IVRINGS Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well the truck is a 93 F-150 5.0 that has a rebuilt motor in it, but now at 244,000 miles it only has reverse in the mornings after it has been sitting. So I can leave for work and get to places I need to while my Audi is getting finished up, but how much would I be looking at for a trans to replace this one from a yard. Otherwise how much does a truck trans cost to rebuild. Doesn't seem like it would take much to pull the trans, but don't really have a way to get trans to a place once pulled. Any ideas or know of a cheap trans that works. If I can get better highway gear with a newer trans that will bolt up with no other problems I would be game.

Browning Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 if you rev it a little while in reverse does it kick in? I had an explorer thast done this. After a few weeks of reverse fucking up, all gears went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I would never do a tranny flush and filter on something with that high of milage. I know I didnt answer you questions, but when I had my tranny rebuilt in my truck (7.5l) it cost 2200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I didnt answer you questions, but when I had my tranny rebuilt in my truck (7.5l) it cost 2200Yeah I wouldn't of done it either, but it has been fine for 6-7 months since I had it, but it is just getting to that time to replace I feel. Since the truck was $450 when I got it I just want it to last a bit longer while I finish up my swap that I've been putting off since work and home stuff have been crazy. Anyone know of a place to get a cheap replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 would a neutral safety switch cause it not to shift? i know it kills reverse lights when it goes. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Marshalls Auto Parts, Inc. has this PERFECT AOD TRANS W/WARRANTY $249.95 w/ 125,000 Miles It listed these, but I don't know what trans it has in it. Is there a place I can check the vin to see what it has or do I just need to get under the truck when I get home.

IVRINGS Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Also just another note for everyone to get into high gear over say 45mpg you get off the gas and back on and it will shift. Just something I deal with since it wasn't much to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have anything up here since the only thing I have to go get the trans doesn't have rev and don't really want to drive that far.

I bought an engine from them with their usual "$xxx.xx perfect" bullshit description. After driving for a week the oil looked like metallic paint. Pulled the bearing caps and every bearing was trashed. Fuck those hillbillies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
