i have a 93 f-150 4x4 5.0 AOD my reverse gear slips badly, sometimes it catches enough to move me, most of the time it doesnt grab. Changed filter, added fluid, put in fluid conditioner, out of ideas
can anyone help me???

 

sounds like a rebuild is in need, i feel for you my E4OD is slipping in reverse and overdive. Fords getting 2200 with 3yr/36000 mile warrenty, but its top knotchwith all the updates and service bulletins done.

 

2200 is alot... im hoping i can get a rebuild done reliably and take the risk of running cheaper... but then again theres nothing like a warranty

 

Well its about 900 more than if i have the local place do the overhaul, but you only get 1 yr/12 miles and who knows if they cover all the updates. i know the 93 E4OD has a laudry list of updates like oil pump, torque converter, 4 pinion carrier etc.

 

think i got my problems solved... im have a mechanic look at it and tell me if its a simple fix or the tranny is gone... then if it is gone i found an aod tranny from a neighbor for 75$ so ill be back on the road in no time... not much of a warranty by it should get me by until i get my ducks in a row and see about putting a 4 speed out of an 84 bronco, one of the true 4's not the 3 w/overdrive... im just not sure what i need to do there... its a big job swapping auto for manual tranny
any thoughts or maybe links to swapping sights that you know about??
thanks
