How fast should you be going in 4th gear?
What gear for which speed
| Gear | Speed |
|---|---|
| 2nd Gear | From 5mph to 15mph |
| 3rd Gear | From 15mph to 30mph |
| 4th Gear | From 30mph to 40mph |
| 5th Gear | 40mph upwards |
Is it bad to drive in 4th gear?
Page 82 states that “Driving excessively in 4th gear will lead to a known but unpreventable condition called SMEF or Spontaneous Massive Existance Failure whereas your car will be taken from you and given to someone who knows how to drive stick.”
What causes no reverse on a 4R44E transmission?
Loss of certain gears can occur due to issues in at least two other circuits. Loss of solenoid oil due to end plug leakage can cause no Reverse, and loss or 3rd or 4th and can be repaired with 37947-13K.
Why does the coast clutch not apply in the 4R?
When this bore is worn, the solenoid oil flows around it, resulting in the loss of overdrive servo release pressure. This results in no 4th in a 4R or no 2nd and 5th in the 5R unit. If it sticks, the coast clutch will not apply. This wear can be found on a hydraulic test bench or with the Wet Air Test in Figure 6.
When did the Ford 4R44E become a 5 speed?
The 4R44E was released in 1995 in the 2.3L and 3.0L Ford/Mazda rear-wheel-drive units. In 1996, with the 4.0L, the drive components were beefed up to become the 4R55E. In 1997 the unit became a 5-speed by applying the front servo to obtain an overdriven first and 5th.
Can a TCC regulator be replaced on a 4R44E?
If line rise is poor because of a dirty EPC solenoid or leakage within that circuit, then feed to the TCC regulator valve will be poor (the solenoid can be replaced with [56842B-01]). The EPC circuit wears and leaks at multiple locations, but it also has an EPC and engagement control valve that sticks (and can be replaced with ( 37947-11K ).
