Trans shudder/chatter

[Jim Mc]

Check this out: Listen up, this is the only way to solve the #1 problem (clutch chatter/clutch burn up) with the AOD-E transmission. The clutches get slightly glazed and start to chatter because the pressure is set too low at the factory. If caught before the problem starts, you can save yourself a rebuild job. Turn the pressure up by turning the adjustment screw on the pressure control solenoid clockwise (in) 1/8 to ¼ of a turn, depending on how firm of a shift feel you like. A transmission shop will have to do this because it’s too hard for most people. I know what I’m talking about because we’ve fixed hundreds of them for our local police department. The first sign of this chatter usually will show up at about 40 M.P.H. in overdrive at light throttle. If all this sounds too hard you can buy an updated solenoid from the Ford dealer for $54.00 to $72.00. A fluid change will only get you past the warranty period. Everything I read about the AOD-E chatter problem says it can be fixed with a fluid change or flush. Everybody thinks the chatter is coming from the torque converter. A fluid change will only stop the chatter for a short period of time, because it’s only a bandage on the real problem. While the torque converter may be part of the problem it’s not the main problem. Over a period of seven years we have tried everything to fix this chatter on a permanent basis in at least 200 units. Without fail every time we tear a chattering AOD-E down the front set of clutches are burnt or slightly burnt. We know for a fact the chatter comes from the clutches and not the converter. We’ve tried adding extra clutches, changing the pressure control solenoid and more. Nothing stopped the chatter on a long-term basis. We paid Ford $54.00 each for their new updated solenoid, this helped but still the pressure needed to be a little higher. Until one day we found out the only difference between one part number and the other was a slight turn of the adjustment screw on the pressure control solenoid. All that money wasted on 100 new solenoids at $54.00 each! If you turn the pressure up in combination with installing a mechanical diode your chatter problems will be over and your transmission will be a lot stronger I paid 10 bucks for a Tip Sheet on the AOD-E / 4R70W Transmission. I do not know anything about this "solenoid" or the adjustment screw or the location of it. If you can help me with this I will e-mail you the entire document. It is a Microsoft notepad document.

Jim Mc,
I have a 1996 F150 w/302. I believe that the transmission is the 4R70W, it has a "U" code on the door. Up until now I thought that this was a tire out of balance or something minor, but it is exactly as you have described. Between 35 & 40 mph ,at light acceleration, there are short bursts of shuddering. Now I am worried. Is this a serious problem that will effect the longevity of my vehicle? Will the Ford dealership be responsible for this problem or will they try to dismiss it? Would I be better off going straight to the transmission shop? Thanks for your post, now I can take care of it before it gets any worse? -- Martin

Jim Mc thanks for your post. Can you tell us where the solenoid is on the transmission? Thanks.

------------------

[Jim Mc]

If you read the message carefully you will see that it is a "quote" from a tip sheet I purchased on line. I have no idea where the solonoid is. I was asking for help from anyone who did!

The transmission control solonoid is an internal part. Working on it involves removing the pan and main control asseembly. I will check to see if they are adjustable and get back to y'all in a day or two.
Our In plant 4R70 guru insists that the clatter is a converter problem and a fluid fluch will solve 90% of these problems.
And regardless of what the post says, they are two different parts.

Jim, did you ever get it fixed?

I've got a buddy at work who is having the same problem right now on his 93.... what did you find out?

E-mail me the sheet if you can... gijoecam@prodigy.net

Much appreciated!

Jim Mc,

I'd like a copy of that tip sheet also! I've been argueing with two different dealerships since my truck was new over this very problem! It's been documented on every trip to the dealership, and they constantly say no trouble found, or can not duplicate! I now have 35K miles on my truck, and would love to see this fixed under warranty! Thanks in advance for your help! My e-mail address is below!

Will the B&M electronic shift kit help fix this problem?

[Jim Mc]

Sorry to say that I no longer have that full tip sheet. I had computer prob's and had to reformat hard drive.
I still have problem! I have had full flush of tranny and TC...no help. I can say tho' that it hasn't gotten any worse. I have just learned to live with it! I now have about 45K and my truck is no worse off than before.I have pushed my truck (and tranny) pretty hard at the "Silver Lake Sand Dunes" with no adverse affects (so far!) Obviously I'm out of warranty now so I'm just gonna keep on keepin' on! I too, had the dealers tell me they couldn't find anything (yes i tried more than one!)but I just credit that to the fact that service tech's are not given the time to properly diagnos problems, let alone the time to accomplish repairs!

Hey Joe! are you gonna go to the dunes Apr 14th?

Guys
I had those exact symptoms 2 yrs. ago. The dealer finally flushed & filled with mercon5 & all is well with 30 thousand more miles since the change. The dipstick clearly reads "mercon" fluid.
