very sorry to hear about your moms car....when i was researching before buying mine last year i came across a note that some of the atx's had problems right from the factory...many that were new developed some issue (dont know what) but ford replaced many of the transmissions without even attempting a repair on them...some are probably more prone to early death syndrome than others....

some have gone very early like your moms mine went at 89k and some on here have well over 120k miles on original atx so who knows????

if mom decides to keep and fix her tour make sure she buys the atx from terry h if avail...if she doesn't have a warranty it will cost her well over 2000 as stated in above posts for the repair...thank goodness i had a warranty when mine went out
