Which E4OD?
Hello All, having never been into an E4OD, I have a quandary. I have an F-350 with a 460 engine with the E4OD trans. the trans works fine, but wouldn't go into park. I pulled the pan and tail housing and found that the thrust washer behind the park wheel had broken and dropped down to obstruct the pawl from engaging. I have no problem in tearing into a C-6 on back, but the E4OD, I'm not so sure. I had considered just pulling the trans and replacing it with a used one. I can find all kinds of trannies, but NOT the '89 to '91 that I'm told is what is needed because of the electronics. I have been told that the '87 to '97 will work but I have to swap out the electronics? is this so, and how much of a mess is that to do? OR, someone told me that it is possible to use the 4X4 trans by putting on my tail housing? doesn't sound right to me, but what do I know? any pointers????

Swapping the electronics is much easier than swapping the transmission. Remove the pan, unbolt the solenoid body, and pull it out. The hard part is that the oring the seals the connector to the case can stick, making it hard to pull out. That's the worst part of the swap.
You cannot use a 4x4 unless you also change the output shaft. EVERYTHING must come out of the transmission to change the output shaft.
