Here are photos from my old transmission. Side that faces ICE. That 2" hole with the various seals next to it isn't supposed to be there! It leaks oil rather badly! Close up of hole - no idea where the seals came from. Wear channels on inside. End of shaft that made the hole. The bearing didn't seem to seat properly on its race. It seems like the gear is too far to the left or the race has moved to the right. Here's the complete shaft - except you can't see the bearing that is in previous photo. Note how teeth corners are gone from right side of left gear. Another shot of damaged gear. A number of the corners were scattered around inside the transmission! Its a bit scary to think I was driving around with all that carnage in there. Costs: Used transmission $1200 + $150 shipping + $200 for 1 year parts/labor warranty Installation labor $1400 Vibration damper "clutch" $142.55 Fluid $79.80 Anti-Freeze (I asked for a change in the ICE) $39.96 Various other parts $174.93 Engine oil (???) $14.75 Total parts $451.99 Shop supplies $30 (included brake job) Tax $25.55 Total for new transmission $3457.54 So, less than half that of new Ford transmission. Hope it lasts.
