Ford E4OD Trans slips in reverse Rich 11-7-06  
I just purchesed a 1996 Winnebago 37ft MH with 37,000 miles. While test driving it, it seemed to slip in reverse, but I was told it's normal for a "stall" speed in reverse, for safety ( as not to accelerate too quickly ) Seemed like BS but I've never owned a MH before. Anyway, I bought it, and it all seems good, except, but I'm beginning to think my original suspicions were right.
When I place it in reverse, I feel nothing... not like when I put it in drive, where the engine drops RPM etc... I let my foot off the brake, without any throttle, and it doesn't creep at all. So, I begin to back up, the engine revs to 2000 - 2300 with barely any movement at all, it does move, but throttle response is non existant. Once it begins to roll, it feels better. Is this normal, or did I get "the deal of a lifetime" ?
Rich...
PS the fluid is nice and clean ( almost too clean, maybe a recent change... )

Yep you got the saleman solution!!
The best deal you can get on a E4OD is ford reman at the dealer, 3 years warranty with all the upgrade around 1400. 1500. VS a after market shop rebuilt will go 1300 on the cheap side & may still act after you put it in.
Then you got the oil, a new cooler, & labor, I would shop for a mobil mechanic that can put it in, so you got the option to choose the supplyer, otherwise you will get the cheapest they can find.
good luck wrench

1400 for ford reman sounds good! Can you tell which dealer to go to? thanks.
E4OD trans does not shift out of low properly Harry T. 4-14-08  
I have a 96 f450 powerstroke and my trans has started to not upshift out of low gear until I hit 3000 rpm. It works fine after it shifts out of low. When the trans is cold it shifts fine. I have changed the fluid and filter including the torque converter fluid. Any sugestions?
