Lost all gears E4OD

So here's the skinny.
Been having to turn off the OD till about 45mph, then hit the button and then it will shift. Then about 2 weeks ago, I round a corner and start accelerating and it just revs the engine, no gear works not even reverse. So far I drained the tranny fluid replaced the shift solenoid and filter, refilled it and replaced the VSS. And nothing. Thanks in advance for the help

The tranny is shot. Time for a rebuild.

yep X2....

the OD one way Clutch failed first then when you were able to get it to move with the OD Canceled that is because it was using the Coast Clutch which is really only for braking and it's a small pack so now it has failed... the coast clutch is energized when the OD is Canceled, or when Manual 1st or 2nd is selected.

Also Failed torque converter causes loss of both forward and Reverse.

As you found out none of that could possibly cause your problem. Something mechanical has failed inside the trans. This trans is all done.

Full transmission with new torque converter and new cooler.

If you just replace the torque converter the trans still won't operate. But it will fill the new converter with debris from the failed transmission, and then you'll need to replace the torque converter again when you rebuild the trans.

Is there any type of rebuild other than a full rebuild? Do people rebuild just part of the transmission? Why would someone do that?

That's the right way to do it.

A master rebuild kit that says it is for a 1994 diesel E4OD will be correct.

I had to ask

but yeah ... something too tight, did you have to replace any Hard Goods ?
maybe incorrect shimming ...
I've also seen case where drums were not seated into all the clutch discs too.

of course it won't spin with just a flip of the fingers, but it should turn fairly easy.... I use the ATP assembly lube along with Tranny fluid when I put em together too so they are not Dry.
