E4OD Clutch Module, new and ready to install. Fits the E4OD. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 or E-Series van with the E4OD automatic has started to flare between gears, slip when it is pulling a trailer, or the fluid on the dipstick smells scorched, the clutch packs are usually where the damage ends up. This is a new Raybestos Clutch-Pack friction module for the E4OD, packaged so you can replace the worn frictions in a rebuild instead of reusing tired material.
The E4OD is essentially a heavy-duty C6-style three-speed gear train with an overdrive section bolted on the front, all under electronic shift control. ATSG lists seven friction apply elements in this family: an intermediate band plus six multi-disc clutches - coast, overdrive, intermediate, direct, forward and low/reverse. Each pack is a stack of lined friction plates alternated with steel plates. Hydraulic pressure pushes a piston against the stack, the plates lock together, and that locks a planetary member to the case or to another member to make a gear.
The coast clutch matters more on this unit than most people expect. It holds the overdrive section for engine braking on deceleration, and ATSG warns that if it is commanded on at the wrong time, it is smoked in short order. The forward clutch carries every forward gear, so on a truck that tows it takes the most heat.
Many E4OD shift complaints are electrical or hydraulic, and new frictions will not fix those. Scan for codes and check the solenoid pack and EPC circuit first; our E4OD common problems guide walks through the solenoid, connector and switch faults that mimic a slip. A weak EPC solenoid or worn line pressure modulator can starve every clutch of pressure, which is covered in our EPC solenoid symptoms guide. If line pressure is correct, the codes are clean, and the slip is tied to one gear, you are looking at a burnt pack or a leaking piston or drum, and the transmission is coming apart.
This module is listed for the Ford E4OD. The listing does not narrow it to a year range, and that matters on this unit: ATSG notes the overdrive clutch was built in both 2-plate and 3-plate stacks, and that the number of low/reverse plates is model sensitive. Before you order, count the frictions in each pack on your teardown, or send us the year, VIN and the transmission ID tag and we will check it. The 1998-later version of this transmission is the 4R100; if you have one, see the 4R100 clutch module page, and our 4R100 vs E4OD comparison explains what changed. Every E4OD part we carry is on the E4OD collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Six multi-disc clutches - coast, overdrive, intermediate, direct, forward and low/reverse - plus an intermediate band and three one-way clutches. Compare the pack contents with your teardown before installing.
It is listed for the E4OD without a year split. Plate counts differ on some models, especially in the overdrive and low/reverse packs, so count your old plates or send us your year, VIN and transmission tag and we will confirm.
Only if the slip comes from worn frictions. Rule out low fluid, the solenoid pack, the EPC circuit and line pressure first. If the piston seals or drum are leaking, new frictions will burn again, so replace seals in the same job.
Use a MERCON V automatic transmission fluid, soak the frictions in it before assembly, and check the level hot with the engine running.
You can reuse steels that are flat, clean and not discolored. Replace any that are heat-blued, warped or scored, or the new frictions will not last.
