91 E4OD in a 93 will it work

I know there a little different. ie speedo cable. got a chance at a '93 350 crew cab for $800. they say the tranny only works in reverse. and i've got a 91 E4OD that needs a TC. will a 93 controller work the shift soleniods in a 91 i think the connectors are the same.

i think your good to go.others will confirm or not im sure.probably something you'll have to swap.

while your waiting for that info:
while you have trans out/swapping converters,i just learned form david85 (advanced in e40d knowledge) that in 95-97 ford installed a high volume pump(F5.) just thought id mentioned it to ya,as now would be a perfect time for the upgrade.
example:
FORD E4OD TRANSMISSION COMPLETE PUMP ASSEMBLY LATE F5: eBay Motors (item 180502695382 end time Jul-02-10 07:32:53 PDT)

also as part of B&M's shift kit.they send you new valves to install in the pump.so can kill two birds with one stone while your at.
thats a heck of a deal for a 93 f350 crew!

Just looked in my book and I can't find a reason it wouldn't work. There were some changes to the solenoid body in 1994 but nothing electronic that I could find across 1991-1993.

A 94+ trans has all the upgrades....... No sense going backwards. Get yours upgraded or buy a Ford rebuilt from a internet ford dealer.

If the connectors on both transmissions are the same then the '93 PCM will work with the '91 trans - the change in shape was made so you cannot run a solenoid pack that is incompatible with the PCM.

Wasn't it '96 when all the hardware goodies were installed in the E4OD, and not '94? Besides, I think you're missing the main point here tho, that he's trying to turn a cheap truck into a good deal with parts he already has - not really going backwards with the swap either, since he's not installing an '89 transmission.

Go with a nice aftermarket converter then, factory ones are apparently fairly weak in the lockup clutch department and like to self-destruct.
