E4OD Solenoid Kit 1995-1997, used and ready to install. Fits the E4OD. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a used OEM E4OD solenoid kit for 1995, 1996 and 1997 Ford F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and E-Series trucks and vans, aimed at the owner whose truck has started pulling away in 2nd, hanging in 3rd on the highway, or setting shift solenoid codes. It came out of a 1995-1997 transmission, and the photo shows it with the valve body castings it was removed alongside. Because used kits vary, contact us with your order questions and we will tell you exactly which pieces ship before you buy.
In this transmission the computer, not hydraulics, decides when to shift. It reads vehicle speed and throttle position and then switches the solenoids bolted to the valve body. Two shift solenoids select the gear, the coast clutch solenoid provides engine braking in manual 2 and 1, an on/off solenoid controls converter lockup, and the electronic pressure control solenoid sets line pressure for every shift. These years matter for two reasons. First, Sonnax groups 1995-1998 E4OD solenoid blocks separately from the 1989-1994 design, so a late block is what belongs here. Second, the valve body itself changed: Sonnax identifies 1990-1995 main castings as F0/F1 and 1996-1998 castings as F6, so a 1995 truck and a 1996 truck do not always share every hard part.
Sonnax also points to the solenoid regulator valve, which feeds every solenoid. The 1995-and-earlier three-spool steel valve can wear its bore when hot, causing starts in 2nd or 3rd and converter clutch cycling even with good solenoids.
Start with codes. A 1995 truck uses the EEC-IV self-test, while 1996-1997 trucks read on any OBD-II scanner. Next, pull the case connector and look for green corrosion, spread pins or a cracked lock tab; Transmission Digest warns that a bad connector will set the same codes again after a new pack goes in. With the key off, ATSG lists 20 to 30 ohms for the shift, coast and converter clutch solenoids and 3.0 to 5.0 ohms for the pressure control solenoid. If the readings are good but the gear pattern is wrong, read our E4OD valve body symptoms guide, and for code-by-code testing use the E4OD shift solenoid guide.
Listed for the E4OD in 1995-1997 Ford trucks and vans. A 1995 sits on the F0/F1 casting side of the valve body change while 1996-1997 use the F6 casting, so compare castings and the connector on your unit with the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before shipping. Earlier and later versions, including the 1989-94 E4OD solenoid kit, are on our E4OD parts page.
Drop the pan, remove the filter, and unbolt the solenoid block from the valve body. Use new O-rings on every solenoid, tighten the bolts evenly, and replace the connector seal. Refill with Mercon V and check level hot. If the pan shows heavy wear material, a new E4OD pump or rebuild may be due. Clear codes and drive through all four gears before towing.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It came out of a 1995-1997 E4OD and the photo shows it with the valve body castings it was removed with. Used kits vary, so contact us before ordering and we will confirm exactly what ships.
No. Early and late E4OD blocks are different designs. A 1995-1997 truck should use a 1995-1998 style block.
Mercon V. Replace the filter and pan gasket at the same time.
A worn solenoid regulator valve or bore, a stuck shift valve, or a damaged case connector can all cause it. Check the connector and valve body before replacing more electrical parts.
Clear codes after installation and drive through every gear under light and moderate throttle. Check for new codes before towing.
