Twisted Pro™ E4OD Performance Transmission – 450 HP Small Block Ford
Ford E4OD • 1989–1998
5.0L / 302 • 5.8L / 351W
Heavy Towing • Hauling • Work Trucks • Modified Street Trucks
The Twisted Pro™ E4OD is our heavy-duty small-block gas build for trucks that tow, haul, work under load, or run moderate engine upgrades.
The Pro steps up from the Street with increased forward and direct clutch capacity, a 45-element intermediate sprag, new overdrive sprag, TransGo Tugger valve-body setup, and additional pump and lube updates.
Rated up to 450 HP in properly set up small-block gas applications.
New high-energy friction plates and new steels throughout.
Forward clutch set up with increased capacity over the stock configuration.
Direct clutch set up for additional holding capacity under load.
New heavy-duty intermediate band.
The stock intermediate sprag is replaced with a heavy-duty 45-element sprag.
New overdrive one-way clutch / sprag assembly.
Inspected and replaced as required.
Every Twisted Pro™ E4OD gets a brand-new transmission pan with drain plug. We do not reuse the old pan.
The Pro uses the TransGo 4R100-HD2 Tugger, which is built for both E4OD and 4R100 applications.
Includes:
The Tugger increases low-clutch holding pressure in manual first for better holding power and engine braking when towing or hauling.
Correct E4OD solenoid pack installed for the year and transmission configuration.
Early and late E4OD solenoid packs differ, so the correct unit is matched to the transmission being built.
Center support and case area checked for wear.
The pump is completely torn down, inspected and rebuilt.
Early-design E4OD pumps are updated to the later pump design where required.
All reusable hard parts are cleaned and inspected before assembly, including:
Worn, cracked or damaged hard parts are replaced as required.
Matched for:
Final converter configuration is matched to the vehicle, engine and intended use.
The Twisted Pro™ comes standard with a NEW transmission pan with drain plug.
For towing, hauling and heavy-duty use, upgrade to our:
✔️ Adds approximately 5–7.5 quarts of fluid capacity
✔️ Finned cast-aluminum construction
✔️ Magnetic drain plug
✔️ Temperature-sender port where applicable
✔️ Additional fluid capacity for better heat management
Exact capacity and pan configuration vary by application.
For small-block gas Ford applications originally equipped with the E4OD.
F-150 • F-250 • F-350
E-150 • E-250 • E-350
2WD and 4WD configurations available.
E4OD configurations changed throughout production. Year, engine, electronics, case, output shaft and 2WD/4WD configuration must be verified before ordering.
Do not put a fresh E4OD behind a dirty or restricted cooler.
For regular towing, hauling or work-truck use, an appropriately sized auxiliary transmission cooler is required.
The existing cooler and cooler lines must be flushed and checked for proper flow before installation.
If the previous transmission put metal or clutch material through the cooling system, the contaminated cooler must be replaced.

One thing I still would not publish as written until you tell me what you're actually doing: the solenoid section. If every Pro gets a NEW solenoid pack, we need to say NEW SOLENOID PACK in big-ass letters. If it's reman/tested, we'll say that instead. That's too expensive and important a part to hide behind “correct pack installed.”
