Overhauling a manual transmission is a challenging task that involves disassembling and reassembling numerous small parts. Precise measurements of clearances must be taken, and select fit spacers and snap-rings may need to be changed.

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.

Transmission gear selection and converter clutch operation in the Overdrive range is controlled by the Electronic Engine Control system.

The 3-speed model is a side shifter with external shift levers and mechanism, allowing the use of a steering column shift lever. The remaining transmissions contain the shift mechanisms internally, allowing direct-shifting from a simple top-mounted shift lever which extends through the floor of the cab.

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.

The E4OD 4-speed transmission was introduced in 1988.
