Hello coffeyjoh791, first make sure the transmission isn't low on fluid, if you are certain that it isn't low on fluid you may be wise to have the fluid and filter changed in the transmission.
God luck my friend!

How to tell what transmmison i hav in a 89 f250 with a diesel it is an auto


  • In 1989, Ford went from the C6 transmission to the E4OD. The C6 is a vacuum shift and the E4OD is an electronic shift, 1-2-3-OD.


  • If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Where is the automatic transmission dipstick located on a 89 ford escort and why does the gear shift act in its starting, whether or not? ( moving it)

Dip stick comes out of dip stick tube coming from transmission (side of trans) Look real hard on the side of the transmission behind the engine you will see it.

The second issue sounds like a neutral safety switch.

89 ford f250 automatic transmission shifting hard-at idle hear a ticking sound near tranny

I don't know about the ticking but I know changing the filter and fluid is the first thing to do when an auto trans has a problem plus cleaning the pan. Another thing is get a automobile sound wand and get under there and see if you can pinpoint the ticking.
