Yeah the $1800 is accurate, at least where I live. Thats including fixing the valve body issues so it will cycle fluid all the time and sleeving the servo bores. I am waiting till mine starts slipping to get it done. I have 130k on it now and its had shift flare and other problems since I got...

Just get it rebuilt. Those trannies have lots of issues. A good trans shop will fix em all and rebuild it for $1800 installed.

So what would the problem be if you ac and heat temp adjuster works fine but the zone selector doesn't work? I can adjust mine from hot to cold but I cant change where it comes out. Seems like it just comes out everywhere. It really sucks when I need defrost!

Sounds like replacing the coil pack is the way to go

The transmissions are junk and the rearends are prown to leaking. Oh and the actuator flap in the dash goes out and you have to pull the whole dash to get to it and the thermostat housings crack as well. All in all mine is a pretty good car, just gotta take car of it.

Seems like the further I look into this, the worst it gets. 30k miles ago I had the fluid changed and the axle seals replaced at the dealer. They used 75/140. Fords msr says to fill it with the thicker fluid til it runs out and then add another pint threw the abs senser hole in the top of the...

So you just retorqued the crush sleeve as tight as you could possibly get it with a breaker bar? Is there not a torque spec for this? Because it would be just my luck to mess it up

just one more thing from what i read you guys have CEL come on when the trans acts up? mine never comes on. only once when i needed a new EGR. the more i read, the more questions i have lol it looks like it could be a servo problem and might need sleeves? so if i pull the Solenoid block and it...
