Another E4OD hard shift issue
Ok, my friend has a 95 F250 with E40D trans. The intake sprung a leak and had to be replaced. He took it into a local shop and in their defense they are usually pretty dang good on Fords.
They replaced the intake and he went to pick it up and it now shifts really hard in most gears. The truck shifted perfectly prior to the intake change.
They changed something in the instrument cluster they said had to do with the shifting but the problem came back in just a few days. I suspect they did something during the intake change that they haven't been able to find. The truck has been in their shop for 2 months now. The owner picked it up the other day, drove around the block and bang into gear again. The owner said they could not repeat it. Well, he drove it the same day and banged into gear for him. He put a code reader on it and managed to capture something he told the owner. Not sure if they have looked at it since.
Anything you would recommend they look at that might have been done during the intake change?

Guess I should have passed that along. lol 351 engine, the shop didn't tell him the code they saw. I will see if he can get it.
