93 E40D into 95???
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a 95 F-450 Super duty with a 7.3 turbo diesel RWD. While driving the trans started shifting hard. At one shift something broke instantly no forward or reverse.
I have found a 1993 F450 non turbo diesel RWD E40D and was assured by the seller that it would interchange. After pulling the old transmission and having them on the floor side by side I noticed 2 things, First the old tourque converter has 6 bolts were the new one only has 4. I got the old T/C rebuilt thinking that was my only problem. Now I am ready to install the transmission in the truck and I find that the plug for the solenold pack is slightly different. They both have 9 pins but are not interchangable. Can I swap plugs?? Any help would be great as I took today off work to get this done and now I am at a stand still.

From 89 to 94 Ford used ECM protection diodes that were located on the solenoid block inside the trans, in 95 Ford moved those diodes to the ECM itself. They changed the connector to prevent a no diode situation.
Since you have a 95 your computer is safe, I would use the solenoid block from the 95 trans you pulled out, or better yet get a new solenoid block for your 95.
You did the right thing with having your original converter built, the six lug is for a diesel and the four lug is for gas.

Thanks for the info. I Just finished installing the transmission. I swaped the plugs on the solenoid block. It backed out of the shop OK but when I put it in drive it started to move and then it lost all gears and I heard a whirling sound ??? Help !!

HELP PLEASE
I spoke with a transmission mechanic and was told that if the truck did not move at all it has to be in the transmission itself. Is that true? He had me unplug the soleniod block, still nothing. Then I drained the tourque converter into a 5 gal buckett with a clean white t shirt tied over the top. The fluid was clean with no metal. Then I dopped the pan to check the fluid which was clean and make sure the filter/pick up had not fallen off. It was ok and not clogged. I need to pull this and get my $ back if The tranny is indeed bad. Is there anything else I can do or is this tranny bad? Can the 93 soleniod keep the 95 truck from having any gears? The seller says the tranny worked when pulled?? I really need some help with this.
