Transmission questoins

Hey guys, i got a few questions about the 93 sho automatic transmission. i'm looking at buying a 93 that has a bad tranny in it and i am comeing across... i've been seeing that there are 2 transmissions in the 93, the AX4N and the AXOD.
any advice/explanations would be nice!

Hopefully if you elect to purchase this SHO Automatic, then you are getting it at a deal simply because you will be spending alot of money to get it fixed. Tranny prices vary in price from $1500 to $2500.

I have not grenaded my tranny yet, but when I do, there are only 2 choices for me:

1: Jasper transmissions: 3 year 75000 mi warranty which is better than what the Ford dealer offers. And costs like 1700.

2: Doug Lewis at http://fordspecialists.com/ rebuilds the best tranny we know of on this board since it is nearly bullet proof and can handle whatever you throw at it: nitrous or blower. Price is like $2250 though.

So, with that said, this Automatic better be in fantastic shape if you are looking to just get it and put the new tranny it it.

FYI: You can get SHO's very cheap in good condition with working tranny's at a low price. 1995 Automatic with less than 100K could be had for less than $3500......much less sometimes.


hope this helps.

the car is in great shape all around(except for tranny of course) the guy is just tired of it sitting around so he will sell it for relatively cheep, $700... it has 178,000 miles on it

damn thats a horrible deal. Pass it up, 1. the tranny is shot. 2. no 180k miles SHO is worth that kind of money with a busted tranny. There are much more out there.

WHAT?! oh_my shrug 700 bucks for a sho with no tranny and 3.2l is definatly within reason. my sho has 178k on it but looks better then 90% of sho's out there. if it's a nice car i'd say it's very much worth it.

NO its not, granted I bought my SHO for $1,000 and all it needed was rear subframe mounts. I'd say go for it.

For what it's worth, the car is worth whatever you're willing to pay for it. If a vintage SHO with over 175k that has good tranny on it is worth 2800 bucks to you,(700 + 1700 + misc) do it. If you can find a better deal, negotiate!

Good luck!
