E4od problem... HELP!!??

I have a 93 f250 7.3 with the e4od....

The od light flashes... I have a great reverse but when I put the sucker in D it feels like I'm trying to burn out in 4wd. But when I put it in 2 or 1, it seems to be a tad sluggish but it gets er going. It feels like I have only 2nd and 3rd but they feel weak. I replaced the solenoid pack and I still have this problem. Once in a great great great blue moon, I can get 1st, 3rd and of. But no 2nd, unless if I manually put it in 2, then let off the pedal and put it back in D it goes to 3rd then of/4th. When it does seem to work... Somewhat fine... It goes from 1st and slams into 3rd and about 30-35 mph, it slams into 4th and toys back and forth into 3rd-4th and then it goes back into limp dick mode. I took it all over, within a 100 mi radius to have the trans read and no body will read it because its too old. And I honestly can't afford to throw too much $ at it... 21 and paying for a house and 93 acres don't leave you with much money. Help??

You know, if a E4DOA forum was ever spun off on its own this forum would be pretty quiet.

It takes a super cheap code reader to pull codes from the E4OD:

Amazon.com: INNOVA 3145 Ford Digital Code Reader: Automotive Amazon.com: INNOVA 3145 Ford Digital Code Reader: Automotive

And here's some reading:

E40D FIPL/TPS

It only takes a paper clip to check for codes.
