Those are pretty sophisticated trannys. Maybe that's why it got sold. It's definitely in the mileage range to need it. I unhooked my battery to reset mine cause it was shifting too hard. Didn't do any good. It's sending full line pressure meaning rebuild in near future.

I had a 1992 f150 xlt with the e4od. after burning up 7 transmissions I decided to sell it. after it was sold i talk to a ford tech. it seems that there was service bullitin sent out to ford garages about changing the trans. for a newer modle e4od as the originals did not have a center support ( an experiment by ford). I sold mine after the trans locked into reverse while I was driving it forward at about 35mph!!!. although it should have been a recall item ford elected to inform only their dealer garages. check with your locall dealer to see if your truck falls under the service bulliten
