New MTX ?

[thecrew2999]

I just finished pulling my engine and trans tonight.
i pulled everything except a/c lines and brake lines, other then that the engine compartment is bare.
when i pulled the engine and trans i noticed something. the date on my mtx said 2003. now i know that cant be right but the trans looks pretty clean and newish (if thats a word) the sticker was dirty and when i went to wipe it off some of the numbers started to rub off but im 100% sure it said 2003 and i just wanna know whats up with this?

Jasper transmission rebuilt in 2003?

Reminds me of taking my waterpump off and finding 2004 written on the inside of it... d'oh!!!!! it still needed the upper60k though!

no its said ford all over the sticker, i could get the manufactor code and model and all if anyone likes? but still stumped why it says 2003 on it with a ford sticker.
did ford keep making transmissions up till at least 2003 for the sho ?

It's really hard to see the pics, is the print hand written?

Edit: It looks hand written to me, perhaps it was rebuilt in 2003.

its hard for me to get the cam to show you what it says. but its stamped on there

It looks about right to me. But after looking at the sticker on Phil's MTX last night and looking at my spare trans this morning. The date is a code, not a year. It's a number, letter, number, number code. My spare trans has 2A07, I'm betting yours is 2,o, 0 and 3.

Oh, I can tell you the year of manufacture though, the above was built in 1992, the F stands for 9 (decade) and the 2 is the year. So the above trans came out of atleast a 92. I'm betting yours has the same F2.

Edit:
After I little research, I have found that the transmission I have pictured was built on January 7, 1992.

The second number on your transmission can not be a oh or zero. maybe a C or D
