I thought that might be a part of it also, but once underneath, I'd say No. I decided to pull the service manual, and nothing is about the tbars. Here is the SM description of the repair/removal.

4R100
Removal (Econoline, Expedition, Navigator, F150 & F250/F350 Super Duty Pickup)
1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove dipstick. Place transmission in Neutral. On Econoline,
remove air cleaner, air duct assembly and engine cover. Remove top 4 transmission bellhousing bolts and
dipstick tube retaining bolt. Remove short transmission filler tube, and position aside.
2. Raise and support vehicle. Remove skid plate, if equipped. Mark drive shaft and axle flange or yoke for
reassembly reference. Remove drive shaft(s).
3. Disconnect gearshift linkage. On 4WD models, remove transfer case prior to transmission removal. See
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION (TRANSFER CASE). On vehicles equipped with Power Take Off
(PTO) unit, disconnect controls and remove PTO.
4. On all models, remove necessary heat shields for access to electrical connectors. Unplug connector from
MLPS mounted at manual lever on transmission. Unplug connector from solenoid assembly on side of
transmission.
5. Remove transmission oil pan drain plug (if equipped), or loosen oil pan bolts to allow transmission fluid
to drain. When fluid stops draining, remove all but 2 bolts at front of oil pan. Allow oil pan to drop. Drain
remaining fluid. Reinstall bolts to hold oil pan in place.
6. Remove torque converter inspection cover. Remove starter. Place reference marks on torque converter
and drive plate for reassembly reference. Remove torque converter-to-drive plate nuts. Support
transmission with transmission jack. Remove transmission mount-to-crossmember nuts and
crossmember-to-frame bolts.
7. Remove crossmember. Disconnect oil cooler lines and filler tube from transmission, if not already
removed. Plug all oil cooler line openings. Secure transmission to transmission jack with safety chain.
Remove remaining transmission-to-engine bolts. Move transmission rearward, and lower from vehicle.
Installation
1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW "O" ring on filler tube. Ensure torque converter is fully
seated. Align reference marks on drive shaft and axle flange or yoke.
2. Tighten all bolts/nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Adjust linkage and fill
transmission with appropriate fluid. See appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION article.

 

I got a phone call this evening from a guy who had FX4 wheels on Craigslist. He had them listed for 300 with tires, but since he had them up for over a month, I bought the set for $150. He's going to bring them over tomorrow. Score. At least where I live, there are still many Gen 10's around. Many are still on the road and in good shape, but there are enough in the bone yards (3) and people seem to be parting them out rather than putting a transmission or engine in them. Their loss, my gain.

 

$150 is a pretty dang good price! What kind of shape are they in?

 

Pretty darn good if you ask me. Here is a pic of one.

 

I swear AK, you could fall in a barrel of pigs ears and...... Well ... You find some of the best deals!

 

If I was so damn lucky, I wouldn't need a transmission replacement. LOL

It would be the same in Texas or about anywhere where lots of Gen 10's roam. Up here, they are all around. Our problem is that we only have 3 wrecking yards in a 100 mile radius. Not a lot of stuff left in those, and what is, is expensive.

I look hard for what I need. I call friends, or businesses I've worked for or with, in the past and usually can get a good deal. CraigsList is best one for me, as well as Offer Up and Facebook. There are several Alaskan groups that have parts on them for sale. Luckily I have them all at my finger tips and can access them quickly. It also pays off to have a good buddy in Ford's parts department locally.

 

Ehhh.... I know you have to for a 4R70W, and IIRC, the 4R100/E4OD is longer than the 4R70. You have to slide back the cross member deal where you crank the torsion bars.

 

Connections, connections!!-lol-
There are more 10 gens still on road than i imagined, even around here, but too few junk yards. And even fewer of them in the yards.
I think there all still on the road!!

 

Nice!

 

Great info in this thread lately, specially for the trans. Info I haven't come across anyway. This thread might even make a good book some day.... 44 pages strong this far. After editing, -maybe a page and a half lol

Seriously, nice trick w/headless bolts AK. Personal favorite
