replacing 93 E4OD tranny
HI Everyone!
I bought a 93 F250XL 4X4 5.8L E4OD with 133K miles last fall. Last month While towing my Wrangler, the Tranny blew front seals and pewked out all the fluid 100 miles from home.
I am installing a remanufactured E4OD that is upgraded to 1997 specs. I remember reading somewhere that I should replace the MLPS and PCM.
The MLPS replacement makes since,going to new style with gaskets. My major concern with the replacement is how to align it. The only thing I have been able to find was a forum blurb that told me to start raised truck and place tranny in reverse. Then I should adjust sensor to center of range that causes the backuip lights to come on. Is this correct?
The PCM replacement confuses me. Can't I just have it reprogrammed? Remember my F250 is a '93. Please help me fill in the blanks so that I have a better understanding of the problems that require an updated PCM.
Thanks for your help!

mlps change is a good idea
I dont think you need to change the pcm though
everything I have read does not indicate that the pcm needs any upgrades
check out www.fordfuelinjection.com as they have
a section dedicated to the e4od and its electronics

I can see the alignment lines on the new MLPS, the problem is my son had to drop the pan and swap the manual shift lever shafts between trannies. The new tranny had a one peice lever and shaft (wrong lever and orientation) so I don't know where neutral position is on manual shift lever. Right now, The lever is at 12 o'clock and the switch is aligned to it's marks and the hold down bolts (2) are centered in the MLPS slots.
I'll just have to make sure I don't start it unless the wheels are off the ground.
Thanks for the feedback!
