After the transmission is removed, you should check all clutch-related components and replace worn parts as required. Additionally, prepare the release bearing for reinstallation and install the clutch housing if removed.

To install the transmission, follow these steps:1. Push in and turn the converter to engage it with the front pump.2. Rotate the converter to align the bolt drive lugs and drain plug with the driveplate holes. Avoid a "nose-down" attitude to prevent disengagement of the converter from the pump gear.3. If the torque converter is bolted to the driveplate, position it with one bolt hole at the six o'clock position and install all bolts before tightening.4. Adjust the kickdown rod/cable, TV rod/cable, and manual selector linkage as needed.5. Lower the vehicle and add fluid to the Max mark on the dipstick with the engine off.6. Start the engine, check the fluid level, and top up if necessary.

While a competent do-it-yourselfer can remove and install a transmission if problems arise, it is recommended to leave the overhaul to a transmission repair shop.

The E4OD transmission is a fully automatic, electronically controlled, four-speed unit with a locking torque converter.

Depending on the expense involved in having a faulty transmission overhauled, it may be advantageous to consider replacing the unit with either a new or rebuilt one.

It is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified dealership or shop.
