95 trans question.
an old customer from the body shop called yesterday, his truck lost forward gears. i went with the trailer and towed it over to the shop, sure enough, no forward gears, just park and reverse.
he is the original owner and only driver, and he has put 347,000 miles on it without any problems. trans was always serviced at 30k miles.
i spent the afternoon looking for a trans for this truck, and everyone says the 95 E4OD was a one year only trans, and that no other trans will work in the truck.
can anyone confirm this?
i have only found one 95 trans in Connecticut for $1000 with no guarantee, besides the Jasper rebuilds for $3000.
if the 95 is in fact a one year only trans, what is the difference between it and the 96-97 trans?

Tom, here is a thread in which Mark K. answers a similar question:

Apparently, you should be good with any 95-97 E4OD. I know the E4OD went to a 6 stud torque converter on the PSDs in 95, while the IDIs had a 4 stud torque converter.

A comparison of the '95 EVTM vs. whatever year the donor is coming from should answer that question. Other years may have different pinouts at the PCM end, but I doubt the tranny connectors are different. If I don't forget.... I'll post the '95 EVTM pages of the connector faces.

no, because i have no idea what they are talking about. just that everyone says the 95 is a one year only trans because it has a square plug and all others have a round plug, or the reverse.
i said well give me a trans with the plug and i will rewire it and was told that will not work.
i want to just toss a 5 speed in it and be done, but the owner is a disabled vet, he lost his left leg in Nam and can not drive a stick. plus he is on a limited budget and can not afford a $3000 rebuild, let alone a new truck.

If I had a '95 auto trans Tom, I'd get it to, but I don't. I have two '97s....I think. I will keep my eyes and ears open though.

Tom, that's awesome that you're helping out a disabled vet. Do you own your own auto repair shop, or are you just doing the repair on the side? I am a disabled vet (not a Purple Heart recipient) so I'm familiar with the challenges your customer faces.
Let us know how it turns out.

Ah shoot, I forgot about the EVTM; I'll check it tonight, and hopefully have time to scan the relevant pages.
Oh -- I bet I know where the "one-year-only" legend comes from. SOME early PSDs actually shipped with C6s. They would have a completely different connector. Maybe someone saw that, and extrapolated it to some notion that the '95s were "different" from other years. I really have a hard time believing that there's any difference, as long as both trucks are E4ODs.

I do not want to provide misinformation, but I do not believe there is a different connector at all.
My brothers 95 received a donor trans out of a 97 last winter in my shop and all was plug and play. Only way I could see that to exist if the 97 had a 95 trans, or his truck was updated as it was replaced by ford 9 years ago. I just can't see them rewiring the connector, nor making a different connector for just one year, but I don't want to say so for certain.

he got very sick a few years ago and i stepped in to keep the shop going while he was recuperating.
i still hang at the shop and help when and where i can, but as age has advanced so have the health issues, so there is not much physical work i can do anymore. .

all these places are saying the 95 E4OD is the one with the different connections.
