1995 Blown head gasket

Yep, I remember when I had it at 110. I felt like it could do 150 with no problems. Crisp lane changes, no shaking, very loud on the inside but that was normal for those escorts.

The parts cost to do each of the F4EAT rebuilds for me was a little over $500 per: Which included the master rebuild kit with the 2-4 band, the TSB for the oil pump relief valve spring, the 'shift kit' (which I recommend), and a rebuilt torque converter. I got each of them (three sets of all parts) from different U.S. Based transmission parts suppliers; all of which I found doing a google search. One was on Long Island NY, one was nearby where I was in south TX, one was in southern CA. I -think- all of the parts were made in the U.S.A, but I didnt go looking for labels.

If I had an automatic trans, I'd probably want to mail it to you.

Intuit: Sorry I wouldnt be able to help: Not only because I am a self-centered Scrooge, but because my kids and in-laws already have a line of 'Cars With Problems' waiting for me in my driveway.

I installed a toilet/sink/shower in the laundry room of my house. That was a lot more work than rebuilding an F4EAT.

hehehe. Sounds like the scrooge trait runs in the family.
Now you can look forward to plumbing and bathroom redoing calls as well.
