Transmission problems
Hi, I have a 1996 F250 with a 351 Windsor. It has a e4od transmission, and it will not shift out of 1st unless I do it manually. If I put it back into drive it will stay in 2nd and drop back into 1st when I slow down enough but it won’t come back out of 1st until I shift it manually again. Does anyone have any ideas to what is wrong?

No 1-2 up shift, can be a large list of possibilities. If you're not getting any codes, post back and if you feel comfortable dropping the pan and removing valve bodies, I can help direct you if you want.

75%-90% E4 problems in these things are electrical.
Damaged wiring/connectors, miss-adjusted/failing MLPS, computers failing with leaky capacitors.
As said, read codes. No codes, trans codes or a boat-load? Open computer, inspect for leaky capacitors.
Repair/replace. Inspect PSOM as well.
Free advice from someone who rebuilt an E4 & had the same problems after.

Good luck.

I would inspect and clean the connector going into the E4OD transmission
See if the connector is full of trans fluid
You really need a NGS to check trans codes (easily) on a 1996
I advise too, that you get the codes read, anyhow, anyway you can
