if she's slipping Josh,then your clutch packs are likely the problem,not the converter.
the converter may very well have failed,causing excessive heat,which lead to the failure of the clutches sure.but a new converter now,wont fix that problem.
time for a rebuild/replacement im afraid.

i don't recall exactly,but i think you claimed this E40D has some serious miles on her and has likely served a few owners well now.

Hey Rupe,

A harbor freight 800# trans jack makes R&Ring the tranny a snap. Don't know if yours is a 4X4, makes it a little more difficult.

I would just pull it and rebuild it. The E40D is a pretty simple rebuild should take you about 5 hours if you have never done it before.

Hi, just R&R the E40D in my son's 95psd because of a broken adapter plate not a real
difficult job,but there is a bump out on bottom of tran's. that makes it hard as it wants to lay on its side,pulled with transfer case on tranny. What i meant about the bump out is
that with a tranny with flat bottom you can use adjustment screws to line up bolt holes.

Every trans guy SAYS you need special tools.....that's not generally true. Pertaining to the sump on the E4OD trans pan.....just shove some 2x4's or 1x4's to cradle it in the trans jack...
