Howdy all! i have a 92 f250 351 with an E4OD tranny. It is skipping 3rd and going straight to OD. ive checked the fluid and it is right on. im not sure what else to check, The shift solenoid maybe? please help

 

Have you checked for codes? (Use Search function if you don't know how to check for them) Have you tried turning OD off?

 

Well, I'll tell ya what helped to diagnose my transmission troubles; I pulled the codes which indicated there was a problem with my 2nd gear solenoid circuit. One solenoid pack later, problem solved.

Try this link for a tutorial on how to get those codes.

Other than that, get an Equus/Innova #3145 OBD1 reader from Checker/Shucks/O'Reilly/Kragen/Autozone. You get the idea. About $30 street.

The trouble codes will help to diagnose the problem.

Also, is the CEL on or is the OD light in the shifter blinking?

i just found the codes and will check that tomorrow. what is the cel? the light on the shifter is burned out i think

 

CEL = Check Engine Light. It might be a good idea to replace that OD light, too.

 

CEL Check Engine light! it comes on some times but just assumed it was becuse i have no muffler.

 

What is the solenoid pack? and where would i locate it?
