haven't tried that...

 

When you shift into neutral to prevent your truck from stalling, that is the same thing I had to do with my truck to keep it from stalling

 

I think that worked. how expensive/difficult of a repair was this for you?

 

Solenoid pack isn't hard to do at least on the e4od. I think it was about 100.00 from ford, plus the cost of a new trans filter and fluid. When I replaced mine, it was actually a faulty wire harness so you should give that a visual inspection too while you're down there. Also make sure the filter goes in tight as sometimes they come loose and cause issue.

 

Was it either of these:

I am not sure what it looks like. I had my trans rebuilt and the solenoid the trans shop put in was bad so they replaced it. Google transmission solenoid block. I think it is a piece of aluminum with a lot of channels machined in it with an electrical connection. The part I saw was $200.00.

 

Also check ebay they have some new solenoid pack/block on their for around $100.00

 

Jmr described it right for the e4od.

 

googled it...looks like I'm just going to live with it! lol...

 

Don't know if its applicable here, but on chevy transmissions you can easily put in a shift kit (heavier springs) to make shifts quicker to fix problems with slipping and poor shifting. You might be able to put in a shift kit and help the problem. Just a thought, I bought a shiftkit for my brothers grand prix for like 30 dollars.
