I was looking at an 01-02 Grand Marquis transmission to throw into my 4.6L 95 Cougar as my transmission is dying.
I looked on car-part.com and found a few in my area but they have 3 codes listed. I checked ebay and they list some of them as being for the Grand Marquis/ CV PI. I remember reading the PI transmission wouldnt work because it is to long.
My question is this. If I get one from car-part do I need the code 1W7P-AA, 1W7P-BA, or 1W7P-DA?
I actually ordered the service manual for my Cougar the night before I picked up the car. I have been around cars all my life but this was my first Cougar (or Ford for that matter).
I will be ordering the jmod kit also. Im not steady with a drill so Im playing it safe.
If the bad transmission is full of stuff when you drop the pan:
- Heavily flush the tranny cooler in the radiator, and all the lines.
- Don't reuse your old Torque converter. Use the one with the new tranny, or buy one.
- Inspect the drive shaft. If you have had vibration problems, Search my vibration threads, it may be what killed your tranny.
- Add a large cooler; I bought a really great one from DirtyD0g for a good price.
I'm glad I looked thru the search list, I also found a nice flame war I'd missed, lol...
