Ok, I have my E4OD out of my 97 7.3 4x4, out, torn down, inspected. Master overhaul kit bought. Bushing kit bought. Thrust washer kit bought. This is not going to be a hot rod, or pull much more than a boat. Going to most likely get a transgo tugger kit, and shift correction kit. What are some reasonable upgrades while I am in here? I know I will hear billet multi vane TC, I might, but don't know that it's necessary FCC or my application?

 

Combine the transgo kit with the superior kit. Make sure to do the updates.Update manual

 

If budget permits, a low stall PI converter. You probably do not need a triple clutch unless realistically plan big torque. I would rather have a single clutch PI unit than a cheap *** triple clutch.

Agreed on Tugger kit, I use lots of Transgo kits. Spend money on good clutches. I like Alto High Energy. Raybestos tans work well too. Kolene treated steels are nice too. Most of the planet upgrades are pretty budget friendy.

Consider a new 'MLPS' while out. Probably I would go Motorcraft only.

Really, fresh clutches and hydraulic integrity back will make a world of difference with a shift kit and good converter. Start modest on separater plate holes, you can always go bigger!

 

X2 on the low stall converter. I wouldn't install a E4OD/4R100 behind a 7.3 without a lower stall converter, it will pull much better.

 

Awesome, I already have the ATS manual. I was thinking about getting the update manual.

 

I am planning on getting the Superior shift correction kit. Is that the one you are taking about. It's about 40 bucks I think.

 

MLPS is probably a cheap investment. Is "PI" a brand?

I already have all raybestos frictions, all tan except 2nd, they are black.

 

PI = Precision Industries, One of the most expensive options, you can get other good low stall converters for much less.
Converters ? Precision Industries

 

One other thing, I do have a 2000 model 4R100, I can rob parts from. If there are any upgrades I can steal out of it. Bell housing is busted on it. So, it's a parts tranny. Any suggestions? Pump is cracked on my E4OD. Will a 4R100 pump replace it? Who ever installed this tranny last, didn't seat the TC properly. That's the reason for the rebuild. TC is new, but it galled up the sealing surface.. Wish I could figure out what kind of tc it is, and possibly save it. Its possibly a good one. Just a crappy seal.

 

 

Yes that is the one I am referring too.

no chip for now. Going stay stock on the programming for now. This truck was dead when I bought it. I want to build a little trust in it, before I go that route.
