E4OD went dead

I just bought a 1995 Rexhall motorhome that the previous owners thinks the transmssion is blown. She said she was driving on interstate doing 70 then she heard a loud pop, thought it was a back fire then it just coast to a stop. Now when you put it in gear reverse or forward it does nothing. It has not leaked any fluid and the drivelines are fine. It is coupled to a 460. Does anyone have any ideas or does it sound like the tranny. I'm pretty sure it has a E4OD. Thanks for any help, Dan.

First thing to do is put it in Park with the parking brake off and see if it will roll forward or back.

Or a safer method... Set the parking brake, Chock the wheels, Put it in Neutral and try turning the drive shaft by hand.

-Enjoy

Check the fluid level with the engine running and engine off, if the fluid level drops with the engine running then the pump is working.

Another thing I have seen in E4ODs, especially in motor homes is the input shaft can strip the splines or crack the spline hub on the overdrive planet, this will cause a sudden no movement. There is a updated planet out there that will prevent this, so make sure you have this planet replaced when or if it needs to be overhauled.

Interesting,
I went ahead and pulled the transmission, it's at the local transmisssion shop. I should know in a couple of days. It's not the drive shaft or rear end for sure. Drive shafts solid.
