December 12th, 2013 my 5spd automatic transmission let go.. I was merging into traffic across a few lanes punched it and when it downshifted it took off, shortly after at around 3500rpms I hear a loud BOOM, the car jerked and pegged the rev limiter. There was no power to the rear wheels in either drive, 3rd, 2nd, or 1st. Even tried reverse when I came to a stop and nothing. Let it sit for a little over a week and finally towed it to Ford. The input shaft snapped and took out the whole transmission. Called AAA and towed it back to my garage to let it sit as I aqcuired parts to do the swap. Ford wanted $4,000 to put in a remanufactured 5r55s lol.. Not happening
Parts list
Started piecing it together last night. Thanks to my friends/local stangers and members of this board (Skwerl and VectorPat) I have these pieces so far.
This will be a slow build thread as I am in my last semester of my Radiography program at school. Definitely excited though! I will be posting up pictures each step of the way.
