http://www.car-parts.com is your friend
just enter in your info and look up transmission and it will find JYs and Salvage yards with that tranny in stock |
Re: saying goodbye
that transmission is far from rare. it was used in millions of trucks from the mid 80's up through the early and mid 90's. the link that Scott posted is a good place to start looking for one.

Re: saying goodbye
either search for one or do a complete engine and tranny swap....

Re: saying goodbye
I don't know how rare it is. But one of my Parts rangers as a 3.0l with a 2wd Auto in it.

Re: saying goodbye
plenty of reputable salvage yards on eBay... LKQ has yards all over the US

Re: saying goodbye
Rare!? my friend you're sadly mistaken. Ford used that tranny in alot of other vehcles and not just trucks either. since yours is an older model I'd go ahead and do an engine and trans swap. yours is also considered an antique and they have virtually no laws concerning emissions standards so the skys the limit.

Re: saying goodbye
oh, yes, ford made only a million + of those transmissions. Very rare.

Re: saying goodbye
my transmission is fully electronic it was only made that way for 2 years so it makes it very difficult to get for less than $1500 which is out of my budget since im still in high school.

Re: saying goodbye
In 1991, I highly doubt the "electronic" aspect of your transmission is very electronic at all, and is easily swapped onto a non electronic trans/and or easily disabled with very slight if any side effects. Remember, Explorers are similar too, all the way up to 1994 at the least, so check them as well. I'm guessing you have a A4LD, which is a total shit bag of a trans anyway. Do a little research and see what other trans fit your truck, like possibly a C4 or so. If all else fails, manual swap.
