I would recommend putting your money towards a chip instead of a shift kit. Lot less work and it will deliver more of what you want (better shifts and no rev limiter).

Your tranny is most likely the E40D. I think there is a tag on the side of your tranny that labels it as such.

98 F250LD 4X4

If you look on your door jamb and find the code for the trans. you can call your local dealer. i hav a 97f250 ld 4.6/4x4, the trans code is U and my dealer stated that it was a 4R70W transmission.

If your pan on your trani is around 20 inches long it is the E40D, if it is around 15 it is the 4R70W

If you find out that you have the E4OD, then I've got 4 brand new B&M Electronic Shiftplus kits available if you are interested? They are easy to hookup=two wires to the PCM. Can be installed in 30-45 minutes without taking the transmission apart!
Shoot me an email if interested.
