i couldnt find another used tranny so i did what i think is my best all around option. i bought a ford remaned tranny from the dealer, $2100 with a 3 year 36000 mile warrenty.i plan on keeping this car for a while so if any more problems occur, my @$$ is covered. i can also be hard on the car when i want and if any more tranny problems, well ford has me covered. will pick up new tranny tomorow, cant wait to drive tha cat again. thanks for eveyones help and a little word of advice with the cd4e, dont try to change from year to year.you will have too many problems.stick with what you know.
