Berry1234, I couldn't tell you what the transmission costs , but I am pretty sure that Ford did not make any money on my expy. I will say this ,I picked it up after the latest overhaul and it runs great , it shifts smoother then it ever did ,and does not hang up in a gear or slip . It runs like a 40K+ SUV should , I guess the question is; will it last .Which I hope it does . I would like 150K at least out of this expy before it starts breaking on a regular basis,however for that to happen it would needs to stop breaking now
