E4OD Solenoid Kit 1995-97, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the E4OD. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 1995, 1996 or 1997 Ford with the E4OD automatic launches in 2nd or 4th, refuses overdrive, bangs into gear or sets shift solenoid codes, the solenoid block bolted to the bottom of the valve body is the first part to test. This is a remanufactured late-style E4OD solenoid block for 1995-97 F-Series pickups, E-Series vans and the other Ford trucks that carried the E4OD in those years. It is the complete assembly with the case connector on top, so you replace every solenoid in one piece rather than chasing them one at a time.
The E4OD has no governor and no throttle valve cable; the powertrain computer decides every shift and the solenoid block carries out the order. Two on/off shift solenoids open and close oil to the shift valves to select 1st through 4th. The same block holds the coast clutch solenoid for engine braking in the manual ranges, the converter clutch solenoid, and the electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid that sets line pressure for every shift. All of them are fed through one shared power pin, so a single bad feed or connector can make every solenoid look dead at once. Sonnax splits replacement blocks into a 1989-94 version and a 1995-98 version, and this kit is the later design, which also carries over to the non-PWM 4R100.
Pull the codes first. A 1996-97 truck reads on any OBD-II scan tool, while a 1995 needs an EEC-IV reader. Then look at the case connector, because Transmission Digest's Jim Stokes found this transmission family has more connector trouble than any unit he covers: green corrosion, loose pin fit and a lock tab that snaps. A broken tab on the harness side brings the same codes back after a new block goes in. With the key off, ohm the block at its connector: the shift, coast clutch and on/off converter clutch solenoids each read 20-30 ohms against the shared feed, and the EPC solenoid reads 3.0-5.0 ohms. Our E4OD shift solenoid guide walks through the pin chart and a forced-shift road test, and the EPC solenoid guide covers harsh-shift and soft-shift pressure faults. If the block tests good and the truck still starts in 2nd only when hot, look at the solenoid regulator valve in the valve body. On 1996-and-later units it is a two-spool anodized aluminum valve whose coating can flake and wear, and no solenoid block will cure that.
Listed for 1995-97 E4OD transmissions. The 1995 model year is where the late solenoid block begins, and 1996 is where Ford moved to the F6 valve body castings and OBD-II, so the block, the valve body and the computer all changed within this window. Compare the connector shape and the part number on your old block with the photo before ordering, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it for you. Early 1989-94 units use a different block. Everything else for this transmission is on the E4OD/4R100 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the 1995-97 late-style block. Sonnax lists a separate block for 1989-94 units, so a 1994 normally needs the early design. Compare the connector and part number on your old block, or send us your year and VIN.
Sonnax groups the 1995-98 E4OD block with the non-PWM 4R100. Many 1998-up diesel and gas 4R100s use PWM converter clutch control instead, which is a different block, so confirm which style your truck has before ordering.
P0750 and P0755 are the shift solenoid A and B circuit codes. P1714 and P1715 cover mechanical solenoid failures, and P0781-P0783 shift errors can come from the solenoids or internal parts. Ohm the block and check the connector before buying.
That is the failsafe pattern when the computer loses solenoid control. It often traces to the shared power feed, the case connector or the computer, not one solenoid. Check power at the connector first.
Refill with Mercon V ATF and check it hot in Park. The block bolts take 80-100 in-lb.
