E4OD replacement

1991 F250 4x4:

About a week ago it was really cold in IA, about -25, and one of my cooler lines came loose and I lost all my fluid, and I believe the trans burned up because after refilling it with fluid it slips really bad now.

I think Im going to just replace it with another one and not rebuild the one I have, my question is will any 87-96 E4OD from a 4x4 work for my application?

After your test drive was the oil at the same level during Ideal?

yeah, Ive actually driven it a 3 times now, and each time I check the fluid level hot while in "P" as directed, so Im confident it has the correct amount of fluid in it.

If it where me I would pull the tyranny pan, to have a look see. when the clutches burn up you will see metallic particles. new clutch kit cost about $180.00 they are easy to rebuild. just got be carful pulling the tyranny manifold. the hardest part is the R&R.

their are a lot of other smart people here that probably help much better then I can.

E4ODs are not easy to rebuild, and require a few specialized tools to gear to the rear-most clutches. The valve-bodies are easy to mess up too.
