I have extended warranty and they have declined it because the trans cooler is what damaged the box so I need to get a second hand box or recon box. I called around all day Friday getting prices on and second hand and recon boxes. I have been told by alot of guys there different that the stall converter and planetary are stronger and I have also been told they are the same? I am shore they are different as I called some ford dealers and get them to tell me who they send there warranty boxes to and most of them told me they were different. calling blind I got alot of mixed answers. also told to vent the stock trans cooler and get get an after market one. I also have to get a new radiator and a engine flush. BTW a mate told me the NA 4 speed is in the territory and the turbo territory and share the same part number. so I am hoping to get some more reply's so settle this.

I think the V8 and I6 part number are different because of the bell housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
