The E4OD transmission is a fully automatic, electronically controlled, four-speed unit with a locking torque converter.

The initial steps for removing the transmission are as follows:1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.2. Drain the transmission lubricant into a suitable container.

To remove the transmission, follow these steps:1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist or with jack stands for better access.3. Drain the transmission fluid and temporarily install the pan.4. Remove the torque converter access cover and adapter plate bolts.5. Take off the driveplate-to-converter attaching nuts, making sure to mark their relationship to the driveplate.6. Rotate the engine to access the converter drain plug and remove it.7. On 2WD models, remove the driveshaft and cover the transmission end. On 4WD models, remove the transfer case.8. Detach the speedometer cable on pre-1992 2WD models.9. Remove the manual shift linkage, TV control rod or cable, kickdown rod or cable, and vacuum modulator hose if equipped.10. Disconnect the neutral safety switch electrical connector, manual lever position sensor electrical connector (E4OD only), and solenoid body electrical connector (E4OD only).11. Remove the transmission fluid filler tube and dipstick.

Since the introduction of the F-series and Bronco, various automatic transmissions have been available. These include the AOC 4-speed, C4, C5, and C6 3-speed transmissions. In 1988, the E4OD 4-speed transmission was introduced alongside the C6 and AOC models. The 4R7OW 4-speed became available in certain models in 1993. The main differences between these transmissions lie in their torque capacity and speed/load sensing mechanisms for shift points. The C-series transmissions use a governor and vacuum diaphragm throttle valve for speed and load sensing, while the AOD transmission uses a governor and throttle valve rod or cable. The E4OD transmission utilizes engine and drivetrain sensors, along with special programming in the EEC computer, to calculate speed and load conditions and initiate shifts. If repairs or overhaul are needed, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified dealership or shop. However, if cost is a concern, replacing the faulty transmission with a new or rebuilt unit may be an option. It is important to use high-temperature-resistant seals on these transmissions and avoid using older design seals.

Information on new or rebuilt transmissions, including their cost, availability, and exchange policy, can be obtained from a local dealer or a transmission specialty shop.

Overhauling a manual transmission is a challenging task that involves disassembling and reassembling numerous small parts. Precise measurements of clearances must be taken, and select fit spacers and snap-rings may need to be changed. While a competent do-it-yourselfer can remove and install a transmission if problems arise, it is recommended to leave the overhaul to a transmission repair shop. Rebuilt transmissions may be available, so it's worth checking with the dealer parts department or auto parts stores. However, if an inexperienced mechanic has the necessary special tools and follows a step-by-step approach, rebuilding a transmission is not impossible. The tools required include snap-ring pliers, a bearing puller, a slide hammer, pin punches, a dial indicator, and possibly a hydraulic press. Additionally, a sturdy workbench and a large vise or transmission stand are necessary. Before starting the repair, it is helpful to have an idea of the specific area of the transmission that is malfunctioning. Troubleshooting information can be found at the front of the manual. If you choose to overhaul the transmission yourself, it is recommended to obtain exploded-view drawings of your particular transmission. Some suggestions to assist in the process include creating a simple diagram or taking photos or videos during disassembly, laying out each part in the order it was removed, and checking for any missed bolts or snap rings before applying excessive force. It is also important to anticipate which parts may need to be replaced and have them available beforehand. Certain items, such as gaskets, snap-rings, oil seals, and sometimes bearings, must be replaced when reassembling the transmission. Cleanliness is crucial when working on a precision piece of equipment like a transmission, so the work area should be kept clean and free of dirt and dust. Adequate space should be available to lay out the parts as they are removed. Prior to assembly, all parts should be prelubricated with the appropriate fluid, and assembly lube can be used to hold loose needle bearings, thrust washers, and other small items in position. Before reinstalling the transmission into the vehicle, it is important to rotate the input shaft and shift the case through its gears to check for any binding, excessive resistance, or lock-up. If any abnormal behavior is observed, the issue should be resolved before applying engine power to avoid further damage. Finally, the transmission should be filled with the appropriate type and quantity of fluid.
