[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 1010586, member: 69241"] I'd try to locate the best independent transmission shop in the area and get a second estimate. Are there driveability issues here? Did Ford tech tell you why a trans rebuild/replacement was needed? Before I agreed to lay out $6K in repairs I'd want to know more about the diagnosis. Maybe l1tech can shed some light here. As far as getting a replacement vehicle, you're going to lose a lot of money if you were to trade this car with a known transmission problem. How much do you like the Trac? If it's a good car for you then I'd fix it, probably by having the transmission rebuilt rather than replaced. You might do some research on Ford's 5R55 transmission, like link below I found by web search. [/QUOTE]
