E4OD Overhaul Kit 1996, new and ready to install. Fits the E4OD. Ships fast from the USA.
A 1996 Ford F-250, F-350, Bronco or E-Series van with the E4OD often shows its age the same way: a wet pan rail, a pause before Reverse on a cold morning, and a 2-3 or 3-4 shift that slips once the fluid is hot and the trailer is hooked up. When the electrical side checks out, that pattern points at hardened seals. This is a new gasket and seal overhaul kit listed for 1996 E4OD units, pictured in sealed TSS Transmission Quality Products packaging.
1996 sits in the middle generation of this transmission. Sonnax groups the 1995-1998 E4OD with the later 4R100 for its solenoid block, which means a 1996 unit already has the updated electrical layout, while its pump and drums are still E4OD parts rather than the revised 4R100 pieces Ford introduced for 1998. That split is why a 1996 solenoid pack, valve body or connector should never be pulled off a 1989-1994 truck, even though the seal set itself changed far less. Our 4R100 vs E4OD guide explains where the line falls.
Line pressure in the E4OD is set by the EPC solenoid and carried to each clutch through the pump, the sealing rings on the stator support and drums, and the molded seal on each piston. When those parts harden or shrink, pressure leaks away before it reaches the clutch, and the clutch slips even though the computer commanded the shift correctly. The kit covers the gaskets, piston and lip seals, O-rings and sealing rings. It does not include frictions, steels, the filter or bushings.
Pull any stored codes first, then check line pressure. A failing EPC solenoid or a worn modulator sleeve can mimic leaking seals, and our E4OD EPC solenoid guide covers how to separate the two. If you suspect the valve body, the vacuum tests in our valve body testing guide show which bores are leaking. Only when pressure is low with good electrical readings does the reseal become the fix.
This kit is listed for 1996 E4OD transmissions. Gasket and seal sets often overlap neighboring years, but 2WD and 4WD units, PTO-equipped trucks and running changes inside the year can differ. Read the ID tag on the case, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm the kit before it ships. Other year ranges and the hard parts for this unit are in the E4OD and 4R100 collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Ford kept the E4OD name through 1997 on most applications; the 4R100 name arrived for 1998. A 1996 unit shares its solenoid block with later units but still uses E4OD pumps and drums. Check the ID tag on the case if you are unsure.
No. It is the gasket and seal set: gaskets, piston and lip seals, O-rings and sealing rings. Buy frictions, steels and a filter separately after you inspect the old ones.
It is listed for 1996. Neighboring years often share seals, but do not assume it. Send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
Possibly, but check the EPC solenoid and modulator valve first. Both cause soft shifts and low line rise with no external leak. A line pressure test tells you which it is.
A MERCON-family automatic transmission fluid; MERCON V is the common service fill today. Check the level hot, engine running, in Park.
