How to identify your transmission
#18
People keep posting, look at the vin tag, if it's U is a 4r70w. That's great, but not all 4r70w's are interchangeable, so they are not the "same". These are the different 4r70w's for 2003. Nobody ever says what's the difference, or if they are interchangeable. Are all the 4x2 4r70w's interchangeable, and are all the 4x4 4r70w's interchangeable? What's the difference between the 2 different numbers? Nobody knows this stuff. Here's the different trans for 03 4r70w...

I have a 1998 5.4 lariat that was completely rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina, im not sure if it originally had 4r100 or if the owner upgraded it, but the new door card says "E" and the pan matches the 4r100 bolt pattern, the old man i bought it from was telling me he got it from the dealer as a "HD package". its not a lightning but everything points to a fr100, is there any other way of determining tranny type?

Found out it could be the older version of the 4R100, "the e40d" ford changed the name after they made a few modifications to it
