Oh, you rebuild them so you must know everything about their manufacture.

Reprinted from http://www.dustbury.com/626/trans.html :
Designated the LA4A-EL by Mazda and CD4E by Ford ? we will call it by its Ford nomenclature hereafter ? it first
appears on Ford of Europe's Mondeo in 1993, which made its USA debut in 1995 as the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique.
The CD4E is also put to work in the front-drive Mercury Cougar, built alongside the 626 at Flat Rock after Probe/MX-6
production ends, and, reworked for 4wd use where needed, in the Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape SUV twins. The CD4E is
manufactured in Batavia, Ohio under the auspices of ZF Batavia, a joint venture of Ford and ZF Friedrichshafen AG.


Hmmm, ZF Friederflaven (or whatever) sure sounds like Mazda to me.

So ...
