E4OD Tech question
I have a 1996 F250 Gas truck. E4OD had 125,000 miles on it .I went in and did fluid change and while in their installed trans-go kit in forward accumulator body(Line -mod, 2nd springs,3rd springs,4th springs). The tranny shifted nicely after the install but after a couple hundred miles the front pump seal began to leak pretty good.(grey seal in front pump)..I pulled the tranny and we went through the whole tranny with new frictions and went ahead and did the pump mods(P/R spring, Converter reg spring, drilled the cup plugs out to what Trans-go speced for firmer lock up and drilled the partion in the pump webbing for constant lube. I also drilled the main seperator plate as per Trans go instructions as well as the mods for the forward feed..after putting the tranny back in it worked fine but the shifts were not as snappy as they were before with just the forward accumulator springs...I have since removed the trans-go stuff from the forward accumulaotr and replaced the line mod with the larger Sonnax unit(.427") and also the shift valves with their replcement valves with the shims.The shifts are now taylored to my liking and are very crisp but not harsh.I am curious as to possibly why after the rebuild the shifts with the Tran-go stuff was not as crisp as they were with the tranny at 125,000 miles on it??? Any inpu from Factory Tech or anyone else in the know would be appreciated....
