I am almost at the end of my rope. I have been trying to get a part for my transmission for 6 months. I am wondering if anyone else here has had this problem.
Note- my truck is an early 1994 Ford F250 with the turbo IDI diesel (NOT a Powerstoke).
I put a complete remanufactured transmission in it a little over a year ago. E40D trans. I did not rebuild the original since it had a crack in the case that had been welded several times.
The replacement trans has always worked fine when temps outside are 50 F or warmer. If it is colder-the torque-converter will not unlock until the truck warms up. Can be a little scary if I am ready to throw it into neutral. Almost pushed me through a red-light the first time it happened.
Under warranty, the place where I got the trans has sent me two new solenoid packs. Neither one fits the wire-harness on my truck. The original does. So I have three solenoid-packs sitting here and each is different. I even called the company (Transtar) where the solenoid-packs come from. I asked them to look at my photo of what I need but they will not. They just keep sending more wrong solenoid packs. Truck is tied up in my shop now (been apart for two weeks this time). I am almost ready to give up and put the old solenoid-pack back in. Note - I do not even know for sure it is the problem that makes the torque-converter not unlock when cold.
It is hard to believe it is this hard to find the correct part for something as common as a Ford truck. My solenoid is the one with the thin-wall harness plug.
