How many of you have replaced your Auto trans?

[91EDB]

I just bought a 91 Eddie Bauer and its still on the original transmission and shifts good. But It appears that they are often bad. I own a Taurus SHO also, and I am use to the bad transmissions in those.

i just replaced mine at 121,000 miles. how many miles is on yours? it also depends on how it was serviced. you will more than likely be replacing it soon.

 

[91EDB]

It has 180k Not sure what the service history is.

 

[Redrig]

well you could hope its not the original and its been replaced already. but if not its probably going.

[audiodude332001]

My 92 has 145,000 on the original tranny (auto), and It still shifts like brand new.

 

[TheJMan]

Mine was rebuilt at about 60K miles, and now my '93 has 78K miles and is running like a champ, but has never been replaced.

Hmmm well I know the A4LD tranny in my Ex has been rebuilt twice in the past 4 yrs. I wonder if I should get a whole new tranny and go from there.

I did hear that a local tranny rebuilder has C4's for 405 rebuilt maybe I need to swap that in instead.

Oh and my 93 is still down T-case went and my 5 spd manual tranny output shaft snapped.

 

[wired_af]

44,000 miles and still running strong.

my old 92 X i used to have had 160,000 miles and still had a good origional tranny
