4R44E Pump 1995, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 4R44E. Ships fast from the USA.
The 1995 model year was the first for the 4R44E, the electronically controlled four-speed Ford put behind the 2.3L four and 3.0L V6 in the Ranger and the Mazda B2300 and B3000. Thirty years on, a lot of these trucks show the same complaint: a long pause before Drive or Reverse engages after the truck warms up, a soft slip on hills, and a front seal that drips no matter how many times it is changed. This listing is a remanufactured 4R44E front pump specifically for 1995 transmissions, for owners and shops who have confirmed the pump is the weak link and want a ready assembly instead of rebuilding the original.
The 4R44E is the A4LD with its hydraulic shift controls replaced by solenoids and a computer. The pump is still the only source of oil in the unit. The torque converter hub drives it at engine speed, and everything downstream depends on its output: the electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid trims that output to the line pressure the computer wants, the converter is charged from it, and the clutches, bands and lube circuit all feed from it. Sonnax notes that until the converter clutch applies, converter charge oil comes off the pressure regulator valve. When the pump wears, it simply cannot keep up at idle and low speed, and the whole transmission goes soft at once. The hub rides in a bell housing bushing ahead of the pump, so a worn bushing lets the converter hub move, which wears the pump and chews up front seals.
Plenty of 1995 4R44E faults mimic a weak pump. Sonnax lists EPC circuit leaks and a sticking EPC or engagement valve in the valve body as causes of slow Reverse and flared shifts, and those are cheaper to fix. Start with the fluid level and condition, then put a gauge on the line pressure tap and compare readings in Drive and Reverse at idle and with EPC commanded high. Our line pressure testing guide covers the gauge setup and how to read the numbers. Low pressure in every range with a correct fluid level points to the pump or its seals; good pressure that drops in one range points to a leak in that circuit. Because many 1995 Ford trucks predate OBD-II, a basic generic code reader may not connect, so use a tool that reads the Ford self-test. If the converter hub shows a groove, read our article on converter hub and pump bushing wear before you reuse it.
This pump is listed for the 1995 4R44E only: the 1995 Ford Ranger and the 1995 Mazda B2300 and B3000 with the four-speed automatic, in two-wheel or four-wheel drive. Ford revised this family repeatedly, and a 4.0L truck uses the 4R55E instead, so check the transmission code on the door tag and compare the old pump with this one before installation. If you are unsure, send your year and VIN and we will check it before it ships. We also stock a 4R44E pump listed for 1995-1996 and the general 4R44E pump; match the one that lines up with your transmission.

It is listed for 1995 transmissions. 1996 trucks may use the same pump, but we list a separate 1995-1996 version for that. 1997 brought the five-speed 5R44E in many trucks and other changes, so do not assume a later pump is the same. Send your year and VIN and we will check.
The 2.3L four-cylinder and 3.0L V6 automatic trucks use the 4R44E. The 4.0L V6 uses the heavier-duty 4R55E. The transmission code on the door tag or the tag on the case confirms which one you have.
At minimum a new front seal, the pump gasket and fresh fluid. Inspect the bell housing bushing and converter hub, and if the transmission slipped for a long time, plan on a rebuild kit and a cooler flush.
Use the fluid printed on the dipstick. Ford warns that MERCON and MERCON V are not interchangeable unless a fluid is labeled for both, so check the dipstick and the bottle before you fill.
Often the cause is the bell housing bushing and converter hub, not the seal itself. Excess clearance lets the hub wobble and wear the seal and pump. Check the bushing clearance and the hub surface before replacing parts.
Not always. Many 1995 Ford trucks use the older EEC-IV self-test instead of OBD-II, so you need a tool that reads Ford two- and three-digit codes, such as 628 for converter clutch slip.
