Lightbulb first thing to check, before spending money....

Sounds almost like the VSS sensor I had issues with in my truck is acting up again. VSS = vehicle speed sensor.

Do a search in this forum, I have posted a few times regarding that (no time to type, at work)...

Thumbs up E4OD Transmission

Well got the trany fixed instead of a new transmision they found electric problems (2) broken ground connectors now it shifts as good as new and only cost $299.80 for a diagnostic Fee And to repair the gound straps whole lot better than replaceing the trans.

My issues seem to have been mostly the TPS sensor.
I pulled codes and found it was higher or lower then it should be. Checked it out, sure enough it was way to low....

Got that solved 2 weeks ago.

Now I am getting a code 62. Converter clutch error (E4OD)
It almost feels like the tranny is slipping after the engine is up over 2000 RPM as well in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear.

How the heck do I test the MLPS?
I want to test this before I look at replacing the TC.
BTW - '94 F350 7.3L, e4od auto.

Those trany are weird sometimes. On mine they had to change the springs in the soleinoid pack because it was shifting to hard. Now it is smoooooth, may be toooo smooth, will see in a few years if I have worn plates.

WATCHER, I have a few questions for you, first off, do you have a side shot of your truck? if so can you email it to me? NauticaEE@aol.com next, whats the rear gear on your truck and the transmission code? I have a 93 5 speed i want to change over to automatic and i want to make sure i grab the right transmission, Also, if i put 3 inch piping from the headers straight to the stacks with one muffler in between, then the 5 inch stacks will that be too big? Not enough back pressure? thanks for all the help!
