I have a 96 taurus with 120,000 and the head gaskets blew. i was going to replace the engine but i was wondering could i get atleast 30,000 more miles outof the transmission before that has propblems two becauase i didnt have any problems with it before the engine blew. So how good is the transmission.

If you find a good fortune teller, let us know where they are. You can answer the question yourself. How does the car drive? Have you kept up with the service intervals using Mercon V? What does the pan look like inside when you have had it off?

If the transmission has made it that far and has has regular maintenance, and works well, I could see it going another 30k

Out of all the Fords, Taurus does have more transmission problems than the rest. Good luck!
