E4OD friction modifier
I have seen various posts about using a friction modifier in the E4OD for the torque converter clutch. This was not specified in my haynes manual. Is this friction modifier standard or is it used as a band aid fix? I am curious b/c my truck shifts out of OD really easy and I am wondering if I should put the friction modifier in it.
Thanks,
Dave

I've read the thing and the additive can be bought at any parts store but I would suggest using the ford product.
I also recall the ford was suggesting the additive to be used but I can not recall why. I' sure there is a service bullentin out there some where regarding it.

The FM can be useful in the event of a slipping friction material. The FM makes it a bit "stickier" and aids reducing the slippage.
If your tranny is shifting in and out of OD, it's doing so under the control of the computer which rules out a friction issue.
