Replacement stamped steel pan and gasket for the 4WD Ford 4R100 and late E4OD, replacing 265-805 and F6TZ-7A194-B on F-150, Super Duty and Expedition.
A dented, rusted or leaking bottom pan on a four-wheel-drive Ford is one of those problems that looks cosmetic until it is not. This is a replacement stamped steel oil pan for the 4WD version of the Ford 4R100 and the late E4OD, crossing to 265-805 and Ford F6TZ-7A194-B, F81Z-7A194-BA, F7TZ-7A194-CB and F7UZ-7A194-A. It arrives with a new pan gasket and a drain plug already fitted in the pan, so the next fluid change on your F-250, Super Duty, Expedition, Navigator or Excursion does not mean dropping a full pan of hot fluid on your chest. If your truck is weeping fluid off the pan rail, has a crushed corner from a rock or rut, or has a stripped drain hole someone tried to fix with a bigger bolt, this is the fix.
The bottom pan is more than a cover on this transmission. It is the sump the pump draws from, and the 4WD pan is drawn deeper and shaped to clear the front driveshaft and front axle, with a long-neck filter reaching down into it. ATSG's 4R100 manual shows that the solenoid body, with both shift solenoids, the coast clutch, TCC and EPC solenoids and the fluid temperature sensor, sits inside the pan area, and the filter plugs into a bore in the oil pump directly above the sump. When the pan floor gets pushed up, it can press on the filter body or close the gap under the pickup, and the pump starts pulling a restricted or aerated supply. That is how a pan dent turns into a transmission complaint.
Clean the pan and case with brake cleaner, drive the truck, and look for where the wet line starts. A leak that begins at the pan rail is the pan or gasket. A leak that starts higher at the case connector, the cooler lines or the rear seal is not, and a new pan will not touch it. If the fluid is dark, smells burnt or the truck already slips, read the pan contents before you blame the pan: our E4OD filter and pan service guide explains what friction material, brass and steel debris in the pan are telling you. A truck with shift or limp-mode complaints should go through the E4OD common problems guide first.
Listed fitment, 4WD applications only: 1995-1997 F-150, F-250 and F-350; 1998-2003 F-150; 1999-2004 F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty; 1998-2002 Expedition; 1998-2004 Lincoln Navigator; 2000-2004 Excursion; and 1996-1998 E-150 Econoline. These trucks are old enough that pans and whole transmissions have been swapped, so set your old pan next to the photos and match the depth, shape and 20-bolt pattern before you order. A 2WD shallow pan is a different part. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN. The rest of the hard parts for this unit are on our E4OD/4R100 parts page.
If the debris in the old pan points to a tired unit, plan the overhaul with the E4OD overhaul kit rather than buying a pan twice.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is the deeper 4WD pan shaped around the front driveshaft and axle. 2WD E4OD and 4R100 trucks use a shallower pan and a short-neck filter.
The stamped steel oil pan with a drain plug installed and a new pan gasket. The filter is sold separately.
The filter, every time the pan is off. The 4WD deep pan uses the long-neck filter, and the old filter seal must come out of the pump bore before the new one goes in.
ATSG lists 14-16 N-m, which is 10-12 ft-lb, tightened in a crisscross pattern. Overtightening bends the stamped rail and causes the leak you just fixed.
MERCON V. A pan drop takes roughly six to eight quarts. Refill about what came out, run through the gears, and finish the level at operating temperature in Park.
Only if a dent was restricting the filter or a leak left the fluid low. Burnt fluid with friction material in the pan means internal wear, and the pan will not cure that.
