Taurus Tranmission Identification
Is there a way to tell with the VIN what transmission this car is supposed to have in it from the factory? We pulled a AX4N out of the car and Ford is telling me it should have a AX4S. I want to avoid this on future repairs. The door tag says its a trans (L) Does anyone know how I can decode the vin and find out what trans it should have. I searched the forum and didnt find a way Thanks - JT

Re: Taurus Tranmission Identification
"L" is ax4s,, "X" is ax4n as far as I know, nothing in the vin to identify trans

Re: Taurus Tranmission Identification
AXOD and AXOD-E are not interchangeable, -E is electronically controlled.

Re: Taurus Tranmission Identification
The ax4s was the former axod.. the ax4s may say "axod metric" on the cover

Re: Taurus Tranmission Identification
I can't find any reference in the vin to trans type, only on the certification label;
