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.
