1996 Ford Chassis With E40D Transmission Hard Shifting

Recommended Posts

We have had our 1997 Holiday Rambler Vacationer since July of 1996. It is built on a 1996 Ford Chassis with a 460 7.5 L engine and a E40D transmission.

We just had it rebuilt by Eagle Transmission in Richardson, TX. We had a Banks System installed by Camping World in 1998. The Banks included a Transcomand controller that increased the pressure of the shifting. The motorhome drove with no transmission problems of any kind for the past 14 years when started a leak.

Eagle Transmission determined that the leak was caused by a damaged solenoid seal shaft and converter. A rebuilt was done and now the motorhome shifts noticeably harder than before. After eliminating the transcommand out of the picture, there is still a harder shift than I am used to.

I would like to know if anyone have experience this harder-than-normal shifting and what kind of problem, if any can be expected.

Barluis, Welcome to FMCA !!

From the information you supplied, it sounds like the shift point pressures are set a little high. You might want to have a transmission tech run a pressure test for the shift points to see if they are set properly.

Then you can discuss the possibility of lowering the the shift point pressure settings to reduce or eliminate the hard shifting.

Hard to speculate on any problems with out all the information a tech should be able to supply you.

Rich.
