INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
FORD E4OD
The FORD E4OD automatic transmission is a four speed unit with total electronic shift control and is designed
for operation in longitudinal powertrains for rear wheel drive applications. The E4OD is currently found in "F"
Series Trucks and "E" Series Vans.
The E4OD transmission features a four element torque converter design that includes Torque Converter Clutch
(TCC) and a gear train that includes three planetary gearsets. The hydraulic control systems of the E4OD
transmission has five electronically controlled solenoids for: Shift feel (through line pressure control), Shift
scheduling (through shift valve position control), Engine braking during coast operation (through shift valve
control) and TCC apply (ON/OFF).
Note: There have been many engineering changes in this transmission since its introduction in 1989.
ATSG also has available an "Update Handbook" which includes the many changes and is required along
with this manual for a proper overhaul or repair.

OVERDRIVE SECTION FAILURE
COMPLAINT: Overdrive planetary and overdrive sprag failure due to lack of lube.
CAUSE: The cause may be a plugged or restricted lube passage in pump cover. There is a ball and spring
under the orificed cup plug making this passage prone to clogging up.
To check for restriction blow into hole in pump cover (See Figure 56). Air should exit from
holes in rear of stator shaft as shown in Figure 57.

NO FLOW TO COOLER,
AFTER REBUILD
CHANGE: After rebuild, your E40D transmission is returned with premature planetary failure due to a lack of
lubrication, or if you checked lube flow before delivery, you find zero lube flow, and zero flow
from the front “To Cooler” fitting.
REASON: The cause may be, m&match of stator shaft and pump cover creating a totally blocked “To
Cooler” passage in the pump cover.
PARTS AFFECTED:
Install the proper stator shaft into the proper pump cover. The differences are as follows:
(1) 89-94 MODELS - Have a relief (Notch) cut into the pump cover on the inside diameter,
where the stator shaft presses into the cover, creating a passage for converter apply oil to get
into the “To Cooler” passage in the pump cover. Refer to Figure 53.
(2) 95-96 MODELS - The relief (Notch) cut in the pump cover was eliminated from the cover,
and the relief (Notch) cut was added to the stator shaft (See Figure 54).
(3) If for any reason, it becomes necessary to install a different stator shaft into your pump
cover, you must ensure that you are installing compatible parts.
89-94 Model pump cover with notch, MUST be used with the stator shaft without notch. Refer
to Figure 53.
95-96 Model pump cover without notch, MUST be used with the stator shaft with notch. Refer
to Figure 54. If you install a 89-94 stator shaft without notch, into a 95-96 pump cover without

NEW DESIGN FRONT PUMP
FOR 1995 MODELS
CHANGE: Beginning at the Start Of Production for all 1995 model E40D transmissions, Ford Motor Co.
Introduced an increased displacement Front Pump Assembly, 1.70 cu in/rev, versus 1.50 cu
REASON: To provide additional flow for more robust converter clutch functions and additional lube flow,
both of which will greatly increase transmission durability.
PARTS AFFECTED:
(1) FRONT PUMP BODY - Gerotor bore has an increased diameter to accommodate the new
design level outer gerotor. Previous outer gerotor diameter was 3.950” and the new design
level outer gerotor diameter is 4.083”. Refer to Figures 41 and 42. Also, the two holes in the
suction cavity were increased from .3 12” to .400”, as shown in Figures 41 and 42. Another
way to identify the new pump body is with the “Rough Forging Number” F5TP-7A105-AA,
and is found on the front seal side of the pump body. All of the oil passages in the new design
(2) OUTER GEROTOR - The lobes on the Outer Gerotor changed from the previous 11 lobes to
10 lobes on the new design, to accommodate the changes on the inner gerotor. The diameter of the
Outer Gerotor also changed from 3.950” to 4.083”. Refer to Figures 41 and 42. The changes on
both the inner and outer gerotor increased the cavity between the gerotors for ’ increased pump
volume, as shown in Figure 43.
(3) INNER GEROTOR - The lobes on the Inner Gerotor changed from the previous 10 lobes to 9
lobes on the new design, to accommodate the changes on the outer gerotor. Refer to Figures 41
and 42. The changes on both the inner and outer gerotor increased the cavity between the
gerotors for increased pump volume, as shown in Figure 43.
(4) FRONT PUMP COVER - Received casting changes with added ribs in strategic places to
increase torque retention when the two halves are torqued properly. The Pump Body to Pump
Cover bolts should be torqued to 18-23 ft.lbs, with the alignment ring in place. The easiest way
to identify the new design level Pump Cover is with the “Rough Forging Number” F5TP-
7B324-AA, and is located on the back side of the Pump Cover. All of the oil passages in the new
design Pump Cover remained the same as previous years.
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
(1) The new design level Front Pump Assembly will retro-fit back to all previous models, when
used as an assembly, and is recommended for all rebuilds. The new design Front Pump
Assembly is available under OEM part number F5TZ-7A 103-A.
(2) The new design level and previous design level gerotors will not interchange in any way.
