I love this car, but it went through 4 transmissions. The first one lasted 75,000 miles, a purchased rebuilt transmission lasted 50,000 miles, a repair to that transmission lasted about 30,000 miles, and then finally a good quality Jasper aftermarket transmission lasted the longest.
Until I got smart and installed the transmission, I was throwing money away ($1,200 to $2,000 for each repair.) Somewhere along the way I realized that if I changed the fluid according to a severe service schedule (either every 7,500 miles or once a year) it would last longer. Also installed an aftermarket transmission oil cooler.
This was a Ford engineering/design problem.
