E4OD Replace or Just repair?

Okay I have a 1996 FSB with a 5.0. Me being as smart as i am decided to go play in loose rock and put a whole in the transmission which happens to be the E4OD. I was in luck that it didn't put to big of a whole in it but i did loose reverse by the time i got 3 miles down the road to where i was going. I put some Fluid in it and it pretty much just poured right out. So should i attempt to repair what i have with better parts or just find one at some junk yard? If i do get one at a junk yard what will fit? Ive been a Chevy guy most of my life so i really don't know much about Ford products. If you guys and I'm sure gals can help me out that would be great.

If the hole was punched in the CASE, and not the Pan, then you are looking at another trans. Transferring parts from case to case is a total rebuild.

Ditto to what Torky said. If you go in search of a used E4OD don't go any older than 94 unless the unit was rebuilt post 94.

Just purchased a 95 Bronco, my second. My first was a 85 which I did mad mods to and which a friend rolled w/ me in it doing 120 mph on the 610 in Houston.( NO ONE HURT, WE JUST WALKED AWAY...WHAT AN AMAZING TRUCK) He's not my friend anymore!
I'm looking for information on a roll bar that would go behind the rear bench that I could attach the shoulder harness for the seat belts to. Do they make them or would I have to Fab one up? Also what would be the best riding suspension. I've had rancho and superlifts in other trucks. Just want other opinions ie: air ride, skyjacker........
Thanks for your input. Just getting started on the mods to this one

dv,

Welcome to FTE and the Big Bronco Forum. Start a new thread if you would. Mike's questions about transmissions will get lost if another topic tries to co-exist here. Again, welcome.
