Ford early model e4od transmission has had many and multiple part failures. My third 92-96 f-150 w/e4od. Currently has bad converter and valve body. Will not lockup in overdrive causes shuddering and very bad gas mileage. Bangs hard into gears and has delayed initial shift into forward and reverse. Two previous vehicles needed complete rebuilds of transmissions. All experienced harsh shifts, slipping into gear, shuddering at vehicle speeds, blowing seals w/fluid leakage and bad fuel mileage. Inquired about a rebuild and was told to rebuild with replacement of many redesigned internal parts most of which had failed previously including pump,converter and support. All three vehicles have had problems within 10k miles of owning. Daily driven without being used for any towing.

While slowing from highway speeds, I attempted to downshift. When I pushed in the clutch pedal, it went to the floor, having no effect, leaving the engine engaged with the transmission while the engine was running as I was approaching traffic stopped at a toll booth. I was able to force the shifter into neutral. And come safely to a stop. Upon inspecting the clutch linkage, I found that a plastic retainer had come off a shaft connecting the clutch push rod to the clutch crossover shaft. This is an extremely poor and unsafe method of connecting vital drivetrain components. Someone of less driving experience or strength may not have known what to do, or been able to safely stop this vehicle due to the failure of a cheap plastic part and an unsafe and inferior design. This may kill someone.

My ford f150 truck has a manual transmission, with a hydraulic clutch cylinder, which is inside the transmission housing. A few years after I got the truck, the hydraulic clutch cyclinder, inside the transmission housing, started leaking fluid, just after the manufacturers 3-year warranty ran out. Sometimes the hydraulic clutch cylinder loses all the fluid over a long period of time (several months), and sometimes it loses all of the fluid in a few days. The first time it happened, I was on the freeway, and I pushed in the clutch to disengage the transmission because traffic was slowing down in front of me, and the clutch did not work. It was fortunate that an accident did not result.
