01' SportTrac trans

[Steve Krusich]

Looks like I am facing a complete trans teardown/overhaul. I am going to get some prices. What is ST's Ford transmission model number?

Thanks

Steve, that is the correct info that you were given for the tranny, and if you are llooking for a replacement tranny for it, then I have a palce that I bought my replacement from that has a pretty good track record to go on. At this time I am at work and cannot get you a phone number or direct info, but you can go online to: newyorkblock.com, or call this number:1 800 982-1711 and ask for "Z". He was very helpful and I got a great deal on my tranny. I cannot qoute you the numbers from mine at this time(it was back in January of this year), but it was less than $600 with no exchange and including shipping. The replacement was from a 2001 Ford Ranger and had about 15,000 miles on it. It was shipped on a skid and tethered very well, undamaged, and was really clean and had all the connections snipped. And I got lucky and had an UNnamed Ford dealer here in Dallas install it for me. Of course I cannot name the dealer because it was sort of an "under the table" deal and the service writer gave me a "handshake" warranty on the install for a full 120 days. It was installed there at the alership on a Saturday and I got it and my original tranny back on Monday. Oh yeah, I sold the used tranny to a recycler and he gave me $80.00 for it. Not a bad thought if you are4 cash strapped as I was...I couldn't afford to have my original dealer where I brought it brand new from for a whopping $3800 repair bill. I now have put over30,000 miles on that same tranny and it is doing fine. BTW, my ST had 9 miles on it when I bought it in 2001, and the tranny went out at 116,000 miles. so it lasted a while..... just thought I would lend you a hand in case you wanted options. Good luck with it!!!!!!!

Marvin, Thanks for the tip. Z no longer is with the company so I talked to Rick who quoted me $875 shipped for a 21K trans. The local Ford dealer quoted me $2100 to rebuild. Guess I need to decide..... THANKS

I had Rusty from Spartan lincoln Mercury set me up for $2500 out the door for a replacement tranny for my 2001. My 'Trac has been pretty much trouble free except for an IAC. Since I keep my vehicles for a long time, it was worth the $$$ to get it replaced. Especially since the new one has the improved valvebody design and solonoids.



Have a good one
