So here is a video of the noise my transmission is making. It feels like my brakes are dragging but they aren't, the noise is noticeable in park and neutral the most but drags in gear. 1995 Ford F150 E4OD transmission noise please help - YouTube
Anyone else think that sounds like cracked flex plate? If others think so, can you inspect the flex plate where the torque converter bolts to it, what most people think is the flywheel? Look for cracks or missing bolts.
I'll check that out tomorrow- the flex plate, the output shaft was a little loose tho also. My grandpa was a mechanic, listened to it, he is leaving on a trip for a week tomorrow so he said drive it easy, let it get worse so we can actually find the problem, he didn't think the noise in person was too bad. He said when he gets back we can take the trans out and rebuild it. Or fix the problem. My uncle also just rebuilt a e4od so I have a couple people around me that are firmiliar with transmissions. Hopefully it's just a 70 buck rebuild kit and not a 300 buck rebuild kit that I need. Sounds like if read from around, either cracked flex plate, or the spring set that holds the clutches.
Yep the e4od has a plate you can remove without removing the trans.. take it out and remove your starter then use a large flat head to spin the flex plate around.. inspect it and make sure the 4 torque converter bolts are tight
Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow. That would at least let my nerves ease about wondering what is wrong
Oh and good luck with a $70 rebuild... Im about 500 in on my e4od rebuild so far.. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2!
