E4OD Banner Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the E4OD. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Ford F-250, F-350, Bronco or E-Series van with the E4OD automatic now flares between gears, takes a second to grab reverse, or leaves a puddle under the bellhousing and the tail, the soft parts inside are usually done. This new E4OD banner rebuild kit gives a builder the gaskets, seals and friction plates for a full overhaul without paying for a master kit full of parts a healthy unit does not need.
The E4OD is Ford's heavy-duty four-speed electronic automatic, built from 1989 until it was renamed 4R100 for 1998. Behind the pump sits an overdrive section with its own overdrive clutch and coast clutch, then the forward, direct, intermediate and reverse packs in the main case. Every one of those packs is clamped by a piston sealed with rubber or molded lip seals, and every circuit between the valve body, pump and case is sealed by gaskets. A banner-style kit pairs that full gasket and seal set with new frictions and a filter. It covers the parts that wear out in normal service and leaves the hard parts, steels and bushings for you to inspect and buy only if they measure bad.
Before you pull the unit, rule out the electrical side. A worn solenoid pack or a corroded case connector can feel exactly like slipping clutches because line pressure drops or a shift never commands. Check fluid level and condition hot, scan for codes, and test the pressure control solenoid. Our E4OD common problems and fixes guide walks through the usual failures, and the EPC solenoid symptoms article shows how a bad solenoid mimics clutch wear. If the fluid is burnt and there is clutch debris in the pan, the internals have already failed and a kit like this one is the right next step.
This listing is titled for the E4OD without a year range, so match it to your truck before ordering. The E4OD ran in 1989-1997 F-250 and F-350 pickups, F-Super Duty and E-Series vans, and full-size Bronco, behind the 7.3L diesel, 5.8L, 7.5L and later V8 engines. Ford made real internal changes during the run: a higher-volume pump arrived for 1995 along with a new solenoid block, and some bushings and pump gears split between 1989-94 and 1995-97 builds. Gaskets and seals for the pump and solenoid area must match your design. Compare your old gaskets with the kit before you start, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. For an early truck, the dedicated 1989-95 E4OD banner kit is listed separately, and 1998-up trucks use the 4R100 banner kit. All of our parts for this unit are on the E4OD collection page.
For a complete look at the weak spots worth upgrading during the job, read our E4OD rebuild wear points guide. If the valve body is also suspect, pair this kit with an E4OD valve body so the whole hydraulic side is fresh.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
A banner kit combines the full gasket and seal set with new friction plates and a filter. A master kit usually adds steels, bushings and more hard parts. If your steels and bushings measure good, a banner kit covers the job for less money.
Ford renamed the unit 4R100 for 1998 and changed the pump and other parts, so a 1998-up truck should use the 4R100 banner kit. For 1989-1997 trucks, compare the kit against your old gaskets or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
Use MERCON V automatic transmission fluid, which supersedes the original MERCON spec. Ford lists roughly 15.7 qt for a 4x2 and 16.2 qt for a 4x4 1996 truck including the converter, so fill to the pan capacity first and top off hot after a test drive.
Check it. A worn solenoid pack causes erratic shifts and limp mode that a new set of clutches will not fix. If it tests poorly or the truck had electrical shift complaints before teardown, replace it during the overhaul.
Yes, if they are flat and not heat-marked. Measure clutch pack clearance with the new frictions installed. If the steels are blued, warped or the clearance is out of spec, replace them.
Usually the overdrive clutch burned. Common causes include a return spring retaining ring that walked out of its groove and a melted front lube valve that starved the overdrive section of oil. Fix the cause during the rebuild or the new frictions will fail the same way.
