E40d Question
Hello Everyone...
I need some information on replacing the busted transmission in a 1994 F250 2wd witha 5.8 motor.
I know that it has a "e" code for the transmission on data plate. It has overdrive button on the shift lever.
Now, I have found another E40d, but it has come out of a 1995 Ford E-150 van...and said it has the O/D is also on the shift lever. Also he states that this will fit the following: Ford E40D Transmission E-150, E-250, F-150, F-250
In searching for this transmission, I have found statements stating this:
from 89 to 97 and series F150,250,350 & 450 using 4.9 , 5.0 , 5.8 , 7.5 and 7.3
That the E40d will interchange...
I thought these used different bolt/bell housings.... In know way, am I an expert.... But
Anyway, if someone can enlighten me on who, what, when and where... and save me from pulling out my hair.....
Of by chance someone happens to know where I can find a reasonable deal.... I am completely open

Ok, to use the '95 trans you may need to update the MLPS sensor, and it will need to be a 4.9/5.0/5.8 trans, as the 7.5(460), and 7.3 diesel have different bellhousings. '95 was the year that ford redesigned the E4OD and made it stronger, I think they also went to a new MLPS (manual lever position sensor, tells the computer what gear you're in, and controls the backup lights and neutral safety switch).

You may have to swap your shift lever and shaft, I know they were different between the E's and F's in the 80's. Also they had different length tail shaft housings, also look at the rear motor mount, it may not match up with the cross member. If it is a different over all length your drive shaft may not work.
This is all because the engine sets further back in the frame on a van than a truck so they had to shorten the output shaft of the transmission.
I am talking about vans in the 80's I do not know if Ford tried to standardize the transmissions in the 90's.
Make sure the transmission was behind a 5.0 or 5.8 engine.

Some Info.
The E4OD has seen many changes and updates since its introduction in 1989
# Improved (thicker) converter clutch piston (circa 1994), prevents the formation of cracks which relieve fluid pressure from the apply side of the clutch, causing it to slip and even bluing the outside surface of the torque converter in extreme cases. Ensure that your new converter contains an updated OEM or "LuK" brand heavy-duty clutch. This can be difficult, as many torque converter suppliers and remanufacturers may not use this new style of clutch.
# Higher displacement front pump (for 1995) provides more fluid capacity for faster engagement of reverse and greater lube flow.
# New (for 1994) 4-pinion overdrive planet and input shaft assemblies replace older 3 and 4 pinion units which tend to develop cracks in the carrier under heavy loads.
# Center support update kit (for units built from 1989 through part of 1994) replaces wear-prone bushing with a ball bearing and contains a new overdrive stub shaft.
# Stronger overdrive clutch cylinder snap ring which will not dislodge.
# Revised sun gear and rear case bushings (circa 1992 model year) provide longer wear life and better lubrication.
# Four pinion planet carriers (first used in 1992 model year)
# New forward clutch friction plates with hardened internal splines cure "chatter" and "no-drive" conditions in E4OD and some later C-6 transmissions.
