I have no gears on my E4od trans.
I did some work on my 1994 f150 yesterday. Bled brakes, installed rear driveshaft, worked on drivers door. Started the truck and went to move it and it wouldn't shift with the shifter. It was like the shifter had a problem in the column. I disconnected the cable at the trans to shift it and shifted it manually. I moved the shift lever from park to low several times. Truck wouldn't shift into gear. No gears. It's almost like the transfer case is in neutral, but it can't be because it's a electronic transfer case, no neutral. It has no gears at all. Last week I started it and it went right into gear and was strong. I had some guy here helping me last week. He went to move the truck a little bit and the truck had no brakes. He got nervous when the truck moved and slammed it into park. He was barely moving . It did the tic,tic,tic noise then caught park. Like I said, he was barely moving. Could that have broke something in the E4od ? Is there something electrical that would cause me to have NO gears? The lever when I move it, has barely any resistance.

There is NOTHING electrical that can cause no gears.
With the trans in park, will it roll or does park hold it? If it rolls, then the trans is fine and something happened to either the transfer case or the rear axle. If it holds, the problem is inside the transmission.
Does it have fluid?

No , it won't roll. It's in park for sure. And like I said , I removed the cable at the tranny and shifted it by hand. There is hardly any resistance to move the lever.

I really hate to reply when Mark K is on line.
If you manually shift to low, does the park gear pawl still hold you from manually moving the truck?
If you leave the shift lever in low position and try to drive the truck, does it act like it is in neutral or does it act like it is in low with your foot on the brakes?

The shift linkage going into the transmission from the linkage you removed the shift cable from must be broken somewhere inside the transmission. Hopefully it can be repaired through the pan opening without removing the transmission. Hoping to hear from Mark.

Ok. Got that figured out. Dropped the pan and found a nut in the pan. The nut had come off the linkage inside the pan. Put the nut back on and refilled tranny. Works as it should. Had me sweatin for a bit.
