Unhappy 4R100(e4od)

I have a 4r100 in a 2001 E350, when it is commanded to shift into 4th gear it spins out and makes a noise like a someone ran over a bobcat. I mean a real loud squeal. This is a work van with wind noise and rattles and can be heard over that. I have the trans out and tore down and cannot find any parts bad. I was fiquring on finding a planet bad. All clutches look good, band is not burnt, roller clutches are ok and sprag looks ok. I cannot make myself believe this problem lies in the torque converter. It would seem to me if the torque converter was the problem is would make a noise all the time and not just going into 4th.

Thanks for any advise or help

Alan

The torque converter is going to try to lock going into fourth gear. It's probably a bad torque converter lockup clutch. It's not replaceable, you need to repalce the torque converter.

Thank for your input Mark. After looking alittle closer i found the overdrive roller clutch roller's freat'ed. Going to overhaul completly and replace the mechanical diode with a sprag and od roller clutch, converter, add a external cooler and see what happens.
