transmission, controller questions ?

what is the serial number of RF-F4AP-7006-AC transmission?

will a 4R70W fit a 1995 ford f350 with a 4.9L?

what is a standalone transmission controller and what does it do. Plus where does it connects at?
(1995 Ford F-350, Inline 6)

Can you use a standalone transmission controller with a computer controlled engine?

Will the PCM from a E4OD work on a 4R70W, the 4R70W is from a 95 Lincoln with a 4.6L will it work in a 95 Ford F-350 with a 4.9L, if not can I use the standalone transmission controller for the transmission? Or do I need the PCM from the Lincoln to make the 4R70W work?

Um, you'll need to be more specific. Year, make, model, engine displacement, transmission type, 2 or 4 wheel drive.

And, why would you need a serial number? Wouldn't that be embossed on the trans, if it had a serial number?

Something odd about that post . . .

Maybe he means model number? As in, here's the casting number on the case, does anyone know what transmission it is?

There are much better ways to figure out what transmission you have though.

It is a automatic 4R70W transmission.

OK, newbie questions, so go gentle here guys. We all have to learn sometime.

As to bolt patterns, they are usually defined by engine. Transmissions can be supplied in many bolt patterns to suit the engine. There is no specific bolt pattern for 4R70W or E4OD or by year.

Technically yes, but that F350 was likely fitted with an E4OD if it was originally equipped with an AT.

Slow down a little here. Perhaps explain why you need to consider a stand alone transmission controller? This is engine and/or transmission swap territory.

No. You just listed a whole pile of incompatible parts. 4R70W does not use the same controller logic as the E4OD and they are not interchangeable. 4.6 modular V8 uses a different bolt pattern from the 4.9 six and the transmission will not physically fit.

I was talking about pan bolt patterns, not bellhousing patterns, but I see we're getting into that anyway.

Ford Transmission Pan Shapes

As someone else said, you won't be able to use a 4R70W from behind a 4.6L engine without a bellhousing adapter and a standalone transmission controller. It would be a very custom job and a poor choice of one at that, as the 4R70W is weaker than the E4OD.

The PCM controls both the engine and the transmission in most Fords, and you need one PCM that works with both, or a standalone controller for the transmission, although the second is an expensive and complicated option.

What you need to do is get another E4OD transmission to replace the one that failed. You are trying to put a square peg in a round hole with the 4R70W.

I seem to recall the very early 4.6L modular engines have the small-block bellhousing pattern.

Cut from a Wiki article:

Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's.

200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern.
250 I6
255 V8
289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block
302 Cleveland (Australia)
351 Cleveland V8 (not the 351 Cleveland M-block engine)
351 Boss
351 Cobra Jet
302 Windsor V8
351 Windsor V8
400 Cleveland M-block V8 aka 400FMX (certain 1973 casting numbers D1AE and D3AE, mated to the FMX transmission)
3.8/3.9/4.2L Canadian Essex 90° V6 (RWD only)
240 I6
300 I6
4.6L Modular V8 (first two casting runs, numbers F1AE and F2VE)
5.0L Windsor V8
5.8L Windsor V8

Yes you can also the E4OD/302 combination is pretty rare.

I agree with Andy. Most 5L trucks came with the 4R70W transmission in 1995. On the other hand Broncos were E4OD.

my transmission shifts good but it acts like it wants to keep moving while its in gear at a stop sign or red light, I have to put the truck in neutral to keep the truck from going. Is that the torque converter or electrical
