Unhappy 1994 e4od trans issue

I have a 94 f-250 with the e4od trans, seems to shift fine, but has no overdrive, and sometimes seems to slam into second or third gear, I replaced the mlps, and disconnested the batteries for about a half hour, but still does the same thing, also its is sometimes sluggish from a dead stop, other times it pulls strong, I am just about at my wits end with it does anyone have any suggestions?

Check for codes:Ford Fuel Injection » How To Run a Self-Test to see what the PCM thinks is wrong. Many times there can be a stored code without have a Check Engine Light on.

Warm up the engine and transmission then check for codes using the procedure outlined above, or purchase a code reader.

thanks for the reply, I had it to the trans shop, it has no codes,they told me it was just plain broke,but I was told there is a solinoid block inside the trans that is usually the problem, and it can be purchased for around 100.00 and is pretty easy to change, so I may try that,has anyone had any luck changing one?

Does your speedometer work OK and no problems when using speed control and the RABS light is never on?

IMHO if it was a solenoid issue you would have codes. The PCM looks for the proper impedance of those solenoids that make up the solenoid block.

Here is a link for how to test the solenoids with a DVM: E4OD Solenoid Test - FSB Forums

If you have 1st, 2nd and 3rd working OK then your shift solenoids are OK.
Those values in that link are not right for a 1994 E4OD.
