Ford Reman Engines and Trannies
FORD REMANUFACTURED TRANMISSIONS AND ENGINES NOW WARRANTED FOR 3 YEARS OR 75K MILES
... of course they have some pretty stiff requirements to make the warranty valied, such as documented flushing of radiator or radiator replacement, but hey! ... if it helps to get a good product, it may be worth it. . http://www.motorcraft.com/powertrain.do . ... also be aware that different sales areas have different discounts/rebates going on at different times... I missed by two months an addition $250 rebate on the Winny tranny I just bought. Check with your local dealership for deals ... they vary by yearly quarter. This info prob never will be shown on the website. There's an engine rebate going on right now in the Southeast ... and perhaps elsewhere. |

Re: Ford Reman Engines and Trannies
I have had a FORD remanufactured transmission in my '96 windstar since about 2000/2001, I have just over 90K on it, and it is still doing very well.
At the time, they had a 2 year 24K mile warranty on them, when the competition had a 1 year 12K mile warranty. I had it installed at a dealership, $$, but no warranty concerns if something were to go wrong. It just does not pay to take short cuts with these items. I had read on several forums of people getting aftermarker, for 1/2 the price.....and were posting again shortly thereafter, very unhappy to be faced with another replacement.....just outside of the warranty period. I prefer to feel the pain 1 time, I HATE repeat major $$$ repairs. It hurt.......but as they say.......better to hurt just 1 time. There is NO savings to replacing the unit again. FORD has a very detailed TSB that has been updated, about how meticulous one has to be about flushing the cooler(s) when replacing a transmission. Again, no shortcut here is going to save you anything. How many posts have we seen about problems with replacement engines or transmissions?
