Winters Ford E4OD / 4R100 Shift Linkage Kit 3395
3395
The Winters Ford E4OD / 4R100 Shift Linkage Kit 3395 connects a Winters cable-operated shifter to the shift mechanism on Ford E4OD and 4R100 automatic transmissions. The kit provides the transmission-side linkage, cable bracket, and hardware needed to properly connect and position the shifter cable at the transmission.
The linkage kit gives the shifter cable the correct mounting point and connects it to the transmission shift lever so movement at the shifter properly moves the transmission through its gear positions. Using the correct E4OD / 4R100-specific linkage helps keep the cable aligned and provides the adjustment needed to make sure the position of the shifter matches the selected gear at the transmission.
Use Kit 3395 when installing a compatible Winters cable shifter on a Ford E4OD or 4R100 transmission or when replacing missing, worn, or damaged transmission-side linkage components.

FAQ
Why does the E4OD / 4R100 need its own Winters linkage kit?
The Winters shifter may be used with several automatic transmission platforms, but the components that connect the cable to the transmission are not universal. Kit 3395 provides the linkage shaft, linkage arm, cable bracket, and related hardware designed for the Ford E4OD / 4R100 application.
What does the linkage kit actually do?
The linkage kit mounts the shifter cable at the transmission and connects cable movement to the transmission shift mechanism. Moving the Winters shifter pulls or pushes the cable, which moves the linkage and selects the corresponding gear at the transmission.
Are the Ford E4OD and 4R100 the same transmission?
The 4R100 was developed from the E4OD and the two transmissions share many design characteristics, but they are not identical transmissions. For this application, Winters specifies Kit 3395 for both E4OD and 4R100 transmissions.
Why is linkage adjustment important?
The shifter and transmission need to reach each gear position together. If the linkage or cable is incorrectly adjusted, the shifter may appear to be in the correct position before the transmission has fully reached that gear. After installation, check the complete shift range and verify proper engagement in every position.
Can Kit 3395 be used to replace missing linkage parts?
Yes. In addition to a new Winters shifter installation, Kit 3395 can be used to replace missing, worn, or damaged transmission-side linkage components in an existing compatible Winters E4OD / 4R100 shifter installation.
