[QUOTE="emanohio, post: 882989, member: 14162"] Worked at a Ford in the late 90's. Lots of E4OD trannys had problems with "rumbling" or shudder in overdrive. First, and easiest step is to flush the ENTIRE transmission system with new fluid, including the cooler lines, and draining the torque convertor. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU DRAIN THE CONVERTOR, AND COOLER LINES WHEN YOU FLUSH THE SYSTEM TO GET ALL THE OLD FLUID OUT. I can't remember what exactly it is that makes this happen, something in the convertor. I do know that if it fixes the problem, Ford recommends flushing the fluid every 15 - 20 thousand miles. I always told people to have it done every 4 - 5 oil changes. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
