e4od transmission problems

I have a 1991 bronco with a 351w and the e4od trans.. The transmission is shifting late and hard and sometimes when i let off of the gas to slow down it shifts between gears up and down by itself... The only lights on the dash that are on is the Rear Anti-lock brake light and the speedometer is not working either.. Any ideas on where to start the trouble shooting to fix it? Thanks

Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test Here is a link on how to get any trouble codes (even if no light on). Do that first, I would think.
Could also buy equus3145 code reader for around $25.00 to make life easier.

The trans won't shift right if the speedometer isn't working OR if the ABS light is on. Most likely your vehicle speed sensor is bad.

Speedo is cable driven so possibly a cable problem for speedo rather than VSS. Trouble codes may tell.
