[QUOTE="David Ponder, post: 935940, member: 65447"] TJR, At the time we bought this car, I had just replaced the head on my sons escort, and the plenum assembly under the dash of my ST which took me the better part of 2 days. (R&R entire dash from windshield back, huge PITA) I have always done my own work, but I am getting tired and frustrated in my older years. Currently we have a 95 Escort, 01 Escort, 01 Taurus, 01 ST, 06 Lincoln, 61 Galaxie, and 2 boats. I have more than enought to keep up with, just in maintenance! We had a long time to research this from November 2009 to August 2010, so we read reviews, looked at possible and other peoples documented failures, and the potential repair cost, and talked to a few other owners. We also do plan to keep the car for a long time. There was a TSB on this car for the ASAIN 6 speed tranny having sluggish shifts. I felt it happen only twice. Took it to have it checked, and they found metal shavings in the pan. Ford approved installing a complete reman tranny, but it only carried the remainder of the original factory warranty which was about 3 months. (OOW replacement cost would have been over $4K) The extended warranty was not financed, we wrote a check for it 6 days before the factory warranty expired. I'm not one to throw away my $$, and I am very frugal, but right now we decided this was the best move for us. [/QUOTE]
