soo i have a problem... ok a couple
 

i purchased this automatic 95 crown vic for $200 and drove it home and thats as far as she made it after inspecting the original owners tranny gasket leak that he supposedly fixed this is what i have found.... he didnt tighten anything down properly.....the rear shaft is broke, part of the tranny it self has broken off and there was quite a bit of shreaded metal in there... so my question is how hard is it going to be to put a new tranny in the car ? and what other years/models can i use a tranny out of ?

I guess there's a first time for everything and that's the first time I ever saw anything like that. You may be able to get a good answer from a Ford Parts dept as to what will work, not fit, and what won't.

I think, I said think, 95-96-97 will work. Been over 5 years since I have seen any 95s. Good luck. Call a salvage yard also and they have an interchange manual.

ok so i found another tranny at a salvage yard for $180 came out of a 95 and they say if it dont work and or fit they will let me trade it in for another. so looks like i know what my next weekend will be like lol ive never seen anything like this either i was in total :eek: when i pulled it all apart

From the pix , looks like you didn't have to pull too hard !!

someone wouldnt happen to have a exploded view of the internals of the tranny they could post for me ?

Don't you have an exploded view right in front of you?


Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I wish you the best of success.

LOL yea i do have a very very exploded view hahaha lol i pulled the bad trans today ill post pics of all damages done lol :D

so i got a used trans yesterday from a u pull it yard, so i instaled it today and the car didnt move... A buddy told me i need to have the stall converter that was with this trans at the pull it yard. My question, Is the problem the not mached trans to stall conver. or am i missing something completly diffrent ?

probably a transmission out of a ford ltd or mercury grand marquis should fit ! about any of the bigger fords or mercury,s should fit as long as they have the same size engine as yours !
