Re: 98 Windstar w/ 3.8L. Transmission Problems

Hello

Did you check the fluid level? How many miles on the van? The salvage yard should be able to tell you what will cross references for your van. Did you ask them? I take it you did because you said they didn't have a trannie for a 98. How often have you changed the fluid in this trannie? Do you pull with this van?

Yes changing a trannie out is a couple day do able task. Especially with a large shop with air tools, and willing friends. (I'm sure they may need some computer help some day) I just changed mine in my 97 LeSabre. I lost everything above 2nd gear and no reverse.

Regards

Dan
