Yeh I suppose it could be gone...but that does not answer my question. It could still very well be something minor like a modulator, or servo seal...This has been, and still is a good truck to me. If overdrive was burnt out as you suggest, then why will it not go into any gear except reverse, and after it does go into gear...it runs and shifts fine. I won't junk or give up on something because you burnt out 2 or three trannys...If I did that because you did...then everyone here should junk out on thier contours and mystiques because they are bad for tranny as well. I would rather spend money fixing my Mystique and Explorer any day...then paying the bucks they want for a new car that often has just as many problems.
