Lost my tranny....Need answers fast 1995 Mustang GT

DeathMagnet · 10-11-2009

Ok well the worst thing that could happen to my 95 Mustang GT happened...tranny is f'ed. at first i thought it was just first gear i lost, but with further driving (was trying to get home from wrok) i found out it was A LOT more...So i drove it to a transmission place and left it over night.

I was wondering what kind of transmission it has. Is it an AOD or AODE? Also what might it cost me to do a rebuild on it? Would it just be better to buy a high preformance transmission...

Please reply fast, I gotta go meet the repair man tomorrow...

at first i thouhgt it was only first gear, Because after it would shift outta 1st it was smooth. so i kinda baby it the rest of way to work (about a mile from when it started). I get there and drive to my first post. And it had only gotten worse. So i let the car cool for about 4 hours. Get in it again and am ready to go home. I still only thought it was first gear so i was gonna go onto the freeway and just baby it home also. But just befor i get on the freeway i shift into 3rd and my car shakes BAD! like i thought i got hit by someone. So i knew not to bring it onto the free way. so i just drive a painful 30 miles to the local tranny repair man. as i drove there it got worse, now every gear drives rough.

what could i expect to pay for a rebuild? im hopping we get a discount because the owner is a family friend

idk bout the cost... get some ideas from the guys here on who's reputable for your location. had an AODE in mine... traded for a Tremec t-56... ask the rebuilder about a J-Mod... on a beefy build; it'll turn that 5.0 into a monster!

Grrr. no one has an estimate?

DeathMagnet · 10-13-2009

Well i found out today its gonna cost 1750 for the rebuilt with labor. Is that a good price?

No. For a little over $2000 you can get a new tranny from PA Automatic that'll handle at least 450hp.

I dont need something like that, i dont think im gonna get the pony up the high haha

It wouldn't hurt to have a tranny that can handle a lot more HP than stock even if you don't really need it, and it'll cost just $400 more than a stock rebuild on your old tranny.
This is a good time to think about upgrading the torque converter and adding an auxiliary tranny fluid cooler.

+2, upgrade, you just never know what future bugs will grab you.
