects to the y-pipe. im trying to find a site that sells them and a y with an O2 sen. mount before the catalytic before they connect but with no luck.

i tried pulling the codes a while ago and i remember something about the purge canister having a closed circut and the MAS voltage being too high and another code telling me i didn't hit the OD button, but i dont know when to hit it after a certain code type is given. my step-dad let me use his code puller but didn't bother to give me thenstruction and code book. i know theres another test that requires measuring either the temp. or the speed of the engine, i didn't have anything that can do either. im just gonna try to take it in somewhere.
