E4OD, and YIKES!
Well I'm a bit of a newbie to the world of transmissions... I have a 93 Bronco with what I think is a E4OD.. the problem is recently the tranni just start puking out fluid while I was on a trip home.. I had no idea what was wrong.. the fluid was pretty burned up... It brought up a lot of questions.. like:
Should I get a Tranni Cooler?
What is a good Tranni Temp meter?
Is there a better fluid to be using then ATF-Dexron III/Mercon?
Why would my tranni stick in second gear and have trouble dropping into 3rd?
I have 33" BFG, s this going to be a problem?
Basically I put in more fluid and it seems like its ok now.. I just went out and abused the hell out of it... spinning the wheels, accelerationg hard, start and stops like traffic... straight 80mph runs... and it looks like its holding up... Whats going on? Is there anything I'm missing? What things can I do to a tranni to make it shift better? be more durable? is the heat really a problem? what is a normal tranni temp?
Basically I need alot of help... let me know please I'd appreciate it... I've even considered going back to a manual tranni.. is it a hard conversion? can it be done at all? which tranni shold I look at?
Thanks in advance!

P.S. I have a stock 302EFI, and stock t-cases too. nothing's really changed except the tires.
