Now--have we figured out the 2003+ trannies? I want to confirm which Xmission I have and provide the following info I have the 5. Many of these trucks are purchased solely as work vehicles, and many make their living on these trucks, relying on them to perform day-in and day-out. My question is how do you identify a lightning 4r100 transmission from a regular 4r100? You may also want to upgrade your direct clutch using raybestos blues, or the alto direct clutch pack kit as listed in our Another possible cause of the same symptoms is a broken stub shaft. Excessive heat is the number one killer of all automatic transmissions, regardless of the make or model. . June 14, 2005 The 4R100 is a far better trans by its inherent design. It makes it possible that the friction material can slip or the transmission could overheat.
I'm pretty sure the E40D was early in the model year and the 4R100 was later. I am thinking the 4r100 is a better trans. There is also a roll pin that holds the shaft in place that will need to be pulled out with some needle nose pliers. For years, on and off, the F150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America. You can also get it in two-door regular cab, and four-door Crew and Supercrew models. The only diagrams I have here of the valve body are in repair manuals and publishing them on the website would be a violation of the publishers copyright.
One Tough As Nails Transmission: The Ford 4R100 Posted by on Friday, December 28th, 2012 The Ford 4R100 is a heavy duty four speed automatic transmission used in rear wheel drive vehicles equipped. Sorry for the long reply I have been upset for a while about this haha. We will answer your question by email, and post the question and answer here for anyone else that needs to know. The project was shelved with a design that lacked a dampener in the torque converter but after the project was revisited a dampener ultimately made its way into the final design. Do they all have 4R70W trannies using Mercon V? I need to figure out what is wrong here! These websites are updated sixteen hours per day seven days a week. It is always recommended to put the cooler in the line coming out of the factory radiator. It offers faster engagement, quicker shifting, smoother operation, and increased service life.
I will be getting a new computer program written for the matchup. The 4R100 is a longer unit so your existing x-member may or may not work, depends on what Ford was doing when your truck was made. I doubt you could swap in an F-250 one and have a stronger tranny and have it function properly. I check and the identification sticker is long gone. Sooner or later, due to high mileage or abuse, you will be faced with the decision to replace the 4R70W transmission in your Ford F150 pickup truck. Help us help you, and others.
Don't be Afraid to post any little thing will help! I am trying to get back into it and I just seen your reply I am wondering how can I pull the piggy back off would be great to get some help with that I was trying to find a diagram of it and was unsuccessful! A re-manufactured unit is basically like buying a brand new transmission without the high price. If you have had any recent electrical problems one of the above problems is more likely. It had weak seals that allowed moisture inside the case, and occasionally the gears inexplicably shifted into neutral while the vehicle was in motion. Page 1 Was this page helpful? There is also a plate that Ford made to go between the idle air motor and the throttle body. This sensor could cause erratic shifting. Giving the Transmission a better mechanical advantage and in turn, better take-off acceleration, slightly lower fuel consumption, and designed for better gearset strength. No matter what fill it came with, you can and should use Mercon V in it.
It is more plausible that the number indicates the torque handling capability in N-m, as 506 lb-ft converts to 686 N-m which could be rounded to 700 N-m. This could also be caused by defective shift solenoids, or a poor wiring connection. We sell the total package, not something that will cost more in the long run or cost more after you buy everything you need one part at a time. I do not have this information. Leaving the 1-2 accumulator retainer off would result in no second gear. The diesel is beefed up more than the L's tranny too.
However, it did have some reliability issues. The converter clutch is electronically controlled in this transmission. The Ford F150 came with the 4R70W transmission. This could be caused by a defective solenoid, wiring problem, or bad processor. A bad output shaft speed sensor could also cause erratic shifting, but these rarely fail. Also the wiring harness may or may not work, again look before you leap. The big problem is the center support and coast clutch blow out.
They are also more capable of handling an increase in transmission temperatures. I checked the 1-2 accumulator springs and they were not broken, what else could be wrong? If it is giving an improper signal it can cause the transmission to downshift. Tranny is starting to give me some issues. Coupled with the electronic throttle strategy, the transmission computes the output torque required to maintain the vehicle speed, and chooses the correct gear and converter state accordingly. Maybe if enough people posted what they have and when thiers was built we could come up with a guess. I would like to know what i have to do to set the idle because my engine idle goes up and down when the car is not moving. The overdrive gear ratio is 0.
As for the harness and other stuff I have no idea. This article does not any. I've set the throttle body like they said on the instruction. This same condition could also be caused by a stuck 1-2 shift solenoid in the valve body. They are just a quick away from helping you out.
So the answer to all transmission fluid questions can thus be answered: 1. This gives the truck owner the option of using a The firmness of the shifts, line pressure and rpm at which the transmission shifts is all adjustable with a hand held tuner. If yes, use Mercon V. This would require transmission removal and disassembly to repair. The second gear ratio is 1. It can cause the bands and clutches to slip.
